iPad doesn't charge on wall charger?

My new iPad 2 will not charge neither in the wall charger or via my MacBook. I received it as a present yesterday and enjoyed until now - the battery is down to 14% and it wont charge. Has somebody had this problem.?

Have you tried using a different cable? For example if you own an iPhone change out the cable (just the usb part) from your iPhone and give it a try. If that won't work, you may have a deffective unit and will need to visit your closest Apple store for a replacement. Also, just a note.......when plugged in through the USB of a computer, you will see a sign saying "not charging." Other's have noted that even though it says not charging, it is in fact charging, albeit at a very slow rate as the iPad takes more juice to charge up........

I am having the same problem. I got my iPad 2 yeterday and its now on 52% battery so I decided to charge it. I plugged it into my computer and it came up not charging. I then plugged it into the wall charger and it recognises that its plugged in but the battery level wont go up. It has the charging symbol in the to right but the level has dropped to 51%. I rang Apple and have restored it to Factory Settings but still the same problem. Looks like I will be giving an Apple store a visit tomorrow.

I´m having the same problem too with my 3 days old iPad 2. When I plug it to the wall charger, the battery doesn´t charge, but if I plug it to the iMac, in spite of the "not charging" message, thee battery seems to be charging. Maybe the problem is in the wall charger… What should we do?

In my case I doubt the problem is the wall charger, because I tried another cable from my iPod and it didn't charge.

On the other side, when I tried to activate the iPad through iTunes of my MacBook the computer didn't recognize the iPad. I can't sync the library . But I get this message that " doesn't charge " . Strange.
