Why does the iPad mini not charge with this receptacle but the iPhone 4 and iPad (first gen) are ok?

Your iPad mini has higher charging reqirements. There's an article from MacWorld explaining this http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html (you may to copy the link). Or try searching for macworld article 1150356.

Rebecca, the Mini will charge just fine. This outlet provides 2.1A at 5V which is what the Apple tablets need. Electrically, there is nothing magic about it.

I don't have iPad mini, but I have iPad 3. It can be charged on the right side usb plug. The two usb plugs have different Amps, the right one has high amp and can charge iPads.

Can't answer specifically about a mini. It works with an ipad air2, an iphone 6, and an iphone 4s using the appropriate cords. It will charge two devices at the same time, although the charge times seems longer than with a dedicated apple wall block. I charge overnight so charge time is not an issue or has been monitored closely.

Hey Angela, yes it charges the 1st and 2nd Generation of iPads, but obviously not the new iPads.

I haven't tried an Ipad but it wouldn't charge my Iphone 4. It just constantly connected and then disconnected. Used more power doing that than it ever put in.

It will charge the iPhone 5 series phone. I have no personal experience with an iPad mini but it's just a battery. You can plug into it. The question is the current draw versus the battery stored energy.

If you plug in iPad into most USB ports, it will display as "not charging". Most USB ports do not put out enough power to charge an iPad quickly, although it is trickle charging. Or are you getting the not charging notification using the wall charger?

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

Well, I have charged my ipad with it several times since I got it and have had no trouble at all. I got one for my mother and she uses it all the time with no problems. I have used it with my iphone 4 as well. Not sure what the difference is supposed to be.

it won't charge it fully, ipad3 gets around a 90% charge so ipad4 i assume will be lower.

It works with my Ipod touch 4 gen and it does charge my ipod. Your ipad, if it the new one with small plug no. if older Ipad has same plug at bottom like ipod 4 gen yes it will charge the unit.

Darla: I have the ipad mini and if the ipad air has the same charging pin, the myCharge 3000 does not have a cord to fit. Hopefully, we'll be able to find an adapter to go from the wide Apple adapter to the new small one.

I have a 1st Gen Ipad and have charged it via USB port while in the car and worked just fine. I cannot say if it will be compatible with the Iphone because I don't use an Iphone.

I tried to charge a iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini and it fried the charger out. Mine could of been faulty and it may not be a common problem.

I have no problem charging, using the original charging unit. I discovered that some other units do not work properly, but that may be more of an iPad issue than of mophie. Try another charger with sufficient power. An apple usb charger for ipad works for me.

I have an iPod Mini and it doesn't like th Belkin cable, but my iPhone likes the Belkin cable just fine. I use an Apple cable + the Belkincable and it charges both at the same time.

The newer iPad4 and mini iPad use a lightning 30 pin connector (narrow connector) with USB connector for charging. Check the iPad1 to determine if it accepts a standard 30 pin connector with USB connector. If it does, then the Belkin F8Z414ttp AC with standard 30 pin connector should work with the iPad1. Check the following apple site to see 3 accessory types of cables offered by Apple. The middle cable in the picture is the standard cable and cable on the right is lightning cable.

I have a first-gen iPad, and 99/100 times, it won't charge it from my laptop. My oldest has an iPad mini and charges it from a wall outlet with no problems, so unfortunately, my best answer is YMMV.
