Brand new iPad Mini Retina- dead out of box

Just got a brand new ipad Mini retina and it won't turn on. Have tried all kind of reset button combos and nothing. Any suggestions or is it really dead? Have an appt at Apple Store in the morning, but would love to resolve it before then.

It's possible that its battery is totally dead. Try plugging it in and let it sit for an hour or two and see if there are any signs of life. Even if it does come back, I would still keep that appointment and get it checked out because normally iPads have a charge when you unbox them.

  • Brand new iPad Mini Retina won't charge when its connected to my PC

    I just opened up my brand new iPad Mini Retina and attempted to plug it into my PC and set it up. The iPad quickly recognizes my PC, briefly displays the charge symbol then immediately displays "not charging." I have attempted to plug the iPad into the wall, and it charges just fine. All the cables I'm using are straight out of the box which I bought right from the Apple Store so I know its not any of those. My laptop is fully charged and also plugged into the wall, so I know its not my computer. I also double checked everything by plugging my iPhone 5 into my computer (with the new iPad lightening cable) and it charges/syncs just fine. Im stumped, please help me fix my brand new iPad Mini Retina.

    I know you said PC, for for others that have an iMac with USB 3 ports, they can put out extra power to charge an iPad.  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US)

  • Below this app Iphoto logo word "waiting" been there for 10 days. I have a brand new Ipad mini Retina display with A7chip and M7

    I purchased a New Ipad Mini the latest with A7 chip and M7 Retina Display. I cannot download any apps. When I click apps Iphoto will appear .
    I dont need to use Iphoto. I want to download Candy Crush Saga.  And below my Iphoto logo there's a word " waiting". Isnt it that Iphoto is built in to this Ipad Mini? I want to download Imovie apps or any apps but I cant..What should I do Apple..

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again to download the app of your choice.

  • Brand new ipad wont turn on out of box

    I bought a new ipad 16 gig from bestbuy tonight and when I opened it up, it will not power on. Connected it to usb and computer wont recognize it. tried charging with the wall charger and usb cord for about 10-25 min and nothing came on the screen, no red battery etc... Anyone have any other tips before I return the unit as defective?

    May as well try a hard reset: press & hold both the Home (round one at bottom center of the screen) and the Sleep (small button on the top of the case) buttons for 10+ seconds. If successful, you'll see the white Apple logo appear in the screen and the boot process will continue. If not, time to head back to the Geek Squad.

  • New ipad mini retina: Safari crashes every time I hit the plus icon to open a second page

    Brand new iPad mini retina, safari crashes every time it try to open a second window

    Cleared and cleared then rebooted. Worked like a charm. Multiple windows open fine now, hardest part was navigating my way back here. Thanks dido ones... Bah auto correct diavonex.... Anyway, much appreciated. Just surprised it didn't work right straight out of the box,  but possibly a hiccup from starting this device from a backup of my iPhone.

  • I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out.  How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

    I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?  If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought?  Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase?  Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

    Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now.  Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there.  Any ideas??

    Hi Tolmivooz,
    So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
    Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
    Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Best,

  • Brand new iPad mini won't turn on

    I just got a brand new iPad mini not even 24 hours ago. I've taken absolute perfect care of it and its been working fine, but I was just listening to music on it with the charger plugged in, and all of a sudden it just blacks out. I've tried everything including pressing the on/off and home buttons at the same time but nothing works. Please help!!!!!!!!

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • My brand-new iPad Mini has Siri unresponsive. This happens quite frequently and I find it very frustrating. I have a strong Wi-Fi connection. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

    My brand-new iPad Mini has Siri unresponsive. This happens quite frequently and I find it very frustrating. I have a strong Wi-Fi connection. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

    Let me also say that this has been functioning this way out of the box...this is not new or a result of cookies or a full cache.

  • I need help.  My three boys have brand new iPad mini's and I would like to set them up.  I would like to create one new apple ID and have it shared by all three.  This way they can share content (apps, music).  How do I do that?

    Looking for an information management solution.  I have three boys that have brand new ipad mini's.  I would like to set them up to manage information the easiest way. 
    My first thought was to use my apple ID for their apps and purchases.  This would give me the advantage of seeing everything downloaded and be able to monitor this closely.  The disadvantage to me, was that they would see all of my contracts, my apps, and my music. 
    My other thought was to create one new apple ID and to share that among the three boys.  This way I would not have to worry about my information being on their ipads. 
    This is a very confusing situation for me.  My goal is seperate my stuff from my kids stuff.  Appreicate input from anyone who has in-depth experience with this as it applies to apple ID, icloud ID, and any detailed explaination of how to do this would be appreiciated.  Thanks. 

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

  • A "brand new" ipad mini 3 came with a photo

    Received a "brand new" ipad mini 3 around a week ago.  However, it came with a photo in the Photos folder that was taken on November 23, 2014. The photo looks like a screenshot with the QR code along with the ipad model code and the serial number of the ipad. It also says 99% in the photo. Did anybody run into this?

    Sounds almost like an internal-use image (given the info that was in the image) that was not deleted or mistakenly taken before packaging. Did you try and scan the QR code (with another device that has the capability) and see what the QR code comes up as? (if it's internal use, it may not come up with anything)
    Regardless, that's the first I hear of it.

  • Bought new iPad mini retina but cant find install free iWork apps like Keynote. Where can I find/install Them?

    When configuring my new iPad mini retina last weekend I first ignored the questions on the installation of the free iWork apps.
    Now I would like to install them but I only find the paid version in the App Store. What am I donning wrong. Or was it a missed opportunity and bad luck for me.

    I had exactly the same problem but my son told me I had to update to the most up to date ios first.  Currently it's only got version 6.1 on it, and it didn't say there was an update available but when I click "check for updates" it started to install version 7.  I believe you need version 7 installed first, then if you go to the Store, it will say the software is free to download.   I'll check back once it's finished installing the update and let you know. 

  • Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY

    Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY
    I hate to, but I feel I am a guinea pig at 700.00 a crack 128gb mini.
    I have 4 of them and THEY ALL DO IT. I have restored, setup as new ipad but nothing works.
    also, the colors on the new ipad mini seem dull and off. I have a plum colored car and it looks brown on the mini.
    Giving up...

    i bought an iPad Mini Retina earlier this week
    came back home, updated to iOS 7.0.4 and it crashed many times, while browsing settings but also some apps
    i had it exchanged because of a yellow tint on the screen
    got a new one, under 7.0.3, also crashed several times, updated to 7.0.4, still crashing
    wondering if the new 64-bit processor has something to do with the code used for iOS

  • My brand new iPad mini won't rotate I have done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested.

    My brand new iPad mini won't rotate done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested such as off/on, reset, reboot, double checked lock off. It did work and I changed wallpaper and stopped motion, not sure if this related

    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Your iPad will reboot on its own. You will have to enter all of the device settings again, but no data will be lost.
    I eould not spend a whole lot more time trying to fix this, if the device is really brand new. I would take it back to where you bought it, bring the box, the charger, the cable and your receipt and if they can't get it fixed, return it and get another one.
