iPad – Not Charging

To charge your device, follow these steps:

  1. Connect your device to the USB cable that comes with it.  For a third-party accessory, check that it’s Apple certified.
  2. Plug into one of these three power sources:

  • Wall power outlet

 Plug your USB charging cable into a USB power adapter, then plug the adapter into the wall.

  • Computer

 Plug your charging cable into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on a computer that’s on and not in sleep mode. Don’t use the USB ports on your keyboard.

  • Power accessory

 Plug your cable into a powered USB hub, docking station, or other Apple-certified accessory.

If an alert says that your accessory isn’t supported or certified

These alerts can appear for a few reasons:

  • Your iPad might have a dirty or damaged charging port
  • Your iPad needs more power from your power adapter or other power source
  • Your charging accessory is defective, damaged, or not certified by Apple
  • Your USB charger isn’t designed to charge iPad
