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.
Regards.

Can the heat generated within the iPad mini w/ Retina Display damage the iPad?

My iPad mini with retina display gets hot while charging or multitasking or using it for 5-6 continuous hours. It has a TPU material cover on it and sometimes the heat can be felt on the cover. So, if it keeps on heating like this is there a possibility of damaging my iPad? And also can you please tell me the maximum no. Of continuous hours I can use my iPad. Can 5-6 hours of continuous playback damage the. iPad ?

The ipad has heat sensors in it.
If the iPad reaches a certain temp, it will shut down to avoid damage.

Which should I buy, the iPad mini with retina display or the iPad Air?

I Was thinking of buying an iPad but I'm not to sure which one to buy. They both have good reviews and they both look good but from anybody else's point of view which one would be better to buy?
help?
thankyou.

Depends upon what you will be using it for. If you expect to be doing a lot of on-screen typing then the larger iPad with the larger screen/keyboard may be better, if one of the main uses will be as an ebook reader then the smaller-lighter Mini might be better. I don't know what country that you are in but in the US the Mini is $100 cheaper, which could be used for a cases, apps, music etc
Do you have a local store that has both in so that you can try both ?

Want to change my16giga byte ipad mini with retina display to the 32giga one because i think its capacity is insufficient. So could i change to 32giga by giving an extra charge. I bought 16giga ipad mini on thanksgivingday, maybe 30. November

If bought directly from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online store, and is still within the 14 day return period Apple Offers you can take it back and get a full refund which you can then use towards buying the other version.
If its already past the 14 day period then you won't be able to return it for a refund no.
If you did not buy it from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online Store you will have to consult with the store you bought it from about their return policies.

When will iPad Mini w/ Retina Display get the full phone capabilities?

I had hoped Apple would have been ahead of the curve and add those capabilities. Are you that worried about protecting the IPhone that you allow yourself to fall behind Samsung and others? I have been a strong believer in and supporter of Apple products. In many areas I'm thrilled at your leadership, not with iPad Mini with Retina Display. It is the perfect device to marry phone and ipad (tablet) capabilities.

This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here.
If you wish to offer suggestions to Apple use the Feedback link.
Personally I don't see the practicality of a 8 inch phone. How many peple do you see actually using an 8 inch tablet as their primary phone? Is there really a market there?

Is the ipad mini 2 the same as the ipad mini with retina display?

I see an ipad mini 2 and an ipad mini with retina display. Is it the same unit called 2 different ways?

Yes, and no. Basically the iPad Mini has currently 3 generations.
The Second and Third generations also called iPad Mini 2 and 3, have Retina Displays. The First generation one, does not.
So it could be referring to either, but most likely it does in fact refer to the iPad Mini 2. (or second generation) that does feature a Retina Display.

Where is the light sensor on the iPad mini with retina display?

Recently I purchased an iPad mini with retina display. I purchased a third party case and the brightness doesn't seem to change with the case on which leads me to believe that the case is covering a sensor. Please can someone tell me where the sensor is?

I haven't been able to find out with a Google search, so the best thing you can do is to take it out of the case and cover any holes you see in the body of the device to see which one it is.

When is the ipad mini with retina display launching

Yeah I'm thinking of buying an Ipad mini but I don't know whether to wait for when it comes out with retina display because I don't want to wait particularly long

We are fellow users, we won't know if/when there might be an iPad Mini with retina display until if/when Apple announce something.

When is the ipad mini with retina display coming out?

Dear people of Apple,
I was wondering if any time soon there will be a ipad mini with the screen updated to retina display coming out soon?
If you have any guesstamate answers please write back!
thanks,
Keroparakeet

Apple has not announced any new versions of the iPad mini. And we, your fellow users, are not allowed to speculate in these forums. We'll just have to wait and see.

I am a student working on a project for school and I need to know the bandwidth options for the iPad mini with retina display

I am working on a project where I am required to introduce a new product for consideration in the hospital setting. I have chosen the iPad mini, and have been able to locate the information that I need except for the bandwidth options. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know what you mean by "bandwidth options". If you mean the frequencies and bands the iPad can use with cell carriers, those are listed in the Wireless and Cellular area of the tech specs. For iPads sold in the US, see:
http://www.apple.com/ipad-mini/specs/
If that's not what you meant, please post back and clarify what you mean by "bandwidth options".

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

What is better for college? An iPad air or an iPad mini with retina display?

I'm currently a junior in high school and I'll be graduating in the summer of 2015. My parents, well mostly dad, are planning on buying me the iPad air with 128 GB of memory. I got curious and went to look at the price and compare models and I saw that the iPad mini with retina display was the same as the iPad air, the only difference is the size. Since I saw that it was cheaper I was thinking on telling my parents to buy me that instead of the iPad air because it is more costy and my family isn't really the rich kind of people. I will be only using the iPad for school and nothing else since I have my iPod to play games on and stuff so it will only be used for purely educational purposes. Plus I've been hearing around that the iPad air is not that great and stuff because it has a bigger screen and such. Personally for me, I do not care about the screen size I just care about the price for my parents' sake because I don't like it when they have to spend a lot of money. So can you please help me decide on which to get and why it would be better than the other? Please and thank you.

Unless you are going to store many thousands of high resolution photos and LOTs of movies or videos, you don't need a 128GB storage. Save some $ and get a smaller capacity.

Safari crashing on iPad mini (with retina display).

I'm a 4 month owner of the iPad mini (with retina display). I really find it really disgusting that Apple knows their Safari (and other browsers Mercury & Chrome) on the iPad without warning keep crashing to the home screen. IOS 7.1. Apple exchanged my tablet for they said a new one? However, as soon as I started using it (an hour later) at home same thing, CRASH CRASH CRASH NO APPS INSTALLED!!! There are reports of the same crashing also on the i5's...
I'm also on the web looking for a tablet replacement that does not require me to buy an app so I can view all flash without have to find a work around...
