Why does my iPad charge very slowly

I have charged my iPad for 3 hours and its only at 20% why does it charge so slowly? Please help I am going on vacation and I need my iPad. I have tried clearing my storage up a lot but it has done nothing.

In addition to the suggestions by Amilixkan, are you using the charger that came with your iPad? An iPhone charger will charge an iPad, but much slower. Another trick is to turn the device completely off (hold down the sleep wake button until slide to power off appears, then charge it with the device off.

Why is the iPad charging very slowly and not completely

The iPad recently has stopped holding its charge and is charging very very slowly--even after being plugged in overnight it is only half charged. I did just download the upgrade and am wondering if that could have something to do with it?

What model iPad is it? Try a reset - press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo appear on screen (could take 10-15 seconds be patient), then release them and allow it to finish rebooting normally. Then try charging it again. If that doesn't help then try charging it while it's powered off and see if that helps.
I had the same problem on my iPad 3 a couple of months back, before I upgraded to iOS 7. One day out of the blue it barely charged at all despite several hours on the charger. I powered it off and charged it for 2-3 hours, and it's been fine ever since. I suspect it would have been fine if I'd simply reset or restarted it.

Why does my ipad charge no reaction

The new ipad charge without charging reaction.
But that charger can charging for ipod touch.
And the new ipad can't connect iTunes.

There are 4 things that could be wrong if your iPad doesn't charge
First, like others have said ONLY charge it plugged into the wall with the original provided charger. The iPad will not charge from a USB or computer. It also will not charge well using an iPod charger...yes the plugs are the same but the power output is not.
If you plug your iPad into the mains and you don't get the 'charging' chime and you're also having issues iwth iTunes, there could be an issue with your iPad.
The charger is bad
The outlet is bad
The cable is bad
The port on the iPad is bad
If you have another iPad charging brick, give it a try and see if the problem resolves or remains
If you have another USB cable swap it out and see if hte problem resolves or remains
Plug them into a different outlet and see if hte problem resolves or remains
If you can replicate the 'not charging' with multiple chargers and cables and outlets then the only thing that remians is your 30 pin port going bad, which does happen. If that's the case, make an appointment at your ocal apple store and have them take a look at it. (Be prepared for them to do the whole troubleshooting gig because they'll have to confirm that it's not just your charger or cable). If they can replicate it, and barring any signs of obvious 'abuse or neglece' then the malfunction can be covered under the warranty.

Are you charging by connecting it to the charger that came with the iPad and have that charger plugged into a wall outlet? this is the best way to charge an iPad. Plugging the iPad into your pc pouter USB port for charging is not recommended as most USB ports do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. Here are some things that could go wrong.
1. Bad cable. Try a different name brand or Apple branded cable.
2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
3. Direct lint or fuzz in the connector ports. Check and carefully clean with a wooden toothpick if necessary.
4. Software failure. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
5. Hardware failure including battery failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Why does my iPad take forever to charge?

Why does my iPad 2 wi fi take forever to charge?

The quickest 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. 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 will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
You may need to recalibrate your battery.

Why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.

i don't know why...

Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

You need to provide more detail. What do you mean by "a long time?" Are you charging it plugged into a wall socket?

My ipad drained one day. Now, it charges VERY slowly. There is no beep and no lightning bolt sign. But I know it's charging slowly.

That should not be the case with the charging. You may want to visit an Apple store and see what they recommend. An iPad will not charge from a USB port on a computer as there is not enough power. You say you are plugging into the wall so I am guessing there is a charger block involved. There may be something wrong with the charger block so it may be worthwhile finding another iPad charger and trying that charger.

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

Ipad 4 charging very slowly

my ipad 4 charge very slowly it takes 10 to 12 hrs of charging ..

Hi applechargersucks,
If at anytime you are having issues with charging your iPad, consult the article below first. It will have you try out a different cable or USB cable or power adapter if you have one available. If you do not have access to that then I would look into contacting Apple Support.

Read the KB article. Make sure you are using the 10W adapter that came with the iPad or a High-Power USB 2.0 port.
