    Hey Beata G,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to install the software update, you may need to plug the iPad Mini into a power source. If it is below a certain percentage in power it will require power to ensure that iPad Mini does not loose power when installing. If you still have issues the following article will walk you through that process and also if you want to update the iPad Mini through iTunes.

  • HT4946 when I did a back up for my Iphone, in order to update software, I did not see request to choose password.  Then when I went to restore back up it asked for password that I did not know.  Now what do I do?

    Help!  When I went to restore back up for my Iphone after downloading software update, it asked for password which I did not know.   Apparently the box for encrypt had been checked but I do not recall anywhere indicating I needed to choose password.   I was sent back to page with 2 options - set up new phone OR restore from back up WHICH I CANNOT DO WOTHOUT PASSWORD.     wHAT DO i DO?

    Connect it to your computer via the supplied sync cable and restore.

  • Should I unplugged my A Extreme daily when I'm not using the mac?

    Should I unplugged my A Extreme and my Mac daily when I'm not using them?

    Only if you want to save electricity. Otherwise it is not necessary. If anyone else is using the WiFi from the Extreme, it won't be available if it's turned off. Maybe that is not an issue.

  • Mavericks doesn't ask for password when copying files into applications folder (e.g. installing plugins for After Effects)

    For example, when i was copied a plugin for after effects into the plugins folder, finder asked me for my password and now it doesn't. I can just copy it directly without any authentication.

    Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
    That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

  • HT5622 I just updated my iphone and now it asks for a passcode. Can I use the phone without a passcode? if not, how do I change the one I entered today?

    I just updated my iphone. can I use it without the passcode? if not, how can I change the code?

    Nobody here can unlock it.
    Only the person whose iCloud account it asks the password for can do it. Contact them.

  • New Mac Book Pro does not ask for password when waking from sleep

    I've noticed that several others are having this problem. I have tried all of the suggestions on the other posts and have had no luck getting it to work.
    I have it set to "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver".
    When I wake the computer in the morning it requires a password but if I wake it after and hour or two it does not. I have my screensaver set to turn on after 4 minutes but it never asks for a password when when I come back to my computer.
    I think this is a bug and Apple should deal with it in a security update.
    I'm open to any more suggestion though.
    Thanks,
    Tevadar

    FYI, you can also lock your screen manually if you like. Launch Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access, select Keychain Access menu > Preferences > General tab, and check the box to "Show Status in Menu Bar." That places a padlock icon in your menu bar, and clicking on that will give you the option to Lock Screen.

  • I have the latest version. Ever since I installed it, it keeps crashing for no aparent reason, even when I'm not using the computer.

    Often, when I return to the computer after a break, Firefox has gone. Other times, it fails when I'm loading something else, e.g. Skype, but not every time. This has only happened since I upgraded.

  • HT4623 my iphone 5 was just updated with iOS 6, phone days update is completed but will not recognize my wifi admin password so I can not use the phone at all

    My Iphone 5 says my iOS 6 was successfully updated but I can not get the next step complete as it will not recognize my wifi admin password and am unable to use the phone at all HELP Suggestions??

    Enter the correct passcode to access the Wi-Fi, it is NOT the admin password for the Wi-Fi.
    Or, simply plug the device into the computer and restore it from the backup there.

  • Thunderbird 31.3.0 Mac Yosemite. Thunderbird does not ask for password, when there are no passwords saved

    Have deleted account.
    Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
    Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings
    Please help

  • Mac not asking for Password when waking up from Sleep.

    Hi. I have a MacBook Pro that recently stopped asking for my password when the screen sleeps... I am concerned about security and would like to have this feature working again.
    I have the "Req password to wake..." setting checked in the Security pref pane and I've tried both rebooting as well as resetting the pram with removing the battery & power and holding down the power button.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to deselect, restart, then select and restart... see if that works?

  • I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

    When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
    I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
    This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
    I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

    Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
    but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

  • HT1338 I bought my mac book pro from an owner selling. I created my apple ID but whenever I try to download updates it brings up previous owner's apple ID and asks for password. How do I delete existing apple ID and use mine.

    I bought my mac book pro from an owner selling. I created my apple ID but whenever I try to download updates it brings up previous owner's apple ID and asks for password. How do I delete or by-pass existing apple ID and use my created apple ID and password to enable updates for my Mac?

    Yes, he purchased Mountain Lion on his Apple ID. It is licensed to him. What he should have done was erase the HDD and install the system that the Mac shipped with. Erase and re-install either from Recovery Partition or the disks the Mac originally shipped with. Then, purchase ML with your own Apple ID and install.

     menu/About this Mac/System Information (at the bottom, may be called something else) - run that and see if the Airport card is detected.
