IPad Mini Retina and Win 8.1 Connection Looping

When I plug in ipad mini to new ASUS PC that I just upgraded to Win 8.1 the USB connection does not stay permanently established. The ipad loops between connecting and not connecting and just keep looping back and forth. The device manager goes back and forth displaying the ipad. Worked fine on Win 8.
Can anyone help?

Hi Sddhrth92,
If you are having an issue with your iPad randomly restarting, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Device unexpectedly restarts, displays Apple logo, or powers off
In particular, since your iPad is up to date with iOS 8.0.2 -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Itunes no longer connects to 5S, ipad Mini retina and ipad 2 after ios 8.02 update

Since the ios 8 and now 8.02 updates my Itunes does not connect at all to my iphone 5s, ipad mini (retina) and ipad 2.
iTunes' built in diagnostic sync test says no devices found.
I plug in the USB and nothing happens.
USB ports are working fine. All my other USB plug ins still work fine.
Same computer, same Windows 7 - 64 bit - all updated.
I did a clean iTunes delete per Apple instructions and then re installed iTunes again per Apple instructions and still nothing.
I got first a missing DLL error message and then not even a beep when plugging in the cord (yes all Apple accessories).
Anyone else run into this issue?
Sheesh I hate updates!
Thanks!

For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

IPad Mini Retina and iPad Air Worldwide LTE 4G ?

I live in Egypt and I travel to the US sometimes so I was thinking about getting an iPad Mini Retina or iPad Air.
I've read that there is only one model from each iPad that supports 14 LTE bands in many countries in Europe and Middle East as well as the USA and it is unlocked but since it comes with pre-installed Sim card from US network vendors and there is no way to order an iPad without one, I am still confused.
Technically there is still no LTE/4G here in Egypt but my network carrier is already testing band 2600 so I need to make sure whether any iPad Mini Retina ot iPad Air I get from the US would work for me here or not.
Thanks in advance

It comes with a sim card. But you can simply take it out, and put one in for your own carrier.
While using your Egyptian sim in Egypt you'll get whatever your carrier offers. Likely 3G.
Now when travelling abroad, either you use your Egyptian Carrier's roaming plans whcih can be expensive or you can get an american pay as you go card. So you only pay for it when yoiu are going to use it. When arriving in the US, simply swap sim cards and the iPad will connect to the carrier the sim car belongs to.

Handoff not working between iPad Mini Retina and 2014 Macbook Air

So, I've upgraded to Yosemite today on my 2014 Macbook Air and have updated to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad Mini Retina.
Both are on the same wifi network. Both have bluetooth enabled and are paired.
Both have handoff enabled on them.
With all that, I cannot for the life of me get handoff/continuity to work between them. I've reset both machines and reset network settings on the iPad but still no joy.
Am I missing something?
PS I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming it should work between an MBA and iPad?
Thanks in advance.

Hello JMC1989,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like there is a problem with handoff. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Ipad mini retina and Apple TV

I just got a retina Ipad mini a little over a week ago and an Apple TV (3) yesterday. When I turned on mirroring on my 1080p TV I get black bars on either side and a slightly narrower image on the TV. I figured this is due to the different aspect rations of the Ipad (2048x1536) and the max resolution of the display (1920x1080). I've tried using the TV (Sony XBR2) screen adjustments but can't get a full screen without zooming - which of course, cuts off the edges of the display. The only solution appears to be getting a newer TV that can handle the higher Ipad resolution but that would involve having to get a new TV. Are there any other options short of replacing my TV with one that does the higher res?
Thanks
Norm

Have you tried setting your TV Resolution?

Ipad mini retina and gorilla glass

Do anyone knows "FOR SURE", not i think, or someone told me, with a link to it, if ipad mini has or doesnt have gorilla glass?
I dont want to hear your stories, feelings, etc. Just the facts maam!

It does not have Gorilla Glass. It uses a different type of glass but with similar if not identical properties. If you did a bit of Google searching you probably would have found this on your own.

Bluetooth between iPad mini retina and iPhone 5

Hi All.
Post upgrade to iOS 8 on both my iPad and iPhone i am unable to pair the 2 devices over Bluetooth.
I Have restored both my devices through iTunes and set up as new devices but I am still unable to pair together. This is stopping my from tethering my iPad to my iPhone.
Has anyone experienced these issues after upgrading to iOS 8 ?

Well, there is no apple here, take it back to where you bought it.

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

IPad mini Retina keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from Macbook Pro USB 3.0

Good evening everyone,
I know this title seems similar to existing questions around the internet, but they were either out of date or didn't lead to an answer.
The two devices in question are an iPad Mini Retina and a Macbook Pro late 2013. They are both up-to-date in software terms with iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3.
I kind of ruled out the cable as the culprit because the connection to my iPhone is flawless which makes me think the USB ports aren't part of the problem either (Problem occurs on both Ports). Connecting the iPad to a power socket works fine as well.
As the title states it (re-)connects and disconnects in intervals of approx. 0.5 seconds which is followed by a "dong", the charging symbol on the iPad and a message in iTunes which either states "Device isn't connected" or "Device wasn't found". I tried to check the box in iTunes "Prevent devices from automatically syncing[...]" but nothing changed.
This problem does not occur at all times but I have not been able to get a hold of when it does work.
I also tried a diagnose on my Macbook but no errors have been found and the iTunes Version is up to date as well.
This is about all the input I got and really do hope to get some helping answers.
Looking forwards for and appreciating your answers
Marius

It does seem to be a cable issue although the iPhone got no problems.. Mysterious.
Thank you

Brand new iPad Mini Retina won't charge when its connected to my PC

I just opened up my brand new iPad Mini Retina and attempted to plug it into my PC and set it up. The iPad quickly recognizes my PC, briefly displays the charge symbol then immediately displays "not charging." I have attempted to plug the iPad into the wall, and it charges just fine. All the cables I'm using are straight out of the box which I bought right from the Apple Store so I know its not any of those. My laptop is fully charged and also plugged into the wall, so I know its not my computer. I also double checked everything by plugging my iPhone 5 into my computer (with the new iPad lightening cable) and it charges/syncs just fine. Im stumped, please help me fix my brand new iPad Mini Retina.

I know you said PC, for for others that have an iMac with USB 3 ports, they can put out extra power to charge an iPad. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US)

Transfering Music from PC to iPad Mini Retina

My experience to date has only been with Windows based machines.
I have now a new iPad Mini Retina and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer some of my music from my PC to the iPad. I don't want to transfer it all.
Do I need to download a particular app - could you give me a url? Maybe point me to a tutorial? Most of the music has been ripped from my CD collection, I don't think I bought any from iTunes.
Sorry if I seem to be asking an obvious question but it's only obvious when you know the answer.

You don't need an app, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and sync your music to your iPad - the only way to get music into the iPad's built-in Music app is by downloading it from the iTunes store directly on your iPad or syncing it from a computer's iTunes. If you don't have iTunes installed on your computer then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And if you haven't synced your iPad to your computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
For your music, if you haven't already got it in your computer's iTunes library (and if it's in a compatible format) then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library (control-B should get the drop-down menus to show if they aren't already showing). Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select which of your iTunes music that you want in your iPad's Music app.

Ipad mini retina keep rebooting after restored the old iPad mini's setting from iCloud

Please advise,

IPad mini retina low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

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.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

IPad mini retina screen protector

I need to get a screen protector for the new iPad mini retina and, after some googling, can't locate anything confirming whether the layout of the screen exactly matches that of the predecesor, iPad mini. Is the footprint of the two devices exactly the same?

The screens are exactly the same. I have a Tech Armor HD Screen Protector on my iPad Mini and absolutely love it. You wouldn't even know it was on there if I didn't tell you.

Do i need screeguard for ipad mini retina?

i got new ipad mini retina and to protect its screen from dust do i need a screen guard or it doesn't need ?
if yes please suggest which brand should i buy in Indian market. i am confused.

It's a personal preference thing. I've always had one. I figure that it's an expensive device and I like to protect it. Others swear to never use one and never have.
I would suggest, if you do get one, don't get a cheap no-name off amazon. I have a Zagg protector on mine (not sure if they're available in India but they do have a website). They are expensive - my iPad 2 one cost me $30, however they're guaranteed for life.
