Has anyone had success using this hub to charge an ipad?

According to Apple, iPads (as opposed to iPhones and iPod touches) are not designed to get enough power from a PC's USB port and should only be charged using the iPad's AC adapter in a wall outlet. This is Apple's design. You're unlikely to find a USB hub that will circumvent this limitation.

I just tried it, and couldn't get it to work. The iPad didn't recognize that it was plugged in until I plugged the hub into my computer. Then it woke up and said, "Not Charging". I guess the hub doesn't deliver enough current. I was kind of surprised, since it powers my raspberry pi just fine.

Yes, it will charger an iPad. It is a quality product and should last a long time. I've had 0 issues with this power supply.

I use the amazon wall outlet with 2 usb connections. It works just fine with that and i can charge my phone as well. It doesnt however charge both ipad and any other electronic. Ipad can only be charged solo

Not one port charges my iPad. I believe the 2.5A is the power into the Hub and it distributes that power to each port.

Yes you could use it to charge an iPad but the USB port would have to put out 2.1 amps in order to charge the iPad properly.

No, but you could use an 30 pin adapter with a usb to just use for charging. It would be a slow charge because of the lower charge output(iPad requires more). My advice is stay clear of this piece of junk.

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

I don't have an iPad, but this charger only puts out 1 Amp - so it may not charge an iPAD if it requires 2 amps. Also, since it does not claim to be iPad compatible -- something it would surely tout since Apple requires components in the hardware, I think. So my answer is - I think it does NOT work with iPad.

I've never charged an ipad but I have charged my phone and nexus tablet. It is a powered usb device so it shouldn't have a problem charging anything.

I use it to charge and use my iPad and it works fine. It seems to be at least as fast at charging as it is when using a usb port on a computer.

Anything that will take a USB plug seems to work - I use it with what is normally an iPad charger. It would probably even charge up off a usb port on a computer eventually.

I have not been able to get this to charge my iPad. I returned it to Amazon

I don't know exactly how many amps does the USB put out, but I have charged my bluetooth earphone many times without problems. As actual chargers use standard 5V USB ports, including Apple's and my earphone's, I think it will charge your iPad as Well.

It charges my ipad2 and I had. Similar issue with my iPad on other plug in units.

I've got them all over the house and I haven't found a USB device they won't charge yet. I can tell you they successfully charge various smartphones, wireless speakers as well as the larger iPad that requires 2 amp power bricks.On a side note, we had an electrician over for something unrelated and he loved them. He said it's the best USB wall plug he's used yet.

I was not successful with that . I got a message that it was not an authorized charger and it would overheat. I didnt continue because i was afraid of ruining my ipad

I'd like to know if the USB port will charge an IN-USE iPad as well. I'd like to to not have to carry the 10 W adapter with me all the time.
