Hi all! I have found the answer in another forum and this has 100% worked for me!!!
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
•From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
•Tap and hold on the app.
•When it starts to jiggle, tap the red ⛔ in the top corner to close it;
***Please close all open apps on your phone***
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.
6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button
See the answer in context
I hope this helps a lot of people!! Spread the word (seeing as apple doesn't seem to want to/care!)

Cannot set up ipad mini, no settings icon

My partner tried to set up his apple ipad, however there is no settings icon, how do you get back, have never used one before or anything similar?
Many thanks

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see ht silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
Also, this may sound silly, but the iPad has the ability to have multiple 'pages'. These are designated by small dots on teh screen, just above the bottom line of icons. Have you tried swiping sideways to see if your settings icon is just on a different page?

Show ... it worked ... you are the man! This hint of clicking the right mouse button on the prompt and run as Administrator was perfect.
Thank you very much

Are you using the USB cable? Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried booting your iPad into Recovery Mode and restoring it from the latest backup?

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013. Have done diagnostic on both with itunes as it does recognize them and they comes up clean. Where do I go from here?

The music should be on your syncing computer. Just sync the music to the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, the music and movie redownload is only applicable to the USA with the latest iTunes since iCloud (beta) is now available in the USA.

I just got ipad mini and did all the settings necessary, went to turn on today and apple icon comes on but then itunes icon comes up with a long looking lock, I can't get past it to open ipad

I just got an ipad mini and didf all the settings necessary. Went to turn on ipad this morning and apple icon shows then itunes icon and a long looking lock. I cannot get on ipad. Not sure how to get it opened and operational?

Where did you get the iPad? Did you buy this from Apple or an Authorized Retailer? or did you buy this from a friend, off eBay, from "some guy", etc.?

Updated my ipad yesterday and today can't connect to the internet by wifi or cellular. Have tried on 2 different wifi routers, one by Verizon and another by Comcast. updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all 3 work fine. Any suggestions?

Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet. Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast. Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine. Any suggestions?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have a family member passed away and cannot unlock her iPad mini

I have a family member that passed away and left behind an iPad mini. No one in the family knows her iTunes password and it doesn't look like she synced it with a computer. Is there any way to erase and re-set it? We tried recovering the password on Apple's website but do not know the answers to her security questions.

Hey there Toni,
It sounds like you are needing to unlock this iPad but the passcode is unknown. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. According to the following article you should use recovery mode to restore the iPad and be able to use it. The caveat to this is that it will delete all the data on the iPad.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Use recovery mode
Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK, then restore the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Cannot manually backup iPad mini or update iOS 7 over wifi or iTunes.

Hi all,
I delayed updating my ipad mini because I'm lazy but have a lot of app updates so thought it was time. My iPhone 4s went fine but my iPad is frustrating me to no end. I cannot update it wirelessly. When I press General > Software Update, it fails to load any updates after checking for ages and displays the message "unable to check for update" and says an error occurred. When I plug it into my Mac, it tries to set it up as a new ipad or wants to restore it from my backed up iphone data. It gives me no opportunity to back it up manually through itunes. Both my macbook and itunes are up to date. This is a new macbook and my first macbook so my ipad has never been plugged into it before but my iphone worked.
The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is that my mac is plugged into an ethernet cable and I set it to be a hotspot for my ipad.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can't go back. Period.
But carefully explain what your issues might be. Someone here will provide assistance. But general statements of "WiFi doesn't work well" doesn't give us enough information to even begin to help you.

Cannot erase my iPad Mini

I changed my Apple ID.
I need to erase my iPad Mini to sell it.
I follow the steps to erase, and a pop-up says to enter the password for my "OLD" Apple ID.
I DO NOT remember that password.
HOW CAN I ERASE MY IPAD MINI?

The following is a C&P of a Gail from Maine post responding to a similar question elsewhere.
Go to FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve the Apple ID. Then reset the password. If you don't remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to reset them: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

How do i remove my old apple id from an old iphone...i cannot access via email nor security questions, pw does not work.

I got rid of my old iphone and opened new apple id and pw on this new ip4s. I cannot access the old apple ID via usual
access ie., security questions, password or email verification. The email never arrives and when I answer the security it states incorrect answer.
I just want to delete that old apple id account for security reasons, hackers, thieves, potential unknown risks.
Please advise.
Thanks.
C.

The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

Best way to set up iPad mini for child?

So I bought my 3yr old an iPad Mini since he already knows how to fully operate most things on my iPhone! Now when I go to set it up, I don't want my music and apps and other content popping up on his iPad. Now can I create an Apple ID for him but set it up to where I can still have control over it? The guy in the store suggested I set it up using iCloud Family Sharing. When I got home and looked more into the family sharing option, I am not sure that is what I want either. That sounds like everybody in your family would have access to everything on the main device correct or am I wrong?
So this is what I want. I want to be the one who can purchase apps or download free apps by typing in his Apple ID info (if possible). I want him to have his own favorite songs via iTunes. The only thing I would want to share is probably a Family photo album in iCloud.
So what is the best way of setting this device up?
Before he mentioned the iCloud Family Sharing option, the guy in the store suggested I leave the iCloud info blank when it asked for it but set up the iPad Mini as if it was my device. I think that just confused me even more.
If I chose the Family Sharing option, can I select exactly what gets shared or no? If yes? Can apps be shared?
Lastly if I set him up with his own Apple ID, and he wants a new song or some music or download a movie etc. will he need his own iTunes Library?
Thanks for your help!

I think that, if you read through these forums and familiarize yourself with the number of problems allowing children the ability to exercise and maintain control of an iDevice, and to purchase and download content, you'll change your mind.

Why itunes cannot recognise my ipad mini retina ios7 on windows 7 64-bit?

I have recently bought an iPad mini with retina display - iOS 7 and when I connect it to my computer, there are several problems:
1. iTunes does not recognise it. At times I do get an error displayed that it is not able to connect to the device.
2. the iPad display says it is not able to charge from the computer USB.
I have had problems before with this computer and my iPhone 4S as well as my new 5S.
It was always able to resolve it by reinstalling the driver and or following the instructions to reinstall iTunes.
I have tried all of that several times now and it is simply unable to recognise it. I can open it on My Computer, which means I can download the pictures of the iPad, but I can't put music and other items on it. And I cannot make a backup of the apps that I have installed etc.
Any suggestions? I have had for a week now and have not been able to successfully connect even once!
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, desktop PC
iTunes 11.1.3
iOS 7.0.4
I would also like to configure it for wifi synching but that is only possible if I manage to connect it successfully via the cable at least once.
Note: the cable is the original cable and I tried it with my iPhone 5S cable as well (just in case it's the cable). Also tried every one of my 6 USB ports on the desktop (4 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0).
I'm at wits end. Please help!

Hi. I just solved this problem by seeing another post here. Take a picture withe ipad's camera and then my computer and itunes immediately recognizes it.
