HT4060 My new ipad mini only charges up to 88% using the supplied adapter, how do I charge to 100%?

My ipad mini is only 3 weeks old and I am unable to charge beyond 88%, why not and how can I charge up to 100%?

Try a 10W or 12W charger.

My iPad mini won't allow me to use the split keyboard, how do I fix this?

Hi can any body help me? I can't get the split keyboard to work on my iPad mini.

You can take a look at this video to see how it's done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCIOGo5658I

I downloaded the new os7 on my Ipad mini. Now in order to use the ipad I need to use a passcode. I cannot get pass the login screen and I never set up my ipad to use a passcode. What can I do?

I downloaded the new os7 on my ipad mini. Now in order to use the Ipad, I need to enter a passcode. I cannot get pass this screen. I did
not set it up to use a passcode. What can I do? I am not too computer savy.

I have the same problem. I upgraded to iOS7, entered my usual passcode when prompted in setup, and when I tried to access my iPad after installation was finished it denied my passcode. I can't connect to any internet to erase it or anything because the new iOS hasn't yet been configured to a wifi network, so I can't backup from anything either.
When I connect the iPad to iTunes, it tells me that Find My iPad must be disabled on my iPad before backup or restore can continue - and I can't access anything beyond the lock screen of my iPad at all because it refuses to accept my passcode, so I can't get to Find My iPad.

HT201269 I have a new ipad mini. I want to download all the music I have on my Apple iPod nano MA428. Can I do this? If so, how do I go about it?

I have a new ipad mini. I want to download all the music I have on my old Apple iPod nano MA428. Can I do this? If so, how do I go about it?

You should be storing your music on a computer that you sync your iPad mini to. You can then sync your iPod to the same computer to copy over the music to the iPod.

HT4060 My new iPad is not charging at all no messages

My new iPad is not charging at all no messages on pc and not with 10w wall adapter either and not syncing to iTunes on my PCM

Note that in some PCs not all USB ports have current/charging capabilities. A colleague had the same issue with a Dell desktop tower the other day, only the leftmost USB port on the frontside had charge capabilities.

Does anyone find that the new iPad Air sounds sort of "hollow" when using the pad?

Maybe I don't know what I am talking about, but I feel like when using the iPad Air, it seems a bit hollow when using the screen pad or basically just using it in general. My last iPad (the latest one before the Air) seemed like it was more quality. Does that make sense?

Yes it does have a slightly hollow sound when you tap the screen. This is because the screen is made a bit differently than the older ones...there's a gap between the layers in the screen, which causes the sound you're hearing...it's completely normal on the Air. I took my Air back tho! It's awesome but just a bit big for my taste. I'm hoping the Mini comes soon!
And I don't know why Kappy is saying the speakers can't do the low frequency so well. The speakers on the Air produce a way better sound than earlier gens..including low frequencies.
cheers

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
It is a new ipad. What can I do?

Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
Please help.

HT4060 My ipad mini wont charge I bought a new charger since the old one didn't charge my ipad and the same problem is happening i charged it over night and when I woke up it said 50% soo can someone help me this is my first apple product a

Well my ipad mini isn't charging.. I with the original charger it didn't show the charging sign when plugged in.. And I bought a new one a 12:00 one from bath bed and beyond. Now it ain't charging again even thought it did a few days ago.. Now I don't know what to do.. I don't wanna keep buying chargers..

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.

Hi my new ipad will not charge in mains or PC??

hi I have had my brand new ipad for about a month and i can't seem to get it to charge it charges when it wants so to speak, I've tryed it in the mains in about 10 different plug sockets and on 3 PC's one been a laptop and it doen't charge when you want it to. what help can you give me?????

When you plug into a computer, it may say "not Charging", but it will charge but slowly. If this is the case, the cable is good. Therefore, the wall charger must be defective.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out. My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues. Does anyone else have this problem?

My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out. My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Bought new iPad mini retina but cant find install free iWork apps like Keynote. Where can I find/install Them?

When configuring my new iPad mini retina last weekend I first ignored the questions on the installation of the free iWork apps.
Now I would like to install them but I only find the paid version in the App Store. What am I donning wrong. Or was it a missed opportunity and bad luck for me.

I had exactly the same problem but my son told me I had to update to the most up to date ios first. Currently it's only got version 6.1 on it, and it didn't say there was an update available but when I click "check for updates" it started to install version 7. I believe you need version 7 installed first, then if you go to the Store, it will say the software is free to download. I'll check back once it's finished installing the update and let you know.

HT4060 My new ipad mini only charges up to 88% using the supplied adapter, how do I charge to 100%?
