MIDDLE SCHOOL
My iPad is not charging, why?
We have seen some iPads reported as not charging. Yet when we put them on a proper charger they seem to be fine. In researching this issue, there are some common notes. Here is what I found.
One of the biggest issues when an iPad is not charging is using the wrong charger. The school provided every student with a proper charger. The charging blocks are larger than an iPone charger and provide 12w of power to fill the batteries on an iPad. The charger looks like the image below.
Many times, we see an iPhone charger being used to charge the iPad. The iPhone brick delivers 5w of charging power (less than half of the iPad charger). This can cause problems for the iPad. It will cause the iPad to charge slower than designed and ultimately make the iPad report not charging. The iPhone charger looks like this:
On top of that, there are those that go out to replace a lost charger and find a super cheap one on eBay. These chargers are usually knock offs of the proper charger and have a 90% failure rate in a short time, but because of how they are made may also not provide the proper power for the iPad. Stay away from cheap replacements and get an Apple charger (required for school devices - since that is what we provided).
Frayed, damaged cables or using cheap replacement cables come in as the number two reason the iPad will not charge properly. Frayed ends can short out or break internally giving intermittent times of working or not. These cables should be replaced as soon as possible with a certified Lightning to USB cable.
The third reason your iPad will not charge is a mashup of different issues. These range from shutting the iPad off, cleaning the Lightning port on the iPad, and on rare occasions it is the battery on the iPad that has gone bad.
Hopefully this has provided information that will help you keep you iPad charged and ready for school.
Blessings and Merry Christmas!

DEVOTIONAL
From the Bottom to the Top
Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Genesis 39:20-21
When Potiphar’s wife cried rape, her husband believed her and had Joseph thrown into prison. Some of us would have said, ‘It’s not fair. I did the right thing. Maybe I should have had some fun, kept my job, and even gotten a promotion.’ Not Joseph! At that point in his life there was no better place for him to be, because he was exactly where God wanted him. It was in prison that he met the royal butler, who in turn introduced him to Pharaoh, who eventually placed him on the throne. Sometimes God takes us to the bottom in order to take us to the top. The hard part is remembering that when you hit the bottom it’s not the end of the trip. The Bible says of Joseph: ‘Until his word...came true... the word of the Lord tried...him’ (Psalm 105:19). Pharaoh was about to have a dream nobody in his kingdom could interpret except Joseph. And as a result, Joseph was about to go from a zero to a hero, from prison stripes to Pharaoh’s second in command. No one can perform that kind of miracle but God. If most of us were in jail we’d settle for early release, a suit of clothes, and a hundred dollars to get back home. But God had something much better in mind for Joseph. And He has for you too! He knows where He’s taking you. He knows the lessons you need to learn along the way so that when you get there you can do the job. So, look for God’s hand in your situation today.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, as painful as it may be at the time, thank You for taking me to the bottom at times so that You can teach me and raise me up. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
