I purchased the ipad mini wifi+cellular for att but i'm afraid that when i travel to egypt( i do it frequently) i won't be able to use cellular there, can i insert a local nano sim from egypt for a 3G network or GSM/Edge (Not LTE)?
Does the ipad mini Support Global 3G networks (Egypt's GSM band 900/1800 and 3G is 2100)?
Thanks James. I was hoping that was the case.
I've already updated the software, from a quick search that seems to be the network issue for imessage/FaceTime. Is there a fix for this? Ive no back up to go back to.

i want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?
Thank youWifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs. -
Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?
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 drooping 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.

I have just purchased the ipad and trying to log onto itunes and it tells me I am not connected . i typed in my apple sign on and it states cannot connect to itunes store. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
I'm sort of confused by your response. Did your iPad start up? If I DO understand - you are frozen on the sign in setting for the Store?
Try this - force quit the settings app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
How does the ipad mini wifi only know my location when not connected to wifi?
I thought the wifi only ipad mini does not have a gps chip. Yesterday however, I was driving around with my wife in the car (no wifi) and the ipad mini was able to keep track of my location on the map I had pre-downloaded. How is this possible?
Your WiFI only position is determined by the iPad keeping track of the names and intensity of the various WiFi signals and comparing that to a database of WiFi access points with their locations.

Hi all. I recently purchased the Wifi + 3G Ipad version and am trying to connect the Wifi but I'm not sure if I need a password for that or not.
I am a bit of a beginner so anything technical goes over my head so would really appreciate any help.
Thanks :)it depend on your wifi network
I hope you do use a password otherwise you have an unsecure wifi network which could be abused by other people -

I was recently trying to buy an iPad Mini with retina display but the box it was in did not say anything about whether it had the retina display. Also the price they were going to charge me was $299 and not the $399 of the Mini with retina display. So how do I know by looking at the box if the Ipad Mini in the box has the retina display?
By this;
The model number on the back cover is:
A1489 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi
A1490 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular"
do you mean on the back cover of the box or the iPad itself. If it is only on the back side of the iPad itself, then I wont know if I have actually purchased the iPad Mini with retina display until I have opened the box. To me this is unacceptable as it creates a huge hassle if my intent was to buy thr iPad Mini with retina display but was actually sold the iPad Mini without retina display. When I return it for eith the right iPad mini or my money back, certain retailers have a habit of treating such people like criminals even when it was the retailers mistake. The box should be clearly maked to indicate which iPad mini in contains so the purchaser does not have to feel like they're playing roulette.
Today I was trying to buy the iPad Mini with retina display and made it very clear to those working at this retailer that was my intent. This paricular retailer has you talk to their sales people on the floor and they give you a print out of the item you are purchasing. Then the customer takes it to the cahier who takes to the stockroom and brings it back to the customer. I asked the cashier if it was indeed the iPad Mini with retina display and they said yes. So I asked how can you tell by the box? The cashier told me all the boxes look like this one. I said to them, if it is the iPad Mini with retina display whay is it priced $299 like the original iPad Mini without retina display? I walked out without buying it. Some poeple may have thought oh good I'm getting the iPad Mini with retina display for the price of the iPad mini without retina display when in fact they be only getting the original iPad mini without retina display.
Your response helped me but it does not solve the problem as far as I am concerned of being able to tell what iPad Mini is in the box simply by what is on the outside of the box. You may say, what difference does it make? My response is, not all retailers are scrupulous! -
After using one of the competition's wide screen phone, I found myself using it more then my iPhone. Though it wasn't as good of a user experience as my iPhone, the wider viewing display grabbed my attention. Viewing video content on their wider phones, sadly is much better in my opinion. The reason, the content that display at an 16x9 ratio. Wider is the way to go, truth to this is found in Reviews regarding the new iPad mini. The iPad mini has been said to have a perfect size screen when viewing content and playing Multitouch games. It has a better screen resolution as compared to it competitor. The iPad 3 and 4 have gorgeous Retina displays. Why not have a wider iPhone that's both thin and wider so we can enjoy our digital media we've purchased from Apple to have that same comfort level we get from the iPad? Having a display to be available at a resolution that's at a 16x9 Ratio is better regarding content. I love the iPhone, we need to finally go wider on the iPhone. Content viewing is being effected by the screen size on such a magnificent device. If Apple posted up a vote regarding their content displayed on their iOS devices, I'm sure people would agree that the resolution found on the iPad and iPad mini are much superior when viewing Apple's video content then from what you get from both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not because they are smaller, it's the width of the screen then the mire size. Apple's video content is around about an 16x9 ratio as like most if not all of the content found on iTunes and the Apps store. I've found myself wanting an iPad mini as a substitute to my iphone. Wider viewing is best for Apple's video content, working documents and game play. I would surely be happier with a wider screen phone then to travel with both devices to be able to enjoy my media.
I don't know why you wasted your time and bothered to post this in a user to user technical forum.

Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?
I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue? Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad? I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to. It's so disappointing!!!!
I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine. -
Who set aside their 9.7 inch iPad in favor of the iPad mini?
I recently purchased the iPad mini.
I also have a 4th gen iPad Retina.
I'm finding that I'm using the iPad mini more than the 4th gen iPad.
I use the iPad a lot for work and I'm finding that I'm using it to write documents, create keynotes, research, read, browse etc.
It's more comfortable to sit on the couch and create a Keynote with the mini rather than the iPad 4th gen.
Anyone else finding this to be?I take my iPad mini with me, but when I am at home I use my 9.7-inch iPad.
