My iPad 2 is charging slowly. Why is that?
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.6
What do you mean by slowly? From empty to fully charged should take around 6 hours if the iPad is not being used.
What are you using to charge?
Do you take a different charging cable? E.g. for iPad Air or not from Apple?
The iPad 2 cannot use an iPad Air charging cable. It is lightning vs the iPad 2 30 pin cable.
The ipad was completely dead when I got up Sunday. I used the charger that came with the iPad.
It seemed to be taking a long time to charge from 1 to 5 percent charged. I asked someone and they said that was just about right. When the charger is completely dead, it does take awhile to be completely charted. He also said I should let all my apple products completely use up their battery at least once a month. It'd better for the item.
A completely dead battery will take some time, perhaps up to an hour, before the iPad will even respond. Be patient. After an hour reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Then let the device continue to charge while connected to the charger that is plugged into a known good wall outlet.
My iPad 2 is taking forever to charge. What is happening?
