HT1212 Ipad mini password issue

My daughter, who is 8, must have changed her password. She has disabled her ipad mini and I am not able to get itunes to recognize the ipad mini. Is there any other way to reset the password? We just bought it on Sat!

recovery mode
open itunes on computer
plug cable into computer not iOS device
turn device off
hold home button and plug cable into IOS device. do not release home button until an itunes graphic appears on IOS device.
look to computer should have message about recovery mode click ok and restore

I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago, and when trying to access it today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct.Additional details:I was last using Kik messenger before it stopped working.I was sitting less than two foot away from the PS3 my brother was playing.I'm 14 but I'm not some spoilt kid who gets iPhones and iPads from his parents to mess around with, I have got important coursework and homeworks on there.Any help would be great Thanks.

Hello ConfusedLlama
If the password is not working to get into your iPad mini, you would need to follow the steps to restore it. If you have a back up through iCloud or through iTunes, you can restore from that back up and it would not bring back the passcode unless it is encrypted.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

IPad mini region issues?

Yo,
I have been searching for this and I only found question about this of years ago, so I decided to make a discussion about it. I am going on vacation to USA and I'm planning to buy an iPad mini there.
I got a few wuestions:
1. I live in Europe. Is it possible to setup the device in my language (dutch)?
2. Can I download apps directly to my iPad?
3. If so, can I get access to the Dutch apple store? (I think so cause I can access American app stores too)
4. Can I download any european/dutch apps?
5. Aside from not being able to register my iPad, will tuere be any other issues?
Thanks :)

Here are some answers I hope may help you for some of your questions:
1) When you first purchase a device it will have you go through a set-up assistant. One of the first questions will ask you what language you would like for your iPad; you would be able to select dutch as language.
2)Yes you can download app directly through your iPad on the App store that comes pre-installed on the device.
3)To access Dutch app store you will want to change your account settings and change the region. To do this:
Tap Settings on the Home screen.
Tap iTunes & App Stores.
Tap on your Apple ID. (If you are not signed in, enter your Apple ID and password, and tap Sign In.)
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your Apple ID password.
Once signed in it will allow you to choose different regions.
4) You can now download european/dutch apps as long as you have changed the region on your apple ID. **Note: some apps are only offered in specific regions**

IPad Mini Charge issue and Other

Alright so here is the deal, A couple of months ago, my apple lightning charge cord was ruined. I have had my iPad Mini for over a year now, so its not like I got it yesterday. I had not had a problem with it with the exception that sometimes videos play the audio normally but the display is like one frame per five seconds. That's besides the point, this morning when I woke up, the battery was at 9% and of course I plugged it in to charge. When I plugged it in, no ding noise to inform me its charging, no little lightning bold near the battery, nothing. nada. zip. I was just about to flip my lid, (Because this is a new charger and no where near as used as the previous) I decided to proceed to my moms room and grab her iPad mini and connect it to my charger. Low and behold, it began to charge. So, I decided, "Ok well maybe there is a connection issue." I took My iPad into her room and connected my iPad to her charger. IT began to charge.
This is extremely annoying, and I decided to connect my iPad to my computer with her cord, to grab my photos. Thinking ahead of time, to say worst case scenario that I would have to restore it or something. Alright, so I was hesitant to connect my iPad mini to my computer since last time, it put a ungodly amount of apps I had not used since three years ago and since then deleted (From my iPod Touch) along with several photos. After this had happened I had deleted the apps, but when I went to delete the photos it would not allow it. I would select and it would not give me the option to delete. Since, I did connect it to the itunes in my computer it did some funky stuff and then when it asked to back up i said "sure back it up from cloud." Cause why not right. It got about halfway through before it said "Oh there is a problem with your crap." To which I reply "Dude come onnn of all days! I just want to relax and listen to music cause I just upchucked twice and dont feel good." The iPad mini didn't care.
All joking aside, I've come to the conclusion that there is something a little more wrong with my device other than it wont charge with the charger I had just bought it, even though it had been charging with it for the last couple of months.

my laptop and my mobile is working,why not ipad mini .......sometimes the name of wifi appers and when i try to enter password of the wifi ,it says sorry unable to join the network ......what is the simple and best solution for this

I don´t remember my ipad mini password. What can I do??

I need help. I can´t remember the password of my ipad mini . What can I do??

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPad is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

what should i do if i forgot my ipad mini password

Follow the directions in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If your device is disabled because you tried too many times, you need recovery mode. You'll need to try this a few times to get it to work, so be patient:

Next time, write down your passwords and store in a safe place.

IPad Mini Syncing Issues

I have an iPad mini with retina display, yesterday I wanted to add some music to my iPad, I've had an iPod before so I think I am reasonably experienced with syncing using iTunes. After launching iTunes it recommended me to update to 11.1, I did so and then rebooted my laptop. Once I had logged back in again I launched iTunes. I plugged in my iPad expecting iTunes with a small bit of delay detect my device and then I would begin syncing. However after waiting a few minutes a window eventually popped up saying it was unable to connect to my device as it had "timed out". I am currently using a Home Share to listen to my music but it's a pain as I have to always have iTunes on.
Are there any tips out there that can resolve this issue???

Hey, try the steps below:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open Finder, and go to wherever your iPhoto library is stored (usually ~/Pictures).
3. Right-click on the iPhoto Library and select “Show package contents”
4. Delete the “iPod Photo Cache” folder
5. Close the finder window
6. Open iPhoto. It might take some time for it to reload the library, but it’s ok.
7. When iPhoto finishes loading the library and you can browse your photos, close iPhoto
8. Open iTunes, goto your device’s Photo tab, and make shure the Sync photos options is UNCHECKED
9. Sync your device
10. After the sync finishes, CHECK the sync photo option. It will ask if the photos already in the device should be overwritten. I anserwered yes
11. Select which photos, events, albums or faces you want to sync,
12.- Sync your device again, and it should do it, including your photos

Ipad mini syncing issues with itunes : (x) items could not be synced

I'm using ipad mini (non retina) 16GB with itunes 11.2.2.3. I had downloaded some games from itunes like asphalt 8, GT racing 2, infinity blade, real racing 3, dead trigger 2, and apps like garageband. When i tried to sync these games with my ipad. everything happened normally like
syncing apps to 'superhornet's ipad' (step 6 of 6)
copying 1 of 8: asphalt 8
and later 'finished syncing'
but after syncing is finished on itunes. A message appears on the ipad saying '14 items could not be synced. see itunes for more information'
there is no message in the itunes that would tell what issue happened here.
Due to this, the games i mentioned above does not get installed on my ipad. all i get is their greyed out icons which shows their name below them, when i touch any of those greyed icons they start showing 'installing' which never really completes.
I have also tried to install apps by ifunbox, but it showed some error when i tried to sync those games.
This issue doesn't happen with all the games. I had also downloaded games like 'the sandbox, ACR drift, shadow gun and they were installed without any issues.
I had never played any game on my ipad. so far i had only used it as an ebook reader, video player and internet browser. so i have no idea if this problem existed before.
and yes my computer is authorized, and i successfully sync all videos, music, ebooks with it.
my PC's specs:
AMD phenom II X4 B25
4GB RAM DDR3 133MHz
AMD radeon HD6770 1GB GDDR5
Gigabyte GA78LMT-S2P
my ipad is running iOS 7.1
and itunes version is 11.2.2.3 (updated yesterday expecting it would solve the issues)
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this

Found another thread with a few possible solutions. The one that worked for me was to delete the ipod photo cache in the "Pictures" folder. Here's the thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3390697

IPad mini wifi issues

hey guys.
hopefully someone can help me out here. I have an iPad mini that I've had for a year now. Up until about 3 months ago everything was working fine, now for some reason my iPad intermittently disconnects from wifi while streaming.
a little about my situation. My only source of internet is via my cell phones mobile hotspot. (Droid bionic) The only time I have issues with the wifi connection is when I'm trying to steam video Via netflix, html5, dolphin browser etc. only video stream that doesn't seem affected is youtube.
now I've been searching online since this started happening and have come under the impression that this is a common issue hat no one seems to know how to fix. Is that true? I've done all the quick fixes ie: turn off wifi, turn off Bluetooth, reset hotspot settings etc. etc.
the only way I can get wifi to reconnect is if I manually go into settings turn off wifi and turn it back on. (On ipad)
ive ive gone as far as doing a hard reset on my phone thinking that was the problem. All to no avail. I also operTe my lapto off my phone so I know the connection there works just fine.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? It's kind of a pain but recently it has been happening more and more frequently and is starting to get rather obnoxious.
please let me know if you know how to take care of this. Thanks!

This is a widespread problem with the Mini but don't get misdirected into thinking that it's a router issue.
it isn't.
Apple don't appear to be taking ownership of this issue as it would open the floodgates and impact on:
1. The brand
2. The bottom line
so we are stuck looking at some spurious solutions, many of which are red herrings.
if Apple could supply a patch to fix this problem that would make sense but this is above my pay grade.
II'm sure you have, but google this again and you'll see the scale of user disenfranchisement over this problem!

Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

Hi all,
I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
Many thanks. Mark

I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

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

New iPad Mini with Issues Downloading over wifi

First, I have a brand new iPad Mini (1 day old), 16 GB Wifi. Second, I did a restore from iCloud Backup and this worked fairly well. But now, if I try to download any apps (new or previously purchased) after I sign in with my password, they either stall during the download process or don't download/install at all. I have checked the internet connection (wifi) at home (6 to 10 MB download) and at work (25 to 45 MB download). Third, I do not have any problems getting to any web sites through Safari or accessing content through other apps like CNN, Zite, or USA Today.

Update... I can't watch any streaming video either.

IPad mini backlight issues after digitizer replacement

I recently replaced the digitizer on my 1st gen iPad mini, and after reassembly, I'm havering issues with the backlight. Please have a look at my photo and let me know what the issue may be.
Thanks a lot,
Dave

I guess I should have mentioned before that this is my second time replacing it. The first time there was a faulty digitizer and the home button wouldn't work. But the touch screen DID work. Now its flipped, my second time around fixing it the home button works fine and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I thought it might have some damage from being dropped but the touch screen worked before. So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or if its something i can fix. Thanks

Ipad Mini Connection Issues on 2.4Ghz

My Ipad Mini seemed to be working fine across all wifi networks for the first week or so, but recently I've found it either won't connect at all or stay connected for long on networks running 2.4Ghz routers.
I called Apple support and took it into the Apple store, but they weren't able to tell what was wrong because it connected to their wifi right away.
I'm convinced it has to be an issue specific to 2.4gHz networks.
I have no problems with wifi connectivity on my parent's 5g network, but if I attempt to switch to the 2.4ghz I get the same "Unable to connect error" that I recieve from all the other places I'm having problems. I've read conflicting reports about what is causing this issue, but I'm just about ready to give up on this thing and take it back.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

I have had the same problem with the mini ( no connectivity on 2.4 ghz, but OK on 5.0 ghz) and convinced the folks at the Apple store to replace it. The Apple store network in this area is only 5.0 ghz, and I had to use the adjoining 2.4 ghz department store network to convince them that the mini radio was at fault. We have five ipads in the family, and the mini is the only unit to display this problem. It appears to be a hardware fault, but all the advice on this forum relates to software resetting of various forms and that did not solve the problem for me. Try the Apple store again, as replacement may be the only answer.
