If you take it to an Apple Store for evaluation, you need to....

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.
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.

  • My iPhone is asking for software update and a password, but there is no update. How much will it cost to reset the software through the Apple Store?

    The phone's software may need to be updated. Is there a cost to have Apple reset the software?

    Where did you hear that? Genius Bar visits at an Apple store are free, and any software repairs they do are free, unless the phone is jailbroken; then they won't touch it. But they still won't charge you.
    I think it more likely the "update" is actually a phishing attack against you. Unless your phone is jailbroken; then your phone and your security is in big trouble.

    Dear Sir or Madame,

  • Iphone 5 Battery efficiency is bad.....What will be the cost of replacing a battery in the apple store..??

    what will be the cost of replacing a battery in the apple store..??

    Apple has a battery replacement program for some devices sold between Dec 12 and Jan 13.
    Check your device if it's eligible for this program or not https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/other_countries.html
    Besides, go to any App Store and ask them to run ADR test for your device and will see the battery life. If it seems fail or consumed then you should replace the battery. If seems pass, then restore your device if you think battery drains too fast.
    see the pricing Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    choose the country from list and will see the all info upon service costs

  • I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

    I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features

  • Will 'Erase All Content and Settings' remove Apple ID from my iPad 2?

    Hi all.
    I've read that Erase All brings the iPad back to how it was when it left the shop. But I need to comfirm something 'cos here's the situation:
    1. I just sold my mum's iPad to a third party shop. All done, or so I thought.
    2. I get a text asking for my Apple password so they can format the iPad.
    3. I reply that it's not needed for Reset All/Erase All. (NOTE: No Passcode was set on iPad)
    4. I get a text today saying: "But we need to change the app store. Otherwise if any other person buy it they cannot create new account. Maybe you can come and type it. After that we can reset in front of you."
    Does the shop really need my password? I was under the impression that Erase All would do a factory reset and clear my Apple ID from the IPad too. Then the next person just sets up their own ID.
    By the way, this is not a shop I really trust which is why I'm being so cautious. Also, I don't fancy going all the way there again.
    Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long ramble

  • HT1386 I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME

    I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME!

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

    My iPad is not charging when I pluged in and its keep turning off and on (it just shows the apple logo). I even changed the charger so what else can I do to start my iPad?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store has no idea how to find out what is in it let alone how to clear it so I can upgrade to iOS 7. He thinks my iPad is not really deleting things but storing it here.

    My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store is aware of the problem but has no idea how to view it's content or how to empty it. He thinks my deleted files are going here instead of being deleted. Raw beginner here! Need help.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store?

    In case we need to create free issues or even apps for iPad (from a non-profit organization), what will the incurred costs be through the whole process?
    i.e. From the time of development of issues and the app in which the issues may work - is there any registration or license fees involved, till it reaches all customers - provided the package is for free?
    Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store for iOS apps for iPad?

    You must pay the USD$99 fee to join the Individual Developer Program.
    After that, there is no fee to put free apps into the iOS App Store.

  • Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

    Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
    I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
    so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
    I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.  You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
    If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

    My iPad mini keeps turning itself off and then the apple logo keeps flashing constantly, i have charged it fully and restored it many times. what can i do?

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.
