Harry, the iPad's hugemongous battery requires a bit of current to charge it. Most laptops don't have that much to spare at their USB ports, so you have to plug it into the wall with the oversized white brick they supply. You can sync it with the computer fine, but it won't charge. Some have said that it will charge if the iPad is off and, though I haven't tested that, it makes sense that having it on AND charging would take more power than just charging. I have heard that SOME laptops will charge it and some won't. It all depends on how much juice is at the USB port you plug it into. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9 & 10 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 Kentuckiana's Only FileMaker Users Group: Listserv signup: http://fmpug.com/mailman/listinfo/louisville_fmpug.com Blog: http://kyfmp.com Next meeting: 7/15/10 1:00 pm _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
