HT204387 iPAD mini iOS 6.1 can pair keyboards, why not the Magic Mouse?

I need to access a site that requires click & drag with my iPad Mini. Has anyone figured out a work-around to get the MAGIC MOUSE to pair with the iPAD Mini? I am having trouble understanding why it won't pair. Can Apple make an update to iOS 6.1 to include the MM? It already can pair many other Bluetooth accessories, why not mice?

Thank you KPenguin. I understand now, though I still can't 'click & drag' items in Kano games. The 2 second hold that works for rearranging app icons doesn't seem to work. Guess I'll be returning my new MMouse, which is a shame. I was looking forward to playing around with all it's cool features! :)
Note to self: Mouse needs active cursor to work! Haha (it's a duh moment here!!) o.O

Could I use a UK SIM card in the UK after buying a cellular iPad in the USA?

Apple does not take trade-ins. In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your device if you sell it yourself.

How do I get music onto my iPad Mini (iOS 7) which hasn't been purchased on the iTunes Store?

Hi,
So I've got some songs on my MacBook Pro which I would like to get onto my iPad Mini running iOS 7. My iTunes version is 11.3.1 and my Mac is running on OS X Mavericks.
Thanks!

     Connect your iPad to your MacBook Pro with a USB cable. Open up iTunes, and click on your the iPad button (located on the top bar along with albums, artists, radio, etc.). Once your into your iPad settings, on the same top bar click music, and it will show a sync music checkbox. Click that box, then select either entire music library, or selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. If you choose the selected music option choose the music you want. Once you've done that, click sync on the bottom right, and wait for the music to sync to your iPad. Disconnect after ejecting. Hope this helps.
     If it says that you need to remove media from the device before syncing, its a bit more complicated. If you have all the already on your iPad on your MacBook Pro, or if you purchased it through with your Apple ID, then go ahead and sync, because all that music can be resynced or downloaded to you iPad. If your existing music is from another computer, you could use home sharing to move the music over to your MacBook Pro.
     To use home sharing, go under the File menu in the menubar, and find home sharing. Turn home sharing on on your MacBook Pro and the computer that your music was from originally. Sign in with the same Apple ID on both. You can now move music from the original computer to your MacBook Pro. Once you've done that, sync the music to your iPad as I explained in the first paragraph.

Ipad mini iOs 7 and my magazine subscriptions are not restoring

I updated my iOS today. I have two valid subsrciptions for Men's Health and Runners World. When I attempted to restore my subscription, I recieved the following error message:
This is not a Test User account.
Please create a new account in Sandbox enviroment.

How do I rectify this and get my subscriptions back on my mini? I've deleted both apps from newstand and reinstalled. I get the same error message.
thanks for you help.

iOS does not support file sharing over BT. To the best of my knowledge, there are no apps that will allow sharing from iOS to Android over BT but, I could be wrong.
You can use a service such as DropBox. Or just email things.
Best of luck.

At 60 and totally confused w/version . Not clue with how to use it and how to change it. My question - If a new version of i-tunes can be offered why not the older version as being a choice? Too simple or just impossible to do? I hate to drop i-tunes.

At 60 years of age and totally challenged by todays technology I find it impossible to understand i-tunes Version 11. Don' ask me to try to try go back to a earlier version ( as much as I would like to). I have read some of the advice given, as well as intended as it is, I don't understand the process. I don't want to drop i-tune but I will. I am sure my library is not as large as many others who use it but it is just as important to me. This really saddens me.
I do have two question if some one can help me. First, someone mentioned that if I go to previous restore point this might correct it. Yes or no? Secondly, if Apple can offer us a new version to download why can't they offer an older version to download. Too simple or impossible to do.

You can still drag and drop a song into a Playlist, in the same manner as before. Simply use the left-click of your mouse to select-and-hold the song (left-click-and-hold, don't release the click) and drag it to and then drop it (release the click) into the Playlist you want. (You cannot drop it into a Smart Playlist, you can only drop it into a Regular Playlist.)
... and here's a screenshot dragging the song "Lazy Orbit" into the Regular Playlist "Sat 4th June 2011". A small + symbol also appears in the drag, but it doesn't show up on screenshots. If the move is forbidden, a red slash through a red circle appears instead of the + symbol.
As for the Albums thing; in the Column Browser, right-click anywhere in the Column Browser header (see my screenshots in my previous post) and a menu appears. Deselect Albums on that menu to remove Albums from the upper Columns:
... and for the columns underneath (with the songs list etc.), right-click on that header bar and once again, deselect Albums from the menu that appears. The Albums column will then be removed from the lower columns list.

Well, my advice to you is: do not think about what you think iTunes cannot do, instead, think about what you want to achieve - and then work out how to achieve it.

If the iPad is unopened, and in the original box, then it comes with the full warranty. However, if it is used, and comes with an original box, it may or may not have the original warranty; if there's still some warranty left, the original seller should have transferred the warranty to you.
Read this:

The only way you can add to your warranty is by extending an Applecare contract.

Can the magic mouse be set to emulate a right click when tapped?

I recently purchased an Apple Magic Mouse.
I also have a MBP with a track pad which I have configured to do a right click when I tap it.
The small problem I have is that the AMM needs to be pressed similar to the way the track pad used to before I configured the tap-to-click.
Can this be done for the magic mouse.
Thanks for any assistance.
Barry

Hello there, bholtzkener.
To set up secondary click on the mouse the following article should provide very helpful:
OS X Mountain Lion: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11298
The screen where you make the choice looks like this:
Keep in mind, the mouse should be used with the Apple logo at the base of the hand and should provide the "click" sensation when you tap the other side with finger tips.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

"I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
Pls help m out.

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet." This happens while I am connected to the internet. What should I do?

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi. What should I do?

Reset the iPad and try again. Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

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

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.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

iPad Mini is stolen. Can I register this as stolen on the Apple website so that the scum who stole it can't use it. Or atleast when they try and register it, I know about it?

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.
