IPad Mini retina - lots of problems with iOS8

My iPad Mini Retina, which was working flawlessly for the past year, has now started giving trouble after I updated to iOS 8. It reboots every once in a while, after a brief bluish screen (reminds me of the dreaded Windows blue screen of death). This is not linked to any specific app, and happens very very frequently. Besides, many times the iPad freezes for a short while, sometimes the mutitasking gestures don't work... These minor irritants are driving me mad. Make me wonder if Apple has been hasty in releasing iOS8 without adequate testing and debugging.This is persisting despite updating to iOS 8.0.2. Hope Apple finds a fix for this soonest.

Hi aggi74,
If you are having issues with unexpected restarts and freezes, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

    As far as I know debit cards aren't accepted as a valid payment method. There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Depending upon what country that you in you might be able to buy iTunes gift cards from Apple or other stores (supermarkets, electronics stores etc) and use those to buy items - but they aren't available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue

  • IPad Mini retina screen orientation problem still not solved?!

    I have also been having the screen orientation problem on my iPad Mini retina. I cannot find out what the problem is or how to solve it. The switch does not help it and neither does changing the settings.  Nor does rebooting. Also, the volume on the retina is definitely lower than the ordinal iPad Mini. If I had known this I would've kept the original. I am on IOS 7.1.2.

    If you have Reset it, Restored it from Backup and Restored it as new and none of these helped then you will need to get it serviced.

  • Ipad mini retina display safari crashed with ios 8.0.2

    After updating my daughters iPad Mini retina display, safari crashes as soon as anything is entered in the search box. This started after IOS 8.0.2 update.
    I have rebooted and reset the iPad. I have cleared the history and website data, but nothing has helped.

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Does the iPad mini retina wifi only come with GPS?

    I want to use the wifi mini retina with Garmin Pilot, an aviation app. Does the wifi only version come with GPS installed or do I have to get a 4G/LTE version?

    You need the 4G/LTE version. The WiFi version does not have GPS.

    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?!

  • Does anyone have battery problems with iPad mini retina?

    I am noticing that there may be an issue with my iPad Mini Retina battery.
    I will put to charge at night and in the morning it will say it is at 23% when I actually unplug it
    it changes to 100 or 93%.
    Is this happening to anyone else.
    Could it be I use it too much???
    It is only 1 year old.

    The same thing happened to me. I think what happens is that the OS update starts ALL of your apps running in the background and burns through th battery....
    I don't see that as causing the issue though.  Plain fact is that only a very few apps can truly RUN in the background (i.e. execute some task, like playing music).  Most apps in the recent tasks bar are suspended (similar to a UNIX halt state), not running, since the iOS only supports a very limited sort of multitasking and most apps do not have any code that can, in fact, run in the background.
    So, for those experiencing the reduced battery life, I think something else must be happening, although I don't know what since my battery life has been excellent with all the upgrades.  Just saying that I'd suspect some other cause for those with the problem.

  • Problem with 7.0.4 update on iPad Mini Retina

    Hello,
    I just got my iPad Mini Retina today and after setting up the iPad I get a message that a new OS update 7.0.4 is available for the iPad so I accept and go with the update. But the Apple device is rebooting and is not finishing the update.
    All I see is the Apple logo with a thin gray bar underneath indicating the update but nothing happens. It has been like this for the last half hour.
    Is this a know issue? How do I get the device to boot again?
    Thanks
    Gopinath

    Sorry, I called Apple Support and they asked me to do a hard reboot and it just booted. The hard reboot is to press and hold the home button and and on/off button at the top.
    This rebooted the ipad and also had the updated ios 7.0.4.
    The support person said sometimes the wifi connectivity could cause a problem with reboot after an OS update.
    Thanks

  • IPad mini/retina Hotspot used by iPhone 5 - Problem

    Hello!
    Devices: iPad mini retina wifi+cell iOS 7.1.1 & iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1
    i want to use the dataconnection of the iPad with my iPhone (most people want it revers, i know)
    Problems to be solved
    WIFI:
    iPhone drops wifi connection after autolock/sleep mode and can't reconnect like in normal wifis cause:
    iPad stops broadcasting the hotspot when in autolock/sleep mode.
    i know iPhone wouldn drop the conn. if i deactivate mobilenetwork, but i need it too when i'm not in reach of the iPad - so this is no option
    And to keep one or both devices unlocked and active, isn't an option as well...
    BT:
    Since i read, that BT connections won't be dropped i tried to connect by BT to the hotspot, but this only works from iPhone to iPad (iPhone = Hotspot, iPad = Sink) but if i try it the other way, i get the message the conn. cant be established.
    I also tried a VPN to keep the wifi alive in lockscreen, but it won't work above iOS 6 as far i see.
    please tell me, that there is any option, app or magical voodoo to solve this problem. i had an galaxy tab befor as hotspot and it worked well... :-( i don't want to go back to samsung!
    The best solution would be, if the hotspot broadcast would stay active the whole time...
    Thank a lot and i hope someone can help me
    Alex

    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 )

    Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

    my ipad mini retina display is disabled because my blue tooth key board made number key entries while in my back pack.   How do I re-enable?

    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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • IPad Mini Retina not syncing with iTunes

    My iPad Mini Retina has not been syncing with iTunes for some time. 
    I have reset it - by holding down the home and power key.  I am using the new Macbook Air 2014 - because it has crashed on a few occasions it has also been restarted recently. 
    I am running IOS 7.1.2 on the Mini and 11.3 on the Mac Air.  It has stopped at various parts but the last few times has been stopping at Step 4 of the sync. A few people seem to have had this issue but I have not found a resolution yet.
