iPad 2 gets "Not Charging" error after updating to iOS 5.1.1
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
Hello:
What are you connected to (for charging)? The best method is to plug it into a wall socket. Some USB hubs do not provide enough power to charge an iPad.
If you are plugged into the wall and it is not charging, try resetting the iPad.

I am using the USB cable provided with the iPad 2 and it is plugged directly into a wall socket as it has always been. The problem arose after updating to 5.1.1
It was charging perfectly fine prior to the update and it was plugged in during the update and as soon as the update was done, my iPad 2 displayed 'Not Charging' while still plugged in. I did a a hard reset multiple times, I let it stay plugged up overnight even while it said 'Not Charging' just to see if it would charge or not and it did not charge. Apple and their software updates are killing me and my $700 toy! And $700 is a lot!!
Hello:
With the additional information you provided, I would take the cable/charger in for warranty replacement (or testing at an Apple store).
I never say never, but I seriously doubt the iOS update has anything to do with the issue.
Barry
P.S. I agree $700 is a lot. 😉
did you tried contacting apple support?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

When I was in the store yesterday I didn't have the iPad so I just asked one of the employees and they said this problem is becoming an epidemic with people after the iOS update to 5.1.1 ðŸ˜
An employee at the Apple Store said a lot of people are experiencing this problem after the 5.1.1 update. It's been charging fine and I had it pluged in while updating and as soon as it updating, like as soon as meaning as soon as it came back on after the final step from updating, the ipad said 'Not Charging' I am still going to try some different sords and different ways of charging but either way, it should charge as it's always been. If anything good comes out of it, I will post for sure!
