Most likely, your problem is just the same with the other people’s concern. Well I hope this troubleshooting techniques and tips could help you in some ways. First is, maybe you have an older version of computer at home, because only the newer versions of computer could charge your iPad, just like the Apple iMac. But with Apple’s help pages, it shows that you can also charge your iPad with your old computer provided that it has a lower current USB ports and if your iPad is on its sleep mode. Another way is if your using Y-cable. It has two USB connectors which doubles the current output coming from the computer. Each of the ports gives an output of 500 mA, meaning if it’s twice the output current you will have a double power output delivered to your iPad which is about a 1000mA, 5 watts. That is enough to charge your iPad. If you don’t have any available Y-Cable ports at home, it is always available in the market for just abut $13. These two troubleshooting tips and techniques are just the two best ways to fix your problem. I hope you could find a solution to your concern.

More about troubleshooting, make sure that your iPad is properly plugged and make sure that your iPad is plugged into your computer power point instead of connecting it on your computers’ USB port. It is the quickest way to charge your iPad. And take note that your iPad must be on its sleep mode. This will shorten your charging time and can also avoid other problems on your iPad. Do not just take steps on fixing your problems regarding your iPad immediately if you’re not really sure with it. Always double check so small problems wouldn’t become bigger anymore.
