Why wont ipad charge how can u tell if it needs to be changed

how to tell if my ipad battery needs to be replaced it wont charge

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. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • How can I tell which machines need a given patch?

    So when I run WSUS and view the Updates Report I can type in the specific patch I'm working on (MS14-066) and it tells XX computers have it, YY computers need it, etc.
    How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up?  Is there an easy way to do that?
    Thanks.

    How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up?
    Run the Detailed View version of the report. There will be one (or more) pages for each update. The detailed pages list each computer, the approval status, and installation state.
    However, the conventional way to address this question is to create target groups based on some classification of how you would approve updates (e.g. Desktops, Win2008R2, .NET4) and approve the updates for the *groups* of computers that should install the
    updates.

  • How can I tell if I need a Dual-Band Wi-Fi Dongle ...

    Hi
    I've just placed an order for BT Infinity 1 and have been advised I will be receiving the new BT Home Hub 5.
    Can someone explain if it would be advantageous for me to order a Dual-Band Wi-Fi Dongle 600 or not?
    How can I check if my laptops - Dell Studio 1749 and HP ENVY dv6 - can already handle dual band connections, if that is what we are talking about here?
    Any advice / help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To be honest, you are unlikely to see any speed improvement by adding a wifi dongle, also the 5GHz band has very limited range.
    I would wait until everything is working, before ordering any more stuff.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Need to order recovery disks, how can I tell if I need 32 or 64 bit without an OS?

    I'm trying to repair someones laptop.  It's a g60 and they dont have recovery disks.  The hard drive has crashed so I can't use windows to find out if i need a 32 or 64 bit version.  HP's website can't determine this by model number, serial or anything and is asking me what version i need when i try to order recovery disks.  It tells me I should use windows to figure this out.  (why would I need to order recovery disks, if windows was still working?????)  Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • How can you tell if you need to just replace the glass on an ipod 4g or the glass and the LCD screen?

    i just broke my ipod touch 4g about a month ago and i think it is just the glass but i am not sure. It cracked and the glass started falling out of the top right corner and today, the white part started cracking. is this just part of the glass or is it part of the LCD screen? I want to figure this out because i dont want to order a repair kit with an LCD screen if i dont have to. thanks in advanced

    On the 4G the outer glass and the LCD screen is one bonded unit.

  • How can I tell when the IP address was changed on my HP Laserjet 2055dn printer?

    I have an HP2055DN printer that someone changed the IP address on. It is connected to a print server ( Windows 2003 server ) on our network.  I have not found an entry in the logs of the printer or in the event logs on the Print Server.  Does anyone know where to look or what event id or message I would be looking for?
    Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks

    Since this is a 2 line display model, you should be able to go to the control panel of the printer and print a config page.
    Control panel - right arrow - reports - config page.
    The IP address should be in the left hand column on the config page.

  • How can I tell if I need a firmware upgrade?--G5 iSight iMac

    Machine Name: iMac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac12,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 2.1 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 700 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.6f1
    I am going to upgrade from X.4.11 to Leopard and want to do all the approp maintenance beforehand (running Disk First Aid from my Tiger install disk,updating permissions,etc)
    Apple makes it very easy to update software via Software Update but I ended up with confusion aplenty when I did a search on Support: downloads for G5 firmware updates.
    TIA
    Caroline

    As far as I know, there are no firmware updates for your iMac. Remember to disconnect all peripherals other than your keyboard and mouse before upgrading, and to be safe, make a clone of your system to an external firewire drive (I use SuperDuper!).
    Repair permissions after the upgrade as well.
    Good luck and have fun with Leopard.

  • How can I tell if any table data has changed?

    HI
    I'm in the process of reverse engineering an application. We don't have the source code, so I've been looking to the Oracle 8 database to give me some clues as to what insert, update, delete operations are being performed.
    Is there any SQL I could run which would indicate the table data has been changed in some way.
    Thanks
    Glenn

    What's the application architecture? Is this a client/server application? Or a three-tier application? Is there a lot of PL/SQL? Or is all the SQL getting generated in the application and sent to the database? Depending on the architecture, a SQL*Net trace on the client may be appropriate-- that will log the SQL the client app is sending to the server. If you have a three-tier app, though, it may be hard to relate the SQL to a particular operation or to relate the SQL statements to each other. If you have a lot of stored procedures, you'd only see the procedure call, not the SQL the procedure executes.
    You could trace a particular database session, which has similar issues in a three-tier environment or if MTS (the precursor to shared server) is in use, but does capture SQL issued by stored procedures. That may put a degree of load on the database server as well.
    You could also query the data dictionary (i.e. V$SQL) periodically to see the SQL statements in the shared pool. You have to ensure that you're polling frequently enough to catch SQL statements before they age out of the shared pool and you won't generally be able to relate one statement to another or to a particular application function. But you could see all the SQL the database is executing.

    How can I tell if my Ipad is about to overcharge?  I can I avoid overcharging it? Thanks!

    There are no modern day consumer electronics that you can overcharge... they all have protection for this, i.e. they stop charging when full.  This may not be completely true for some really cheap Chinese knock-offs.
