Ipad mini retina ios 8 update - useless wifi connection

Hi,
I updated my ipad mini retina display to latest version of ios 8 yesterday. What a disaster that turned out to be - since updating wifi connection to my BT homehub 5 router has been terrible. It will work for a few minutes then the connection just sticks - it not the router as iphone 5 and laptop work perfectly with it.
Tried a hard re-set, re-setting the network settings & finally reset to original setting - same thing happens.
Anyone help me with this? I so wish I'd never run this update and stuck with ios7 - presumably there is no way back??
Thanks

Hi,
Same issue here, unstable connection since I updated to iOS 8.0.2, I need to turn off/on the wifi when it happens. That is not a router issue as my other devices work perfectly (iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0.2 by the way)
I already restored my iPad min three times in vain !
Waiting for for a fix, that's all we can do but it's very frustrating and disappointing !

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
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.

IPad mini retina, iOS 7 unable to join Personal Hotspot

I have iPhone 5, iPad mini retina running on iOS 7.1.2, Laptop Windows. When I turn on Personal Hotspot (PH), other PC, Tablet,.. suppose to join the PH normally via Wifi, Bluetooth, Cable. But I found that after my iPhone join a 5GHz band wifi, and then I turn on HP, other PC can't connect via Wifi, only can connect via Bluetooth or Cable.
I use a Linksys EA3500 dual band wifi router. It works perfectly for my need
So say in step that won't work:
1. Connect iPhone to a 5GHz band wifi at home
2. Later I hang out and need to share my 3G with my ipad mini wifi, so I turn on PH
3. All devices failed to connect to PH via Wifi, but bluetooth or cable can connect successful
Step that works:
1. iPhone already connect to 5GHz band at home, before I leaving home, I connect it again to a 2.4GHz band
2. Turn on PH where don't have wifi
3. Other device successful connect to PH.
So the problems here is the 5 GHz band problem with iPhone. After connect to 5GHz band, other devices can't connect to iPhone, like it refused other devices to connect to, or something like problem with iOS 7.
p/s: I have already doing the "clean" state of iOS 7 to test on both iPhone and iPad. Do a restore on both device, test its and same problem.

Thanks for your response,
You should check with the apple site before saying this, from iPhone 5 and above, it has already support for 5GHz bands. If my iPhone does not compatible with 5GHz bands how come it connect to 5GHz band back home

iOS 8 GENERAL PROBLEMS
The same here. My iPad Mini retina became laggy, crashy, with bunch of problems even with this last 8.0.2 update!!
And that's not all:
BLUETOOTH in iOS 8 seems completely BROKEN!!!
After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8, (also after update to 8.0.2.), bluetooth service in the phone is completely lost!!
Tried everything, reset network settings, deleted bluetooth devices, renamed iPhone, restarted it (soft reset), NOTHING!!!
I can't connect iPhone with my car bluetooth handsfree anymore.
And that's not all! My iPhone can't even connect with my iPad, so I can forget about Airdrop as well!!!!
So frustrating!!!! As if BT service in the phone is broken!!!
Do I need to say, everything worked flawless in iOS 7!!
what is happening with Apple?!? This lasts too many days already, for how long more should we wait for its reaction?!

Ipad mini Retina (iOS 7.1.1) front camera not working

I had just noticed that my front facing camera doesn't work on my iPad mini retina. Both it and my iPhone 5S are running the latest of iOS. My iPhone works but not my ipad. Anybody run into the same issue. About to go down to the apple store and get it figured out. Already did a refresh on the ipad, refresh from backup. Help?

Hi Chrisrd77,
If the camera on your iPad is not functioning correctly I would suggest following the steps in this article relating to the camera. Note that the article is primarily about iPhones but the camera troubleshooting steps are the same for the iPad -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

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.

VPN-User,
Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.
Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those. This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
Thanks for your patience

IPad mini retina - The connected device requires too much power.

Hi,
I just bought the IDJ Live 2 Controller on 6 march 2014.
when I connect the lightning cable to the ipad and idj live 2, it shows me an error.
Unable to use the device: The connected device requires too much power.
i use the original cable from numark idj, my configuration is:
ipad mini retina ios 7.0.6 - idj live 2.
I tried with iPhone 4, it works well. (same ios)
I also have a sd card lighting adapter and it works on the iPad mini retina.
Currently it is not possible to power the lightining cable..
maybe in future, will Apple increase the output current through new ios?

No, because the other end of the lighining cable has a mini usb (type b) connector.

Probablemente un problema de hardware. Creo que es hora de llevarlo a la tienda de Apple más cercano. Podría haber un cambio suelto o mal connecters.

Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

Hi,
I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

pandora? once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on. not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.
If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot. Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
(look on e bay for a used one )

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 2 iOS8 alarm when USB connect to MacBook Air iTunes 12

I have a new MacBook Air 13" (OS X V 10.10 1.7 GHz i7) with iTunes 12.0.1 and Yosemite 10.10. I was able to sync and back up my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1). When I plug my iPad Mini Retina (iOS 8.1) it dings and shakes the battery status icon repeatedly and the MacBook gets a message that says "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on 'iPad name'? Options are Cancel and Continue. Either changes nothing on iPad, but periodically brings up message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." on iTunes on MacBook. The only option is OK. That begins a loop of that message.
I've tried restarting the MacBook and the iPad but it doesn't change the message.
I first tried it with 8.0 with the same issues so I don't think it's in this release.
During the first time this happened it, put up a message on the iPad asking about trusting this computer. I tried to select trust, but the dialog box jiggled and flickered and then came back. That no longer happens.
I've tried using Settings: General: Reset: Reset Location & Privacy.
I was able to back up the iPad to my office PC using iTunes 12.0.1 after I tried and failed backing up on the MacBook.

Since that is a new computer you have, I would take advantage of Apple a Support for the issue ... :-) ... my first choice would be to go to the Genius Bar. Take both down there and show them!
