I am setting up my new iPad mini. I managed most of it, but the contacts, and some of the apps didn't transfer. How do I accomplish this?

I am setting up my new iPad mini from my iMac. I have backed up my old ipad so all info has been saved and sinced. I did not get my contacts and apps when the download, or sinc was complete. How do I add them? BTW, the instructions given while installing during the get started portion instructed me to use the start as new option. Thanks

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

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.

I have a new ipad mini an cannot sync it with my aol contacts. Using a pc and when I goto itunes and click on the devices info tab it will not let me click sync contacts it just says "configure"

That's because you are using her Apple ID or sharing an Apple ID on your iPad.
Do you have your own Apple ID? Do you share an ID? If so, is the ID her Apple ID?

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.

Setting up a new iPad Mini

I got my new iPad mini yesterday and attempted to set it up using my existing iPad back-up on iTune. I have set up many different apple devices previously, (new iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc) and they have always worked wonderfully.
But when I did it with my new Mini yesterday, some of the data, like notes on Noteshelf and Movies on AVPlayer were not updated. I could see them on my old iPad, but they did not appear on the new iPad. The Mail accounts were also all gone and I had to set them up all over again. The Apps Folders were also all gone leaving all my Apps in multiple pages and I had to redo all the Folders... etc.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Also, can someone kindly tell me how to delete photos on the Photos App? Can't figure out how to do this. Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Good question - I suspect it will but can't be sure.
When I set up my iPad Mini earlier it asked me if I wasnted to set up as new or restore from my iPhone 4S backup.
Clearly the iPad isn't a phone - presumably it would just migrate relevant settings/apps/photos.
My youngsters are currently playing tug of war with the new iPad Mini - I knew I should have bought two - they fit in one hand very nicely for adults and seem even better for small hands.
Only need to find a minimalist case now to stop the back scratching.
Can't believe Apple are charging the same for the cover as they do for the full size iPad.

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.

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

ive restored my new iphone 5 from iphone 4 but the apps have not moved to my new iphone 5. how do i transfer them?

If you connect and select iP5 in computer iTunes, in Apps tab, make sure the apps you want are checked before you sync.
Or on iPhone > App Store > Updates > Purchases > tap the app icon to re-download them.

I am setting up my new iPad mini and did not put in a password. The screen timed out and it's asking me for a pass code. I didn't set one up. Is there a standard passcode for new devices?
