Most powered USB hubs, the kind you plug into an AC outlet, will charge your iPad
just fine. But passive or unpowered hubs — ones that don't plug into the wall for power —
won't cut it when it comes to charging your iPad.
If you're in a hurry, charge your iPad for a minimum of 20 minutes. We think a full
charge is a better idea, but a charge of 20 or minutes is better than no charge at all. And for
faster charging in any circumstances, turn off your iPad while it charges.
Restart
If you recharge your iPad and it still misbehaves, the next thing to try is restarting it. Just as restart-
ing a computer often fixes problems, restarting your iPad sometimes works wonders.
Here's how to restart your iPad:
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
2. When the red slider appears, slide it to turn off the iPad and then wait a few seconds.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
4. If your iPad is still frozen, misbehaves, or doesn't start, press and hold the Home button
for six to ten seconds to force any frozen applications to quit.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 again.
If these steps don't get your iPad back up and running, move on to the third R, resetting your iPad.
Reset your iPad
To reset your iPad, merely press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and then press and hold the Home
button, continuing to press both for at least ten seconds. When you see the Apple logo, release both
buttons.
Resetting your iPad is like forcing your computer to restart after a crash. Your data shouldn't be af-
fected by a reset — and in many cases, the reset cures whatever was ailing your iPad. So don't be
shy about giving this technique a try. In many cases, your iPad goes back to normal after you reset it
this way.
