Thanks a million!! There should be a note somewhere in the instructions that inform the user that you can't charge the iPad 4 from the computer. Customers with iPods & iPhones are accustom to this and probably automatically assume that this is the case for iPads. I'm sure I'm not the 1st person that poised this question and it can quickly be remedy adding this in the instructions.
