There have been others before the iPad however it was only the iPad that was able to successfully market itself being known to the whole world. Now, you can see an ipad charging station even in malls and shopping centers to attract people.

If possible, connect it to a USB 3.0 hub port to make sure it has enough power.
- Cable or connector problem - This concern can be a two-faced one. There are two possible sites for the connector problem. The first being the one on the cable side. You can try switching to another cable to eliminate that this is the one with the problem. The second being the connector of the iPad itself. For this, you would have to go to the place where you bought the unit or go to an Apple store if your unit is still under warranty.
