IPad mini constant activation follow by unknown device.
I have a problem and is getting my nerve. The problem here is whenever I was playing my iPad mini, suddenly shut me to lock mode, and I would have to key in my passcode and was brought to wifi page to choose the network to activate my iPad. It take a good 2 min to activate once it is done it appears unknown device in my screen. I encounter this for a few times a day. Please help me out.
Press & hold power button press menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo and wait until ipad is reset you will
not lose any data.

Ipad-mini shows activation error
Yesterday my ipad-mini shows activation error and it says that my device is not activated and i have to activate it on ipad-mini developer forum. Whats does that mean and how i resolve it
Hi tyagikt,
If you are having activation errors on your iPad, you may find the following article helpful (it refers to iPhones, but applies to iPads as well):
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues

My ipad mini which was working fine until yesterday has stopped working this morning. It says it cannot connect to server and activate. My apple id and password I entered are correct. I had upgraded to ios 7 a week ago. How do I fix this? The ipad is not usable now.
If you were on iOS7 beta, then it looks like the beta version has expired on you. You have to upgrade to the latest release version to get it working again.
Go here: https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
Once there, download the latest version for your device and install the update the iPad. iTunes will not do this automatically, but if you do the following steps (after downloading) you should be good.
Plug iPad into your computer where you downloaded the latest release (7.0.2 at time of this post)
Open iTunes and click on the button in the upper right of the app for your iPad
Hold option (mac) or shift (windows) and click on Check for Updates. This will bring up a browse dialog.
Find the .ipsw file named something like this: iPad2,5_7.0.2_11A501_Restore.ipsw
Follow prompts to update and activate your iPad.
You should be back to normal at that point.
Apple will expire developer versions to make sure people are not using old versions for testing or development.
Hope this helps! -

hello, i have an iphone 5 it just fell into water and was in there for around 20seconds. I've seen on many of websites saying to keep it in a rice bag for 48 hours nd said it may work so i've done the same. I took out my phone from dat rice bag yesterday which worked perfectly alright for 6 hours and then switched off automatically! when i connected it to itunes it detected as a recovery device which after recovery during activation it shows as an unknown device! been working on it soo long! i live in mauritius here i have no official apple store but my phone is still under warranty. Please help me!!
When your phone was exposed to water, your warranty/support was voided, so you no longer have any warranty. An out of warranty exchange, from Apple, is US $269. Call AppleCare or whoever handles support where you live.

My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices
I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
Thank you.If you're on Windows read this support article.

How do i activate home sharing so i can mirror my ipad mini using my new apple tv device
i can seem to figure out how to turn on HOME SHARING so i can stream or mirror my Ipad Mini on my HDTV using my new Apple TV...everything i have read says just sign into I-tunes and activate Home Sharing...I am older and dumber than most users i guess
Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button. -

1. (over wifi) Your ipad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your ipad to itunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. (did this 12 times over several days.)
2. (through itunes) This device isn't eligible for the requested build.
I've tried builds for both 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 even tried the 7 beta 4
here is one attempt
here is an event log from the 6.1.2 attempt. Had the same result with the 6.1.3 attempt. Please help

Am a new user have an iPad mini and have virgin mobile mifi device for wifi, as this is the only Internet we have but it keeps going out as they are upgrading there system and I have to call at least 3 times a day to reconnect is there another way or other service for wifi that would work instead, I am not good at these devices thank you terrie
Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget. -

Can I remove ios8 from my iPad mini?
EEver since I installed ios8 on my iPad mini it is so slow, apps keep crashing, the keyboard won't work sometimes and I have had to restart it too many times to mention. I think I may throw it at the wall soon. What can I do to get it to work properly? I have stopped notification, and locator on most apps to try help. Nothing works.
I'd defiantly try a factory reset first to see how things look afterwards.
Its safe to say IOS8 is buggy for me and I'm sure Apple will fix many of the issues soon. The main problems I have experienced to date on a factory reset iPad Mini are as follows:
General system slow down.
Safari is very slow to render web pages, this could be WIFI related.
The keyboard seems slow to respond especially within Safari.
I opened a new email earlier this morning and it caused the iPad to auto reboot. Thats a first for me on an Apple device.
The ability to make / receive a call on your iPad always seems to fail for me. My iPad will ring when a call is received I will answer but it will immediately fail to connect. The same happens on outgoing calls.
Battery life on first impressions seems to have suffered since the upgrade.

IOS 7.1 and iPad mini wifi signal frequent interruptions
I have an iPad mini first génération and iOS 7.1 ... And The signal Is frequently interrupted ... I cannot play online or use correctly sites That require a continuous connection.
Any idea what have to be done to gain serenity ?!Hey kassburn,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on your iPad mini. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
1. Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed,follow these steps.
3. Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
4. Restart your iOS device.
5. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
6. Tap and Forget this Network.
7. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
8. Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
9. Update your device to the latest version of software.
10. Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
1. Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
2. Check for sources of potential interference.
3. Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
4. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
- recently used Bluetooth accessories
- VPN and APN settings
Thanks,
Matt M.
