IThe iPad needs more power than the average USB device. It doesn't run and charge at the same time on a regular USB port. If it doesn't charge with the original charger though, you have a hardware issue. You can always take it to the apple store and demonstrate the problem there, you'll probably receive a replacement. If you have issues with the warranty, there are third party places that will find our what's wrong. If you want to do it yourself, the good news is, it's not too hard to open it. Here is an iPad Repair Guide that shows how to open an iPad. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to iPad Repair NYC.

Ipad air plug in will not charge. turn off the ipad and plug in ipad turns on but doesn't charge?

Apple support suggests several possibilities. The iPad may not be receiving sufficient power to charge it; some lower powered charging devices are lacking. The charger may not be Apple certified (as being adequate). Test an alternative charger. Or, the port may be dirty or damaged. Remove debris. Try another USB cable. Restart the device. Also, determine whether or not you have the latest ios operating system. If it still does not charge, contact Apple support for service.

My apple ipad is not reponding when iam charging it how do i reset it

Hello,

If you charge your iPad on a power adapter, the iPad should respond while charging, except if your iPad battery is so low the apps need more power to run.

If you charge your iPad on the USB port of your computer, it is normal you cannot use your apps as the iPad is not only in battery charging mode but also in synchronizing mode with iTunes in the computer. You should lose the habit to charge the iPad on the PC and use a dedicated power adapter instead, as dedicated power adapters charge the iPad battery 2 to 4 times faster than the USB port of most computers.
USB port power: 2.5 Watts in general (5 volt x 0.5 A = 2.5 Watts)
iPhone charger: 5 watts
iPad charger: 10 or 12 watts

My Apple iPad 4th Generation will not charge when plugged in. What should I do?

My ipad has done this twice. Both times it has been due to the battery going totally dead and a bad charger cord. Take it to a radio shack or to someone and have them to use one of there chargers wait a few mins. See if it begins to show any signs of taking a charge at all. It may take 20 mins. or so. If it doesnt then you will more than likely have to replace the battery inside the ipad. There have been some ipad batteries that havent lasted very long. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

WILL APPLE FIX MY IPAD AIR IF IT DOESNT CHARGE FOR FREE

Apple only fixes it's products for free during guarantee period (mostly 1 year, 2 years with Apple Care Protection Plan), but before you send it to Apple check your charger, you need at least a current of 2Amps. If this is ok, check if the charger can charge other devices. If yes, go to a store selling iPads and check if you can charge your iPad with the charger of one of the sample products.

My iPad will not turn on, and will not show any sign when charging

Go to the nearest Apple store and get a repair. That's the only thing that will work. I had the same problem once with my iPod.
