Ipad mini retina question need help.

I only have enough cash to get one or the other, Ipad mini retina 16gb cellular wifi or 32 gb wifi only, and I have unlimited data on my iphone so I plan to tether anyway, is there any other perks added to buying the cellular one if you just plan to tether?

Get the 32GB wifi only.

IPad Mini Retina Screen needs replacing

I recently dropped and damaged the screen of my iPad Mini Retina and it does need replacing. The iPad is out of warranty.
Can anyone tell me how much Apple will cost to replace the Mini Retina Screen (I live in the UK) Perhaps I'm not reaching the right websites but I've come across poster saying that it can cost £200 plus to have Apple fix a screen, is this correct? Third Party firms appear to be doing the same job for much less, but I do appreciate that by going that route Apple will wash their hands of any future faults.
On their support website Apple have this to say. 'What does it cost? Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPad model and your AppleCare product coverage. Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty. '
I live in a small town quite a bit away from an official Apple outlet can anyone advise me if Apple licence thrid parties to do repairs, there is a wel established iPhone shop in my town and they do repairs but would these be 'official' repairs?
I'm sure some members have had cracked screens over the years, what did you do? Let Apple do the fix or go independant?
As always many thanks for your advice
Kevin

This is the US page about Apple's repair policy for iPad screens: https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/screen-damage/
If you choose to have anyone other than Apple work on the iPad, any and all support for the iPad by Apple won't be available to you anymore.
For what it's worth, I had an independent company (really just one guy running a shop) repair my iPad's cracked screen. The screen was damaged a few months after I'd purchased the iPad, and I paid around $100 for the work.
It's just about 3 years old now and the only issue I had was that the front camera didn't work after the screen was replaced. I brought the iPad back and he double-checked his work and got the camera functioning again. I haven't had any other issues.
If you're willing to take the risk of it being damaged and are OK with paying for a replacement device outright if something goes wrong after the repair, you may as well go with the third-party.
If you'd like the extra insurance (if you will) of Apple's support being available to you, then pay the ~$200 for them to do the work.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset.
If nothing above helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

IPad mini retina constantly reboots after iOS 8.1 update - help!

Hello,
I've downloaded on iPad mini Retina 16 GB iOS 8.1 update and installed it directly from the device (so no iTunes involvement). After it got installed with black apple on white screen (process seemed to be finished) - it started rebooting, but instead of starting up it shows shortly (for just a second) blue screen, after goes black and then reboots again - and all this in constant flux: white screen with black apple - blue flash - black screen - white screen with apple. Connecting to iTunes doesn't make anything - it doesn't recognise the device while in state of reboot.
What can I do?
Help!

Hey there,
Got exactly the same problem here. Can't even reset/ shut off the device, so it keeps on flashing with the blue screen.

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.

HT4623 I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

I switched to Galaxy and I cannot get my messages from I-phone users. I still have my ipad mini but I need to get my messages on my phone...Help!

as robdrage says - they will need to send txts, not imessages. And if you have not already done so - log into apple dot com and get to your profile / device list, and remove the phone. If apple thiks the device is active, and the phone number is the same, it will continue to intercept and misdirect messages.
take a look at this - near the end i how to do it at apple.com (it is not real clear on the web page)

Hi
Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

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.

Nicht reproduzierbare Abstürze auf iPad 3 und iPad Mini Retina--HELP

Meine etwas aufwändigere Präsentation, welche unter iOS 6 ohne Probleme funktionierte, geht jetzt nicht mehr, stürzt nicht reproduzierbar, aber mehrfach pro Durchlauf ab.
Beim Nutzen der neuen Remotefunktion fiel mir aber unlogischerweise auf, dass es funktioniert, wenn man das iPad als Fernbedienung benutzt und die Präsentation über das iPhone (bei mir iPhone 5) laufen lässt.
Das erscheint mir unlogisch, weil die Hardware auf dem iPad Mini Retina ja mind. doppelt so schnell sein soll!
Alle Software-Versionen sind auf dem neuesten Stand, mein iPad Mini hat 128 GB, welche zu 1/3 belegt sind, alle Hintergrund-Apps sind geschlossen und direkt vor dem Keynote-Start habe ich neu gestartet! Es nützt nix, erneut ein Absturz!
HILFE!

IPad mini retina volume - what should I say to genuis?

About ten days back I received a gift of an iPad Mini Retina (32g) from a person I’ve been helping over this past few years. Completely unnecessary; completely taken by surprise; and completely delighted.
With the exception of an old iPod it is my only other Apple product, I need some advice and views from you hardened Apple guys.
Early next week I’m seeing one of Apple’s geniuses for several reasons. The main reason is the issue of volume. Like I’ve read on here and on other forums it seems really quite poor.
I’ve been watching Will Smith in ‘Seven Pounds’ and well it’s just about listenable. If I were to be watching it where there was background noise then I’d probably give up. Yes it is better with ear phones and I haven’t yet got around to streaming it to my TV. I haven’t watched any action films yet but I’m guessing that if there is a gun fight, if buildings are getting burned and blown up there will be no oomph to the sound and sound really is an important part of these films.
Other than Netflix and Bookshelf I’ve put no other apps on the machine and I haven’t transferred any of my music onto it, so with the exception of YouTube, which does seem a little better, I can’t judge what the sound is like there.
Anyway you Apple guys is this a hardware fault, is it a software fault, or to be honest is it just that you can’t expect much volume, much oomph, from a machine of this size?
I’m not tech minded, and as mentioned above I’ve only got this and an old iPod so I’ve no other Apple products to judge it against.
What should I be saying to the guy on the genius counter? What questions should I be asking and what should I expect from him?
I’ve read that these guys can do quite a lot without having to seek authority from above. If this were just a fault on the 32g machine then, if I could negotiate it, I’d quite happily upgrade to the 64g machine.
If it makes any difference I live in the UK
Thanks for any advice you can offer, I’m sure I’ll be back!

Just thinking about my problem today and was thinking that before I go near the genius desk that I have one of their sales team demonstrate a machine to me, I'd assume that the demo models would be pretty fine tuned.
Really is a pity about the sound

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 !

ITunes 11.2.1 doesn't let me sync new songs purchased on iTunes to my iPhone 5S and iPad mini Retina

I hope someone can help me. I've purchased 5 new albums on iTunes 11.2.1. I've created playlists and cannot sync them with my iPhoen 5S and iPad mini Retina under iOS 7 (latest version). I check the playlist and sync, but on the iPhone or iPad, the playlist shows the songs being on the cloud. I try to download them and it won't let me me. I have deactivated iTunes Match on my MBP..... I've spent money on new albums that I can't listed to on mu iPhone or iPad. How frustrating!!!

The same thing is happening to me now and it's just been since the update before last, it seems. And the strange thing is that it's only doing it to songs that are demo-versions (I'm a musician) that have no metadata or ISRC codes or anything. Songs in this format have been transferred in the past without any problems, but that's changed; they show up as ghost songs on my iPad mini (which is fully updated) and any playlist that has one of those ghost songs in it will not play, even if the rest of the songs are fine.
I think Apple needs to address this fast because I'm sure I'm not the only one receiving non-commercial Mp3s or .wav files and needs to use them in various forms on our devices!
