Unable to charge IPad 2

I am unable to charge my IPAd 2.  The cord is working fine as it did access my computer but I get the message 'not charging' .  Apple support was useless in getting any response/suggestions so thought I'd try here.  Does it need a new battery?  It's about 2 years old, so of course no warranty.  It's working through me computer at the moment and d/l latest update.  Is there a battery test?
Any help appreciated.

Does it charge with the 10W Apple charger?
If not:
Are you sure that the charger is working?
Is there power to the outlet you are using?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    That's normal. Most USB ports dont' put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. (It says 'not charging' even though there is a trickle charge...it will charge over USB, but it'll take hours and hours)
    Your iPad is best charged with the supplied charger plugged into the wall.

  • I am unable to charge my iPad

    I am unable to charge my iPad

    Can you give us more information ? How do you try to charge you iPad ?
    For information:
    - generally laptop computers (and some desktop ones) have not enough power on USB port to charge an iPad
    - sometimes, my iPad is charging but the "power icon" doesn't show that. It is only a display issue that can be resolved by rebooting the iPad

  • TS2634 I am unable to charge my iPod.

    I am unable to charge my iPod touch at all. I have tried several different USB cables (including new ones) and none work. I am also unable to sync my iPod with iTunes and back up my purchases. What do I do? I could buy another I pod but I don't want to lose everything I have on my present iPod. Is there any way I can charge my iPod without using a USB cord?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an iPod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I will be glad to help solve your problem with your iPod/iPad/or iPhone.
    Restart the Computer?
    Reset iPod/iPad/or iPhone:
    Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons on your  iPod/iPad/or iPhone for at least 10 seconds, or until Apple logo appears
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, could you please reply back as soon as possible, as I will try to find another solution to your problem.
    Sincerely,
    Pizza98704

  • Unable to charge iPhone 5

    unable to charge iPhone 5 cleaned out the charging point and even had a new battery fitted

    The iPhone charger is 5W while the iPad charger is 10W. Do neither work to charge the iPhone or iPad? Since you can charge (slowly) via the computer, the cable is good.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Unable to charge my ipad3 with itunes.Any suggestions

    Presuming you mean charge your iPad via USB it doesn't work that way. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to fully charge an iPad. In fact, the USB puts out about half the iPad's minimum requirements.
    The best way to charge it is with the supplied charger plugged into the wall.

  • Missing Contacts... Unable to Charge

    Hi
    This morning when I returned from the weekend, I was told by ALL of our iPhone users (using ActiveSync with our Exchange server) that during the course of the weekend, their phone contacts disappeared (all of the contacts) and their iPhones were unable to charge.
    Two things happened over the weekend, our Exchange server was down and our self-signed SSL certificate expired. I'm not sure why the contacts that exist on the phone went AWOL, is there something inherent in ActiveSync that would explain this behaviour? Once the server was up again, the contacts were available, even before I renewed the certificate. This doesn't make sense because some of these users travel outside of data coverage areas without losing their contacts. Also, any ideas as to why during this oddness, the users were unable to charge their phones.
    This all seems very strange. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Unless you have a high-powered USB port on your computer then it won't charge (not quickly anyway) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    What is the best way to charge my iPad mini ? When I play Internet games at the same time using FaceTime my battery drain fast is it normal ?

    The mini came with a 5W charger. If you are going to use the mini like you described, suggest you get a 12W charger like that for the iPad 3 & 4. The 12W charger should maintain your battery charge level.
