But some newer Macs and PCs do have some high-power charging ports that can charge an iPad. Unless you know the complete technical specs on every USB port in your machine, finding out which port can charge an iPad is largely a matter of trial and error.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it could be a hardware issue, and there are some strategies that can help.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Can_Do_About_It\"><\/span>What You Can Do About It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you plug an iPad into a USB port on a computer and see the \u201cNot Charging\u201d message, there are a handful of things you could try. Here\u2019s a rundown of the most promising options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try a Different USB Port:<\/strong> It\u2019s common that different USB ports on a PC or Mac will output different amounts of power. Try plugging the iPad charging cable into a different port and see if that works. Also, the USB ports built into keyboards are almost always not powerful enough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try USB Ports on a Different Computer:<\/strong> Some newer Macs and PCs might have high-power USB ports that can charge an iPad at a reasonable rate. It won\u2019t be as fast as an iPad wall charger, but it might work in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a Different Charging Cable:<\/strong> Sometimes the Lightning cable you use to charge an iPad can become damaged or frayed in a way that can prevent it from charging properly. Buy a new Lightning or USB-C charging cable (whichever your model of iPad needs) or try another one you have on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean Your iPad\u2019s Charging Port:<\/strong> Sometimes lint or dust can get trapped in your iPad\u2019s Lightning port, creating resistance that might interfere with charging. To fix this problem, completely power off the iPad and gently insert a wooden toothpick into the Lightning port to pull out lint. Don\u2019t do this too aggressively because you could damage the pins inside the connector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn Off the Screen and Trickle Charge:<\/strong> Depending on the iPad model, you might be able to put your iPad in sleep mode (push the power button once) and slowly trickle-charge the iPad over a long period of time. Newer iPads need more power than older models to charge properly, so this might only work for older iPads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ultimately, the best option is to charge your iPad using a USB adapter that plugs into an AC wall outlet. Look for one that outputs at least 2 amps (2000 mA). For newer iPads, a 3 amp charger is ideal. For example, our favorite iPhone charger is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Charger-Spigen-Foldable-Charging-Nintendo\/dp\/B08V5MC4KT\/?tag=hotoge-20\">a 3.0A charger that works well with iPads<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box \">\nA Great Charger<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08V5MC4KT?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/218eWxj+HBS._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can usually read an adapter\u2019s power output in fine print somewhere on the body of the charger.\u00a0Look for the word \u201cOutput,\u201d then read the numbers printed after that, such as \u201c2.1A\u201d for \u201c2.1 amps.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-773320 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ipad_usb_adapter.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple's 10 watt USB iPad charger brick.\" width=\"650\" height=\"327\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you can\u2019t find the proper charger, some iPads can charge with 1 amp (1000 mA) chargers (like those for older iPhones), but it will be a slow process.
