Why Won T My Laptop Charge My Ipad. That doesnt seem to make any sense. My old Compaq is from around 2008 had to look it up and it charges and syncs the iPad mini 1st gen and iPhone 5s just fine.
Or about 25 watts. If your iPad is not charging past 1 you may be using a charger thats just too weak. Normally a lightning bolt icon appears in the menu bar or on the lock screen to show your device is charging but this only happens if your iPad Pro turns on.
If your computer offers a USB 30 or USB-C port try that port instead and make sure your computer is on and not sleeping.
Try a higher bandwidth USB port. A USB port that supports USB 2 or later on a computer thats on and not in sleep mode. If you dont have those contact Apple Support. The answer is really quite simple.
