Ipad mini for apple employees?

Does anyone know when the ipad mini will be available through the apple store employee purchase program?

unfortunately on the internet people tend to give you these rude or patronising answers if they don't like your question, you just have to sort of ignore them
to answer your question in a more friendly way my guess is they are probably not interested in giving discounts at the moment because they are still instantly selling out their stocks for full price.
what i mean is from a business point of view they probably don't want to deny the full price payers an ipad and sell it for discount instead. maybe in a few weeks when the supply catches up they will include it in the program
i hope this helps

  • Trade in iPad mini for Apple Store credit?

    I was wondering if it's possible for me to 'recycle' my iPad mini for Apple Store credit? I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro soon, and was wondering if I could trade in my iPad mini to get a discount on the laptop.

  • I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

    I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

    Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
    Take it back and get your money returned. You
    are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
    the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
    remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

  • Setting up iPad mini for school giveaway, suggestions about apple ID and apps

    Howdy all,
    I've been asked by a client to setup an iPad mini for a school giveaway including loading it up with apps. They want to provide not only free but paid apps. How do I set this thing up with an ID that the winner can use? I was thinking about creating an email account with a free webmail provider then creating an Apple ID with that email. The person donating the mini was going to give me a pre paid visa card to load it up with apps. I see several problems here. If the winner already has an apple ID they will not be able to merge the purchases and put the mini on thier existing account so they can utilize thier already setup itunes and purchases made on that account. Also if I create an ID and want to add a payment type to the Itunes store it will require billing info which I will not have since I don't know who the winner is.The only other options I can think of is to:
    1.Wait till the winner is chosen, contact them to see how they want it set up then take or it.
    2.Give them the mini and prepaid card and wish them luck.
    The person donating it really wants it set up, am I missing another options through itunes gift cards or other methods? Any suggestions would be greatly apprecieated.
    Thanks,
    ~G

    You should never setup an iPad you are giving a way. That is just looking for trouble for the recipient.
    If the person donating the iPad wants to also donate Apps for it, you can wait until the Winner is chosen, and then have the donator Gift The Apps to the winner's Apple ID if they have one.  Or create one for them on the spot and Gift the Apps that way.
    Setting Up an iPad is part of the fun of getting one, why would you want to deprive the recipient of that?
    Alternatively if you really want to you can choose to just give the sealed iPad to winner, with an itunes Card they can then redeem when they set it up.
    Past that, there's no reason you should be opening the device, as that can make it harder to get a warranty coverage should anything happen. Since its already been opened, there's no way for the winner to be sure that any damage wasn't caused by you, and no way for Apple to confirm that and you can potentially get in more trouble than you need to.
    Personally, a Device such as this should be kept sealed, and handed over ot the winner as if it were picked up at the store. 
    You probably mean well, but its just more trouble than it ultimately is worth.

  • HT204053 We bought our daughter a iPad mini for christmas. Should we set her up her own apple ID or use the one we have. What is the best way for her for school?

    We bought our daughter an iPad Mini for Christmas. Should we create her own apple ID or use the one we currently have for her device as well? What is the best way for her school work?

    Her own ID.  You cannot transfer purchases between IDs so anything bought on your account will require your authorization should she need to download in the future.

  • On my ipad mini my apple id is correct for itunes and app store but is not correct for icloud. how do I fix this?

    On my ipad mini my apple id is correct in the itunes and app but for icloud it is incorrect. How do I fix this? On icloud it shows correctly.

    You can log out of your iCloud account via Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account if not on iOS 8), and you can then log back in with the correct id.

  • I just got an ipad mini for christmas. charged it fully. was using it fine, then went to turn it back on and nothing is happening. i plugged it in and it doesn't even make a sound like it's charging. the screen is completely black. why would this happen?

    Try resetting it.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds.  Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.
    If it's a brand new iPad Mini (with retina display), it is under warranty.  You can always take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for service.

  • IPad mini for writing word documents?

    Can I use the iPad mini for writing word documents etc. Or even if I can use an app and export it for word etc. Is it already loaded app or do I have to buy it?

    Pages, Keynote and Numbers make up the iWork's suite of apps.
    As long as both iPads are using the same Apple ID for purchases from the App Store you could purchase Pages only once. There are drawbacks for using the same Apple ID on multiple devices when those devices are used by different people.
    Pages will export documents in Word format so that can be opened by Word on a Mac or PC. Pages is a nice app but it is not as all encompassing as Word on your regular computer. There is some formatting that can be done in .word that will not translate in Pages. Even with that though I find Pages a good App.

  • Which Ipad mini for 2 Daughters Help

    Hello,
    I'm looking into buying 2 Ipads mini for my 11 and 13 years old daughters for Christmas. I'm familiar with most Apple products but not much when it comes to Ipads.
    I came across to the mini ipad 2 retina 32GB on sale for $299 however I'm not sure if the model and size (32GB) are suitable for them. There's the mini 3 which is more expensive.
    Thanks in advance.

    The biggest issue you could face with a 2 instead of a 3 is that MAYBE the 2 will max out on iOS updates sooner than the 3. And it is just a maybe because none of us know when devices max out. The iPad 1 stopped at iOS 5.1.1, the iPad 2 was eligible for the latest iOS update, which is 8.1.2, but did not get all the features, nor did it get all the features of iOS7.
    So the 3 offers you the longest compatibility. That said, unless you're continually looking for new apps that won't make much of a difference. For example, when my iPad 2 maxes out  then the apps that are on it would continue to work, I just couldn't get any newer versions or may eventually have issues finding compatible new apps.
    Given that it's for children, Id' go for the Mini 2. I would also recommend apple care plus, which is an extended warranty. However it covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage repair. Say your daughter drops it. With Apple Care plus you'll pay a $49 fee for a replacement, without it you'll pay 219 for that same replacement.

  • Help setting up ipad minis for our two kids.

    We purchased ipad minis for my two kids this Christmas (ages 6 & 8).  I have been working on setting them up so they are ready to use.  I created gmail accounts and Apple ID accounts to use for messaging and FaceTime only.  I put restrictions so they can not use email, Facebook, Twitter, Safari, etc.  I plan on using a kid friendly browsing such as Mobicip.  The part I am getting hung up is being able to put certain things on their iPads from my wife's iTunes account.  We have decided to use her account to sync with their new iPads.  Obviously, the kids will not have access to her password on iTunes.  She has very few game apps on her ipad.  I would like to add fun appropriate kid games to her iTunes account to sync to their iPads, but not my wife's.  The same thing with iBooks and music.  Some of my wife's books are not kid appropriate.  I know you can create playlists to share music.  What is the best way to go about setting up iTunes?  Any other things I am forgetting to keep inappropriate material from curious kids.
    Thanks.

    My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?

    If she is receiving your messages - then you must have somehow setup the iPad to use your iPhone number or your email address on her new iPad. How you did that is beyond me unless you set up her new Mini for her and used your Apple ID on it.
    On her iPad got to - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your phone number or email address of that is what is being used for the contact number.

  • 16 GB ipad mini for college

    Hello,
    I'm considering getting a 16 GB ipad mini for college this year. My question is, would 16GB be enough? I plan on using the ipad mostly for note taking. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Because you'll be in college, I suggest you get as much space as is possible!!!
    The thing is, many, many people, once they start using an ipad and learn all they can use it for, end up needing more storage space on their ipads. And you cannot increase space. So go for the most you can afford.
    Our younger son is in college. He got a 64 gb, only thought he'd need only a  32 gb, and he's used more than the 32 gb in a matter of months. He can store text books, documents, etc., financial newspapers (required for classes) and more movies and music than he thought he'd need. (Videos will take up space quickly.) So he's very happy he got the 64 gb. And you actually start out with less than 16 gb because some space is used up by apps and programs that come pre-installed and are necessary for your ipad mini to work.
    If the cost is a strong consideration for you, take a look in the Apple Refurb store on Apple's website.Last year we bought two refurbished ipads from the Apple Refurb store on the Apple website. They are great!
    They come with new covers (front and back,)  a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty. Now with Apple care + ($99.00) you can get more coverage that will also cover accidental damage like broken glass and wet ipads (3 incidents of damage.) I think it's well worth it. PLEASE do not buy a refurb anywhere else!
    If you planned on buying a new 16 gb mini, it costs $279.00 In the refurb store. The refurbished 32 gb mini is $359.00 - twice the space and only $30.00 more than you planned to spend on a new 16 gb. A refurbed 64 gb will cost $110.00 more than a new 16 gb - four times as much space. They are only sold via the website and come in a brand new box.
    So if I were you, I'd go for the certified refurbished ipad from the Apple website. Please note that the different colors and sizes come and go in the refurb store, so when you see what you want, act on it. Delivery is fast.
    Hope this helps.
