Hi all,
If my iPad 3 is plugged into my computer and it says "Not Charging", is the iPad still running using power from the computer, or is it going to drain at its normal rate as if it wasn't plugged in?
Thanks for the help.
What computer are you plugging it into?If my iPad 3 is plugged into my computer and it says "Not Charging"
I'm under the impression that current usb ports on computers can't supply enough amperage to charge 9.7" iPads, similar to the small apple cube chargers (those used by iPhones and 1st gen Minis)
This is correct. The iPad won't charge from most PC USB ports, but Mac USB ports some magically provide the correct voltage. Amazing.

This is true. I just leave the computer out of the equation though and just plug into wall. Any syncing is done via icloud so I don't really need to plug into a computer.

Except the cloud sync are not 100% complete. Some things are not saved from what I understand.
I've used icloud backup for a long time. Backed up my ipad3 and restored everything to my Air. I haven't had to plug my Air into a computer once.
