Milo Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Went to put the iPad (3) on charge this morning and it won't charge. Tried shutting it down and restarting it but same problem, it just says not charging. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 How are you charging it? What is it plugged into? Try a hardware reset - hold down the home & power buttons until it goes off, then release both. When my iPad(s) are plugged into my laptop they say not charging - they do charge though, just slowly.

Booster Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Our ipad 3 came with a slightly different shaped charger to our iphones. I find that if I use an iphone charger to charge the ipad it either doesn't charge or charges very slowly. Are you using an iphone charger or an ipad charger?

Milo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 It was via the mains charger, I was in a rush to get away this morning so didn't try it via USB. Tried 2 chargers, both charged iPhones, neither charged the iPad. Won't be home until into tomorrow night so will try the reset then. The only thing I can think I did on it yesterday was the iOS update (to 6.2 or something?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well, for whatever reason this seems to have resolved itself. I put the ipad on charge last night and it was fine. Electricity gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 are you sure you'd switched on the plug at the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
