IPad Mini Retina Smartcover unlocking / clicking

Hello folks,
my iPad mini retina is clicking many times when the smartcover is on (unlocking sound), have anyone the same issue?
Here's a vid (at the end, my 100 error logs): http://youtu.be/DsNSV4eMusM
When I put it on a desk and it clicks 2-3 times, although it is not moving. But when it is in the bag, its also clicking (battery draining. yay! )

Hello FlyFishNevada,
It sounds like you cannot see the home screen in iTunes when you have the Apps tab selected for your device. I would try first, if you have not already, restarting both the computer and the iPad.
Restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting in this article for iTunes installed on Windows 7.

If the issue still is not resolved, I would next backup the iPad to your iTunes library, and then restore it.

Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?

The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.

Are iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina both "SIM unlocked" in US? Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?

I'm planning to buy iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina during my trip to US.
Are they both "SIM unlocked"?
Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?
Do I need any treatment or/and application when purchase?

If you are not concerned about LTE bands (which will be more diverse and hit-or-miss) the only ones that will matter are these...
3G: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
2G: GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
This covers almost all the 2G and 3G standards. You will most likely be ok on 3G and in edge cases, at an absolute minimum you will have EDGE speeds since both US and EU frequencies are covered - blech :-)

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.

‘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.

Can I buy a cellular iPad mini retina display in the US and use it in Canada with a Canadian provider

I want to buy an ipad mini retina with wifi+Cellular because it is cheaper in the us than in canada. Will i be able to use it in canada with a canadian provider(bell, rogers or telus)?

So you really think they are that much cheaper? Look here:
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s
And that's without tax. Think again, while you can purchase such a phone here, you can only purchase directly from Apple & you will have NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT for this phone where you live. Oh, and those prices do not include US state/local sales tax or any duties you might have to pay. Still sound like a good deal?
When using that link, first select the color, then click on "Unlocked & Contract Free", to see prices.

IPAD MINI RETINA SCREEN VERSION IOS 7.1.2 can't success download apps , need to reboot every times only can download apps. Is iOS problem or hardware issue.? Local agent switch sale and tech support can't fix my problem.

I Purchase iPad mini retina screen on July 7 2014 at Malaysia local apple sale agent switch store somehow now my iPad did restore to latest iOS 7.1.2, before that and after also facing 1new issue is my iPad mini cant success download apps and error message show can't download at this time, either retry or click done. My internet is good condition no line down, I reboot my iPad only can download but sometime can't need to reboot twice only can download. Very sad local sale and tech support can't help to solve my problem...

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

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!

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 low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

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.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

At&t iPad mini Retina

Hi,
Does iPad mini retina display work on other GSM networks out of the US?
Am planning to buy one here from the US and need to know if it would work with me back home.

You should purchased an unlocked iPad from Apple. It will work with AT&T and you should be able to switch to a sim in another country. (Check the country you are going to to be sure it is network compatible. )

Ipad mini retina dislplay wifi and cellular.

i want to buy an ipad mini retina display wifi and cellular in malaysia. will it work with indian carriers?
can someone please respond soon?
thanks

As long as the indian carriers support the correct frequencies it should. Note, that warranty and service will not be valid outside of the country of purchase, so you would need to return to Malaysia to get it serviced.
Other than that most iPads are unlocked for use with sim cards from any compatible GSM carrier.
Note, that if the carrier you wish to use it on is CDMA, they will likely not activate a device that was not registered to them originally during manufacturing.
I suggest contacting the carrier you wish to use, to make sure they can give you a sim card with service for the iPad.

Bought new iPad mini retina but cant find install free iWork apps like Keynote. Where can I find/install Them?

When configuring my new iPad mini retina last weekend I first ignored the questions on the installation of the free iWork apps.
Now I would like to install them but I only find the paid version in the App Store. What am I donning wrong. Or was it a missed opportunity and bad luck for me.

I had exactly the same problem but my son told me I had to update to the most up to date ios first. Currently it's only got version 6.1 on it, and it didn't say there was an update available but when I click "check for updates" it started to install version 7. I believe you need version 7 installed first, then if you go to the Store, it will say the software is free to download. I'll check back once it's finished installing the update and let you know.

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 Sprint Network Compatibility

I just purchased an Ipad Mini Retina branded Sprint. Am I going to be able to use it with other carriers. Is the Ipad going to work with carriers in Europe?

zelous wrote:
if its already with sprint u will need to contact ur carrier and get it unlocked for use with other carriers. same thing for out of country use.
zelous,
I'm pretty sure you don't need an unlocked phone, as Sprint has partners that you can use to roam on their networks. My friend has Sprint and travels all around the world and has coverage even without an unlocked phone.

IPad Mini Retina and iPad Air Worldwide LTE 4G ?

I live in Egypt and I travel to the US sometimes so I was thinking about getting an iPad Mini Retina or iPad Air.
I've read that there is only one model from each iPad that supports 14 LTE bands in many countries in Europe and Middle East as well as the USA and it is unlocked but since it comes with pre-installed Sim card from US network vendors and there is no way to order an iPad without one, I am still confused.
Technically there is still no LTE/4G here in Egypt but my network carrier is already testing band 2600 so I need to make sure whether any iPad Mini Retina ot iPad Air I get from the US would work for me here or not.
Thanks in advance

It comes with a sim card. But you can simply take it out, and put one in for your own carrier.
While using your Egyptian sim in Egypt you'll get whatever your carrier offers. Likely 3G.
Now when travelling abroad, either you use your Egyptian Carrier's roaming plans whcih can be expensive or you can get an american pay as you go card. So you only pay for it when yoiu are going to use it. When arriving in the US, simply swap sim cards and the iPad will connect to the carrier the sim car belongs to.
