  • My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?

    My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?

    Is your keyboard charged?
    If it is, then ...
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    1)  Does your keyboard appear under Devices? 
    2)  Does it appear under Now Discoverable?
    If the answer to (2) is yes, touch it to discover it, and then it should appear under Devices.
    If the answer to (1) is yes, touch it to connect to it.
    If you have done the above and it refuses to connect, then touch the little blue i beside your keyboard's name, and then choose Forget this Device.
    Now turn your keyboard off and then on.  The little light on your keyboard should come on.  See if it appears on your iPad as discoverable. 
    If that doesn't work press the button on the behind the power slider on your keyboard.  The light on the keyboard should flash blue.  Now see if it is discoverable.
    If that still doesn't work Reset your iPad, then turn your keyboard off and on.
    to Reset your iPad:  Hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Let go promptly when the logo appears.  Wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on.  No data will be lost.

  • My iPad won't connect to my iPad mini.  The speaker works fine on my MacBook Air.  Help!

    Help!
    I've been trying to get my Sony SRS-BT5 bluetooth speaker to connect to my iPad mini and the iPad won't recognize it.  It doesn't show up on the list of devices when bluetooth is searching.  I've tried restarting both devices dozens of times.  I've tried it normally, when they are charging, and when they are fully charged.  I've tried it with the NFC turned on and turned off.  I've searched Sony's site and can't find any troubleshooting information.  Although, because the speaker works just fine with my MacBook Air, I think it's a problem with my iPad. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Although it might not help, it would not hurt to reset the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears (15-20 sec).

  • I want to get a bluetooth keyboard for an ipad mini.  Does it matter if its an ipad bluetooth keyboard. dont need the case

    I want to get a bluetooth keyboard for an ipad mini.  The case doesnt matter.  But the one i'm looking at says IPAD or IPAD2  does it matter or will it work with the mini?

    It might, it might not.
    I have this keyboard for my mini and like it a lot.

    If you don't plan on carrying it, the keyboard that is sold for use with the Mac is a great keyboard because it is full size.

  • Hello please hepl me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you

    hello please help me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you

    I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store.  Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

  • I cannot connect my new iPad mini to my iPhone 4S by bluetooth

    Hi there,
    I have just got my iPad mini wifi .
    In the apple store the assistant showed me that it was possible to Bluetooth with my iPhone 4S
    Now I am home I cannot connect the 2 devices .
    I have reset both devices as well but the only device discoverable is my daughter's laptop.
    Her iPhone 5 is not discoverable either.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    Thanks folks,
    Ken

    Other than the Hotspot feautre, there is no way to connect iPad and iPhone through bluetooth, because there's nothing they can do when connected.
    I am assuming what the person at the Apple Store showed you was the Hotspot feature, in which case you need to Turn on Hotspot,  and then turn on Bluetooth.

  • Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
    1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
    2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
    3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
    3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
    i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
    ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
    iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
    all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
    Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
    Can someone out there please help!!!!!
    Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
    Thanks,
    Stacey Bindman

    Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
    1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
    3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
    4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

  • Itunes no longer connects to 5S, ipad Mini retina and ipad 2 after ios 8.02 update

    Since the ios 8 and now 8.02 updates my Itunes does not connect at all to my iphone 5s, ipad mini (retina) and ipad 2.
    iTunes' built in diagnostic sync test says no devices found.
    I plug in the USB and nothing happens.
    USB ports are working fine. All my other USB plug ins still work fine.
    Same computer, same Windows 7 - 64 bit - all updated.
    I did a clean iTunes delete per Apple instructions and then re installed iTunes again per Apple instructions and still nothing.
    I got first a missing DLL error message and then not even a beep when plugging in the cord (yes all Apple accessories).
    Anyone else run into this issue?
    Sheesh I hate updates!
    Thanks!

  • How can I see the total number of books (size of library) on iBooks on my iMac and IPad Mini?

    I have installed iBooks on both my iMac (main library) as well as on my iPad Mini Retina. I can't seem to find where to see the total number of books in each library? Can anyone enlighten me please? I can see the covers, lists etc. but nowhere how many books I have total in each library (Total: X number of books stored) or something like that. Can someone point me where this information is viewable?

    Did you have 'find my iPhone' activated on it? Because if you go to iCloud.com you can log in there and you can remotely lock or wipe your device.  From what I hear, the police won't do anything about going and fetching stolen iPads and iPhones, but if you have find my iphone/ipad/ipod/mac turned on then it will give you a map of where it is. 
    Just keep in mind that sometimes iTunes does ask you for your password regardless, and only a few weeks ago apple brought in security questions, so everyone had to fill in security questions for their iTunes account to make it more secure If all else fails, ring Apple cusomer support and they might be able to bar your account or something, however you may have to make a new account (the might be able to set it up so you have all your previous information on a new account)
    Hope this helps!

  • My new backbeat GO 2 is not recognized by bluetooth service on my ipad mini with ios 7.0.4! Could you help me?

    My new backbeat GO 2 headset is not recognized by bluetooth service of my new ipad mini with ios 7.0.4! It doesńt appear in the list of bluetooth devices. It was working on previous versions! What happens? Could someone help me? Thanks!

    There are a ton of posts on this already if you search the forums.In short...
    Delete all Bluetooth profiles from your device. Do the same if your Bluetooth devices allow for that.
    Setting > Reset Network Settings
    Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Repair your devices
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Connecting usb to ipad mini via lightning camera adapter

    when I connect a 2gb flashdrive to my ipad mini, it says "too much power required" what shall I do?

    I have 3 flash drives and only one of them, the oldest one, gets the too much power message. Is the 2GB quite old? If you buy a newer drive you probably won't get this message.
