IPad mini Retina refuses to go into Dual Screen mode on AppleTV. Any Solutions?
I've tried many games such as "Real Racing 2 HD" or "Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy" - the iPad mini Retina just mirrors the image (in a bad quality) but shows the same on the TV and the iPad... On the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2 it switches correctly into the Dual Screen Mode as soon as the app launches - the iPad mini refuses to do so...
Is this a (software) bug of the iPad mini Retina in general or is it a hardware issue with my mini retina?
The Apple Photo-App works just fine and also the music playback over the TV-Speaker works properly.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
On the basis that you get poor quality mirroring when things do work, you presumably have network problems, it may be worth investigating these and solving them before troubleshooting the iPad mini.

ipad mini cant update any apps or install new ones since updated to ios8.02 and now today updated to ios8.1 still cant update apps the circle just keeps spinning round, i have done a hard reset etc no joy, anybody else got same problem.
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

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?

Refused the Student discount coupon for iPad mini retina
Today i visited the local bestbuy store to grab the iPad mini retina. It was a good deal and all over the internet people are talking about getting the same for $299 + tax after using $50 student edu coupon. To my surprise the local bestbuy refused to honor their own coupon.
Coupon clearly says its valid instore or online, but still no luck. Requested to talk to a store manager and same answer. Sorry sir, we cannot let you use this.
One Geek squad person asked me if i can show him the coupon works and i did. To my surprise, after seeing that too, he said, I don't know, but we will not let you use it in store. I showed him again, see the coupon says instore, same answer.
I did told the manager that i can sit in the store, order one online and pickup here itself, I don't see any difference. She simply said, you can do that, but we will not honor the coupon in store, like she don't know or want to know what a customer is trying to explain.
Finally i said i want to file a compaint against her and she smiled and said, please go ahead and call 1-800 number and tell them my name is Michel.
Wow, I just simply said Wow.. never had such an experience. Just sharing my story and wondering what you could have done if you happen to be at my place.
Note: I know there is no difference and i could have make it easy for every one by ordering iPad online and pickup from store, but that was not the point. The point was the attitude of the BB manager for their customers and even once they did not try to understand and try to resolve the issue or at least have exaplined on what ground the coupon cannot be used in store.Hello MKSTOOL-
Getting an extra $50 off an iPad Mini with Retina display would be a great deal, but only if you get to benefit from it! I am truly sorry to hear that despite these coupons showing that they are good in the store, you were denied its use.
Based on the information you’ve provided, I’m not really sure why the store would have denied the use of that coupon. You are correct in that these coupons can be used either in-store or online and that is called out here on BestBuy.com.
I’d like to look into this further and see if we can help get this resolved for you, but I will need some additional information. If you can send me a Private Message with your full name and the store location that you visited, I would appreciate it. You can send me a Private Message by logging into the forum and clicking on the button across from my name on this post.
I believe the current set of coupons expires on 9/6, to the quicker you can send me that message, the quicker I can try to get a resolution.
Thanks for connecting with us!

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 -
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.

Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english!Godly19 wrote:
iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't. Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case. -
IPad mini Retina touchscreen dead spot
ok, my iPad mini retina's touchscreen occasionally becomes unresponsive in a small area near the top. hitting the sleep/wake and logging back in always fixes the issue. Anyone know what might be wrong? Maybe in need of a total reset and starting over?
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -
IPad mini retina - native video frame rate
I'm trying to shoot 30fps HD video with my iPad mini (Retina). I was under the impression that the iPad mini's native video format is 30fps. But when I import my footage into iPhoto, it turns out to be only 24fps.
So - what's the Mini's correct native video format (including frame rate)? Is there an easy way to change the capture rate? Is there an app that allows capture at different frame rates?Try this. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re enter all of the iPad preferred settings that you entered in the settings app.

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 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 (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.
Best,
