When I plug my iPad Air in, it doesn't pick up the charger being plugged in.

When I plug my ipad air in, it doesn't pick up the charger until I move the plug around a few times, and when I let it go, it doesn't pick it up anymore.
ive tried using a different brand charger, and I'm now back to using the one that came with an iPod that I got a few months before the iPad.
the charge cord works perfectly fine on the iPod but doesn't work on the iPad.
this has been happening for a few weeks and it's getting really frustrating.
please help. 

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • How do I get rid of the big white bar on the side of safari when I rotate my iPad Air horizontal?

    When I rotate my iPad Air horizontal, about 1/3 of the screen on the left is white and says "favorites and reading list".  I am not sure how this all of the sudden appeared, but it didn't used to be like that.

  • IPad Air iOS8.0.2. I used the photos app to edit my photos and created a new album for them. When I transfer my photos to my PC via cable (not allowed to use cloud services by my boss) i can only transfer the unedited versions. Any tips? Thanks!

    iPad Air iOS8.0.2. I used the photos app to edit my photos and created a new album for them. When I transfer my photos to my PC via cable (not allowed to use cloud services by my boss) I cannot choose this edited album, only transfer the unedited versions. Any tips? Thanks!

    Hi Anjohi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've edited photos on your iPad and only see the original version when you import them to your computer, the tips in this article may help:

  • Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen doesn't move between landscape or portrait when I turn it. Any tips for getting it to do so?

    Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen only shows the portrait view and won't change to landscape view when I turn the device. Any tips for getting back both views?

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that didn't work, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

  • My iPad air 2 takes a LONG time time to charge

    So I recently got a IPad Air 2 and I have used the 10w charger which it came with but it takes a LONG time to charge. In around 1 hour is only goes up around 10% and the charger gets quite hot. Also sometimes it displayed the message,"Not charging," up in the corner where the battery symbol is. Now I got the 12w wall plug charger and it's abit faster and the charger gets hot but not as hot as the other one just warm. I haven't had the message,"Not charging," yet.
    Has anyone had the same issue or can help because I don't think It is a battery issue as the iPad air 2 is brand new and I only got it 2 days ago.

    Mine is a new IPAD Air and I have about 50 apps - the device has been trying to download/sync my apps overnight and it is nowhere near done......I have been trying to do it through Itunes leaving it with the IMAC (syncing computer) overnight but it is nowhere near done......
    The IMAC uses a wireless connection for Itunes, etc.....
    As of now the IPAD Air is showing that it is downloading but I wonde whether I should shut it down and restart?
    The downloads have been going on for about 12 hours.....

  • Upgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to iPad Air.  I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad.  Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?

    I'm ipgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to a new iPad Air.  I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad.  Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?
    Also, every time I get a new device and transfer stuff from the old, I wind up with no folders.  How can I avoid that this time? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Make a backup of your old iPAd to itunes or iCloud.
    Then restore from that backup when setting up the new iPad Air.
    The restore will put your data onto the new iPad.  (The Os will remain at 7).
    Folder structure is a little iffy. Since backups don't restore Apps, only data, you would still need to re-download the Apps to the new Air and as such would need to create the folders for them.

  • We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter.  Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

    We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old.  Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID  for her to avoid this?

    It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
    The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
    To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

  • My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

    My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.  This is already the 2nd time.  Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem.  It happened less then 30 days and same problem again.  Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again?  thanks

  • When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.
