IPad mini + cellphone capability

Is there an app to use the device as a phone? It has to be. This device is perfect.
A cellphone and a retina display would make this device "The only thing we need in the pocket".

Really? Is there no app that can turn it into a cellphone?
Last weekend I tried "12Voip". It was curious what happens when we "called the iPad". It actually reacts somehow to the call but there was no way to pick up the phone . I have been trying ever since and no reaction at all. Did I mess with this somehow?
Can anyone dwell on that?

Describe the problem. Won't show videos? Won't take videos? Or other?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

iPads do not do SMS.

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!

Does the iPad mini have the cover lock capability?

IOS6.0.2 erased my bluetooth speaker capability on iPad Mini

I upgraded my iPad mini last night to iOS6.0.2. Now I have lost all Bluetooth capability. Until the upgrade everything worked fine with an Altec-Lansing inMotion Air bluetooth speaker (iMW725 - a nearly $300 investment that is now useless thanks to this upgrade). Is Apple going to give us iOS6.0.3 that fixes this problem?

wwhy does my iphone 4 not sync with a product that it is suppose to, where can I get this info, directions for sync with other products?

Can you print on an iPad mini using the same wireless printer that works with my iPhone5 or do you have to a specifically AirPrint capable printer?

Printing on iPad mini compared to iphone5

If you are printing from an iPhone the printer most likely already AirPrint capable. So it should work directly.
Alternatively, if you are using an App on your iPhone to print to it. You should be able to use the same App on your iPad.

Can IPAD MINI be used as a cellphone?

Can I text my friends there? Using my Sim card?

Other than the screen size, an iPhone and iPad are primarly the same, other than the iPhone's phone functionality, of course. Many people underestimate the impact of the larger screen, though, which makes much more of a difference than some realize. Whether that would be of benefit to you will depend on what you do with your iPhone now, or wish to do. If you have an Apple Store near you, I'd suggest visiting one and spending a bit of time with an iPad mini so you can see for yourself. If you don't see a benefit, you can then sell the iPad.
Regards.

Does the ipad mini have gps capability

I am contemplating using my iPad mini as a GPS device whenever I go out in the desert in my ATV. Can it serve this purpose? Also, are BLM trail maps available in the APP store or elsewhere? Thank you.

Only the cellular iPads have built-in GPS, the wifi-only models rely on getting their position from the router that they are connected to being in Apple's database (though there are some external GPS units which apparently work them e.g. Bad Elf GPS).
I don't know about BLM maps

Can a wifi ipad mini be upgraded to use 4g later ?

I want to get my boyfriend an ipad mini for Xmas. He isn't sure he wants anything more than wifi right now.
I want to find out if I can buy an ipad mini that he can uses on wifi, can he later sign up with AT&T to get a data plan to use it on the 4g network ?
Or do I have to purchase the ipad through AT&T now and pay the data plan ?

It is not possible to upgrade an iPad to cell capability internally. The only way to get cell capability in a WiFi-only iPad is to either get a MiFi device - for AT&T see:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/novatelwireless/mobile-hotspot-mifi-lib erate-graphite.html#fbid=D27kM6CaF7R
or tether the iPad through a cellphone with tethering capabilities. If you think your boyfriend might want cell capabilities in the iPad at some future time, you'll want to purchase the WiFi+Cellular model now. Cell plans are all month-to-month in US-sold iPads - there are no long-term contracts - so he can sign up at any time, and cancel at any time.

How can I transfer a video recording from iPad Mini to PC?

Hello Good People,
I've got an iPad Mini running ios 7.1.2.
I've got a Windows laptop running Windows 7 with iTunes 11.3.1.2.
I recorded a video of an interview with my elderly mother which I want to transfer to my laptop for editing and saving for the family.
I'd like to use Sync but Sync scares me every time I look at it that it will start erasing things from one place or another. Looks like the unstated assumption is "Sync" from PC to iDevice, not the direction I want to go.
So, I've done the google searching and haven't found anyone answering this issue but I've found dozens of adds from third party software I can buy to do what apple should provide for as a foundational, basic capability which leads me to think that they have purposefully not given people this capability for some reason. The iPad Mini also doesn't appear in Windows Explorer so I can't find the videos myself.
Anyone have a blessedly simple way I'm just not seeing? Is it safe to use Sync and not lose this precious video forever after it flashes its warning of erasing things?
Thank you!
Jim

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

HT204023 What is 'sim pin' under Cellular data on my iPad mini? How do I use that and change cards from one country to another?

I have a new ipad mini with retina display, and cellular capability.
I've learned how to set up an account and use it in the US. I'm now traveling internationally and need to learn about changing the sim card.
My first question is about the notation under 'settings', Cellular Data, SIM PIN. Under SIM PIN, there is an option of turning on 'sim pin' and then entering a PIN to lock the SIM.
What does SIM PIN mean in the first place?
Where does the PIN number come from?
Thankx.
SusanFrances

A SIM PIN, also referred to sometimes as a PUK Code is like a PIN number for your SIM card (just like your ATM Card). Since your SIM card has your cellular account on it and can be typically removed from one device and put into another, you can lock the SIM Card with a SIM PIN if you choose. If you activate the SIM PIN feature and forget your SIM PIN when you try to re-activate your device or a new device in the future using the same SIM Card, you may have to contact you carrier to get a new SIM Card. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1316
As far as changing the SIM Cards out because you want to use a new carrier, you can remove the SIM card fomr the old carrier and put in the SIM card form the new carrier. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5163
I hope this helps clear things up.

Can I share my personal hotspot with a "wifi only iPad mini" or does ithe ipad have to be wifi cellular device? I'm using an iPhone 5 with ios7.2

I am about to buy an ipad mini for my daughter, with wifi only capability & wondered if I was able to share my internet connection via my personal hotspot on this device. I know that you can on an ipad with wifi + cellular device, but wondered how it worked for the wifi only model. I have an iphone 5 ios7.2 & would be using my personal hotspot from this to share with the ipad mini in car journeys etc. The wifi obviously is great when at home. Thanks for any advice or comments.

Thank you so much, a direct answer on something Ive been trying to get an answer for all morning. ipad mini with wifi only, is capable of sharing a personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but you think that in some cases it can be expensive. My provider insists that my personal hotspot sharing is free. I am with 3. Problem solved.
