AirDrop from iPad mini to iPhone 5 not working.

I'm trying to drop a picture from my new iPad mini to my iPhone 5. Both have iOS 7.0.2, both are set to airdrop:everyone, both connected to wifi. My phone shows up on my iPad, but once I try to make the transfer, i get the request on my phone but then it instantly says the transfer was cancelled. I can transfer files TO my iPad just fine, but my phone won't take them from my iPad. Any thoughts?

You guys will not believe how I got mine to work. I have been ****** off the past few months because I haven't gotten airdrop to work between my iphone and mac. Sometimes it would work only one way and other times none at all. Well, what I discovered is that I can't send files from the mac to my iphone when I have my phone on do not disturb. I discovered this because I was turning the airdrop feature on and off on my phone to see if it would reset something and I accidentally clicked the moon icon and voila my iphone showed up on my airdrop screen on the mac. However, my phone still couldn't see my mac so I was like, there's no do not disturb feature on the mac. So just out of nowhere it occurred to me to check my imessage account and saw that I had it on offline. I changed it to current itunes song, and boom my mac showed up on airdrop on my phone! Now I did test this out and when I put my phone back on do not disturb, it would disappear from airdrop. However, when I changed my imessage status on my mac to offline, the mac still showed up on my phone. All I know is that this is how I got mine to work. I had already tried the signing in and out of icloud, restarting both devices, etc and nothing worked. I only figured this trick out by accident lol. Reply if anyone gets it to work this way.

Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.

Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't. Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

Auto brightness of iPad mini retina is not working after 7.1.1 update

Auto brightness of my iPad mini retina has stopped working after iOS 7.1.1 update.
The brightness neither automatically reduces nor does it increases as per the change in ambient light conditions.
I have ensured that auto brightness is ON still nothing seems to happen. Pl help.

I had to turn off website restrictions to get it to work.

Ipad mini touch screen not working

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and then see if your touch screen is back.

IPAD MINI TOUCH SCREEN NOT WORKING

Ipad mini touchscreen stopped working. Help?

If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
Again... how's he going to go to any of that when the touchscreen is dead?
My response adds value by eliminating that same copy/paste canned answers when clearly the question wasn't read.
How's your brain working when it's overwhelmingly obvious you missed the part about the TOUCHSCREEN not working...
Again, good advice Dr. Canned Answer... Home button and Power, sure... short of the buttons being broken as well, that might help...
The "if that doesn't work" part was clearly the rest of the waste when he can't get there...
This sums up your advice for fixing the touchscreen when the touchscreen is broken...

IPad mini wi fi not working

Even after ios 6.0.2 update, wi-fi is not working on my brand new iPad mini (Wi-fi+Cellular)which was purchased on 24th December, 2012 in India. Wi-fi is working just fine on other ios devices at home like my iPad2 & iPhone4s.
Please fix this soon.

Update:
Read some other posts and tried this and it works (but a bit flakey):
Shut down router, computer and iPad Mini
Then power them on in the following sequence:
1. Computer and launch iTunes
2. Router
3. Ipad Mini (check Wi-Fi connection OK)
Wait until everything is loaded
ITunes will still not show the device, but on iPad Mini go to Settings/General/iTunes/Wi-Fi Sync
"Sync Now" should no longer be "grayed out", so press it
The device then appeared on iTunes
However(!), when the computer is switched off and on, the device disappears from iTunes, but if you then also switch the iPad Mini off and on, it will be available again (you might still have to go to Sync Now again on the device first)
General comment - Wi-Fi sync is quite slow and won't perform software updates - you'll still need the cable!

IPad Mini - Word Suggestion not working

When I am using Pages on my iPad mini and I spell a work wrong it does not let me correct it, well it does not give me an option to correct it. When I click on the word (pages does indicate a misspelling by underlining it in red) it highlights it, but I have no options (select, copy, define, suggest..etc). Any one know what I can do to fix this problem? Thank you

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. For about 20 seconds or so. See if it'll reboot and then see if the screen works.

IPad mini cover closure not working

The magnetic cover for iPad mini does not put it to sleep on closure. Any suggestions?

Does it matter what side you place the cover on? Try bringing a magnet up to the Ipad also to see if the magnet is not working in the cover. If another magnet works then there is a problem with the cover. I would see about getting it replaced in that event.

After install of ios7 on ipad mini wifi will not work

I have installed ios7 on my mini. After doin so WiFi will not work. Button is greyed out. When I try to erase all content and go back to factory it wants my password and won't do so because it says no internet connection. Had I know this was going to happen I would have left well enough alone. I have tried hard resetting by holding home and off button simultaneously but not working. Anyone have any ideas? This mini is now basically useless to me without internet. I'm really annoyed.

Hello Andy,
1st guess would be an incompatible extension from the previous OS, 2nd would be a reinstall of the OS is needed, but...

Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
Please help!
Stuart

Are both compatible devices / carriers?

Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5. However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad. I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app? Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane. thank you

The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos.
What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone. You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
I hope that helps!

HT4191 My notes disappeared from both my iPad mini and iPhone.

One note from the notes app were deleted from my ipad mini and iphone 4s. I opened up my ipad mini notes app and was looking at the note and all of a sudden it disappeared. I checked other mail accounts and looked on my iphone, but it was also gone from there. My other notes were there but the one i was looking for was gone. I used the search key for it also. Please help!

If it is gone, it is gone.
