Quit with the negative waves, man.
...which is an odd message since it happens when I put the thing on the wall charger. It's an iPad 1. It does what I want, so I don't want to trash it if I don't have to. I've reinstalled the os, still getting the message. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem somewhere. The charger and cord are good. I cleaned the contacts on both cord and hardware.
Here's the strange thing. If I plug my ipod into the charger, the charger works as it should. So in order to get the iPad to charge, here's the ritual: plug in the iPod. Hard reset the iPad twice. (once won't do it) Immediately disconnect the iPod and plug the cord into the iPad. Then, it charges. Once the ipPad reaches 100% sometime overnight, it goes back to the "Charging not supported" message.
This happened after I shut off the iCloud feature. Google Fu shows this to be a fairly common problem, but no fix.
Anybody know anything to fix this?
