IPad mini w/Retina, which power adaptor?

I purchased an iPad Mini w/retina about 4 days ago. It came with a 10W power adaptor. The adaptor looks the same as the 12W power adaptor that Apple sells as an accessory, I bought one some months ago at an Apple store to use with my iPhone 5C and was told it would work fine with my iPhone and it seems to. I did not realize the two adaptors were different wattage until I happened to use the 12W with my new iPad and the iPad got/gets very, very warm, almost too warm to handle. The last time I charged I used the 10W and it was much cooler and seemed to charge faster, (that it charged faster may be my imagination). I've checked online at the Apple web site under accessories and I do not see a 10W adaptor for sale. Does anyone know what this means and will using the 12W adaptor hurt my iPad? I am in love with my iPad and don't want to hurt it.

you can always use a charger with higher wattage, but not a charger with lower than the required wattage. You can use the 12w if you need to, but it would be best to use the 10w charger that came with it.
Why would it be best to use the 10w charger? On the Apple Store site, it clearly says the 12w charger powers every IP made, the mini and the regular ipad, and a host of other Apple gear as well. It's all I use with my IP and my iPad. Much quicker charge than the 5w block (which is only good for an IP, but slower).

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Ipad mini with Retina Charger

Hi Folks,
I recently bought an Ipad mini with Retina in US and I want it to use it in India. I got the 10w Power adapter which can be used only in US, for India it would be different. Where can I get an adapter for the same? Do I need to charge it only using laptop?

You only need a US to India plug adapter for the charger, it should then work with it - an iPad's charger is rated for 100 to 240V (my UK charger has that written on it), so it will work in India

My iPad Mini with Retina Display doesn't turn on.

I have an iPad Mini with Retina Display and I have tried charging it every way I know how. I have a 13" MacBook Pro retina and that didn't charge the device nor did the original 10W charger that came with the iPad. Nothing works to charge it and it doesn't turn on. I don't recall the battery being anywhere near 0% the last time I used it either which also seems odd. Does anyone know why this could be happening or do I need to m

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad mini w/Retina, FaceTime crashes

I updated to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad mini w/Retina Display 128Gb. Now, when I attempt to open the FaceTime app it begins to initialize and then simply crashes out. I can receive a FaceTime call and the FaceTime app will open but I cannot initiate a FaceTime call. I have “Restored” my iPad mini twice but on both occasions I have restored from a backup. As the behaviour continues, this leads me to believe that my backup is potentially corrupted. I do not wish to “Restore as new” because of the substantial time burden this would place on me to manually reinstall all of my apps, passwords, settings and customizations that ten months of usage of my iPad mini has entailed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem? Will an impending iOS 8.1 update correct this issue? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I am heaving the same problem but in this case is rather exemptuated; i live in dubai and in order to use facetime i need a vpn service which i regularly use with facetime and Skype through my ipad mini retina display 2013; the problem started after i upgraded to iOS 8 and then it got worst after the 8.01 and then the 8.02 upgrade, it claimed to fix some bugs but unfortunately it worsen my performance; when i set the vpn on and then use the ipad it constantly shows a grey screen with the words "Poor Coneectivity" and it remains that way for the whole conversation, it is gruesome, i did reset my device and to make matters worse it didn't want to download all my apps from either my itunes nor through my iCloud backup, it was from bad to worse, after i got that settled it still remained the same "poor connectivity" issues as well as the wifi dropping as well as the data, and it claimed that my data and wifi were off when it wasn't.
At first i thought something is not right, not even the iOS 7 did this when it first came out; and today i realised that when i picked up my ipad it was frozen sideways as if i tilted it (when read or watch videos for a better perspective) and i noticed that the lock rotation icon was not turned on and it was locked in that sideways position; i had to reset the ipad and then it started to work again fine except for the facetime, which by the way bluetooth also gives me issues.
the only way i could verify my ipad's status was for me to use my iphone 6's facetime and it worked fine, the tilting the audio as well as the bluetooth; the only issue my iphone 6 gave me was that the wifi and data would suddenly come out asking me to connect to a wifi or turn on data for facetime use etc and it would try to reconnect; which is the same issue that a lot of people are facing with the ios8 upgrade and the latter upgrades were said to fix that particular issue but it didn't.
i am worried and i don't know if my ipad is going through hardware issues or its only the iOS setbacks that came with the upgrade, any ideas, thank you.

Want to change my16giga byte ipad mini with retina display to the 32giga one because i think its capacity is insufficient. So could i change to 32giga by giving an extra charge. I bought 16giga ipad mini on thanksgivingday, maybe 30. November

If bought directly from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online store, and is still within the 14 day return period Apple Offers you can take it back and get a full refund which you can then use towards buying the other version.
If its already past the 14 day period then you won't be able to return it for a refund no.
If you did not buy it from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online Store you will have to consult with the store you bought it from about their return policies.

What is better for college? An iPad air or an iPad mini with retina display?

I'm currently a junior in high school and I'll be graduating in the summer of 2015. My parents, well mostly dad, are planning on buying me the iPad air with 128 GB of memory. I got curious and went to look at the price and compare models and I saw that the iPad mini with retina display was the same as the iPad air, the only difference is the size. Since I saw that it was cheaper I was thinking on telling my parents to buy me that instead of the iPad air because it is more costy and my family isn't really the rich kind of people. I will be only using the iPad for school and nothing else since I have my iPod to play games on and stuff so it will only be used for purely educational purposes. Plus I've been hearing around that the iPad air is not that great and stuff because it has a bigger screen and such. Personally for me, I do not care about the screen size I just care about the price for my parents' sake because I don't like it when they have to spend a lot of money. So can you please help me decide on which to get and why it would be better than the other? Please and thank you.

No, it does not. There are some apps which will turn the screen white so you can use that as a flashlight, but it does not have an LED camera flash.

Ipad mini 2 retina

This is the second time my ipad mini 2 retina goes to repair.
First was the buttons and now sometimes when power the ipad on the touch screen doesn't work.
My device has my name so at each time it goes to repair lasts about 15-20 days.
I'm sure my next device won't be apple....
How can i make a compliant??

There are many ways to contact Apple.
https://www.apple.com/contact/
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
If you wanted to make a formal complaint rather then leave feedback, you might want to consider a dying art....write a letter and mail it to the corporate offices in Cupertino, California.

IPad mini with retina has horrible camera quality

So I just got an iPad mini with retina and the camera takes very grainy low quality pictures. I was expecting better... Is there any way to fix this

Hi,
Is HDR on? That adds HD, making the photo look better. Otherwise, iPads only have 5MP cameras which aren't exactly cutting edge or that high quality.
I would recommend restarting it or a reset (by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears).
If that doesn't work, maybe you should check another iPad in a retail store and see if that is the same.
Hope this helps and Happy Holidays!

What is an ideal case for the iPad mini with Retina?

Hi all,
Yesterday I broke down and finally decided to buy one of the iPad Minis' with Retina on the refurbished site. It was a good deal!
I have an iPad mini 1st generation that I will be selling to my brother, so it's an even better deal!
Anyway, on my 1st generation I am using an Otterbox Defender case which I like, however it does add some bulk to it and also the screen gets very oily and riddled with fingerprints from all the touching (even with cleaning).
I am wondering if there is another case that offers as much protection as the otter box (and has the screen protector layer) but that's a little leaner and the screen doesn't track fingerprints as much ( although it is inevitable)?
I appreciate all your input!
Thanks

Why is my new iPad mini with retina very, very jerky and slow?

Hi,
Does anyone know what I can do about my new iPad being very, very jerky and slow?
FACT - The multitouch screen is unresponsive and I have to press and press and press to select what I want before it reacts.
It's an iPad mini with retina, so it's got the new chipset which runs really, really fast.
FACT - What happens is:
I start up pages and it freezes completely for quite a while before allowing me access to my documents.
I go to settings and it freezes up totally for quite a while before allowing me access to my settings.
Is there a cure? I get similar problems on my acompanying really, really fast iPhone 5s.
PS
Plenty of memory left so no problems there - only about half used and they're both 32gb.
...and my beloved iPad2 never used to do this either.
