my ipad will not charge : (

Plugged into the mains or a computer's USB port ? Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Are you plugging in to the supplied power adapter?

Maybe there's a problem with your charger or cable. Try with a PC.

Glad I helped.
