Why does my iPad 1 not hold a charge

For past couple of days ipad1 won't hold it's charge for more than an hour or so, charged it overnight and seemed to be ok but quickly drained. Any advice would be welcome.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue, i.e. battery.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

    Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

    The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
    If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

    batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out.  Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

  • Ipad battery not holding a charge

    My ipad 2 is not holding a battery charge. I have let the battery completly drain and have charged it using the the cord that I recieved when I bought it, over night, (8hrs +). I have owned my ipad for over 2 yrs. and have never had any problem recharging it until now! Any suggestions?

    Have you tried using a different charger? Haven't heard of an iPad battery going bad... however, the chargers do quite regularly from a lot of use.
    Let me know if that helps, or if not...

  • Why does my ipad mini not have any sound?

    My ipad mini does not have sound in any of my apps (mostly games). Sound is on in settings, and sound is turned on in each app. It is a first generation mini, not a retina display. Thanks for any suggestions.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

  • Why does my iPad backup not show up in iTunes?

    Everytime I attempt to backup my iPad, the screen on the iPad goes to the Apple logo startup and either holds on that or intermittently comes back w/ the "Sync in Progress" message. I let it go all the way to completion...it appears in iTunes as if alll is normal (albeit slow). When it completes I check iTunes to see if it's available to restore from and it doesn't show on the list. My hard disk has obviously gotten 20 or so GB more full and there's a new backup file in the Mobile Sync library directory. I have scoured the message boards about this particular problem and have tried almost everything suggested. I delete the backup folder. I do a hard reset on the iPad. I have deleted and removed as much as I can from the iPad and gotten about 5GB of space. I upgraded my MBP OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Some have mentioned deleting and re-installing iTunes, but I figured the OS refresh basically was the equivalent of that. Any other suggestions? Could I/should I consider backing up to my work MBP or is the problem in the iPad itself? Would love to not have to wipe my iPad and lose music and other original files I don't have backed up. But also am patiently waiting to upgrade to iOS 5!
    iPad 32 GB WiFi
    MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    These are the instructions for that specific code.
    Error 40265xxxx: Errors of the 40265xxxx range generally occur during the restore-from-a-backup  phase, after  iOS has been installed on the device. Restoring the  device and setting up as new can resolve the issue. Before restoring as  new, take steps to preserve the previous backups created by iTunes, such  as copying the contents of the Backup directory onto the desktop. See iPhone and iPod touch:  About backups to learn where backups are stored for your  computer's operating system and additional precautionary notes regarding setting up as new. The  backups created by iTunes store data such as your SMS, Favorites,  Bookmarks, and other app data.

    I think you are going to have to restore as new. Deleting that MobileSync backup folder may have caused the problem. When you delete the backup from iTunes like I was asking about, you are only deleting one particular backup. If you have multiple iDevices - all of the backups would be in that one folder - I think that's how it works.

  • Why does the iPad AppStore not show sub categories ?

    I always search around on my iPhone and come across a new app but on the iPad you can only see featured apps, is there a reason why it is like this, why we can't browse apps like on the iPhone.

    Dude why do you have to be a nub? You know what he means. Don't suggest using your computer to search. That is ignorant. The whole point in getting a iPad is to replace using a computer for easy day to day usage. Especially in this case. Searching the iPad app store is a joke. I been messing around with this thing for a hour trying to do stuff that takes seconds on my iPhone. There is they key statement. iPhone! Can you say iPhone? The iPhone has a superior search function to the iPad. There is absolutely positively no reason get go sit at my computer to search apps when I can do everything I want from the comfort of my bed on my iPhone at night. So apple got it right on the iPhone but dropped the ball on the iPad app store. Sure I can search from my iPhone but I want to search iPad specific apps in the RPG games category. Is that to much to ask? The iPhone already does it so don't say goto your computer. I have bought a ton of games I didn't even know I wanted by searching sub categories on my iPhone. I'd like to think this was a oversight that will be fixed but looking at older post it seems this has been the case for awhile, so it leads me to believe there is some evil pay apple to get yours apps featured thing going on.

  • Why does my iPad mini not receive 2.4ghz signal but does receive 5.0 ghz signal?

    I have an iPad mini that does not receive a signal from any router on 2.4 ghz, but does receive a signal from the same router if it is 5.0 ghz. Since most public wireless systems broadcast on 2.4 ghz, I am unable to use the mini anywhere except my home office, where I have dual frequency router. I have checked into every technical help site I can find, and most of them suggest resetting the mini, resetting the router, etc. Nothing works so far. Is it possible that the receiver in the mini is defective? Has anyone else had this problem?

    There is a problem with iPad Mini's as this has happedned with two separate mini's. I have been to every Apple related site that I can find, and have reset both the units and the Netgear router in my home office numerous times without success. I'm a retired electronics engineer, formerly in Silicon Valley, so I'm reasonably confident that I haven't missed anything obvious in troubleshooting this problem..
    I have been to the local Apple store and have had a couple of consultations with the geniuses there. In each case they have confirmed that the units will not receive a 2.4 ghz signal but will receive 5 ghz.  Apple stores only have 5 ghz wireless so it took a while for them to understand the problem and I had to connect to a 2.4 ghz system with my iPhone5 to a department store next door before they would believe me. They did take back the first unit and within two weeks the second unit had failed in the same way. 5 ghz OK but no reception on 2.4 ghz. Since most public wireless systems are on 2.4 ghz, the unit is rather worthless when I am travelling.
    I use an iPad2, an iPhone5 and a Macbook Air and we have two other iPads in the family, all of which are on the same 2.4 ghz wireles system and all functioning properly. I can only conclude that the 2.4 ghz transmitter/receiver in the iPad mini has a fundamental fault and hopefully Apple will recognize it and have a fix. In this case it will have to be a replacment unit as it's unlikely a technician would be able to replace the electronics in the field.
    I  would like to hear from anyone who has observed this same problem. Unfortunately, most of the advice on these forums concentrate on resetting the iPad or the router and fail to understand that the  problem is hardware related and not software related. Perhaps this could be the beginning of a dialogue and a potential fix for the problem.

  • Why does my iPad 2 not list software updates in the settings?

    My iPad 2 does not give an option for software updates in the general settings.

    Because it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0. The next update needs to be installed from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one the device normally syncs with.

  • Why does my ipad say not yet connected to itunes store? It wont let me download apps

    I'm a first time user. Tohis happens when i try to download an app it always says that its not yet connected to the itunes store. Help?! (the new ipad 3)

    1.5GB is basically full.  Your iPad needs an absolute minimum of 10% of its total space free, and maybe more.
    You can go to Settings > General > Usage and see the space hogs and do some cleaning based on what you see.
