Hi Lynn, Its really not practical to charge the iPad via USB connected to your Mac. It charges to slowly. The iPad actually will charge from a normal USB port, but not while the screen is on. If you hit the sleep button it will start charging, you just can't tell because the screen is off. As soon as you turn the screen back on, it says 'not charging' next to the battery. Brings to mind the classic refrigerator light dilemma.
