Problem with 7.0.4 update on iPad Mini Retina

Hello,
I just got my iPad Mini Retina today and after setting up the iPad I get a message that a new OS update 7.0.4 is available for the iPad so I accept and go with the update. But the Apple device is rebooting and is not finishing the update.
All I see is the Apple logo with a thin gray bar underneath indicating the update but nothing happens. It has been like this for the last half hour.
Is this a know issue? How do I get the device to boot again?
Thanks
Gopinath

Sorry, I called Apple Support and they asked me to do a hard reboot and it just booted. The hard reboot is to press and hold the home button and and on/off button at the top.
This rebooted the ipad and also had the updated ios 7.0.4.
The support person said sometimes the wifi connectivity could cause a problem with reboot after an OS update.
Thanks
Gopinath

    Dear Apple Support,
    Good day to you.
    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.
    Thank you

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • HT4623 I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN  PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

    I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN  PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

    You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles.  To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account.  To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example).  It's a bit clunky, but works. 

  • After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times.

    After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times. It is so annoying plus there are applications that keeps on crashing such as brother in arms by gameloft so i have no choice but to reinstall it all over again.. But after quite some time the apps will crash again.. Argh it's a cycle. so annoying..

    Hi  It sounds like a bug. Go to settings iCloud backup over your WiFi Then Restore back to Factory Settings. After Restore use same Apple ID then you will get all your apps & data back. Do Restore over your WiFi. Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over WiFi you don't need to use your PC. Cheers Brian

  • Issue with tabs frequently reloading on my iPad Mini Retina

    After opening 4 tabs (sometimes just 2 or 3) on my iPad Mini Retina, returning to the first opened tab has me needing to reload it on Safari. Same case when I exit to another app like Gmail or the Appstore and then return to the browser. Why is that so?
    On my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, I can open up to 8 tabs (maybe more, never tried) and switch between them with zero reloads, and can use a couple of apps and return to the browser with all tabs fully loaded as before.
    Thanks!

  • Sound issues with recent 8.3 update for Ipad mini 2

    So recently I purchased an Ipad mini 2 32 gb tablet. I saw there was an software update and processed it right away. That completed fine but what I found that when I was running the new Mortal Combat game there was this occasional crackling sound that was very annoying. I also experience it on some Youtube videos. So I decided to return the unit thinking there was defective hardware. So I got the replacement and it worked just fine at 8.2 I decided not update the software for a week and see what happened. Well it ran Mortal Combat just fine with no crackling. It also ran youtube videos with no problems. So I thought ok, looks like I had a bad unit. Let me load up 8.3 now and I should be good. Well just what I was hoping would not happen, did. The crackling returned and I have very frustrated now. What can I do? Does apple or any one else know about this issue?

    I just responded to you on this other thread that references this post: Re: iOS 8.3 a disaster
    Happy to try to help take a look!

    iOS 8 GENERAL PROBLEMS
    The same here. My iPad Mini retina became laggy, crashy, with bunch of problems even with this last 8.0.2 update!!
    And that's not all:
    BLUETOOTH in iOS 8 seems completely BROKEN!!!
    After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8, (also after update to 8.0.2.), bluetooth service in the phone is completely lost!!
    Tried everything, reset network settings, deleted bluetooth devices, renamed iPhone, restarted it (soft reset), NOTHING!!!
    I can't connect iPhone with my car bluetooth handsfree anymore.
    And that's not all! My iPhone can't even connect with my iPad, so I can forget about Airdrop as well!!!!
    So frustrating!!!! As if BT service in the phone is broken!!!
    Do I need to say, everything worked flawless in iOS 7!!
    what is happening with Apple?!? This lasts too many days already, for how long more should we wait for its reaction?!

  • Ipad mini retina ios 8 update - useless wifi connection

    Hi,
    I updated my ipad mini retina display to latest version of ios 8 yesterday. What a disaster that turned out to be - since updating wifi connection to my BT homehub 5 router has been terrible. It will work for a few minutes then the connection just sticks - it not the router as iphone 5 and laptop work perfectly with it.
    Tried a hard re-set, re-setting the network settings & finally reset to original setting - same thing happens.
    Anyone help me with this? I so wish I'd never run this update and stuck with ios7 - presumably there is no way back??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Same issue here, unstable connection since I updated to iOS 8.0.2, I need to turn off/on the wifi when it happens. That is not a router issue as my other devices work perfectly (iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0.2 by the way)
    I already restored my iPad min three times in vain !
    Waiting for for a fix, that's all we can do but it's very frustrating and disappointing !

  • IPad mini Retina Display wont´t turn on after updating to iOS 7

    Hi,
    I just update my iPad mini Retina Display to iOS 7. Then, when I try to turn it on, it restart showing a blue screen. I try to reset the iPad holding and presing the Home Screen and the Wake/Sleep botton. It doesn´t matter, it still restarting showing the blue screen. Everytime I connect the iPad to the charger or the PC, it will restart.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

    I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) -  but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
    It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

    go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into 
    and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
    You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
    If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there.  This is what Barney previously posted about that:

  • Does anyone have battery problems with iPad mini retina?

    I am noticing that there may be an issue with my iPad Mini Retina battery.
    I will put to charge at night and in the morning it will say it is at 23% when I actually unplug it
    it changes to 100 or 93%.
    Is this happening to anyone else.
    Could it be I use it too much???
    It is only 1 year old.

    The same thing happened to me. I think what happens is that the OS update starts ALL of your apps running in the background and burns through th battery....
    I don't see that as causing the issue though.  Plain fact is that only a very few apps can truly RUN in the background (i.e. execute some task, like playing music).  Most apps in the recent tasks bar are suspended (similar to a UNIX halt state), not running, since the iOS only supports a very limited sort of multitasking and most apps do not have any code that can, in fact, run in the background.
    So, for those experiencing the reduced battery life, I think something else must be happening, although I don't know what since my battery life has been excellent with all the upgrades.  Just saying that I'd suspect some other cause for those with the problem.
