Can the ipad mini be read in sunlight

Can the new ipad mini be read in sunlight

It's not going to be easy to see in bright sunlight, this is the same for any device with a backlit LCD screen.  This isn't the same type of screen used on e-readers like Kindle which can be read in bright light without issue.

  • Can the iPad Mini restriction settings control downloading books on the Kindle Reader App?

    I have a lot of books on my Kindle Account, and I'm about to give my kids iPad Minis.  I want to put the Kindle Reading App on their devices, as I have a bunch of books that they love on my account, but I also have lots of books that I don't want them reading, just yet.  Can the restrictions settings on the Mini create passcode access if they want to download a book on their own?

    The restrictions that you use in the settings are only for content from the App Store, iTunes and the iBooks Store. As far as I know, there is no way to restrict access to the Kindle books in the settings. I have the Kindle app myself, but I don't know if there is a way to do what you want to do in the app itself or in your Amazon.com account.

  • Can the Ipad mini back cover get scratched?

    I was thinking about getting a smart cover for my ipad mini (black version) however am worried about the back being scratched. Currenty using the apple SmartCase however cost £55. Thinking about changing the colour but dont really want to pay £55 if the cover which is £35 does the same job.

    Have a look at these, I have 3 and they work well.

  • Will the ipad mini work with directv app

    can the ipad mini connect to the directv receiver for the app to work

    If the App connects to the receiver for anything, the Mini will have no issue. Operationally iPads are all the same. They all do the same thing, and as such any App on one will work exactly the same on another iPad that supports the same App.

  • Does the Ipad mini w/ retina display offer the ability to have microsoft office installed?

    Can the ipad mini have the ability to have microsoft office installed? Looking at possibly purchasing one for school.

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. As UK-Max said, Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) which will be free with the purchase any new iPad; they can be purchased separately for older iPads. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

  • Can the ipad screen get damaged with cleaning products?

    Can the ipad mini screen be damaged if i use a cleaning product? (Lysol,wet wipes,....) And if so,how can the damage be noticed and repaired?

    iPad
    Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad's screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

  • Just got the iPad mini. Why can't I view my Facebook profile? (I'm using the Facebook app) I can open my News Feed but when I go to my page, it comes out with a notice "page doesn't exist, or you don't have permission to view this page" HELP!

    It's frustrating to not be able to view my own Facebook page using the iPad mini. I have the iPad 1 and the Facebook app works fine there, I can see my personal FB page with 1. Is this characteristic of the iPad mini only?

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
    If none of those work, delete the app and install it again.

    I have tried back ups and  restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

    You cannot.

  • I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?

    I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?

    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.

  • I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I'm a bit lost - you first say
    "The only file(s) I can sometimes get it to recognize are the ones shot with a camera onto an SD card"
    then you say
    " If I take an unused SD card and record video with my camera, it will see, and import the file to the Photo app."
    In the first statement, aren't you using an SD card in the camera?  And what do you mean by "unused SD card"?    Cameras put their files in specific folders on a card, and your device only reads photos and video from those folders, not from anywhere else on the card.

  • Can you turn the iPad mini into a "phone" ?

    Is it possible to turn the Ipad mini into a "phone" ?

    If you have Vonage for your home phone, you can get the free Vonage Extensions app that links to your home phone number.  It is a great app and it works on the iPad and will not incur any additional charges.  They also have options that work without a home account.  Another option is the Free Calls with magicJack app that lets you make free calls to telephones in the US and Canada.  If you just want a free over-the-top service to call or text people who use the same app, and you don't need to call landlines, I recommend Viber.  Of course, all these options only work when your iPad has an internet connection, but they are all free and worth trying out.
