Why dosent it charge wen connected to laptop
why dosent it charge wen connected to laptop
If the main power cable is not plugged into the laptop, the ipad will charge slower.
If on the laptop your using a lower power setting then "High performance", the ipad will charge slower.
If the ipad is plugged into the laptop and the laptop is in sleep, hibernate or the lid is closed, the ipad will charge slower.
For the fastest charge to the ipad from a laptop, leave the laptop plugged in and using the power setting of "high performance" and turn off or do not use the ipad alot while its charging.
If the laptop is turned off but the ipad is plugged into the laptop, it will not charge. The laptop needs to be on. (iphone, ipod are the same also)

Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet
ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet
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

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.

Iphone 3 not charging or connecting to laptop
Hi, my mate has brought his iphone 3G to me to see if i could assist with problem.
when the phone is plugged into the mains on charge the apple symbol apperas and is there for some time before anything happens.
It then dissapears and when you press the home button on the front it says ios 6 and slide bar saying set up.
The top of the page is saying searching and there is battery symbol.
upon sliding thebar it requests connect to apple i tunes. upon removal from charger everything instantly goes off and upon connection to laptop via lead nothing ever happens. after a while the apple symbol flashes slowly but this is the end of things.
the laptop/itunes donot reconise that phone is plugged in.
Does anyone have any answers for a fix or is the phone finished????
The phone was working as normal before any problems, he took it into store and they said liquid corrosion which is not right.Charge the iPhone to a wall outlet.
Try a different USB cable.
Try different USB ports. -
My ipad wont charged when connected to laptop. HELP?!!!
my ipad wont charged when connected to my laptop. Anyone know how to fix that. thanks, much appreciated
Also, just noticed this now....i have it connected and its got no battery. It will shut off like it died (while connected to the laptop) and then after a few minuted it will turn on. with the battery icon saying "not charging"Chances are your USB port is charging but only when the screen is off. This is e behaviour i get from our pcs.
Make a note of the battery level, plug it in and make sure the screen is off, after and hour check the battery level.
It should have charged a bit but very, VERY slowly.
Your computer port normally only delivers 500mha of power. Some modern macs deliver 1100mha. Anything less than 1000mha wont charge with the screen in.
The iPhone charge delivers 1000mha and the iPad charger delivers 2100mha.
So it not charging via the computer is normal. -
AT300SE doesn't charge if connected to Laptop USB port ?!!
Dear All,
I've just purchased Toshiba Excite AT300SE, it charges normally when connected to Power Outlet, but when I connect it to my Laptop USB port it doesn't charge, is that normal or I miss something ??
Thanks in advanceThe AT300SE will "trickle" charge if it is connected to a powered USB port. Many laptops do not put out enough power via their USBs to charge.

My iphone 3gs switched of while i had it on charge i didn realise untill i went too use my phone and it was boiling hot when i picked it up, it will not switch back on, charge or connect to laptop or dcu mode .. any ideas on what to do with it other then back to belfast .. all tips welcome ...
Unplug it, let it cool down and try to reset it 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.

Why is it that my ipad 3rd gen does not charge while connected to my laptop
my ipad 3rd gen will not charge while connected to my laptop, just beside the battery meter it states not charging.
Beacause the USB port of most computers don't supply sufficient current to properly charge it. It is best to charge it using the supplied power supply.

ipod 5th generation will not turn on, charge, or connect to macbook laptop. i was using it for music then all of a sudden the screen went black and was unresponsive. i have tried using other cords. also my home button is broken. someone please help!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1476 iPhone charges on dock connected to laptop but not dock connected to wall charger
I used to charge my iPhone at night connected to a wall charger. Sometimes I would get an inverted yellow triangle with the message that the device di not support charging, but it would still charge. Now for some reason it gives the message and really won't charge. I have bought a dock to see if it was the wall charger but although the dock works fine when connected by usb to the laptop, I still can't charge when connected to the wall charger. It is an intermittent problem so I don't think it has anything to do with a dirty connector.
Just to let everyone know, I bought an apple plug and that has solved the problem. Not only does it charge without query but it's twice as fast.

i cant connect my iphone to laptop. its nither charging nor connecting usb cable is okay .... can any one help ?? pls...
BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect. -
Wont charge or connect to my laptop
my ipad wont charge or connect to my itunes on my laptop please help
The best way to charge the iPad is via the wall plg - most computers, especially older ones, do not provide enough power to their USB ports in order to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate (it may still be charging but slowly; it will probably be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off).
In terms of connecting to your computer's iTunes, then there is troubleshooting help here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -
Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple storeI have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

Ipad not getting charged while connected to the laptop
ipad not getting charged while connected to the laptop.
It's no different from the iPad 1 in that regard. When connected to a computer via USB it should charge when sleeping only. Hit the sleep button and leave it for a while to see if that works. It's much slower charging that way than using the actual charger.
Not all USB's are powered, or powered enough, so what the previous poster said could also be the case.
