Hi Don,

I can plug my iPhone into my PC via USB (no iTunes account on it) and it will charge. When I plug in my iPad it says 'not charging'. Any idea why?

Hi Richard,

The iPad has a great draw when charging and a lot of USB ports cannot provide this power. Apple support stipulate it must be a High-Power USB 2.0 port.

A lot of PCs and Macs don’t have this!
