I just bought a new iPad mini. I was wondering if I should fully charge it the first time to maximise the battery life . Please help !

Yes, but that doesn't maximize the battery's life.

  • HT4796 Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook Pro and started migrating from PC but the remaining time is about 70 hours long, I just wanted to know if that timing is normal and if not, does leaving running my MacBook that time can affect it?

    70 hours...  no, it's not normal but it can't hurt your Mac to be running for that amount of time.

    I'll do... but it sounds strange to me... this LaCie is brand new (I've bought it a month ago) and it seems to be a good brand for drives, especially for Mac OS X, isn't it?
    All this problems started after a Mavericks fresh install...
    I hope to solve this problem quickly.

    Charge as long as you want. If the battery indicator have a plug image then it's full otherwise you see a lightning image. Apple advices to discharge (use it till it's empty) once a month to prolong battery life.

    There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
    1)  In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
    2)  Turn on calendars on the same page.
    You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync.  Do they no long sync?

    If you bought it from Apple within the past 14 days, you can get a refund and buy the iPad 4. Other stores may have a different return policy. Otherwise, you'll have to sell the iPad 3.

    For the iPad, make sure Contacts is switched on. Tap Settings > iCloud

  • My iPad Mini was locked up today (for the first time) on a boot screen, with a Debugger Message: Panic. Should I bother trying to fix, or return to store?

    My iPad Mini locked up for the first time today. A boot screen, with among many other things, a Debugger Message: Panic. Is there a fix for this even though I can't seem to even get it to reboot past this error, or am I wasting my time and need to return it?

    if it is still within the return period, return it.  Why try and fix a new iPad.

  • TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

    My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day.  The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.)  It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini.  Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini.  It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look.  It doesn't update at all.
    I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
    Maybe its Safari?
    I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
    I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
    If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
    If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks in advance...

    why do my ipad mini never get fully charged? the most is only up to 92percent

    This seems to be a problem with a few Mini users. Just unplug the charger and then replug. It should then charge to 100%.
