My wife and I have identical iPad 12.9 3rd generation. I have started having problems with my iPad not charging when connected to any charging setup. Sometimes, it doesn't recognize being connected and sometimes it does but says "Not Charging." Any idea why this is happening? It is only happening on one iPad, and as mentioned, they are identical, purchased at the same time. Thanks.

Your should start here - with basic troubleshooting of potential charging issues:
Charge and monitor the iPad battery - Apple Support
If your iPad won't charge – Apple Support
Having established that neither your Power Adapter or charging cables have are obviously defective, you would be well advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where your iPad, Power Adapter(s) and charging cable(s) can be assessed and tested by the Apple Technicians.
Of this is not possible, you should contact Apple Support for assistance. It is possible to remotely test some aspects of the iPad hardware. Whilst remote testing is not a substitute for “hands-on” assessment of the device, it may identify a fundamental hardware issue.

Yes I have. I have tried multiple different configurations of cables and power sources. I have even tried each configuration on my wife’s iPad and they all seem to work just fine on hers. There is an interesting new development however. I did yet another restart and got it to charge yesterday. But it has indicated still being connected to a charging source even though it has been disconnected for over 12 hours.
Have you tried using different Apple charging cables and power/charging adapters to test?
