Can you iMessage between iPad mini and a non-apple hone?

Not clear to me whether an iPad mini can iMessage to non-Apple products. Or only mini to iPhone, another iPad etc?if, how to set up. Can't find way to enter phone #

IMessages works only with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
You can add an iPhone number to use as your contact address as long as the phone number is associated with your Apple ID. Settings> Messages>Send & Receive at>Yoy can be reached by iMessages at.
If your phone number is not showing in that settings, sign out of Messages on the iPhone and the iPad Mini, then sign in again on the phone first and then the number should be accessible for you to use on the iPad.
This kb article explains how to link your phone number to Messages and FaceTime.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

How many times can you upgrade your ipad mini?

i have the ipad mini, and i would like to know, how many times you can upgrade? reason being the 3rd gerantion ipodtouch only upgrades once. for an ipad mini can i upgrade more than once, because it would be fair

There is no limit to the number of times an iPad can get an iOS update. Eventually though the iOS will evolve beyond the capabilities of the specific iPad. Tis is already the case for the original iPad. That iPad can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no further. So far all iPads after that continue to receive updates when Apple releases them.

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?

I have an ipad mini. I do not have an iphone or a mac. I want to add my friend's telephone number (she has an iphone) to my contacts so we can use imessage between her iphone and my ipad. How do I do this?

How do I add a friend's phone number for messaging on my ipad? I do not have an iphone.

Hi
To enable imessage on ipad check that imessage is enabled in settings>messages but note that any message that you send from your ipad will be from your email address as you dont have a mobile number linked to imessage.
With everything enabed you should just be able to add contact into your contact list and then message them from there
Hope this helps

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.

How can you tell between Week 37 and Week 38?

Hey everyone. Well it took me some research to find out the difference between week 37 and week 38.
So to clear up with future readers that arent sure, The "week" refers to when the ipod was made.
Anyways, is their a visual difference on the box display? I know you can tell by looking at the serial but im nervous with targets "no return if opened" policy.
And if I did open it, would a warranty (I would buy seperatly) cover that if their were problems?

The week 38 box has Macy Gray on the front. I do not remember who week 36/37 was, but some week 37's had Macy Gray on their box as well. So, the ONLY way to know for sure if you have a week #38 is to look at the "SERIAL NUMBER IS LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE BOX"! You DO NOT have to open the box to see the serial number! So that should resolve Targets issue.
NOTE~~~~ Apple has released a firmware update 1.1.1, which appears to have resolved the screen problems that plagued week 37. However, if you are buying NEW, don't mess around and get a 38!

Mac Mini and a non Apple Wireless Keyboard

I'm getting a Mac Mini but already have a Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard have a hub that is connected via USB. My question is will this keyboard and mouse work with my new Mini?
Thanks in advance!
Chad

I have a mini and a Logitech Cordless Comfort Duo (wireless keyboard and mouse) connected via a KVM switch. I recently switched to Mac, so I'm not sure I know how it's supposed to work, but the Option key seems to behave as the Command key should, and vice versa.
In TextEdit:
Option-Click allows me to select non-contiguous items.
Command-Click allows me to select only the portions of text I click+drag over - without automatically selecting whole lines.
Control-Click mimics right-clicking the mouse.
Is this how it should work?

Can you switch between AT&T and Verizon 3g on the Ipad?

My wife purchased me the Ipad2 32g 3g for the holidays. It is set up for AT&T. Is there a way to switch to Verizon?

If you are within the return period, return the iPad and get the Verizon version. But be advised that if you might travel outside the US with your iPad, GSM which is the technology AT&T uses is much more used in other countries and would give you the ability to purchase a Micro-Sim outside the US and use 3G service. Verizon's CDMA technology does not use Micro-Sim's.
