Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better than any other retina?

The 1st gen iPad mini had the same resolution as ipad 2. Becasue the mini is smaller than the 2 the pixels were denser.
So my question is... Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better or denser than other retina screens found on other devices?
Thanks

Try resetting the iPad (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

  • Is the macbook pro much better than any other laptop?

    I am currently wanting to buy a laptop, I am deciding whether to buy a macbook pro or just a regular laptop. Is it really worth it to spend so much more?
    Thank you! ~ mtumbler

    Don't forget where you're asking that question. 
    Since nearly all people here have Macs, we obviously felt they were worth the price.  "Much better than any other laptop" is a fairly subjective statement.  All the major manufacturers have excellent high-end options.  When comparing prices, you need to compare similar specifications and quality.  You can certainly get cheaper PC computers, but similarly spec'd machines with similar build quality are generally around the same price (and actually sometimes somewhat higher).
    The areas that most of us would agree puts Apple at the top are OS X, quality/design, and customer service.  Only Macs can run OS X.  For those of us that use OS X, we typically prefer it over Windows (by quite a bit).  However, this isn't always a positive for someone moving over from Windows.  There is a little bit of a learning curve.  If you are going to need to be able to do everything you want, you need to understand that it might take a little time to figure everything out.  You can install Windows alongside the Mac OS to help make the transition a little easier, but that requires that you purchase a copy of Windows.  So far as quality and design...  Apple has always been a leader in this area.  However, as I had mentioned earlier, most major manufacturers have caught up in this area... at least with respect to their high-end offerings.  It's really a matter of preference in terms of which you like more.  No one offers the same level of customer service that you'll get from Apple.  No other manufacturer has retail stores like Apple where you can go in with your machine and have someone (who knows about Apple products) check out your machine on the spot.  Their phone support is also excellent and their user support community (where you're at now) is second to none.
    So... most of us would agree that we feel Apple products are "better".  But if you were to go to a typica PC forum and ask the same question, you'll find people who would argue fanatically that they're not.  The reality is that there isn't that much of a difference in the hardware.  You need to decide if something like the OS (which you probably don't have much experience using), design, and support are important to you.

  • Resolution is iMovie is always better than any other exported version

    Hi folks -
    I've used iMovie to make a few montages (photos/music/some video). When I watch the "movie" on iMovie it looks great - crisp, high resolution. But when I choose any format to compress it to, even the highest resolution, it is automatically degraded. Is there any way I can save the final cut in a resolution that won't lose image quality? Right now I've been keeping the iMovie working file on my hard drive (taking up a ridiculous amount of space) because it's the best way to watch it.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    even the highest resolution, it is automatically degraded
    No. Exporting from iMovie 6.0.3/4 (other versions like iMovie 4.0.1 may behave differently...) via File > Export > QuickTime > Full Quality preserves all quality of a iMovie DV project.
    I archive my edited iMovie clips as <9 min 30 sec clips exported this way as .dv files.
    Exporting to tape also preserves all quality but then you may get some dropped frames...
    ...by default QuickTime Player has low quality deinterlaced playback of DV-encoded clips -- you have to turn on high quality playback of the clip to see all quality. In QT 7 you do this via enabling "Window/Show Movie Properties/Video Track/Visual Settings/High Quality" setting -- do not enable "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" because they deinterlace playback. You can also set "QuickTime Player 7/Preferences.../General/Use high quality video setting when available" to check the "High Quality" box by default (notice that the "Single Field" or "Deinterlace" boxes may have been saved to the file so sometimes you must take care to uncheck them).

  • I was just wondering if Siri will ever come out to the iPod touch maybe on the next update but I love apple like so much it is way better than any other company! But I was just wondering because Siri is so cool and I want to try her out

    Just wanted to ask you
    guys from apple  

    Apple itself does not respond to questions on the Apple Support Communities forums.  Responses come from other Mac users like yourself.  We don't know what Apple plans on doing but I am not sure the iPod Touch has the computing power to do Siri.

  • TS3308 why i can't connect the headphone to my iPad mini retina, to sound still coming out from the ipad

    is the connector inserted as far as possible?
    Is there anything blocking it from being inserted far enough?

  • How can I transfer the music on my iPad mini to an empty music library on my new macbook?

    I have recently purchase a new Mac Book with retina display.
    I have tried without success to transfer the music from my iPad mini to the empty iTunes library on the Mac Book.
    Each attempt warns me that my iPad music library will be replaced by the Mac Book library.
    As this is an empty location surely all that will happen is that my iPad library will also become empty following the sync?

    This is an excellent user tip that instructs you on what you need to do. For the music that was purchased from iTunes, you will be able to use the Transfer Purchases feature.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    This is is the article that talks specifically about transferring purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Any music that was imported from CD and then synced to the iPad will require a their party app in order to transfer the music. Something like this.

  • Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around?  Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen.  Is my mini possessed?

    Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps.  I reboot and still it happens.  Any suggestions?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • 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.

  • HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off.  Is there any other way I can reset?

    My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad?  Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • How do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    how do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    Hello Tami,
    Thank you for the question.  You can remove all the music stored on your iPad mini from the Usage section in Settings:
    View usage on iOS
    Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
    Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
    Depending on the app, you may also be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and its content.
    After you have tapped on Music in the Usage section, swipe from right to left over “All Music” to get the option to tap Delete. This will remove all the music stored on your iPad mini.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Check settings an make sure FaceTime is turned on and addresses are configured  (Settings app > FaceTime)
    Check all of your home screens and folders. It could have been inadvertantly moved (you can also use Spotlight search to check fior it: Swipe down form the home screen. This will also let you know it it is in a folder)

  • Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the iPad?

    Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the New iPad? I just received the new iPad and would like to reduce the size of the resolution of the pictures I am transferring.
    I have storage capacity issue and I am only able to transfer about half the number of pictures I had on original Ipad with the same storage capacity. I upgraded to the New Ipad and I am transferring all the pictures I had in the original Ipad. I do not know why they are not all transfering since the New Ipad got full before all the pictutres where transfered. I used Itunes to transfer the pictures I have in Iphoto .  I assume this is because the New Ipad has a higher resolution screen and is allowing the pictures to be transfered automatically to the New Ipad at a higher resolution than the original Ipad?
    Any thoughts?

    I have a Canon 7D and the picture are large.
    Step my step instructions, would be great if it is at all possible.
    What you as is difficult without knowing your exact circumstances, i.e. what format pictures are you sending, do you shoot in .jpg or shoot in RAW and convert to .jpg, etc.  However, I don't see a way to quickly reduce the size of your image files without reprocessing your files in some manner.
    You could export all of the images to be loaded onto your iPad in JPEG format using Lightroom or Aperture and greatly lower the quality setting in the .jpg export.  If you do this make sure you export to a new folder. Lowering the quality can have a huge impact on the size of the image files.  If this worked it would give you the advantage of still having the largest amount of pixels allowable on the iPad 3.  I found that on my iPad 2 I could 'get away' with setting the quality to around 50 without seeing any obvious changes.  A higher quality setting may or may not be required on the iPad 3, time will tell and as my iPad 3 is going back I've not taken the time to put more than a few sample (800 or so) images on it.  They were exported at a quality setting of 60 and look as well as can be expected considering my defective iPad 3 display.
    If you images are already exported at a lower quality setting and are still too large the next step would be to reduce the dimensions of the image.  Lightroom has this capability.  I don't know about Aperture, but I assume it does.
    My normal workflow with my 7D:
    Take picture in RAW.
    Transfer to Lightroom 4 converting the Canon RAW files to Adobe's DNG format.
    Process images in Lightroom.  If any need further processing then export to Photoshop and/or Nik plug-ins.
    Export processed images that I wish to have on my iPad to my Pictures folder in .jpg format using a quality setting of 60.  I do not reduce the dimension of the image as I want the maximum sized images my iPad will allow.  As I only transfer a couple of thousand size is not an issue.
    Use iTunes to Sync photos to iPad.
    As was mentioned by a previous poster you could use Photoshop to bulk process the photos but that requires both Photoshop and a knowledge of creating a bulk action.  Not hard, but very confusing if you haven't used both Photoshop and the bulk process before.
    There may be other methods that could work for you but I am not aware of them.  With the breadth of experience of the members of this forum perhaps someone else could chime in with suggestions.
