New apple mini ipad 3 start up issues

My wife bought the new apple min ipad3 and on start up and set up, (today) she got this:
[email protected]
Now when she opens it and wants to log in that is the first apple id she sees. Whilst she can cancel that and go into her own ID it feels wrong.
Anyone come across this. Presumably the apple ipad was made in China and this is Chinese . But is it safe and why is it there?
We have contacted apple but wanted to throw this one to the community to get some views.
Cheers

It's ok these link seems to be the ones that I need to follow:

HT4557 My new Apple Mini IPad has a message box and is froze and will not let me click OK. The message: iPad Not Backed Up; This IPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.

My new Mini IPad is frozen with a message (IPad Not Backed Up) and does not respond when I touch OK. What must I do next? I cannot find the correct ITunes page to sync IPad to Computer ITunes.

Try this now.
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.

Why wont my netflix connect to HD TV through chromecast. No problem connecting youtube from apple mini ipad

My apple mini ipad will connect you tube to my HD TV through chromecast. Why won't my netflix on my mini ipad connect to my HD TV through chromecast?

Could you specify what brand, model, and ports the TV has?
Perhaps the maker of the digital TV has customer support.
Unless that's part of the issue, a general lack of it there, too.
However remote that may be, a few have a web page with
pictures of the back or end of their product with ports in view.
And/or a schematic of the kinds of gremlins they have inside.
Was your MB/Pro a certified Apple Store refurbished 'special deal' or bought at a retail store from existing stock that may have been an older model?
In either case, the ability to return the item has a limited duration from the date of purchase; unless there is a technical issue whereby they may choose to repair or replace a failed component or device. Perhaps someone with more experience with the device and adapters will offer their take on what to attempt next.
Sorry you've had so much trouble...
Good luck in any event.

I cannot get my apple mini ipad to connect to my internet service tried everything

i haven't a clue as to why my ipad mini by apple just stop working on the internet when my computer still works. just says safari cannot open page no wifi connection tried everything please help

You must not have tried "everything".
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Mini Ipad png/jpg issue

I bought my mini Ipad in April 2013. Up until October, all my pictures I took with the Ipad were in jpg format. Now they are in png format - I have installed IOS 7.0.4, is this what changed it? Is there anyway to change it back? I know I can convert png to jpg in MS Paint and other programs, but they picture on my desktop screen is so small it's hard to work with. like cropping, etc.

Thank you so much! This appears to have worked! You just saved me a lot of hassle and possibly money too, because I was thinking about buying a new digital camera (my old one broke). My children and grandchildren get here on Friday for the Holidays - so lots of picture taking on the horizon. Merry Christmas!

Can I download Adobe Flash player on my apple mini ipad?

Can I download Adobe Flash player on my apple mini i-pad?

There is no Flash Player for iOS; Apple won't allow it.

New imac mini cannot start as pick up profile of my old macpro notebook with forgotten password

just puchased a imac mini and started at home where I have a wireless environment with time capsule and a macbook pro notebook. At the start the minimac recognised the time machine and asked it if wanted to take the same profile of the notebook. I said yes and before launching the operating system asked the administartor password of the notebook. Despite the hint used I realised cannot remember the password. I reset the password in my laptop using the operating disk of my laptop (which worked fine). However the mac mini still is askig for the old password. is there a way to go around this as i am running out of options.
can i restart the miniac using a different profile altogher?

You are describing features of Muti-User simultaneous login. The cube spins (away from the currently logged-in User) to give you a fresh login screen. The old User is suspended, and you can log in.

Is is possible to sign into a new apple id and start a fresh library with no music

i have made a new apple id but the old (rubbish) music i had on the old one is still in my library, i was wondering if there is any way to remove the music?

You need to create a new iTunes library; use a different user account on the computer, or launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows)/Option(Mac OS X) key held down and create one.
Apple IDs and iTunes libraries are independent.

New mac mini w/HP monitor issues - 1st apple

just purchased mac mini, hooked up to HPw19e monitor via VGA adapter cable. Montior had previously been greta, now font is fuzzy and can't calibrate to fix. If I get a DVI / HDMI cable to monitor instead, will that help?
frustrated - thanks for any help, new to macs as was looking forward to the out of the box experience...

1440 x 900 (the native pixel resolution of that display) is the ONLY resolution that will give you a sharp display. Are you using that resolution?
DVI/HDMI will be a little sharper, but even VGA should be pretty good. If it's fuzzy, there's a settings problem.

New laptop, existing iPad and snyc issues

Ok. New laptop installed. iTunes installed. All apps transferred. iTunes music and other sourced music available in iTunes. All my PDF files in iTunes
And yes the new iTunes is authorised on my Apple ID.
But...
     I need to sync my PDFs and I get "The iPad is synced with another computer..." do I want to "Erase and Sync".
This leaves me with questions:
     Why can't I migrate to the new laptop?
     This is from Apple, it should be easy right?
     Will "Erase and Sync" mess with my layout (experience tells me yes)?
     My iPhone has my music, so it's going to be worse when I move it over right?
Important items to note. All items (music,apps,pdfs,...) are on the new laptop, but I know where everything is on my iPad/iPhone and I don't want it to change.
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
Bruce

Copy the entire /Music/ iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Everything will sync fine as it iis the same library.
You won't get the Erase & sync message.

I can't get my brand new mac mini to start up.

The screen goes black after showing me the applie logo. It does talk to me, but without the screen, that's not much use. Any suggestions? I tried restarting several times, incl. while holding the ALT key down. Same [lack of] result.

I've tried all suggestions and the MBP is not recognizing my Onkyo TX-SR705 which is only 3 or 4 years old.
Could this be a HDCP problem ?
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

New Mac mini & Formac 1740 monitor issue

I've just bought a new mini, hooked it up to my TV using HDMI and all was good. However when I swapped it over to my Formac 1740 display using the HDMI-DVI connector all I get is a blank screen, as if the monitor isn't getting a signal. The Formac runs a powered ADC-DVI converter with the DVI connector being DVI-D. I then tried a Thunderbolt-DVI. Still no display. It works perfectly fine on my old PC.
Any ideas on how I get the Mini to work with the Formac?

Hello, multiple Adapters may not work in certain situations, but when connected to he TV, can you set a
1,280 x 1,024 resolution, then try he Formac?
Can you hook both up at once & look in the Displays prefpane?

How come my mini iPad is not working after trying to update apps?

My mini iPad is repeatedly showing me a black screen with a, "white apple," in the middle & then a couple of minutes later it turns off for a few minutes. Then the black screen with the, "white apple," in the middle comes back on again and then it goes black again. Sometimes the black screen would lighten and the whole pattern of these "screens" would start over again. It's been doing this for hours since I fell asleep.
This happened when I was trying to update 4-5 apps at the same time. It had trouble updating the, "Pinterest app." It failed once and I retried it and that's when my mini ipad started to not work. I can't use it at all. I never had trouble updating several apps at one time before. I was at home using my wifi and my wifi strength was at its maximum for the iPad.
The battery was at 40 something%, so I charged it over night. It has the latest iOS update software. I had downloaded that yesterday.
I plugged it into iTunes on my computer and the same thing is happening. It's picking up my icloud stuff like my music and videos and my computer is trying to import photos from my mini ipad automatically, but my iPad isn't fully recognizable on iTunes. I get 2 error messages. One says, "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." I also get an error when trying to import photos (just to try it out). The other error message says, "The iPad cannot be sync because this iPad cannot be found."
And so, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and I get the same response. My iTunes is the latest version.
I don't have warranty on this iPad and I spent like $500 on this one. I'm kinda worried...?
Any kind of response would be appreciated....

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. 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 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.
