Does the 12 Watt USB adapter hurt the iPad mini's battery in any way?

Hey. I am looking to buy a 12 watt USB power adapter because my iPad mini takes about 8-12 hours to do a full charge with the 5 watt that was included. Does the 12 watt adapter hurt the battery of the iPad mini in any particular way? (i.e. battery life/battery health) Thanks o:

I wouldn't use anything different to the accessories that Apple includes in the packages.

Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini. is there any way to recover? unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud

Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini. is there any way to recover? unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud. there are several third party app claiming that they can be used to recover my notes. are those true?

Unless you synced them with an email account or backed them up somewhere, it's doubtful. You may end up paying money for an app that cannot guarantee anything. Sorry.

I dont want my folder to automatically close on iPad mini. Is there any way to stop it? It seems Apple likes you to click click click your way to the most simplest tasks

I have folders on my iPad mini that group specific things such as weather and news in one folder, game apps in another folder etc. When I go into my news and weather, for an example, and chose a news I find when I close that news, it also closes the folder. I want to go to the next news application but I can't because the folder closes and I have to open the folder again and then I get to pick the next app. I feel like all I do is click click click on this iPad. I find it to be very ridiculously inefficient and shortsighted when it comes to getting from one place to another.

I'm not sure what you are doing but on my iPad running iOS 7.1 I do not see that behavior. If I open a folder, start an app, and then close that app by clicking the Home button I am returned to the app screen with the app folder still open and ready to select another app.

Is there any way to View video with HTML5 video browser, as from wikipedia articles, on my IPad mini?, Is there any way to View video with HTML5 video browser, as from wikipedia articles, on my IPad mini?

I do a lot of research using Wikipedia articles. Sometimes those articles have video attached. When I click on the play button of the image, it opens a floating window with the first frame of the video, but it's not moving. A thin banner at the top of it me: "For a better video playback experience we recommend a [ HTML5 video browser". And touching the play button ( hoping it might play anyway) has no effect. It will not play.
Is HTML5 a PC/Windows only format? Or is there an App that will alow me to use these videos on my iPad mini? I've spend 6 hours already trying to find out what I can do about this, and I've made zero progress. I've checked out a handful of apps in the app store, and don't even know what I'm looking at. I got the Wikipedia app for mobile devices, and it doesn't offer the videos in the truncated articles it provides. I've spoken to several Apple techs at the Applecare phone number, and no one there seems to know anything about it.
surely, I can't be the only one with this issue. Please comment, please help. Thank you all.

Dear Bob,
I downloader a VLS Streamer from the Apple app store. It requires some kind of helper software to run, which, as far as I can tell from the video at the developer's site, allows one to download content from one's mobile device to their computer. Since I don't have a compatible computer for my iPad to link to, the instructions don't help my situation. I emailed them with my query and will probably hear from them sometime this week.
I've lived with this problem for the 3 months I've had my iPad, and I'll keep after it until I have a solution. But right now, I've run out of steam. If this lead helps me to resolve my issue, I'll come back and HELPFUL or RESOLVED every response you've given. I'm very grateful for your help. Sorry I'm so utterly clueless.
Thanks once again. Please don't cringe if I get back to you another day.

My ipad mini was just replaced , any way to recover photos?

I bought an ipad mini for my wife. For some unknown reason it simply went bad. Apple just sent a replacement. Needless to say all her photos are gone. My ipad is backed up on my iMac , I thought hers was too through iCloud. I can't locate her mini on the iMac. Did my lack of knowledge cost her all her pics or can they be found somewhere? Thanks!!

First make sure the replacement iPad is running the same or higher version of iOS as the old one. (If you aren't sure what version of iOS it's running you can check by going to Settings>General>About>Version.) If it isn't, you'll need to update it first. Then, to restore the iCloud backup you need to start by erasing the iPad Mini. If you have any newer data on it that is not contained in the backup you'll need to save that first. When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad Mini and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of the old iPad Mini to restore from.
Be sure the iPad Mini is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Not really.
Technically, with some USB drives (I've had a 50% success rate) you can import photos or videos off the drive - thi those photos or video follow a very strict naming convention.
But you cannot import anything but photos or video and there is zero support to write off the iPad to the flash drive....so while it technically may work, it's so limited to effectively not work.

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.

Probably not normally, Apple has removed some of the hidden features of the USB dongle via a software update for iPad. One of those features was playing host to hard drives, keyboards, etc.

I need some help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off. She has lost the iTunes icon because of this. Anybody know what to do? Thanks

Help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off. She can't use iTunes because of them being turned on. I have tried backing it up to a laptop and then restoring it to factory settings but you need the pass code to do this....any ideas how I can turn it off or reset it, anything that might help its driving me potty...
Many thanks

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

I put the Bt WiFi app on my iPad Mini and now I can't connect to the internet. Please Help

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
