What is the typical amount of time for an iPad to fully charge?

I have a brand new iPad, third generation, WiFi/LTE, 64 GB.  It seems to take up to 6-7 hours to fully recharge.  I am concerend, only because I had a first generation iPad, and it would charge in 2 1/2 hours.  Is this normal?
Thanks

The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (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.

  • TS3988 I am in the midst of setting up my new iPad Air, and the process seems to be stuck on "Updating iCloud settings..."  What is a reasonable amount of time for this step to take?

    I am in the midst of setting up my new iPad Air, and the process seems to be stuck on "Updating iCloud settings..."  What is a reasonable time for this step to take?

    Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to a minute.  If it's stuck, you might want to give Apple support a call to see if they are experiencing unreported server issues.  Since your device is new, you are within the 90-day free call support period.  You can set up the call here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.  You will need your serial number, which is on the box and (I believe) the back of your iPad.

  • What is the usual turn around time for MacBook Pro repairs?

    I took my Early 2011 MacBook Pro in for service at an Apple Store last Saturday (10/12) and they decided to send it to the repair depot, so I paid the repair costs and gave them my MacBook. I was told that it would be shipped out that night, over-nighted, repaired, then shipped back to me. They said it's usually a 3-5 day turnaround.
    I've been checking my repair status frequently for any updates, but "Shipment to repair center pending" has been the only thing it's shown since Saturday (I do understand that shipping estimates can be delayed). Yesterday (Mon.) I called the store to ask why this was showing and to get an update. They told me that shipping services don't run on the weekends or Columbus day, so the computer should probably reach repair by Tuesday. First, this isn't accurate unless it's specific to the Apple Store because all shipping services besides USPS run on weekends AND Columbus Day isn't a recognized holiday. Second, Tuesday has passed and I'm still only seeing "Shipment to repair center pending".
    This is pretty frustrating. I'm already behind on work and school work because of this (which is fine because I expected the 3-5 days), but I can't afford to be in this situation much longer than that.
    What I'm wondering is, what is the usual repair time that others have experienced? When should I start to investigate this more and who do I contact? I'm worried that the store will keep giving me the same response.

    I made a super simple tool for tracking repairs done by Apple/Genius bar so users can get text message updates on their order status.

  • What's a reasonable amount of time for time machine to "prepare" a hard drive?

    I'm trying to put my time machine backup onto a new 3TB external hard drive (my iMac has 500Gb of data).  The first external drive said it would take 11 days to back up.  After it was running for 3 days I asked an apple genius how long it should take to create this time machine using USB 2.0 and was told it should take no more than 10-11 hours.  He informed me that the hard drive was probably bad.  I have since purchased a new hard drive and am currently trying to put a time machine backup on it.  I started 4 hours ago and the time machine still says it is "preparing backup." At least the first drive was quicker to prepare the backup and gave me a time estimate.  
    Is this an appropriate amount of time to set up time machine?  Is something wrong with my iMac?  Can both hard drives be bad out of the box?  Am I too impatient?

  • What will the shipping package look like for an IPad I ordered online from the Apple Store?  The reason I'm curious is because it's going to be a gift.

    I'm curious as to what kind of packaging a gift I ordered online from the Apple store will come in.  It's going to be an IPad, and I don't want it to be too obvious what the item is, just in case the recipient sees the package.  I'm hoping it's in a brown cardboard box.

    Mine shipped in a standard brown box. Inside was the white Apple retail packaging for the iPad.

  • What is the MAX amount of DATA for JDBC?

    Hello,
    Did anybody had any expericence with how jdbc works with large amount of data SAY
    > 1/2 GIG or more?
    Any help apprecieated
    Thanks.
    Paul

    Always depends on the driver implementation. Each
    driver/database combination deals with massiveamounts
    of data in a single transaction differently. Canyou
    be more specific? In general Most Drivers of
    commercial grade quality and/or shipped with the
    top
    5
    RDBMS have pretty solid implementations limitedsoley
    by network bandwidth to carry this info. A good
    developer however will not rely on the driver to
    manage this much info and will develop a scheme
    to
    minimize the impact of such large data transferson
    an
    unsuspecting database or client.
    LThis is what I thought. I just need moreinformation
    if for example I have a JAVA process which feedsdata
    from RDMBS and the amount of data the processreceives
    SAY 2GIG My guess this all get in "ResultSet"object
    and thus all feeds in VM( memory) so I have to
    designing my process SUCH that it takes only asmall
    sample of data and iterate this until I get all the
    information from my query. Ex.
    select * from test where data between 1 and 2000000;I
    have to brake this down by "DAYS"
    so my code will be something like
    for (int i=0 ;i<2000000 ;i++) {
    String select=null;
    select="select * from test where data="+i+;
    do( something else)
    Am I close far? Is there another way that may beJDBC
    driver handless this behind scenes?
    Well personally I think you should be structuring your
    SQL better than that. Making 2000000 calls over a
    network in a for loop is suicidal..and lets not forget
    how something like that will block your application.
    First you can do something like "select * from test
    where data <= 2000000" in one shot. Now you get the
    whole set and you can scroll through and do your
    operation ( of course this is slow too, but its much
    better than running the query 2000000 times ).
    the other thing you have to consider is : is it
    necessary to really block during an operation like
    this? Can it be done in another thread? a daemon
    process even? Some service which can be polled for
    results when needed?
    This is a tricky example and I'd be interested to know
    more about what you are trying to do.
    When you were talking about large data I was under the
    impression of something like a blob, clob, or any sort
    of single query with 2gb of data in the result.
    Can you break up your query? Doing things in batch in
    an alternative thread can yield to other processes
    perhaps?
    Loh, and also: Can the Database itself take care of this business? Stored Procedures and Internal Functions are all built to handle massive amounts of data with minimal impact. Can you leverage the technology within the Database to accomplish your goal? Sometimes a well written procedure can save you tons of work in your business logic tier.
    The right tools for the right job..

  • What is the normal shut down time for the mac book pro retina display (late 2013). Mine takes around 20 secs.Is this normal or should i be worried ?

    Hi I got a new mac book pro retina display of 8G ram and 256GB ssd (late 2013 model). I was trying to shut down.It was taking around 20-30 secs.Is this normal? When i say shutdown i mean , i just login and shutdown.Do nothing else. I repeated the same process for 4 or 5 times. The numbers are the same.

  • How long should it take for my iPad to fully charge?

    My ipad takes forever to charge

    "Forever" is a bit nebulous. Can you possibly give an estimate in hours? I rarely pay attention to how long it takes my iPad to charge as I put it on charge when I go to sleep at night and it's charged when I take it off in the morning. From dead to full, probably around 3 hours, though.
    Are you charging it using the included charger? Or are you trying to charge it by connecting it to a USB port on your computer? Many computers don't have USB ports that provide enough power to charge an iPad unless the screen is off and then only very slowly.

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.
    Concerned Mom

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

  • I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show.  I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings.  What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

    I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand.  Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program.  Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig.  I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record.  Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this?  Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share.  Thanks.
    CP

    I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad.  Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment.  I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal.  Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time.  I hope this feedback helps.  One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.
