If I erase my iPad mini will it erase ios 7 to ios 6? I'm tired of ios 7, it freezes a lot!

Sorry Kimberly, it will not. Apple does not provide a downgrade path for the iOS for a variety of reasons.
If you have any particular questions or issues you would like to discuss, please post those.
Cheers,

New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?
Patrick

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 droping 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

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

My Ipad Mini will no longer connect to wi-fi

My iPad mini will suddenly no longer connect to any wi-fi network. At home all our other iPads and iPhones still work. But this problem one won't recognise the password on my home or any other wi-fi network. I can't even backup the device into iTunes (connecting by cable into a laptop) as I get an error mesaage.
I've tried rebooting the router, powering off the iPad, resetting factory settings etc. I've read on other forums that this is a known problem with iPad minis. Is this correct? Is there a fix or do I need to get it replaced?

If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

If i stream or download the howard stern show on an ipad mini, will there be data charges?

If i stream or download the howard stern show to an ipad mini, will there be data charges?

Streaming requires data use.
That depends on your cellular and/or Wi-Fi plans.
If you are using cellular data then your cellular data plan applies.
If you are on Wi-Fi and you have no data cap then no. If you do have a Wi-Fi data cap then your Wi-Fi plan applies.

My new iPad mini will not activate. What could be wrong?

My new iPad mini will not activate. Tried restarting the iPad with no luck. What else can I try?

On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and download the current version (11.0.1).
Your iTunes 10.6.3 is old and cannot support a new iPad running iOS 6.
It is possible your computer is too old to support iTunes 11. That could be the reason for the message that 10.6.3 is the current version. In fact, it is not current and insufficient to support your new iPad.
Good luck.

My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

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.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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%.
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.

IPad mini will not alert for skype and facetime calls. Everything is on. This started after one of the updates after ios 7.

ipad mini will not alert for facetime or skype calls. Yes everything is on. No, mute is not on. Fed up!

Hello, pleaseacceptthisalias.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Once this is done, have someone make a test call using these applications. If the issue persists, see the steps in the second article.

Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
