HT201269 I cannot restore my new ipad mini from itunes

When trying to set up new iPad mini from iTunes backup, it does not complete and starts back on the Set Up iPad screen.

Other than the Hotspot feautre, there is no way to connect iPad and iPhone through bluetooth, because there's nothing they can do when connected.
I am assuming what the person at the Apple Store showed you was the Hotspot feature, in which case you need to Turn on Hotspot,  and then turn on Bluetooth.

  • Why can't i restore my new ipad-mini from my iphone?

    I have so far spent 2 hours on the phone to Apple support trying to resolve this problem. I have backed up my iphone5 onto itunes and then tried to restore that backup onto my new ipad mini but it doesn't want to know. We tried uninsalling itunes and re-installing it to no avail.
    I can restore a limited backup from icloud but it won't transfer any settings like my e-mail account details.
    Can anyone help please?

  • Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Hello please hepl me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you

    hello please help me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you

    I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store.  Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

  • I restored my new iPad 2 from my old one and the 2 games I play most are missing. Any suggestions?

    I Restored my new iPad 2 from my old iPad and everything came across except my 2 favorite games which I play all the time..I dont want to download the games as I will lose my score. Any suggestion?

    Apparently those apps and their data were not in the backup file that you used to setup your new iPad.
    If you still have the old iPad you could take a new backup and restore your new iPad from this new backup.
    If this is not possible you can still download the apps from the App Store at no charge but you will have to start over on these games.

  • HT201269 I set up my new ipad mini as a new user instead of as my ipad2 identity. Is there anyway I can change this?

    I set up my ipad mini as new and now I am wondering how to get my stuff from my ipad2 identity to my new ipad mini identity. Is there a way or do I need to swipe it clean and start over? Thanks.

    You can resync stuff. But if you want your mini to be a near clone of your 2, and if you have a good backup, I'd start over.

  • HT2729 syncing new ipad mini with itunes

    trying to sync my new ipad mini to my older macbook with itunes 10.6 it says i need 10.7.
    When I check for upgrades it says mine is the latest version. Help?

    The situation you are probably in is that your Mini wants a newer operating system and iTunes than your older computer can handle. It is quite common for mac apps and programs to have a limited 'backwards compatibility' where new programs and devices will cease compatibility with older devices and programs and operating systems.
    Your choice will probably be to upgrade your computer or use only iCloud to sync your mini.

  • Can't find new ipad mini on itunes?

    I just bought a new ipad mini and I don't see it in itunes library.

    With a Mini, you must use iTunes version 11.x.

  • Can you restore a new iPad 3 from an iPad running iOS 5.0.1?

    I'm going to help someone move his data from an original iPad to a new 3rd generation iPad. The old one is running iOS 5.0.1, and he is without fast Internet access so no software update is possible to get that iPad onto 5.1.
    Does anyone know if the new 3rd gen iPad will restore from a 5.0.1 backup, and be apple to work with no problems?
    We won't be able to get to a wifi connection to update the OS for some time.

    Yes - it is not a problem. Tell your friend to back up the old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time before restoring the new iPad from the backup.
    When he connects the new iPad to iTunes - he should be given the opportunity by iTunes to restore from that backup. Say yes to that and then sync with iTunes as well.
    You don't need to use iCloud. I didn't when I set my new iPad up.

  • Cannot get PDF files to load on the iPad Mini from iTunes!

    Cannot get PDF to load on the iPad Mini through iTunes (latest version).   I could easily do this on the iPod Touch.   So what is missing?

    I solved my problem.  It turns out the default in iTunes is NO Sync for books or podcasts.  Once I turned that on I had success.   That wording should be included in the explanation on how to transfer PDF files to the iPad.

  • I cannot connect my new iPad mini to my iPhone 4S by bluetooth

    Hi there,
    I have just got my iPad mini wifi .
    In the apple store the assistant showed me that it was possible to Bluetooth with my iPhone 4S
    Now I am home I cannot connect the 2 devices .
    I have reset both devices as well but the only device discoverable is my daughter's laptop.
    Her iPhone 5 is not discoverable either.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    Thanks folks,
    Ken

  • This is aggravating... restoring backup to iPad mini from iPad 3 doesn't restore apps

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4484316?start=0&tstart=0
    I followed this, 3 times, and each time, the folders restore, the data in things like email and contacts restore, but none of my apps restore.
    It's an iPad mini cellular version, if that matters. I plug in my iPad 3, right click on the device and select Back up. When it's done, I reset my mini, erasing everything, then restore from backup. Apps don't back up.
