Ipad mini message alerts and banners not working.

My ipad mini isn't making message sounds when I receive iMessages or showing banner alerts even tough it's all set up and turned on to do so.

Took a trip to the Genius Bar and about 2 minutes to correct: The Dynex HDMI Cable from Best Buy didn't work. The Apple one works fine.
Now I find my Movie Download from Comcast On Demand won't play thru the adapter. The Movie plays fine on the Mini, but I get a screen warning it's being blocked by Apples' Relationship with Starz. Funny, Comcast says it works fine. Another example of Apple forcing me to use the I-Tunes store on their products if I want to see it on their Hardware? If I pay for the rights thru Comcast, and they don't limit my Hardware, is it right for a Computer Maker too?  After the E-Books price fixing probe...are these kinds of issues next?

  • Ipad Mini :Lightning /HDMI Video Out Not working

    I just tried a new Apple Ipad/IPhone AV HDMI/ Lightning adapter to try and play videos to my TV/Monitors thru their HDMI Port.
    The Ipad Mini recognized it was plugged in and notified me it was playing thru my TV.
    But I got no audio/video thru the TV and no indication it was getting a signal thru the adapter.
    What am I doing wrong?
    The HDMI input in my Flatscreen HD TV shows my Mac Mini screen perfectly and any videos I have thru it.
    Bad adapter, bad HDMI cable, operator error?
    What is the system NOT playing content?
    The $49.00 adapter should work flawlessly at this price point, imho.

  • My daughters ipad mini is frozen and will not swipe.  I have reset and the restored to factory settings

    my daughter ipad mini is frozen.  it will not let me swipe.  I have rebooted and then restored to factory settings but I am still unable to swipe.
    She has had problems with this ipad in the past and told at the reading store, by a pretty rude guy that we needed to buy a new one as it kept switching off.  it is only 14 months old and I do not ant to buy a new one if it will only last for this short time.   it has been working pretty much ok for the last month since our trip to the store but now it has totally frozen
    please can someone help me as I can not afford to buy another

    If you have restored the device as new, not from a backup and it is still malfunctioning, then you have a hardware problem. The warranty on the device is one year, but if you take it to the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider and it is determined there is a hardware fault, then you may qualify for an out of warranty replacement, which is at a reduced price, depending on your location. http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/other/

  • IPad Mini 2 security feature is not working as claimed!

    I recently bought my iPad Mini2 (Retina Display – 64GB with T-Mobile service; Serial #DLXLPCE1FLMP) and less than 2 weeks of usage - it has been stolen on December 3, 2013 at airport.  I put my iPad Mini2 on “airplane” mode (no internet service) to save the life of the battery while on the plane and never turn it back on when landed...  I had my iPad Mini2 in my purse when landed in ATL… I picked up my luggage – walking and standing in the crowds…  When I got home, that’s when I realized my iPad Mini2 was no longer in the purse. 
    The next thing I tried to do was “Find My iPhone” option from my other Apple device (iPad2) to locate the missing iPad Mini2 but it’s showing as “offline”.  I then issued “Play Sound”, “Lost Mode” and “Erase iPad” from the “Find My iPhone” feature (see screenshot).  Since the device was offline, the “Erase iPad” function will not work until it’s online.  It was updated with the iOS 7
    I’ve been calling AppleCare Support and at the Apple Store (in person) for help of how ensure that my credential on that iPad Mini2 will not be stolen as well.  They ensured me that since I issued the “Lost Mode” and “Erase iPad”, no one can access to the device to turn off the “Airplane” mode in order to get the internet… not even through my 4-digit security code.  They were wrong! Somehow my device was security breach and that my iPad Mini2 was ERASED at 2:33 AM (Eastern Time) – meaning that whoever has my device had it disabled the “airplane” mode and had internet signal in order for the data to be erased (see screenshot).  I spoke to multiple representatives from Apple and they said that it shouldn’t happen…  I was on the phone for hours and no resolution as far as security goes.
    I’ve tried my best to recover the item but it looks like it belongs into a wrong hand.  I want Apple to replace my newly purchased  iPad Mini2 (Retina Display – 64GB with T-Mobile service) because the Security is not working as claimed…
    Very unhappy customer!!!

    Good luck with that.

  • HT1430 help my ipad mini turn off and will not come on HELP

    I am trying to turn on my ipad mini 16gb and it wont. How can i get it to turn on

    First, plug it into the charger.
    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.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Messaging, FaceTime and calling not working

    I am having trouble sending iMessages, using FaceTime and calling only one contact. Each time I send an iMessage it says not delivered, when I try to call using FaceTime it pops up that the contact is not available for FaceTime and when I call the contact it goes to voicemail. Could they have me blocked?

    Hi,
    Have you allowed either app through the MAc Firewall ?
    (System, Preferences > Security > Firewall)

  • My ipad mini went blank and will not turn on because the button is jammed

    My daughters ipad went blank shortly after updating the new IOS software. The top right button has been inoperable for about six months. It hasn't been a problem until now. Apple store says there is nothing they can do since the button doesn't work. Is there a way to get it fixed or at the very least get the photos off of it.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

    What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
    A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
    How is it setup?
    I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
    I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.
