Can I use the apple remote on the iPad mini or iPhone 5s?

Why won't the apple remote I just bought wont' work on my iPhone 5s or iPad mini? It works on my Mac great, but that's not where I need it! What a waste, I spent all day trying to set this up. Nothing in the manual saying it does NOT WORK ON other components. It clearly states it DOES WORK ON OTHER! grrrr!! I even had to reinstall my backup as I accidentenly pressed "forget this device" and could not get bluetooth to work again. Not user friendly at all. Will return for refund if I cannot get it to work!

No ios device ever apart from appletv have had an ir sensor some docks have ir but never the devices

Sure. Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans.

Can I use the iPad 1 or iPhone 4 with a Samsung 8000 Series HDTV?

I am trying to connect my iPad to a HDMI input on my Samsung Series 8000 HD LED TV without success. Can this only be done with an iPad 2? I am using an Apple dongle to link to the HDMI cable which seems to work fine at Radio Shack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are perfectly fine using an over rated good quality charger like the genuine iPad charger. It will not charge your phone faster than the 1A iPhone charger though. This is because the phone will only ever draw up to 1A from any charger, no more. It will be faster than trying to charge from a computer USB port which is limited to 0.5A.
Beware of cheap Chinese knockoff chargers. These are poorly regulated, i.e. they may put out more than 5V DC or be electrically noisy with large voltage spikes. They also generally have very poor safety design and pose an electrocution and fire risk.

The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad. Also changed password. Nothing works! I can't use the iPad like this!

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!

This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

If you're referring to this dock:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE&mco=MTg1ODE1Mjc
it is not a Bluetooth keyboard so can't be used with the laptop. And the keyboard dock was originally designed for the curved back of the iPad1. So while it does appear to work with the iPad2, some people report that it's a little loose and sometimes get intermittent disconnections with the connector.
As for Bluetooth keyboards, some can only be paired to one device. To use with two computers, you may have to un-pair from the first device, the re-pair to the second device. Some keyboards can "switch" without un-pairing, but you have to research to ensure the model you want will do that. Depending on your usage, it may be more worthwhile to get separate keyboards.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad. Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad. Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi. I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel. Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth? I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

Both the iPad Air and iPhone 5C use a nano-SIM. Physically, they will work, but your operator may have some restriction. You should check with them.
