Why iPad does not charge battery when is connected to my laptop?

why ipad does not charge battery ehen is connected/sync to my laptop?

Because most USB ports do not put out enough power to meet the iPad's minimum requirements. An iPad is best charged plugged into the wall with the supplied charger.

  • My ipad does not charge

    I am living in Sri Lanka, I recently got down an ipad2 from abroad.
    My ipad does not charge either when i connect it to my laptop or when i connect it to a power outlet. I charge my ipod using the same cable too, so it aught to be working.
    i have seen here that ipad does not charge well when connected to laptops. But i cannot understand why it wont charge when connected to the power outlet. Sri lanka has 230V. should i use something else with my power adapter to convert the electricity.pls help.
    it is frustrating when things dont work as you want them to. Specially new things

    It's normal for your iPad to not charge when plugged into a USB. The usb simply does not put out enough power. Technically it does charge,just very slowly (as in takes hours and hours)
    Also your iPod charger won't work on your iPad. iPod/iPhone chargers put out 5W, the iPad wants 10W.
    Are you using the power brick that came with your iPad? If not, that's the best thing to use.
    The iPad power brick is rated for world power, so all it should need is a plug adapter.
    You can try swapping out different USB cords and plugins.

  • Ugent: DM4-1160us laptop not charging battery when battery completely drained

    Hi, all,
    I bought it last year and, a month later, I found it does not charge battery when the
    battery was completed drained. "completely drained" means when clicking on power on
    button, the charging light does not even flash. In such as case, if I plug in the power cord
    to charge the battery, the computer will stay in "charging, 0%) forever and the charging
    light stays amber and sometimes turns into white later.
    Computer can not power up without power cord plugged in. Battery dinostics said battery
    is bad and gave an error long error code. HP suppport replaced it with a new battery. But,
    I found later the same problem happened again.
    Note: the problem only happens when battery is completed drained meaning
    the charging light does not flash when trying to turn the computer on.
    I suspect the computer itself is defective. Anyone has idea?
    Thanks,
    SZ

    Power management software in Windows Vista
    Understanding battery charging issues
    If the notebook battery is not charging or the notebook does not indicate that the battery is charging, the most likely scenario is that the battery itself is operating correctly, but its power management software may have become corrupt. In order to correct the problem, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the power management software by using the Device Manager. This document will explain how to uninstall and reinstall the ACPI Battery listings in Windows Vista, as well as how to obtain and install updated BIOS files, if needed to correct other battery issues.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling power management software in Windows Vista
    In order to correct problems with the battery's power management software, follow the steps below.
    1. Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager .
    2. Expand the Batteries category.
    3. Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall .
    WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
    4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes .
    Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes .
    Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn't have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your battery's power. The notebook should now indicate that the battery is charging.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipad does not charge at all

    I need help.
    My Ipad does not charge at all
    I have put it on the wall and on the computer and it simply doesnt work
    Doe anyone know what I can do?

    Hello and welcome...
    Try a different USB port on your computer and try a different wall socket.
    If that doesn't help, probably a good idea to take it in for service. You can make an appointment ahead of time. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
    Hope this helps

    If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
    Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.

  • Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

    So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
    please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi Chernandez51,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
    What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.
     - Link to picture
    If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
    For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

  • HP Pavilion dv6500 does not charge battery

    Hi -
    When I plug the power cord into my laptop, the battery either does not charge, or charges on and off for about a second each time. 
    I am 100% sure it is not the power cord, because a light in port on the laptop lights up even when the battery is out, leading me to believe that power is definitely getting to the laptop, but something inside the laptop is disconnected or else the outlet where I plug the cord into the computer is bent or something. 
    I cannot turn on the computer with the battery out and the power cord plugged in.  It might turn on for a few seconds then turn off. 
    Taking out the battery and putting it back in does not help.
    Jostling the plug rarely helps, and the most that happens is the charging light flashes on and off.
    It is no longer under warranty (I have had the laptop for about 2 1/2 years).
    I heard from a friend that HP laptops sometimes have this problem.  Does anyone know how I can fix it???  I would rather not send it to HP for maintenance.  It would take waaay too long.  And I'm already mad that they (purposefully?) engineered the laptop so the fan is nearly impossible to get to, even though the fan clogging up is the first problem on any laptop.  It is my only computer and it is extremely important that I am able to use it for school.
    Any insight would be VERY helpful.  Thanks!

    I have the exatcly same problem. I am sure that it is neither battary or AC adapter as I have bought both new to fix this issue but problem remains same.
    It gives me a impression that within the laptop (mother board or power connector) has the issues which does not give the power to the laptop to work , nor it gives to battary to charge.
    Let me mention that when I bought a new battary, my laptop worked for 4-5 hours till the charge ran out from the battary and now again I am landed up to the same problem.
    any body who has come across this problem and got it fixed , it will be really great if you can share your experience.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 12 volt plug charger does not charge battery

    the green light on computer connector is on, the computer shows the icon that is connected to external power, but the battery dies. It works fine on wall outlet. This was first time I used plug. All seems fine but it does not charge the battery.
    Apple is good at selling computers, but I just spent over an hour to get an answer for this and this is the best i found so far. We is the product support?
    Please, someone helps.

    Apple does not make a 12 V power adapter (i.e. car power adapter) for the MBP. What type of power adapter are you using?
    If you are using the MagSafe Airline Adapter, which comes with the larger 'cigarette-lighter-style" adapter that +looks like+ it will work in a car power port, be aware that the MagSafe Airline Adapter _does not_ work for 12 V power from an auto - it explicitly states that in the product description.
    If you are using an inverter, what are the power specifications for the inverter? Can it deliver the 85 W of power the MBP power adapter requires?

  • Ipad does not charge on being connected to a computer or itunes. please help

    On connecting to the computer, ipad is not charging. it syncs with itunes and gets updated but just wont charge on being connected to a computer ( I am using a windows Pc). Please help. However i have an iphone that charges perfectly with the same comp and the same itunes.
    any suggestions are welcome

    The iPad requires more power than the iPhone to charge it (it's wall charger is 10W as opposed to the iPhone's 5W), and a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad

  • HT201412 Why my ipad does not permit centurylink router to connect to wi-fi

    i have a ipad2 and been trying to connect to a centurylink router and it does not permit me to get connected does somebodty know why

    You have got some help in the interim. It took it from your original post that the service point tried recovery mode with a view to restore and since that failed I suggested the battery charging aspect. It could have could have bearing on the success of the recovery/restore.
    Here is my standard reply for devices not recognised in iTunes. Try those aspects not already done and if necessary try the restore yourself in accordance with th guidance given in the links-
    It is assumed/inferred that iTunes is opening up OK. (It will not open automatically upon connecting your device to your computer if your preferences have been set to prevent it syncing automatically upon such action!)
    1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
    4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
    7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

  • HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

    Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
    When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
    Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
    Thanks,

    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

    my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.
