I received a New Ipad Mini 32gb with WIFI Only as a gift, Is it possible to exchange it for one with 3G and WiFi

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

There is the no questioned ask 14/15 day return policy with apple stores.  Ask the person who gifted it to you.
Other than that there is MiFi.
I recently signed up for FreedomPop.com. http://www.freedompop.com
FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month!  You do need to buy their wireless device at $39.   There are ways of getting bonus megs.  One gig of addition data costs $10 per month.  I used about 15megs per hour of lite internet surfing.
When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections.  On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button.  FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
The performance seems a little slower than my DSL connection.

  • My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

    First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?

  • Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

    Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

    The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

  • Brand new iPad mini 32GB LTE (Verizon) purchased on 1/7/13 is constantly crashing while on Safari and other apps.

    Brand new iPad mini 32GB LTE (Verizon) purchased on 1/7/13 is constantly crashing while on Safari and other apps. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do besides restoring it and rebooting it as I have already done so. Should i exchange it at the apple store for a new one? Any suggestions? Im still under the 14 day return policy.

    Returning it is a way to go, obviously. Unless that's quick and convenient enough for you, you may try resetting it to factory settings first under Settings -> General -> Reset.
    A new setup and sync (not restoring, to avoid the cause of the problem coming over again) might fix it once and forever.

  • 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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

  • Brand new iPad mini 2 32 gig , only 22.3 GB available memory. Is this normal?

    Hi , yesterday I bought from John Lewis an iPad Mini 2 with 32 GD. 
    All I have doe with it is look at a couple of internet pages.  I was very surprised to see in the settings / general that the available space is 22.3 GB from a capacity of 27.4 GB .... how can this be ?
    The iPad came with 7.1.2 installed, and I have left that on.
    How can there only be 22.3GB available ... that would suggest someone who bought a 16 GB, would only have 6.2GB available.
    Could someone please explain ?  I get the 27.4GB capacity (I assume 4.6GB used for the OS ....  but 22.3 available ? 

    This lack of memory on a brand new device suggests that the iOS 8 update was automatically pushed to your device. This will happen if your device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi connection, is plugged in to the charger or a live PC and there is ample storage space on the device to hold the update. Apple seems to think that users want this huge update auto-pushed to them...I don't think this is the case at all.
    Check to see if the auto-pushed iOS 8 update has indeed been installed: Settings/General/Usage. Wait for the list to populate fully and check for an iOS 8 update near the top of the list (largest app are listed at the top). You can delete this update as you can with any other app from the list. Tap on it, then tap the Delete button.

  • IPad mini problems with iMessage and screen freezing with IOS 8.3 update

    iPad  mini screen unresponsive with 8.3 update.  iMessage screen is blank or showing only old messages

    A word of advice ... Don't make changes before a deadline.
    You can still downgrade to 8.2.  Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.

    the black iphones are being damaged at the Foxconn factory. Apple is aware and is replacing the damaged/scuffed/chipped/scratched devices.
    but if i were you id hurry. there was a riot involving 2,000 Foxconn workers this morning, and the iphone assembly lines were damaged, and the factory shutdown as a result of the damage.

  • Why my new ipad mini does not have an app store icon?

    I received a new ipad mini as a gift. It came in the original state, unopen, unused, seal intact. After doing the necessary set-up, I found that both the App Store and iTune icons were missing from the home page. I am therefore unable to purchase new apps. Any one facing such problem before? Any advice? Thanks.

    Yup, too many children were making purchases and doing things they were supposed to do. So engineering thought this would solve it
