It works find to charge my iPhone. However it states "not charging" on my iPad Air. I am using the same apple USB cord. Any thoughts? thanks!

The iPad Air has a larger battery than an iPhone and it expects a higher wattage. If the solar panel isn't in direct sunlight it's power output might go below the minimum for the iPad Air to thinks its being charged, which is why you see 'not charging'. It is charging...just very slowly.

I don't have an iPad air, however this device charges all my Apple devices as well as my tablet and Ebook readers. I'd say a good rule of thumb is; IF YOU CAN CHARGE THE DEVICE ON YOUR COMPUTER's USB THEN THIS WILL CHARGE IT.

Yea. It has a USB charging function I know. But I have read in some reviews that the charger doesn't work with some devices or something. So just wanted to confirm from somebody who has already tried or is using with an iPhone or iPad.

It should be able to charge iPad Air. It uses USB connection. I use it for Samsung Galaxy S3 phone as well as my wife's and kid's iPhones. After fully charging my Galaxy, it still has a lot juice left. But not sure it will have enough power to fully charge iPad Air.

No way this is going to charge the iPad. Even the 5W iPhone charger (which is more power than standard USB) won't charge iPad.

Requires a USB port to attach, so no it's not compatible with the iPad Air. Maybe the WD Wireless might work. Also, look at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5894149

I don't have an iPad, but this charger only puts out 1 Amp - so it may not charge an iPAD if it requires 2 amps. Also, since it does not claim to be iPad compatible -- something it would surely tout since Apple requires components in the hardware, I think. So my answer is - I think it does NOT work with iPad.

It will not work with iPad Air. It's setup with the old adapter, not the new small port.

That's a great question...I'm sorry, I and my family members don't have ipads, so I can't test it out for you and give you an answer for sure. however, the instruction sheet says that it does well in charging Apple items and it did well charging my non-Apple items. If you get it, you just have to be sure and use the right port for whatever your charging; one port is for Apple products and one port is for non-Apple products. I imagine it should work fine as long as you get it plugged into the right port. :)

This will NOT charge my iPad Air as it said it would. When I plug it in it tells me "NOT CHARGING". If I use the same cable and outlet with the original Apple charger that came with the iPad Air it charges just fine so it's not the cable or outlet.

I have not been able to get this to charge my iPad. I returned it to Amazon

It does charge but the port is not compatible with the new iphone 5 or iPad air unless you have a port conversion piece to go with it.

I dont know if it is compatible with the iPad Air. I have the first generation iPad. Yes it charges while you use it.

I have tried to use this to charge both an iPad2 and my iPhone 4s. It has not worked. The indicator on the iPhone shows that it should be charging, but after several hours I have not seen any charge on the phone. The iPad never showed that it was charging.

I'm using ipad3 charger to charge these and it takes 3-5hrs. to charge to AC and yes it works on ipad charger, but i'm not sure how long to charge if you plug it in the usb computer because I haven't try that yet, I just tried to charge for 3 lights remaining on the battery and I know it still almost fully charged but I tried and it takes about 3hrs. on AC adapter, about 2 weeks until now is still fully charge, I only used twice..this it amazing product.

It charges my iphone pretty fast so I don't see any problem with an iPad although it will charge much slower being that a "tablet" takes more to charge than a phone. And a laptop?, It might keep your battery where it's at or more likely drain very slowly. I have plugged all kinds of gear apple or not, and as long as it has USB it'll charge or try its damnedest. Hope that helps.

It does not charge my iPhone, I've tried. I imagine it would not charge any other devices either. I believe the USB port is used solely for flash drives.
