The USB port of a Computer may not provided the same amount of charging current as your wall charger. Do you have other power hungry devices connected to the computer? It may help to get a USB hub with external powersupply. If all else fails the iPad doesn't charge on any USB port, you may actually 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 i pad will not charge

As soon as you connect your iPad to a working charger, it will beep. If you plug in the cable and you don't hear the beep, assume something is wrong. Just find out what, the cable or the charger.
Don't try to charge the iPad with a computer, because the 500 mA a USB connector from a computer can give, is not enough even to start.
But you can use a computer to test the cable, because the iPad should beep and say on the screen not charging.
If there is no beep when connecting to a computer, you have to use another cable. If it beeps, buy a new charger. 5 Volt 2 A. The best an Apple charger.

How do I make the new iPad's battery recharge faster?

There are many things you might be doing wrong but slow battery charge is a problem with the new iPad. The battery is actually a lot bigger than the iPad 2 which means it is going to take you much longer to charge.
Use the provided charger and don't charge from your computer. It is almost twice as slow to do it plugged into a computer. Charge it at night to give it the most time to charge as possible. I usually turn it off so programs don't run and slow down the charging speed. Every little bit helps.
I can help you with other things too if you ask.
