Ipad mini retina and Apple TV

I just got a retina Ipad mini a little over a week ago and an Apple TV (3) yesterday. When I turned on mirroring on my 1080p TV I get black bars on either side and a slightly narrower image on the TV. I figured this is due to the different aspect rations of the Ipad (2048x1536) and the max resolution of the display (1920x1080). I've tried using the TV (Sony XBR2) screen adjustments but can't get a full screen without zooming - which of course, cuts off the edges of the display. The only solution appears to be getting a newer TV that can handle the higher Ipad resolution but that would involve having to get a new TV. Are there any other options short of replacing my TV with one that does the higher res?
Thanks
Norm

Have you tried setting your TV Resolution?

Itunes no longer connects to 5S, ipad Mini retina and ipad 2 after ios 8.02 update

Since the ios 8 and now 8.02 updates my Itunes does not connect at all to my iphone 5s, ipad mini (retina) and ipad 2.
iTunes' built in diagnostic sync test says no devices found.
I plug in the USB and nothing happens.
USB ports are working fine. All my other USB plug ins still work fine.
Same computer, same Windows 7 - 64 bit - all updated.
I did a clean iTunes delete per Apple instructions and then re installed iTunes again per Apple instructions and still nothing.
I got first a missing DLL error message and then not even a beep when plugging in the cord (yes all Apple accessories).
Anyone else run into this issue?
Sheesh I hate updates!
Thanks!

Handoff not working between iPad Mini Retina and 2014 Macbook Air

So, I've upgraded to Yosemite today on my 2014 Macbook Air and have updated to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad Mini Retina.
Both are on the same wifi network. Both have bluetooth enabled and are paired.
Both have handoff enabled on them.
With all that, I cannot for the life of me get handoff/continuity to work between them. I've reset both machines and reset network settings on the iPad but still no joy.
Am I missing something?
PS I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming it should work between an MBA and iPad?
Thanks in advance.

Hello JMC1989,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like there is a problem with handoff. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

IPad Mini Retina - unrecognized apple id email account pop up

I recently purchased a brand new iPad Mini Retina to replace a previous iPad Mini. During the initial installation process, I was prompted to enter my Apple ID. The pop was pre-populated with another person's email id. At first, I assumed this was just a sample id to help new Apple device owners to get started. However, this same id has been showing up on other times when I tried to purchase or install a new iPad app on this new device. Lately, from time to time, the Apple id login would pop up with this same email id prompting me for a password even if I'm not purchasing or installing anything. With my curiosity aroused, I sent an email to this address and explained my reason for my inquiry. The person did respond and acknowledged my question but informed me that he had not owned an iPad mini, however, did not verify if he has ever owned an Apple device or purchased from the Apple store. My only conclusion at this point is that perhaps the device shipped to me as a refurbished item? Would you expect that if you Reset a device any previously entered Apple ID would be wiped out? I purchased my device from a reputable Mac dealer and is supposed to be a brand new device. If I can determine this is a refurb, then I would like to return it for a refund or a new device.
I would appreciate any advice, suggestions, ideas, or comments.
Thanks and Happy New Year to All!
Dan

You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region. (The model number is also on the box.)
Take the iPad back to the store.

Can't register my iPad mini Retina with Apple Support

When I try to register my iPad mini with the Apple Support in my profile page, it says that my serial number is already registered to another Apple ID, and to check to see if I've got any other IDs. I ordered this directly from Apple when it was released, and it had never been opened. I contacted Apple, and their records show that it's registered to me. But I'd like to register it online so I can submit questions and any maintenance requests, which I can't do because I can't register it. Has anyone else had this problem?

I tried. They said their records showed that the iPad was registered to my Apple ID. They had no explanation why my serial number couldn't be registered. Felt I was getting the run around so I thought I'd toss it out to the community.

IPad Mini Retina and iPad Air Worldwide LTE 4G ?

I live in Egypt and I travel to the US sometimes so I was thinking about getting an iPad Mini Retina or iPad Air.
I've read that there is only one model from each iPad that supports 14 LTE bands in many countries in Europe and Middle East as well as the USA and it is unlocked but since it comes with pre-installed Sim card from US network vendors and there is no way to order an iPad without one, I am still confused.
Technically there is still no LTE/4G here in Egypt but my network carrier is already testing band 2600 so I need to make sure whether any iPad Mini Retina ot iPad Air I get from the US would work for me here or not.
Thanks in advance

It comes with a sim card. But you can simply take it out, and put one in for your own carrier.
While using your Egyptian sim in Egypt you'll get whatever your carrier offers. Likely 3G.
Now when travelling abroad, either you use your Egyptian Carrier's roaming plans whcih can be expensive or you can get an american pay as you go card. So you only pay for it when yoiu are going to use it. When arriving in the US, simply swap sim cards and the iPad will connect to the carrier the sim car belongs to.

IPad Mini Retina and Win 8.1 Connection Looping

When I plug in ipad mini to new ASUS PC that I just upgraded to Win 8.1 the USB connection does not stay permanently established. The ipad loops between connecting and not connecting and just keep looping back and forth. The device manager goes back and forth displaying the ipad. Worked fine on Win 8.
Can anyone help?

Hi Sddhrth92,
If you are having an issue with your iPad randomly restarting, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Device unexpectedly restarts, displays Apple logo, or powers off
In particular, since your iPad is up to date with iOS 8.0.2 -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Ipad mini retina and gorilla glass

Do anyone knows "FOR SURE", not i think, or someone told me, with a link to it, if ipad mini has or doesnt have gorilla glass?
I dont want to hear your stories, feelings, etc. Just the facts maam!

It does not have Gorilla Glass. It uses a different type of glass but with similar if not identical properties. If you did a bit of Google searching you probably would have found this on your own.

Bluetooth between iPad mini retina and iPhone 5

Hi All.
Post upgrade to iOS 8 on both my iPad and iPhone i am unable to pair the 2 devices over Bluetooth.
I Have restored both my devices through iTunes and set up as new devices but I am still unable to pair together. This is stopping my from tethering my iPad to my iPhone.
Has anyone experienced these issues after upgrading to iOS 8 ?

Well, there is no apple here, take it back to where you bought it.

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

IPad mini Retina keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from Macbook Pro USB 3.0

Good evening everyone,
I know this title seems similar to existing questions around the internet, but they were either out of date or didn't lead to an answer.
The two devices in question are an iPad Mini Retina and a Macbook Pro late 2013. They are both up-to-date in software terms with iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3.
I kind of ruled out the cable as the culprit because the connection to my iPhone is flawless which makes me think the USB ports aren't part of the problem either (Problem occurs on both Ports). Connecting the iPad to a power socket works fine as well.
As the title states it (re-)connects and disconnects in intervals of approx. 0.5 seconds which is followed by a "dong", the charging symbol on the iPad and a message in iTunes which either states "Device isn't connected" or "Device wasn't found". I tried to check the box in iTunes "Prevent devices from automatically syncing[...]" but nothing changed.
This problem does not occur at all times but I have not been able to get a hold of when it does work.
I also tried a diagnose on my Macbook but no errors have been found and the iTunes Version is up to date as well.
This is about all the input I got and really do hope to get some helping answers.
Looking forwards for and appreciating your answers
Marius

It does seem to be a cable issue although the iPhone got no problems.. Mysterious.
Thank you

IPad mini retina low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Brand new iPad Mini Retina- dead out of box

Just got a brand new ipad Mini retina and it won't turn on. Have tried all kind of reset button combos and nothing. Any suggestions or is it really dead? Have an appt at Apple Store in the morning, but would love to resolve it before then.

It's possible that its battery is totally dead. Try plugging it in and let it sit for an hour or two and see if there are any signs of life. Even if it does come back, I would still keep that appointment and get it checked out because normally iPads have a charge when you unbox them.

Ipad mini retina problem

Hey guys i just bought the ipad mini retina and i got an issue ...the imovie and keynote app dont download its says downloading but its not moving theres nothing to do :( what can i do ???

I bought iPad mini retina today and I noticed its heating up and battery draining very fast at 20% in less than an hour.
I called cust support and the guy asked me to upgrade to iOS 7.0.6 from 7.0.4.
Looks like he just passed time. I'm going to return this failure thing tomorrow.
I'm shocked why Apple doesn't test it'd OS n products properly.

Brand new iPad Mini Retina won't charge when its connected to my PC

I just opened up my brand new iPad Mini Retina and attempted to plug it into my PC and set it up. The iPad quickly recognizes my PC, briefly displays the charge symbol then immediately displays "not charging." I have attempted to plug the iPad into the wall, and it charges just fine. All the cables I'm using are straight out of the box which I bought right from the Apple Store so I know its not any of those. My laptop is fully charged and also plugged into the wall, so I know its not my computer. I also double checked everything by plugging my iPhone 5 into my computer (with the new iPad lightening cable) and it charges/syncs just fine. Im stumped, please help me fix my brand new iPad Mini Retina.

I know you said PC, for for others that have an iMac with USB 3 ports, they can put out extra power to charge an iPad. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US)
