iPad has charging issues with PCs
Quick Share:
iPad has just gone live. It has been less than 24 hours since the Apple Tablet got itself into the hands of many new and excited owners and already we are hearing reports of iPad having some charging issues. It seems that iPad cannot be charged when the USB port is connected to a PC or in other words a non Mac computer.
iMac and MacBook Pro are the only devices on which iPad is able to charge. To much of my surprise, Apple’s magical Tablet isn’t charging even when it is connected to iMac via USB hub.
The official word regarding this matter goes as follow:
- iPad was intended to be charged via the wall charger.
- iPad charger is not suitable to be used for charging the iPhone.
