Imessage and notifications work intermittently on ipad mini
I got my ipad mini about a week ago and ever since I got it, my notification system works between certain times which is usually between 9 pm and 5 am, sometimes they also work during the middle of the day but that's for 2 or so hours and then they just stop working again. imessage does the same thing and if imessage isn't working then the notifications for anything don't work either. I have googled some solution and I do have my notifications set to ON, my date and time are set to autoupdate, the DNS for my network is also set to 8.8.8.8 but nothing seems to work (I've also tried 8.8.4.4 for the DNS), I've tried rebooting the device and I'm also running the latest versio of ios6. Could anyone tell me what my problem is ?
Try this solution offered from a previous thread:

Vince0909 in the thread that is referenced above made this suggestion and it worked for a number of users. You may still need to resolve the time zone issue as well.

Re: imessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2in response to hann_christineIn my case it was not working for a week or two (iPad Air ios 8.1.3).In setting under iMessage I entered a dummy login just to see what I would get ... a pop-up show up for password confirmation the password.I canceled and I re-entered the correct username and password correctly and it works ... it's worth a try on your side

My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?
Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
This is the support kb article.

When surfing or working on my iPad mini, frequently my applications close and it goes the home screen. This problem started about a week ago. I did do a hard reset.
Make sure you do not leave a lot of apps open in the iOS multitasking bar.
Dbl click the Home button, look to see now many apps that are still active in the multitask bar.
You can safely quit some of these by holding your finger on one app until all the icons wiggle.
Tap the red dash in the upper left corner to quit each app from running. Then just tap anywhere else on the iPad's screen or single click the Home button to stop the wiggling and close the Multitask bar.
Good Luck! -
Is there a "real fix" to get iMessage and FaceTime working? Tried the 8.8.8.8 and time,rest thing. Passwords and Apple ID are ok. At log in the message says it's a network connection.
Any ideas? Is here a fix coming from Apple?Apps are on my iPad and worked fine with iOS 6. When iOS7 was loaded, I can no longer sign in to these two apps using my Apple ID. These apps are on my phone and work fine. This problem is on on my iPad.

IMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
iMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
It worked well before doing the latest update.
iMessage on My iPhone 4 works fine after doing the same update.
Have done all the usual things plugging into computer, complete shut down and reboot, nothing has worked.
It keeps asking for password for Apple ID, I know I am entering the correct ID, check network is also being displayed.
Nothing wrong with my network either, other iPads and iPhones are working fine on the same network.
Would like this fixed ASAP.

My iMessages no longer work on my iPad or mac. They still work on my iPhone. It says all my contacts are no longer registered with iMessage.
Hi,
There have been no updates recently.
You would also know if the computer had stopped for an Update.
On the Mac in the Contacts App in the Contacts Menu > Accounts is it shown to be using iCloud to Sync the info between all devices ?

I can't seem to get my headphones to work on my iPad mini when using iTunes remote.
I can stream to any Airplay capable system perfectlyvia Remote and control iTunes on my iMac as advertised.
Just want to be able to listen to iTunes on my iPad "wirelessly"Yay!
I discovered this lovely little forum entry that solved my problem!
(Remember this is for Windows, I'm not sure if the same will work for Mac)
This is what you do:
1: Have iTunes up and plug in your iPod.
2: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the iPod shuts down.
3: When the screen is blank, release the Sleep/Wake and just hold the Home button down for about 15 seconds.
4: After then, iTunes will recognize an I iPod in Recovery Mode.
5: That's when iTunes will ask you to Update/Restore your iPod.
I'm pretty sure those are the steps.
(If anything is wrong, can someone fix it, please?)
But that really does work.
The writer said that his iPod was "stuck on the apple screen, and not going anywhere after that."
That was my issue, so hopefully this will work for you! -
Will the 10W Apple Charger work with my iPad Mini
Hello Everyone
I got a ipad mini for christmas and because the lightening cable and 5W charger don't reach because i have only got one socket accesible in my living room i was thinking about buying the 10W Charger from Western Computers in Cheltnam, Gloucestershire And I Have a few questions about it because it does not tell me on the website which devices it is compatible with my following questions are
Will It work with my ipad mini?
Will it charge my iPad Mini Quicker?
Will it be compatible with the lightening cable my ipad comes with or will i have to get a adapter of some sort?
Please can someone answer my questions and reply because i do not want to wast my £25.00The 10W charger will work on all of Apple's iDevices. It will charge your Mini faster.
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.

I bought Fruits Ninja a while ago and it said it was for iPods, iPhones, iPads but I didn't have one and it was for my iPod touch. I got a mini iPad and I have noticed that its under the iPhone/iPod catergory. I will be sad if I have to download the HD which I have no clue what is different to play it on my new iPad when I already got the game. Will it work on my iPad mini or do I have to get the HD version?
You can use the iPhone / iPod touch version on your iPad and just press the 2x button to expand it to fit the larger screen.
The alternative HD version has been optimised by the games developers to perfectly fit the larger iPad screen without doubling the pixels and they have chosen to charge for this HD version separately to the standard iPhone version. Some developers choose to charge, some include the iPad version in with the iPhone version at no extra charge. -
Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini after ios7 update
Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini and my iphone 5 after I updated to ios 7. My Ipad 4 which is not updated can't see them either. Samsung devices can see them but not connect and they can't see each other. Help
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What can be done to make my capacitive stylus work on my iPad mini?
I have the Griffin Pencil Stylus (which is capacitive), and it will not work on my iPad mini. Sometimes by chance I can make a mark in a drawing app and if I do, I have to press really hard on the screen. It has never worked while putting in my passcode etc. It works fine with my iPhone 4S, but that is not the device I intended it for. Any ideas as to what's going on or if I can do anything to make the stylus work with the iPad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You're welcome. This can be done any time things just don't seem to be working right (it's like rebooting your computer).

Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?
Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?
Hi
Have you progressed your evidence based knowledge on this issue?
I recently posted elsewhere:
"I am very interested in this issue as I want an ipad for 7 months travel in Southern Africa and the particular app I want is Tracks4 Africa map app On App store it says "This app is designed for both iphone and ipad" and later on "Requires iOS4.3 or later." and "optimised for iphone 5"
In emails with the developers their junior tech assistant says it is not compatible with an ipad mini with wi-fi. My attempts to differentiate whether its compatible with an ipad mini running both wi-fi and mobile has fallen on deaf ears.
Does the ipad mini offer 4.3?
Could you understand why an app wouldn't be compatible with a wi-fi only app but would be ok on a wi-fi and mobile unit?"
Thanks
