IPad mini not turning on less than a week after purchase!

Hello everyone. I bought a new iPad mini 64G last Saturday while on vacation in Canada. I just returned to Qatar and was using my new iPad the past 2 days after restoring from my account for my old iPad. today, I leave to charge and after a little over an hour, I try to use it and it won't turn on! tried resetting but nothing happens, tried charging, again nothing, connected to itunes, nothing! There is no Apple store in this country, and they will acknowledge anything not purchased from a local store. Any ideas please?

Reset like this?
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Connected to iTunes ... To do what? Restore the iPad? Connected to iTunes doesn't really tell us anything. Try restoring the iPad software. If iTunes does not recognize the iPad, try Recovery mode. recovery mode is covered at the very end of this support article if you need it.

Why will my iPad mini not turn on FaceTime in settings?

Seriously, I can't use FaceTime at all on my iPad mini, because it thinks that I have FaceTime turned off in settings, but I don't!

Most USB port do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.
iPhone only need a 5W charger.
iPad however need a 10W or 12W charger.

Verizon Promotion arrives less than 48 hrs after Purchase of new phone/contract

On 4 MAY, after waiting an entire month of waiting for an hard to resist Verizon Wireless promotion to land at my feet that related to the phone and the plan I was interested in, I gave up waiting and upgraded to a GzOne Commando Phone and extended my 2 Year Agreement.
My total bill was $137 and change.Phone, Accessory Kit and Upgrade Fee
Then can you believe it? less than 48 hours I am sent the following message from Verizon today:
YOU CHOOSE
Get a Free Phone or 2 months of line access FREE Call 1-877-492-8454 today. 2 year agreement required, $30 upgrade fee may apply.
Is there anything that Verizon can do for me? Can I get my phone for free after all?
Or 2 months of "line access?"
I was upset enough yesterday, because I asked the CHAT representative why I had to pay an upgrade fee when I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years. They basically gave me the impression everyone pays. If that is so what does it say above "$30 upgrade MAY apply?"

Unless things have changed recently, you're correct. The on-line price for a phone that I ordered dropped about 10 days after mine arrived; I called CS and they credited the difference to my account. This was over a year ago, so the policy could have changed, but I haven't heard any noise that it has.
You know Tiki I have never purchased my cell phones on line. Never ever. I always go into the store near me and purchase them there.
Like I said I have never known Verizon Wireless to price match. Online of course may be different.
I am not even sure if Best Buys or Staple Stores will even price match. I will next time I am in those stores ask.

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.

Pls help m out.

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

TS1398 first off my ipad will not turn on by just pressing the on button,although its fully charge. ok than when I plug it up its says wifi is not connected

First off my ipad will not turn on by pushing the start button. when plug up and after touching setting,wi-fi on the left says not connected

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

My iPad is not turning off. What can I do?

My iPad is not turning off. What can I do? Tried to find something about in the internet and has found nothing.

I really don't know what else to try except for restoring the iPad - or letting the battery totally drain, recharge the iPad and then see if it will work.
The problem with letting the battery drain is I would be afraid that you would not be able to turn the iPad on. However, usually when you recharge the iPad, it turns on again by itself.
Anyway, in the meantime, until you can get this resolved - you don't have to turn the iPad off for my reason other than to restart for troubleshooting purposes. If the iPad will recharge and if it goes to sleep OK, there is no reason to have to turn it off.
When exactly happens when you try to reboot? Does the red slider at appear at all?

I just got my iPad 3 less than a week ago from target, do they get the iPad 4 now too or is it just in apple stores?

Just bought less than a week ago and wondered if ipad4 just came out would it go to target the same time it comes out in apple stores? I bought the iPad 3 there and I'm gonna exchange it. Just thought I would ask!

I'm not sure when Target will get it and usually the stores don't know, either. To be sure though, I suggest you take it back immediately (in case they have a 7 vs. 14 day return policy because it's a tech product.) Try to get your money back vs. a credit, and hold off until the new one comes out. Because you did not buy it from Apple, the extended thirty day exchange probably will not work at Target.
If you must take a credit, wait for Target to get the ipad 4 or buy it from Apple and use the Target credit over time for things you usually buy there. I think, because the holidays are coming, Apple resellers like Target will get them soonafter the Apple launch. (I've never studied Apple's pattern on this, but it probably wouldn't matter because this release took care of the importance of doing that.)
Erase, restore, and bring it and all the cables, etc. that it came with back to Target ASAP!!!

My ipad mini dont turn on

my ipad mini dont turn on i try and try and it doesnt turn on what can i do?

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.

HT201412 My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for 10 secs but no response. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait or landscape view...any suggestions?

My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the slep/wake button and home button for more than 10 secs but nothing hapened. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait and landscape views...

While this could potentially be a hardwar issue:
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
If the reset doesn't work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.
