How to configure and tweak Safari settings on iPad Mini?

Using my wife's iPad mini, it seems there are no setttings or ability to tweak or change the look and feel and especially the font size for the browser. I am not talking about the website text that shows up on any site visited but the text at the top of the browser, the names of bookmarked sites and so forth, the icons as well.
Also, there is no HOME icon, no TABS icon to open a new tab,there is no History icon or option, same as View, Edit or File or even a Help link or icon/option. Safari settings on a laptop include a bookmark bar, menu bar and status bar you can include or disable, but on the iPad mini there are no such options. I just looked at the email program or app on the iPad and the time is showing at the very top center and it is so tiny even with reading glasses it still looks small.
It's a shame, that I might have to download something to get this looking the way I need it.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions!
Jeff

This is a rather unorthodox suggestion, but if the UI itself is physically too small and your iPad mini is a recent purchase, you might consider exchanging it for an iPad Air (or iPad 2). The UI will be bigger, which may be enough to make the browsing experience more usable.
I think you'll find that buttons will be smaller across most (if not nearly all) apps on iPad mini compared to iPad Air (or previous full-size iPads), so you may run into similar issues in other apps.
Regarding a Home button in Safari, in addition to Meg's suggestions:
1. You may enable the Favorites toolbar in Settings > Safari by changing the Show Favorites Bar setting to ON. The list of sites is managed through a special folder in Bookmarks in Safari.
2. There is also a list of Favorites when opening a new tab (the grid of icons that appears in a new tab). This is also managed by a special folder in Bookmarks in Safari, but a separate folder from the toolbar folder.
Good luck!

How do I set up Safari on my iPad Mini to connect to a specific website on Safari start up ?

On a pc or mac you can set up the browser so it connects to a website such as your Internet provider's website when you open up the browser. How do you set up Safari on the iPad Mini to do that ?

......forget that, I have just seen Add to Home Screen is an option in the Bookmarks list.
Now all I want is to move it from Home Screen 2 to Home Screen 1....

For the context menu of folder New->Forms->...How to restrict this forms visibility?
        This can be done using the Layout set,there you will be having collection render,resource render,details setting through which the options can be customized and the customized layout should be used in field layout set in the KM Navigation Iview.For further understanding go through the below document.

How do i change the safari settings on my new macbook pro to run in the 32 bit mode?

how do i change my safari settings on my new mac book pro to run in 32 bit mode please?

I am running Leopard OS in 64 bit mode. Everytime I want to run my Cisco VPN client I reboot it in 32 bit mode by holding the two keys (don't remember what two keys at the moment). I am looking for another way to run my Cisco VPN. I don't see the check box labeled "Open in 32-bit mode" . The only thing I see is "Open in Rosetta" or something like that. Is the check box "Open in 32-bit mode" only show in Lion X OS?

VPNC - How to configure and run?

Hello,
I've installed the vpnc PKGBUILD, but I don't know how to configure and initialize it.
I am supposed to enter values in vpnc.conf, but I'm not sure which each means. Here is the default vpnc.conf file:
#Interface name tun0
#Perfect Forward Secrecy aa1
#IPSec gateway 131.246.118.240
#IPSec ID unikl
#IPSec secret unikl
#Xauth username abcdef
#Xauth password ghijkl
After I configure it, should I add vpnc to the DAEMONS list in rc.conf? And then, what do I do when I'm ready to start a VPN connection?
Thanks all

hi here is my vpnc.conf
IPSec gateway 144.41.19.24 // vpn-Gateway
IPSec ID Hohenheim-radius //Name of Group
IPSec secret Kartoffel //Password of Group
Xauth username USER //Personal username
Xauth password PW //Personal password
then add "tun" to modules array in rc.conf
and add "vpnc /etc/vpnc.conf" to rc.local to start vpnc automatically on startup.

How to configure and deploy OAM 11g with DB setup using silent mode

Hello all,
I am trying to create automation process to install and configure OAM 11g on WLS. This task involves three stages
1. Install WLS
2. Install OAM 11g
3. Create DB schema using RCU
4. Configure and deploy OAM 11g
I have done first 3 stages in silent mode using scripts and response files. I am stuck at 4th stage. I know how to configure and deploy OAM 11g using config.sh via GUI installer as well as console mode. But I would like to run config.sh in silent mode something like
./config.sh -mode=silent -silent_script=<script_location>
I have searched a lot, but could not find any resource on how to do it? I tried passing the parameters via a text file. But that has not worked. I have also explored WLST, but it also does not work. Given that first 3 things are relatively very simple, the 4th step is becoming complex. I would be very thankful if someone can please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Have a look at your software directory : <sofware directory>/Disk1/stage/Response
Here you will find 2 rsp files which you can use to install and then configure it all.
Good luck.

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
Now reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

Thank you for your reply Domingo. Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes. But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account. I did finally get an answer from Apple. It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution. Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out. Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password. Then you can download the book onto your device. Not too bad, huh? It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out. Geez. What a disappointing experience.

How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck
