Why won't my Ipad 3 charge from my computer?

I can charge my Wifi IPad 3 from my outlet but it won't charge from my computer, does anyone know how to fix this?

Your computer probably doesn't provide sufficient current through the USB port to charge the iPad, or charges it only very slowly. Unless you can install a different USB card that provides more current, if any exist that would work in your system, there's nothing you can do other than use the AC adapter.
Regards.

Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.

If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty.

Why won't my iPad OS update from 5.1.1 to 7.0?

Why won't my iPad OS update from 5.1.1 to 7.0?

The iPad 1 can only run iOS up to 5.1.1. It can't be updated beyond that.

Why won't my iPad 2 charge above 50%?

I recieved my iPad 2 as a gift in October of 2011. Up until now I've had no problems. Yesterday I had depleted my battery to about 7%, so I plugged it in for at least 4 hours while I went for a walk. When I came back the gauge said only 50%. I used it again and ran it to about 15% and plugged it in overnight; this morning it still says only 50%. The icon is showing that the battery is charging, but it's still depleting as I use it. Tried shutting down and restarting; still losing battery. I even tried shutting down all my apps (except Safari so I can research this); same thing. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is nearly 300 miles away, thankfully I'll be heading in that direction soon if I can't resolve this on my own.

Are you using the wall charger?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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%.

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 won't my ipad 2 charge

I am having trouble with my iPad to be charged please can someone reply a good strategy that would help it ? I need it for school tomorrow

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.)
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.

Why won't all my tv shows from my computer show up on my ipad when I am in sharing mode?

I have turned on sharing on iTunes on my iMac and made sure that everything is sharable, but that it is protected by a password. On my iPad, I can access my iMac's library via the grey icon with the home/music note on it. When I view my tv shows, many of the shows are duplicated and even more are missing completely. On iTunes on my iMac, I have 42 tv shows that I should be seeing on my iPad. The iPad show 27 tv shows, 2 shows that are displayed aren't on my iMac to begin with, 2 shows are duplicated, 3 shows are triplicated, and 2 shows are quadruplicated. Why am I not able to access the other 15 shows from computer and why are shows creating themselves or replicating on my iPad? I tried restarting both my computer and iPad. I triple checked the iTunes/sharing settings on both devices and everything should be working just fine... Help!!

Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.

Why won't my iPad 2 charge with any other chargers when it's plugged in to the original 10w wall jack?

I lost the original usb cord that plugged in to the 10w wall jack and any other cord I use wont work. I've only found ONE charger that works with my iPad and it's my friends car charger for her iPhone which I can't use on a regular basis. I tried to call support but apparently I have to pay 30 dollars to talk to someone, so in hope of some resolution to my problem I am coming to the forums.
Thanks for anyone who can help

Why won't my ipad 2 charge on laptop when in dock

It says 'not charging' in the top right hand corner.
Can anyone help please?

Ipad requires high power USB port for battery charging and obviuosly your laptop USB is not. Although it shows not charging, it does charge but very slowly if you turn off the screen.
Please refer to Apple Support article:

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
There are some complaints, that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.
Have a nice day!

Phone won't charge from standalone chargers, will only charge from a computer.

This is a bit strange. My iPhone 4 (at&t) won't accept a change from any of my chargers (the one that came with it, the iPad charger, third-party chargers), it will only accept a charge from a computer. The same chargers work OK for other devices (iPhone 3G, iPod, iPad). This happened both in 4.x and 5 (I just upgraded, hoping to fix it).

Clean the iPhone Dock Port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if this helps. If not, clean again with the toothbrush and a small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol, clean especially the Pins which are on top of the Dock Mid Rib.
