Why does my iPad only charge from my Macbook?

I have the origional ipad (it does what I need so I don't see the point in upgrading) it has worked fine since I got it.
However recently a bizzare bug has appeared, it will only charge when plugged into my 2012 macbook pro but when I plug it into the 50W Mains adaptor it refuses to charge, what is going on? I have tired different cables, different chargers everything!

The iPad 1 charger is 10W not 50W. Make sure that the outlet that you are using is working.

Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

Why does my iPad only receive some of my waitrose.com e mails?

The camera kit will only see photos that follow a very strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM, and within that the file names of the photos have to be exactly 8 characters...DSC_3584 for example.
It also will not see SDXC cards unless they have been reformatted.
If those phones don't use the right naming convention the iPad kit simply won't see it.

HT4060 Why is my IPad only charging to 1% and then stopping?

Hey everyone,
I have had my IPad for about 8 months and only recently it has started charging to 1% and then stopping. Only allowing me to use it for about a minute. Is this happening to anyone else? Why is this happening? What should I do?

Try this first - 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 buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
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.

Why does sync fotos only work from computer to iPad , and not truly sync both ways??

One way synching !!

Because that's the way that Apple designed it to work. You can import photos from your iPad to your computer by using the cable that is provided with the iPad and by following the instructions here.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
You can use a third party WiFi app like this one. I use this one myself.

You can can also use Dropbox and other cloud syncing services.

Why does my Ipad only detect some micro SD cards??

I have the Ipad 4 and SD card adapter with micro Sd. I take the micro SD card from my galaxy S3 phone and insert it into the adapter and it doesn't detect any photos. When I insert my friends SD card from their phone (Sony Ericsson) it detects all photos!! I am sure it's a simple solution. I have formatted the card but still no photos!

The camera kit will only see photos that follow a very strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM, and within that the file names of the photos have to be exactly 8 characters...DSC_3584 for example.
It also will not see SDXC cards unless they have been reformatted.
If those phones don't use the right naming convention the iPad kit simply won't see it.

Why does my iphone4 not charge from the wall when on? But will charge when on and plugged into my laptop? I've tried different wall plugs, charging docks.. Nothing works, not even car charger.. Anyone else having this issue since the update?

My iphone 4 will no longer register my wall charger while on.. It WILL charge if turned off.. OR, if I plug it in to my laptop while on. Tried any different cords and plugs, all the same result.. REALLY REALLY frustrating!!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Why does my iPad disconnect from wi-fi?

why does my iPad intermitently disconnect from my home wireless network?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

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.
