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 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.

  • 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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Got big problem with my iphone , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

    got big problem with my iphone4 , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

    How do you know its charging very very slowly? Is the screen back on?
    Once a month you should charge your phone to 100% then drain it, then charge it back up to 100%.
    Just leave the phone in and do what is said above.
    How long do you think it will take to charge to 100%?

  • Ipad2 charging very slowly and drains the battery very quickly

  • Why doesnt the Ipad charge on the computer?

    Why?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Likely, your computer does not have the required high-power USB port.
    For more details, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
    and this included reference to 'high power' (defined as more than 500 milliamps output) USB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US
    Confirming what the other poster says, my older MacBook, lacking high-power USB, does charge the iPad 2 when connected despite the message, although at a very very slow rate. I've noticed that the iPad charge increases a by percent or two when connected for an hour or more.

  • When I select Mail, Contacts, Calendars in settings the ipad will lock up and not display setting options.

    When I noticed my mail not being delivered to my IPad I wanted to check the settings and make sure there wasn't an issue.  When I click on the settings option nothing will display on the right side and the Settings screen will lock up.  I can restore the IPad to original settings and this will fix the issue, but I need to restore all my apps to this IPad.  Any suggestions of how I can delete the mail settings and set them back up?

    Try a simple Reset - hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for 15 seconds - and try again!

  • IPad Air charging VERY slowly, sometimes "not charging" entirely.

    I'm using the charger that came with the new iPad Air in a wall outlet, but it charges incredibly slowly. We're talking like 10% charge in about an hour's time. Sometimes, even with the same set up, it says "not charging" all together. I think it charges even slower when doing it through my MacBook Air. Is anyone else having this issue with their new iPad Air charging slowly?

    Same issue here. At least 4 hours on the charger and only 50%. Pretty **** annoying really. I love the new Apple stuff, but every time I upgrade to a new phone, laptop or iPad I end up having to take it into the Genius bar and get it replaced. Is it too difficult to conduct more thorough testing or at least get something right.
    Going to tough it out for another week before I make the long journey to the Apple store to wait in a line.
    It seems the online support doesn't accept my serial number as it is 'yet to be a supported device'....well done Apple, outdoing yourselves as always

  • My ipad charging very slowly, even decreasing while charging even im not touching it? please help

    i have ipad 2nd generation , 32gb, wifi+3g, just recently update to latest ios 7..
    Yesterday (july 6th) was doing fine with everything. suddenly the night (july 6th) i left my ipad on charge at 11pm at 10% remains, then wake up next day at 4 am (july 7th), and check my ipad battey level is only 29%!
    i was confused, i reset by holding home+lock button so many times, and it doesnt work at all.. then i turned off my ipad and left my ipad on charge at 29% battery remains in hope something magical will happened.. then i go to sleep again (5 am), on 7 am i wake up again and find my ipad battery remains 26%! what is happening here??
    what im asking is, what is happening? when i plug the cable it shows that its charging but no increase at all, even decreasing
    what should i do then? what is wrong with my ipad? is it the cable, the adaptor, or ipad?
    please anyone can help me?

    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.

  • HT4060 Does the Ipad charge with 110 and 220 volts

    Can I use both 220V and 110V to charge the Ipad 2, I am in Europe, and need to charge my Ipad, will it charge using 220 which is what is available in Europe?
    Thanks

    Thanks,
    Another question I have is. I have a DELL ELitebook 8530W and when I try to charge my IPAD with the USB Port, it does not charge which I read in the help section that it because it is not a strong enough USB Port. I would think this laptop would have a strong enough USB port.
    Any Suggestions!

    Hello Tollykev,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you have some audio issues with your iPad after the iOS 7 update.
    I want to recommend the following troubleshooting from the article named:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • When the next iPad comes out, (the iPad 4), will the iPad 2 be discontinued and not be compatable with future iOS versions?

    I will not be buying a new iPad just because it was just discontinued.

    <Opinion>Look at the iPod Touch family as a guide, that's probably the best model to look to for how this will probably go down. Probably 2 or 3 generations back will be okay if a new generation comes out, so following that logic the iPad 1 would likely stop receiving major iOS updates. But hey, nobody but Apple knows. I would suggest not worrying about it and getting what you can afford, they all become obsolete eventually.</Opinion>
