    I tried charging my iPad Mini with the original Apple sync cable that came with the Mini via the USB port but could not get it to charge. Anyone else experience this?

    Did you just upgrade to iOS7? If so, that could be the issue. Is the car adapter third-party? If so, Apple may be blocking it. Annoying to have to get a new charger...

    I have an iPad 3 and have charged it with the USB port. It charged much slower than with the Apple power cube but it did charge.
