Why does 2nd gen iPad flash when connected to charger?

2nd gen ipad will not charge - instead flashes when connected to charger

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again
You can also try a different charger,cable and outlet and see if they are hte issue.
Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? If via USB, try charging with the included power block plugged into the wall

  • Why does ios 7 automatically update when connected to charger

    I don't want to install ios7 but when I have connected my iphone 5 to the charger it had automatically started to download it, the only way I have found not to download it is to take it off charge, but I need to charge my phone and don't want to update it. How can I charge my phone without updating my phone to ios 7?? Someone please help, thank you

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen - no lights when using mains charger

    Am going on hols shortly so bought a mains charger for my shuffle - when I plug it in, the orange light flashes and then goes off - shouldn't it stay on constant orange then turn green when it's charged? it did the same with both mine and my partner's ipod and I know mine needed some charging.

    Purchased a generic USB charger today. After connection LED light on ipod flashed thrice (orange) and then LED switched off automatically. Tested the voltage out put through dock pins and compared with another mains charger (Apple certified) which works. Voltage at the two data pins (Top 2) showed +3 V in the charger(that works) but 0 V on the chager which did not work. The other two pin (bottom +ve, next -ve) showed +5 V and 0V respectively on both the charger. My conclusion is that the data pin connections for shuffle might be different for some reason. Any body knows anything about it. In Google I fount one picture which showed that there is a circuit board within the dock. The Dock for Shuffle 2nd Gen is not just a USB to 3.5mm connector.

  • Why does my macbook air work when connected to HDMI but not my iMac

    Hi. I have an HDTV, an HDMI cord, and a HDMI -> thundebolt adapter. I plug this in to my 2013 MBA and it works fine, but when I plug it into my iMac, nothing happens.
    Why?
    Do I need a DVI -> HDMI adapter (I already have one for my dual monitor, so it would only be 5$ for the adapter.

  • 2nd gen shuffle problem when connected to different mac

    I plugged the shuffle into a mac, set it up, put songs on it, and everything worked fine. Now, I came home, plugged it into my Mac (a different one) it mounted, but iTunes popped up with a screen saying that the iPod is synced to a different computer and I can only choose "Erase & Sync" or "Cancel." I did not sync it with the first Mac. I only put a few songs on it by choice. I do not want to erase it and when I hit cancel, it ejects the shuffle from iTunes and Finder. Why wont iTunes just mount the shuffle w/o needing it to be synced to this computer???????

    I did not sync it with the first Mac. I only put a few songs on it by choice.
    Transferring any songs to an iPod shuffle with iTunes will associate that iPod with that specific iTunes library.
    Why wont iTunes just mount the shuffle w/o needing it to be synced to this computer???????
    The iPod shuffle models do not support manual synchronization, which is required to access the iPod's music library from a copy of iTunes other than the one it was originally associated with. All other models of iPod do.

  • HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • 1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

    HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
    It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."  Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
    Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
    This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
    We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
    *Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
    ...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.

    If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
    Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
    Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner.
