Ipad Mini Retina Charging Issue

Does anyone experience the slight ground of the device when charging?

You can't downgrade the iOS level so forget about that. I doubt that this is due to iOS 8.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

IPad Mini Retina Charging

the charger that came with my mini worked just fine and then I oost it one day at work..
i Tried using the iPhone adapter and some aftermarket tools but nothing worked .. I discovered I needed a stronger adapter and went and purchased one but continued to use the aftermarket "cord" .. My iPad now only charges to ~74 or 75 then says "Not Charging" no matter what I do.. I'm lost can anyone help me.

Don't use an aftermarket cable. Some may be qualified by Apple and will work fine while others (cheap) may work sporadically/intermittently They can cause the very issue you are seeing. Also try to clean out the Lighting port on the device. Dust/dirt/lint can get lodged inside creating a bad connection issue. Clean it out with a clean brush (a toothbrush will work).

IPad mini(Retina) charges a little weird?

So I think that my USB cord is fine, but sometimes when I plug it in to my iPad it does nothing. But when I pull everything completely out of the outlet and put it back in it starts to charge until I disconnect the cord from my iPad and reconnect it and then it'll stop charging even when I mess with it. Also, it seems to be a little slow charging from 98% to 100%. Thanks for help!!

Actually you can use the ipad mini as a phone and it actually makes the best and cheapest phone to have, and you aren't held down to a phone plan. And you can have a dedicated phone number to make and receive calls. At times people aren't aware of all it can do. But thats why there's people like me
Here are the steps
1. Get a cellular equiped IPAD. It will be data only ofcourse.
2. Get a google voice account. ( you will be assigned a phone number)
3. Download Talkatone
4. After setting up Talkatone with your google voice number, You'll be able to make and receive calls and text and it will be your primary phone.
Cost every month. Just the cost of your data plan. Cheapest phone ever. 30 bucks a month.
As I said, you can use an iPad with VOIP services - no one ever said you could not use it as a Phone. You can use just about any internet enabled device with VOIP as long as there is software for that device.
You cannot use the phone number assigned to your iPad data plan as a phone number however.

IPad mini Retina suddenly stopped charging

I have an iPad mini Retina, iOS 8.1.2, which is now out of warranty, but I got a serious problem with it: One day, while it was charging with an Apple original cable and wall charger, the "This accesory may not be compatible" message was displayed and, since then, it never charged again with any charger. I have cleaned the outlet and the cable itself for any lint, etc., but nothing changed. All the accesories are Apple-branded and original, so I don't understand why is this happening and I'm stuck with an useless, beautiful $400 brick.
Thanks for any feedback on this issue.

Hi Maybe a hardware problem make an Appointment at Apple Store They may replace ipad but you will need to pay part of the cost. Cheers Brian

IPad Mini Retina Display Intense Flickering Issue

Hi all, I've got an iPad Mini Retina 16 Gb iOS 7.1.2, I purchased at end of November 2013. Beginning yesterday, I had two incidents several hours apart where the display would suddenly start flickering like an old black and white TV set. First time it occurred I thought it may be an app issue/incompatibility as I had just downloaded an app from the App store. I couldn't do anything with the device, so I held the on/off button down to do a hard shut down, I couldn't actually see the swipe bar to shut down but I swiped where it usually is and then shut the thing down. It was fine when I turned back on, so I just chalked it up to a one-time anomaly. About 3-4 hours later the same thing happened completely out of the blue. Did the same thing, intense gray scale flickering like an old b/w TV. Did a hard shut down again then turned back on and it was fine. Well it just happened again today which means the display flicker issue has now happened 3 times in the last 24 hours. I even took a photo of the display flicker with my iPhone so I'd have something to show someone at the Genius Bar.
Anyone else hear of this issue? If so, anyone know what causes it? I've resigned myself to a Genius Bar appt in the next day or two which hopefully means a quick swap with a replacement device. Input appreciated!

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)

I plug my 1 month old iPad mini retina into a uk plug socket using the out of the box charger, it charged from 0-27% in 3 hours and now refuses to charge at all. Any ideas are more than welcome!!!

I plugged my iPad Mini Retina in to charge this morning in a UK plug socket using the official out of the box charger.
It charged from 0-27% in roughly 3 hours.
I have come home to find it is not charging at all, when turned off when I plug the powered cable in it does turn on as if it is receiving power but it does not charge.
It is 1 month old and hasn't experienced heavy usage as such.

Thanks Sig. The information is here: Anything useful stand out?

IPad Mini Retina acts buggy w/ enclosed 10W charger ?

My new 16G iPad Mini Retina 4GLTE came with a 10W charger. But as soon as you plug in the charger (I use an electrical outlet and NOT a computer) the iPad starts acting buggy; it will continuously blink and beep on and off-- the same as usual if the iPad has just been plugged in to charge, but it will blink off immediately and then blink/beep on and off again continuously until it's unplugged.
It's hard to say whether the iPad battery is actually charging in this state, because I unplug it right away from being freaked out. I do not see the little "lightning" charge icon next to the battery indicator though, so I doubt it.
Other 10W adapters from older iPads which have worked perfectly fine before, behave exactly the same way when plugged into the Mini. Thankfully, I have a 5W charger from an iPhone5, and that seems to do the trick.
But what if I didn't have a 5W charger? Is there a fix for this? Shouldn't a 10W charger work fine? Is there something wrong with my iPad Mini Retina?

Is this an Apple charger? Presumably yes.
The Apple 10W charger should work fine with the iPad Mini Retina.
There could be a problem with the Retina iPad Mini.
If this problem occurs regularly take it and the charger to an Apple Store for evalution or contact Apple Support.

Ipad mini retina dispaly wifi issues 8.0.2

Hello,
Ipad Mini Retina Display version ios 8.0.2
Model ME814C/A
Scenario:
Before the upgrade to 8.0.2 WIFI the IPAD connected immediately when I arrived home and browsing the Internet was fast (did not do a speed test before the upgrade).
After the upgrade to 8.0.2 WIFI shows as being connected in the General Tab but I am unable to browse the internet. Messages come in to Facebook Messenger but I am unable to respond to them because it shows as connecting.
What I've done to Troubleshoot the issue:
I have to go to General, WIFI, Turn Off WIFI and turn it back on then it connects. I leave the ipad idle for say 1 min and again it disconnects from the WIFI.
I went to General clicked on reset and clicked on Reset Network settings and the result is the same.
I went to General and clicked erase all contents and settings and I still get the same result.
I switched DNS to 8.8.8.8 and still the same result.
Apple support are you working to address these lingering wifi issues?
Much appreciated

I have two different ISPs. My connection to U-verse is very slow, but my iPad mini connects rIght away and stays connected. My TWC connection is much faster yet the iPad connection lasts for a very short time, unless I am sitting directly in front of the router with the iPad almost touching it. It always shows that the iPad is connected though. Otherwise I am constantly rebooting the iPad, removing and re entering the router info, turning wifi on and off, etc. before the 8.0 update, my mini worked perfectly.

The maximum SOUND level is low on iPad mini retina, compared to an iPhone 4s. Research shows this is a common problem for this model around the world. Has anyone succeeded in solving this issue? Many Thanks, Peter.

Ipad mini retina screen colours washed out?. Apple has already fixed the issue?

Hi everyone
First of all, sorry if i dont write in the best way, i am from Spain and my elglish is medium-basic.
I am looking to buy an Ipad mini with retina display.
I readed many reviews from december 2013 that say thar ipad mini 2 screen only covers 63% of adobe srgb colour gamut. Nexus 7 covers 100%
All this issues where noticed on the end of 2013. I want to know if this is fixed or the problem continues now
Those of you who have an ipad mini and ipad air too, Can you compare and say me if you notice any colour issue. your ipad mini have to be bought on 2014 becouse its known that ipad mini retina 2013 have the issue.
Thank! regards

in terms of colours, i cannot see much difference except saturation being a bit lower on the iPad mini.
I will agree with this. I have an iPad 3, an iPad 4, an iPad mini (1st gen) and an iPad mini Retina. Direct comparison between the devices reveals lack of color saturation on the mini Retina but it's not as bad as some may make it out to be. I'll also agree about it's looking more natural compared to the others, especialy compared to the iPad 3 & iPad 4 which can almost seem a bit on the garish side as far as saturation goes. It's almost (but not quite) like buying a new LCD TV and using it's default picture setting which is almost always "Dynamic"...and what the stores set it to to get them to "pop" on the display wall. It's nowhere near being a natural image. As was mentioned, yes the saturation is a bit diminished on the mini Retina but I wouldn't consider it much of an issue...
That being said, I don't know if it has been "corrected" since I don't consider it much of an issue to begin with.

Will an iPad mini retina purchased in Spain work and charge in the uk

I Had to replace two stolen iPad mini retinas whilst on holiday in Spain. I've been home about a week now and both are very slow to charge at best and will not charge at all on most of my high speed or normal chargers!
they we're bought in the Apple shop Murcia and at the time I asked the assistant to confirm they would be compatible for working in the uk Which she confirmed that they would!
is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Hi Mjj8801,
Apple’s iPad power adapters are designed to use any power system that falls within 100 - 240V AC, 50 - 60 Hz, 0.15A. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

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.

Issue with tabs frequently reloading on my iPad Mini Retina

After opening 4 tabs (sometimes just 2 or 3) on my iPad Mini Retina, returning to the first opened tab has me needing to reload it on Safari. Same case when I exit to another app like Gmail or the Appstore and then return to the browser. Why is that so?
On my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, I can open up to 8 tabs (maybe more, never tried) and switch between them with zero reloads, and can use a couple of apps and return to the browser with all tabs fully loaded as before.
Thanks!
