I plug my 3rd gen iPad into a 10W charger and I get a 'not charging' message. Charges my kids' iPods just fine. Any ideas?

I got the "not charging" message quite a few time. I unplugged it and tried again.. Then it worked. Not well. But it worked.

I have an iPad 2nd Generation. It only charges when not in use and takes several hours (too many, imho). I'm not sure how many since I charge it overnight. When I use my iPad while it's charging, it continues to lose its charge, as if it's not plugged in.

The charge for an IPAD 3rd generation looks the same as for an iPhone/ipod 30 pin but I believe the wattage is a bit higher. I'm sure it can be found in a description

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 had to call the company and re order a charger bc ours stopped working and I tried the Apple charger from our iPhones and it wouldn't work. There is a slight difference in it. The company gave me no problem at all maybe if you contacted them they might have a suggestion for you or may have a longer one to mail you.

Wow, did nobody read the Product description? This is assuming that the company is being truthful and doesn't get into which version of the iPad you have ,although the Apple Charger is 10.5W (5V@2.1A) and this is normally the fastest rate that most Vendors will claim. Product Description:"Apple Port:iPad @ 2.4 Ampere Max. iPhone / iPod Touch @ 1 Ampere Max. " So, according to the company, if you are charging an iPad then YES it will get the full 2.4A at 5V (12W) if you want to charge an iPhone on this then NO it will only charge at 5W (5V@1A).

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.

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

It is normal, use an iPad charger box or a tablet charger box.Solar charging it doesn't always do the trick.So I prefer to use wall outlet,car charger or tablet charger.Tablet chargers do the trick.I worried for mines too.

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 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

First of all was this a new device or used when you purchased it? I've bought many iPads through Amazon and sometimes little things do slip through the cracks. The charger or charger cable is one easy to over look item. Both are inexpensive to replace from Amazon If I were you I would go ahead a purchase a "new charger and cable". Worse thing that could happen is you have an extra cable or charger. Speaking from experience, Apple products are usually very tough but, chargers can burn out and cables can kink or short out. Please let me know if this works. P.S. You'll know immediately if this was the problem. The iPad will make a loud ding indicating charging in progress and a lightning bolt or plug image will appear in the battery icon.

Mine won't charge anymore either. I think the product may be defective. How are you charging your device?

You are correct, my husband noticed his iPad wouldn't charge up when it was in one of the ports. I didn't notice when I ordered it, as I am not electrically savy.

Well, when I first got it, I used it for my 1st generation iPad and it worked fine for about a month. After I did the recent update on the iPad, the charger stopped working. It would start to charge, then it would stop as if the connection was bad. I started using a different after market brand and it worked fine. The seller has offered to send me a replacement and I am expecting it to arrive shortly. I was going to update my review after using the replacement.

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.

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam
