You need more power to charge a mini since it's bigger than your iPhone/iPad. The USB port is a 2.0 port, which charges very slowly (even with your iPad/iPhone). The more expensive USB ports with a higher number will charge things more quickly.

Try plugging into the very first USB post nearest connection, if still won't charge then indicates that your iPad's fire-wire require direct plug into power source, if using thru the secondary USB won't charge.

The Satechi 4 Port Aluminum hub will not charge an iPad (it will only sync). You may consider exchanging for the Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub (9 Port USB 3.0 + 1 iPad Charging Port) 5 Volt, 5 Amp which can charge an iPad. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

Not sure, it may be because the New iPad Mini's lightning connector more up to date and the Satechi charger can't recognize it. Especially if it possibly has something to do with USB 3.0 or not.

I don't know - mine does not blink. However - have you tried unplugging and replugging in? Do you have the ipad plugged into the ipad and not iphone spot? Just thoughts. I had a previous charger like this one which would blink if I plugged my Ipad into the spot for the phone. Otherwise I would try a different outlet. And if none of that works, return it if you can.

We do not have the retina display iPad mini and it works just fine. I believe we have the first generation as well.

I have an Ipod and IPhone 5c. It will charge the Ipod but not the IPhone 5c.

I just received two of these which I am returning. One will charge my iPod Touch 4th gen. But the other one gives the "charging not supported" error. Neither will charge an iPad. Too flaky to depend on. Both will charge my 60GB iPod Vodeo but that is a dinosaur that will soon be extinct.

Does it power the device--so your mini operates? If so and it doesn't charge I would guess you have a bad battery.If it doesn't even power the device so that it turns on I would think the power supply itself is defective

I don't know power the output, but I do know that an iPad Mini will NOT charge when it's plugged into the Dock

sorry i don't know for sure, but i doubt it. it charges my iphone 4 but not my ipad mini. i suspect that makes it the wrong size connector for an ipad 3 (it's definitely the wrong size for an iphone 5).

Based on my experience, not really. After charging two phones together (Samsung Galaxy 4 and iPhone 5) it never worked right after that. When I tried to charge my iPad Mini 4 th gen, the Mini kept telling me "Not Charging".

It kinda does and doesn't- each port has unique amps to power stuff - there is a label on the side. So an iPad needs more juice than an iPhone - I also have a Nokia that requires the higher amps to charge.

I had one that did not work. The iPad and an iPhone did not register that charging was taking place. I threw mine away.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I do not currently own an iPad Mini so I can't confirm but I know that it does have the charging feature for Apple devices. I have been able to charge my Android phone as well as Apple iPod at the same time. I hope this answers your question.

It's probably defective. As long as you have a 2A charger (same as Samsung Galaxy or iPad, bigger than iPhone) it will charge and show you lights as it's charging. I had 1 that worked great, and another I had to return. Also, Raymond is right that you need to use the micro USB port to charge.

Possibly, however my experience with the charger was bad. I would plug my iPhone 4s in over night and in the morning it only charged about 7%. That's just a phone, so it might be even worse with an iPad.

Suck it up and buy Apple. A 6 foot will charge iphone but you'll still get error message. iPad not at all. Blame ios7
