Hi guys just bought an iPad yesterday. The iPad won't charge over USB at laptop is it?

It cannot be recharged using the USB ports on any non-Apple computer. However it can be charged through an  an iMac and a MacBook Pro. The iPad would not charge using any USB ports on several Windows machines, nor through the USB port on an Apple wired keyboard connected to the iMac.

According to Apple Tech Support:

        * For the fastest charging, use the iPad’s included 10-Watt USB power adapter. This will fully charge the iPad in a few hours, even if you’re using the iPad at the same time.
        * When connected to a high-power USB port—such as the ones on recent Macs and the iPhone Power Adapter—the iPad will charge, even during use, but more slowly. Some third-party powered USB hubs provide higher-power USB ports, but many don’t; similarly, the USB ports on most Windows PCs don’t provide this additional power.
        * When connected to lower-power USB ports—those on older Macs, most Windows PCs, and most USB hubs (powered or unpowered)—the iPad’s battery is not charged while the iPad is awake, but is charged (again, slowly) when the iPad is asleep. What’s confusing here is that the message Not charging appears in the menu bar when the iPad is awake, which might lead you to assume that the offending USB port can never charge your iPad. But rest assured, : once you put the iPad to sleep, the battery will indeed charge.

Hi, just bought an ipad from MACHINE and realize that it say 'NOT CHARGING' whenever i plug into a pc. Went to a fren store to check it out and he said it might be a defect. What should i do sifus?

I had this problem too but I found out a way to overcome it in my case.
ASUS, MSI And GIGABYTE have released a new upgrade driver for their motherboards to allow more juice to flow into their USB ports. According to a blog spot I found, ASUS's driver is compatible for most motherboards. I tried qit out on my HP Compaq Presario CQ36 laptop and it worked like a charm.

My IPad has the charge icon once I plugged it in my laptop and completes a charge in a couple of hours.
