IPad mini microphone. Help!

I have a new iPad mini and my only problem is the microphone. Its sensitivity is very poor. Facetime and Skype calls are impossible. What can I do?

I think you are going to have to use recovery mode to gain access to your iPad:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    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.

  • Can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

    can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

    Outlook is an email client and that does not indicate if your email is POP or IMAP. If you have an IMAP email account, all of your emails actions will automatically sync across your devices. If you have POP, it does not work that way.
    If you are asking if you can transfer the current emails on the Mac onto the iPad, no you cannot, unless the email is an IMAP account and they can download onto the iPad again from the server.

  • Very very short battery life - will not hold charge on new ipad mini retina, HELP

    My iPad mini retina OS7 will not hold it's battery charge. I have turned off Location services, do not have apps running in multitude task mode and do not have Bluetooth on.  I close  all aps and the smart case and come back in an hour and find charge will still have gone down  10 to 30%

    Some ideas.

    Otherwise if they don't help take it to an Apple store if possible, they should be able to confirm if the battery is worn oout or some other fault.

    Keep getting warning flash player updates in safari on my ipad mini. Help

    What ever app(website) you are using is written in flash, and is not going to work on an iOS ( or many other) devices. 
    2 choices.
    Get an alternate browser from the App Store.   I hear puffin works ok.  Will not do everything, so try out what ever you are trying to do on a free version before you buy.
    Or
    Many sites and special programs will have an app in the store to access their material.  Look there and see if the one you are trying to use has one.

  • Nicht reproduzierbare Abstürze auf iPad 3 und iPad Mini Retina--HELP

    Meine etwas aufwändigere Präsentation, welche unter iOS 6 ohne Probleme funktionierte, geht jetzt nicht mehr, stürzt nicht reproduzierbar, aber mehrfach pro Durchlauf ab.
    Beim Nutzen der neuen Remotefunktion fiel mir aber unlogischerweise auf, dass es funktioniert, wenn man das iPad als Fernbedienung benutzt und die Präsentation über das iPhone (bei mir iPhone 5) laufen lässt.
    Das erscheint mir unlogisch, weil die Hardware auf dem iPad Mini Retina ja mind. doppelt so schnell sein soll!
    Alle Software-Versionen sind auf dem neuesten Stand, mein iPad Mini hat 128 GB, welche zu 1/3 belegt sind, alle Hintergrund-Apps sind geschlossen und direkt vor dem Keynote-Start habe ich neu gestartet! Es nützt nix, erneut ein Absturz!
    HILFE!

  • IPad 2 Microphone HELP!

    Okay so I got my iPad 2 Today (black, 16gb, wifi) and am amazed by it. However, when I recorded a video, there was no sound. I recorded again, this time SHOUTING into the mic hole at the top, then turned the volume to full. When I replayed the Video, I could *Barely* hear myself. I downloaded a sound recording app, wuth the same results. I rebooted. No  Sound. I Restored to the original. Made a vdeo, NO SOUND AGAIN. PLEASE HELP! I have iOS 4.3.3

    Johannes-
    I got mine yesterday and haven't tried recording a video, so I'm just guessing!
    Do you have a Skype account?  Skype has a test server that lets you test your audio.  The iPhone version works on iPad, and is a free download from the iTunes store.  My voice returned at a reasonable volume when I tried it using the factory volume setting.
    Have you tried playing music to see if the speaker is working?  If the speaker doesn't work, you might plug in earphones and try that.
    When you rebooted, did you hold the home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo appeared?  I can't think of anything else to try if that didn't help.
    Whether your problem is speaker or microphone, it sounds like you may have a defective iPad.

  • IPod mini microphone help

    Does anyone know if the mini can support a microphone? I contacted Belkin and received a reply saying they no longer make the mic, but the model of it was Belkin F8E478. Anyone know if it will work? I was able to find them for sale for about $20.
    Thanks in advance.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The new nanos are supported by the Belking Tuntalk, as well as the XtremeMac MicroMemo.
    I hope this helps!

  • I cant turn on wifi on ipad mini please help??

    Hi guys I cant turn on wifi on on my ipad ios 7 1.2 I try restore network and didn't work please help

    I Don't know what you did in order to restore your network. I'm not sure what that means exactly. But take a look at this, if your WiFi settings are greyed out.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

  • IPad Mini Microphone not very sensitive.

    Has anyone else tried Facetime or Google+ Hangouts and found the microphone to be pretty poor?  I need to actually put my mouth an inch or so away for anyone to hear me.  I would try my iPhone 4 headphones but I don't think that mic ever worked.  Curious if this is an overall design flaw or if mine is defective.

    Since the mini is new, I wouldn't think this would be the problem, but try it. Could be dust in the mic hole. Use a vacuum on the hole.
    Hold onto it if using a vacuum !  It's so light it might get sucked up and scratched!
