Why does my iPad say it's not charging even though it's plugged in?

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

If you are trying to charge from a USB port on your computer, the port may not supply enough power to charge the iPad. It may even be charging but very very slowly and it will say not charging. You should use the power adapter that came with the iPad and plug the adapter into  a wall socket for the most efficient way to charge.
This artcle will explain it

  • Why does my iPad say it is not edible for a free iCloud account?

    i am trying to create a new iCloud account on my old iPad 2 (I now have a iPad air 2) and my old iPad is saying it is not edible for a iCloud account what do I do?

    It is indeed a limit of three accounts - this is tied to the hardware, not the account, and can't be got round. If you create an account on another Mac or iOS device (not Windows) you can then sign into it on the iPad in question.
    Should you care for an edible iPad you can purchase one here:

    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.

  • HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

    why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

    At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
    For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
    Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
    Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

  • TS3274 Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner

    Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner ?

    Hi Edwardtracey,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have a cellular data plan and there is no service where you currently are.
    The article below will explain this feature and how to turn the setting on/off.
    The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
    iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
    Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
    See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
    Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
    Use Personal Hotspot.
    You can adjust this setting by going to:
    iPad: Settings > Cellular
    Additional Information
    You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features from this setting:
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore apple ids or and i cloud account

    Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore applie ids or an i cloud account abd how do i get an account HELP please !!!!!

    Hello, I had the same problem (repeatedly) until I did this, it works!
    Remove sim, very very lightly rub the sim card's contacts (the metallic parts) with a standard pencil eraser. I suspect its just a micro-residue from the manufacturing process interfering with complete contact.

  • Help! CC has been withdrawn by Adobe saying I have not paid even though they have taken the money fr

    Help! CC has been withdrawn by Adobe saying I have not paid even though they have taken the money from my account. Why?

    Thanks.  I do not think that the phone is stolen as I have been able to get it unlocked and surely the phone would be repoted stolen and blocked. What I do not ubderstand is that I thought icoud was just somewhere to back up your data instead of saving it to your computer if that is the case why is it stopping the actual hone from loading the previous owner rest it to factory settings before selling it but refused to get it unlocked. The phone would work with a Vodaphne sim as I understand it althought I did not try before i gave it to a shop to unlock. surely they would have knon before unlocking that there was a problem with icloud and that they woyld not be able to do it. The phone shop are insisting tgat I pay £40.00 for te unlck which they say is done or tey will not et me have the phone back does what they are saying seem right and is it reasonablefor them to expect me to ay for a dud phone??
