Just let me sync my **** ipad mini and get on with my life

i just got the new ipad mini and it will not sync to my dell laptop and at the top it say "not charging. i can't even use it.

You must use a high power USB port:
If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.

  • I just uploaded IOS 8 to Ipad mini and I get cord and arrow pointing to ITUNES?

    I just uploaded IOS8 to ipad mini and get the cord and arrow pointed to ITunes (black screen behind) .  I have goggled every website and instruction on how to restore with home buttons and on/off and cable connected to Ipad and computer and continue to get the same picture .  Please can anyone help me?

    hi, I have the same exact problem today and mine is also an iPad mini
    all I do is connecting my iPad to itunes (make sure you have the latest version) and then a pop-up appears and it gave me two option 'update' and 'restore'
    choose the update and let itunes downloading the ios, I don't know if this might happen to you but after sometimes another pop-up appears to say the download failed and I need to restore my ipad, I choose to ignore it (by clicking restore and update > cancel) because on my first attempt I click update and it suddenly re-downloading from zero, and it keeps appearing for every 10 minutes so I just choose the 'eject ipad' option and keep the itunes downloading the ios
    once it finished downloading connect the ipad, choose update, the apple logo will appear on your ipad with a stripe below
    it takes a long time to update the ios on the ipad but please be patient because it might took a long time
    after a depressing 15 hours of downloading and 1 hour of updating I managed to get my ipad back with a new ios and without losing any data (please note that I don't have any backup of my files and using my friends pc to do all the steps above)
    good luck and sorry for my bad english

  • I have just bout a brand new ipad mini and commenced setting it up. I had to leave it for a while and switched it off. When I came back to switch it on it asked for a pass code and I haven't set one up as far as I know. Anyone know whats going on!

    I have just bought a brand new Ipad mini and started setting it up. I had updated to os7.4 and after it finshed installing I had to leave it before answering all the set up questions. When I switched it back on it asked me for a pass code which as far as I'm concerned, hasn't been set up yet. Anyone know whats going on!

    Hi robertbpage,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If the iPad mini is asking for a password that you do not know, this article has steps you can take:

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Just started up my new ipad mini and synced it with itunes i went in to photos to delete some of the unwanted pictures but!!! There is no delete button

    Went to delete pictures on ipad mini and there was no delete button Help!!

    If pictures was synced from your computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select it from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • Ipad mini and bluethoot connection with pc

    I have a ipad mini Model MD531C/A on version 6.1.3. It is named Caroline.
    I want to connect the ipad Caroline on the internet using bluethoot with my PC (on windows 8). My PC is named Creator.
    The PC detected the ipad named Caroline. The ipad dected the PC Creator.
    The PC sent a code to the ipad. I clicked yes on the PC, they were matching.
    Then I asked the ipad to connect to the PC Creator and it the ipad said (I do not remember exactly, but something like...) IT CAN NOT CONECT to that device.
    The PC Creator disapeared from the list of bluethoot devices detectable by the ipad.
    And I do not know how to go any farther with the ipad mini to detect the PC Creator again.
    And I am afraid that if I delete the ipad Caroline from the list in my PC, that it is not going to detect my ipad again since the ipad seems to have blocked or erase the PC Creator from the list of detectable bluethoot devices.
    Note:
    I had not itune installed on my PC. But, as I am writting this, I am installing it.

    Since you have a warranty, take it back.

  • I recently got a new iPad Mini and that came with free iWorks. When I try to add a picture  only one of my seven photo streams will load, whats up?

    So I have most pictures in different photo streams from my other devices. When I try to  add a picture to my slide, only one photo stream will show and the one that shows isn't even created by me, if that matters. I have turned off the Photo option on my iCloud and turned it back on. Have tried closing apps, still nothing.

    You should post this in the iOS discussion where folk who use the iPad can help you, this is Keynote for Mac.

  • How to transfer music from PC to my iPad mini and iTunes Store app issue

    I am new with IPad mini, and have issues with music on device:
    A) I wonder whether I can transfer music from PC to device (A 1432) and
    B) I have problems 'approaching' iTunes Store app because it shows on screen interface for iTunes U app (which I downloaded previously and deleted it in the meantime because of this problems)...cannot shut it down because there is no way to exit this mode.
    hope someone will help so I can finally have some music on device.
    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot Ralph9430!
    I did manage to solve problem of music transfer iPad mini-PC, however I didn't succeed in approaching iTunes Store and there is nothing in the manual about it.
    When I open application I have iTunes U interface and cannot move anywhere but close app. I did try to re -enter pass and ID in iTunes Store app settings but nothing changed.
    Does anyone have any idea what to do in order to have approach to ITunes Store.
    Tnx!

    Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
    I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
    On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
    Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

    Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
    This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
    On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
    Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
    It's defo not user error!

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Just got ipad mini and would like to remove old ipad from iCloud  - how do I do this?

    I just got an ipad mini and would like to remove my old ipad from iCloud (but keep the mini in the iCloud) how do I do this?

    What is it you want to remove?  You can remove the backup of your old iPad by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Documents>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your old iPad under Backups and scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Backup.  To remove iCloud from your old iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account at the bottom.  If you want to keep a copy of the synced data on your old iPad be sure to choose Keep on iPad when prompted.
