Given the size and of the iPad Mini Wider is better. Why don't Apple design the next iPhone to be a bit wider?

After using one of the competition's wide screen phone, I found myself using it more then my iPhone. Though it wasn't as good of a user experience as my iPhone, the wider viewing display grabbed my attention. Viewing video content on their wider phones, sadly is much better in my opinion. The reason, the content that display at an 16x9 ratio. Wider is the way to go, truth to this is found in Reviews regarding the new iPad mini. The iPad mini has been said to have a perfect size screen when viewing content and playing Multitouch games. It has a better screen resolution as compared to it competitor. The iPad 3 and 4 have gorgeous Retina displays. Why not have a wider iPhone that's both thin and wider so we can enjoy our digital media we've purchased from Apple to have that same comfort level we get from the iPad? Having a display to be available at a resolution that's at a 16x9 Ratio is better regarding content. I love the iPhone, we need to finally go wider on the iPhone. Content viewing is being effected by the screen size on such a magnificent device. If Apple posted up a vote regarding their content displayed on their iOS devices, I'm sure people would agree that the resolution found on the iPad and iPad mini are much superior when viewing Apple's video content then from what you get from both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not because they are smaller, it's the width of the screen then the mire size. Apple's video content is around about an 16x9 ratio as like most if not all of the content found on iTunes and the Apps store. I've found myself wanting an iPad mini as a substitute to my iphone. Wider viewing is best for Apple's video content, working documents and game play. I would surely be happier with a wider screen phone then to travel with both devices to be able to enjoy my media.

I don't know why you wasted your time and bothered to post this in a user to user technical forum.

I have an I phone 4S and I usually back it up threw I Cloud but since my phone is pretty old and has been shutting off on me I decided to back it up in I tunes. I connected the phone and clicked Back Up Now. When it was done I picked up the phone and tried to open an app and discovered that all of my apps have been restored as if I had just down loaded them from the app store. So I lost all progress on them. Is there anything I can do to change it back? And I don't understand what I did wrong.

This means the iPhone has not been connected or synced with your computer since the passcode lock was enabled on the iPhone and too late now.

I am travelling in the USA and have an iPad mini, I would like utilise data for on the go but can not find a SIM card and prepaid provider unless I havs US credit card, I can get a ekit Global data plan but are expensive for frequent usage ? Options

Does anyone have any options.

I have not used them, but you can try: http://mobileaccessusa.com/mifi_rent.html
I have successfully used comparable services like this in Europe. Google "MiFI rental USA". The advantage of using a MiFi device is that you can connect multiple devices at once - usually up to 5.

I just got a replacement for my broken iPad mini from asurion, and I backed it up. But the problem is, my broken iPad mini has iOS 7 and all my data is in iOS 7 form, and I want to transfer it to the new iPad mini. How would I do it?

I've just received the replacement today, and I restored it from a backup I made back in July when my old iPad didn't have iOS 7. And I've updated the new iPad to iOS 7, but I don't know how to transfer the data I have on my old iPad mini in iOS 7 format into the new already backed up iPad mini. Can someone help me?

Every time I try and use iTunes or the App Store on my iPad Mini, I keep getting the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". However, on my iPod Touch 4th Generation - signed into the same account - it works with no problems. Can anyone help? Thanks!

As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

I downloaded the new os7 on my Ipad mini. Now in order to use the ipad I need to use a passcode. I cannot get pass the login screen and I never set up my ipad to use a passcode. What can I do?

I downloaded the new os7 on my ipad mini. Now in order to use the Ipad, I need to enter a passcode. I cannot get pass this screen. I did
not set it up to use a passcode. What can I do? I am not too computer savy.

I have the same problem. I upgraded to iOS7, entered my usual passcode when prompted in setup, and when I tried to access my iPad after installation was finished it denied my passcode. I can't connect to any internet to erase it or anything because the new iOS hasn't yet been configured to a wifi network, so I can't backup from anything either.
When I connect the iPad to iTunes, it tells me that Find My iPad must be disabled on my iPad before backup or restore can continue - and I can't access anything beyond the lock screen of my iPad at all because it refuses to accept my passcode, so I can't get to Find My iPad.

Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3? How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

Why is the notification center different on ipad mini and iPhone?

For instance.. Weather shows in the notification center on ipad mini, and not on iPhone. Also, calculator shows on iPhone control center and not ipad mini. I can understand why the calculator doesn't display as an option for the ipad mini as the calculator isn't installed by default (for whatever reason), but why would weather show up on the ipad mini (where no native app exists), but not on the iPhone?

Yes and Yes.
When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
Notifications view - on
Today view - on
Today summary - on
Calendar day view - off
Reminders - on
Stocks - off
Tomorrow summary - off
Sort by Time
The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
Thanks for taking the time to help me!

I have a bright spot on the screen of just purchased iPad mini 32. What is the cause and solution?

I have a bright spot about quarter inch circular on the display of just purchased iPad mini 32 g . Does anyone know the cause and solution?

If you just purchased the tablet, take it back to an apple store and have it replaced.

Why won't my iPad mini download music or video's? I click the download button and it will say its downloading. Then once finished it will just disappear? How can I fix this problem?!?!

Are you using the same apple ID and password?
it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want? You will still be asked for your password.

How to extract the size and date from a given file

Hi,
I want to extract the size and date of a file (it can be either a video, audio or text file) that the user points to the location of. But I am not sure how. Does Java have an api that can do this? If not is there some other way of doing this? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Have a look at java.io.File, specifically
public long lastModified()
This format returned (I find) is nasty, so then use java.util.Date (or java.sql.Date, look the same on the surface to me) to format it.
Cheers,

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

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 drooping 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.
