Does anyone know the failure rate of the original ipad mini?

I've had four ipad minis fail in eight months.  Apple support replaces them with out any problems, but they never get back to you with the reason for the failure.  We are a retired couple and never take the iPads out of the house, and never abuse them in any way, but for some reason they just fail to turn on.  Anyone else having problems with their mini iPads?

We have had the exact same issue. Just this morning, iPad mini #3 failed. But this time, I checked the receipt and we are 1 month over the 1 year standard apple warrantee. Not sure if they will replace this one, and to be fair, not even sure if I want another iPad mini.
Essentially happens like this, battery is low, requires charging (nowhere near 0%) so we plug it in to the charger it came with. In the morning, it is unresponsive. I try to to the reset (holding power and main button down)- nothing.
I have owned an abundance of apple products, 3 generations of iPhone, iPod, and a iPad 2. 6 other devices that all still work, without issue that are all older than this iPad mini.
What are my chances apple with give me a refund?

  • Does anyone know the original mail font settings?

    Hi all,
    Whilst attempting to change the font size for messages I have received (because it is always so small to read) I accidentally changed the font settings for the other areas of mail (ie the mail list on the left, my own message font etc). I would like to reset and go back to the orginal font settings for mail because it looks weird now. Can anyone help?

    I don't think I changed these...
    Regards,

  • Does anyone know the original UK release date of the Magic Mouse please?

    Hi
    The title says it all.
    Also, do they have serial numbers? Presumably they are covered by normal 12 month warranty.
    Thank you in ancticipation.

    Hi Captfred
    I appreciate that but I cannot remember exactly when I purchased hence the question about when it was released because I thought I had purchased around the release date, in which case, it will not be covered.
    To save a wasted journey and the embarrassment, I was hoping that by entering the serial number online, it would tell me when the warranty runs out but, alas, it doesn't.
    Presumably Applecare will be able to advise on this?

  • How does the original iPad mini perform on iOS 8?

    I have been thinking about getting a new iPad from the iPad 2. I know the original iPad mini and the iPad 2 have similar specs, but the real upgrade I get from it is the wireless technology and the ability to use Handoff. Overall, how does the original iPad mini handle iOS 8? Should I go with that iPad or get the iPad mini 2? I wouldn't get the iPad mini 3 because I don't think Touch ID is necessary for what I want to do on an iPad.
    Overall, I am wondering how iOS 8 performs on the original iPad mini so it can help me choose between the original or the iPad mini 2. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Get the mini 2 when the prices come down. The mini 2 is baically a smaller iPad Air. The improvements over the mini are well worth the money.

    This is the top story at this writing at AppleInsider:
    Like the updated mid-2014 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, Apple's latest 15-inch notebook brings slightly speedier Intel processors. But with memory, graphics and design all carried over from last year, the most substantial change is a $100 price cut.

    Here's the steps to follow if your printer isn't turning on.   
    If you've gone through all those steps and you still don't have power, there are a lot of places that sell a replacement cord and supply for that printer.

  • Does anyone know the default size for 24 in. imac display?

    I inadverently changed the display size on my 24 inch imac. The font in the toolbar at the top of the desktop is larger than I want. Also, when I open windows in different applications, they open larger than the display and have to be downsized in order to see the entire window.
    Does anyone know the default size for this display? Or is there a different way to fix my issues?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Napamike2: The default setting for the 24" is 1920X1200. If that doesn't get you back to the proper display, maybe you have accidentally activated "Zoom". To check go to System Preferences, Universal Access. Check that Zoom is turned off.

  • I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

    I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane...  Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
    Thanks so much!!

    I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
    Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
    Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
    Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.
    Aloha ...

  • Does anyone know the file name of the root ($)?

    RoboSource Control unfortunately is not working correctly and a Rollback caused many topics to be permanently deleted. I'm waiting for approval from IT to get the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 patches applied, but in the mean time we would like to restore our project from server tape backup. Only, I can't find out where the $ root is stored on the server to have it restored.
    Does anyone know the name of the file that is the root? I was expecting to see a file called root or $, but can not locate a file named either.

    Your DB Administrator should be able to recover a TSM backup OF YOUR ENTIRE DATABASE, not the project, from tape.  The database object the DBA is retrieving will not have the $ (or the * sign).  It will be named whatever you named the database when you created the database.
    Your database name is located on the Connection screen.
    Hope it helps...

  • Does anyone know the iso range on the video camera / still camera?

    I'm shopping around for camera's right now, my budget is very limited, and though I suspect almost any camera will have better low-light detection than the iphone 4 (not 4S), I don't know that for sure, because I can't find the iso range in the tech specs, and as we all know, Apple hardware can be surprisingly good. So, does anyone know the iso range for the iphone 4 (not 4S) ?

    Set the pixel aspect ratio in Live Type: Edit > Project Properties. It needs to be at 1:42.

    Does anyone know the cost to repair a accelermeter on. iPod touch 3th gen

    Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for the price listed here:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    Hee is one third-party place.  I do not see a listing for accelormeter replacement.  I would suspect that they would replace the logic board which is expensive but not listed.
