You have to connect the iPad to a high-power USB 2.0 port and put the iPad in sleep mode in order to charge it, although it's not recommended to charge the iPad on the computer because it will be very slow. Instead, use the Power Adaptor included with the iPad.

If that is the case, then how come the Ipad 3 has no issues charging...but just the mini? As for being slow, I normally let it charge overnight,so no big deal.......appreciate your tip though.

Thanks

As far as I know, the 4th generation iPad and the iPad mini require much more energy to be charged
