Is it ok to use your ipad mini while carging

Can you use your ipad mini while carging

I use my iPad all the time while it is charging ....like right now for instance. You cannot overcharge the battery, so you have no worries if you use it while charging.

Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?

Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?
Or must I use it on battery all the time?

Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How can I use an iPad Mini as a external display for any new Vixia Series Camcorder?

Hey Everyone,
I've worked with Vixia's previously and am looking to purchace one of my own, a G20 or G30 most likely.
I'm very interested in using an iPad Mini as an external display and wondering if anyone has had luck with this.
Cheers and thank you!

do you mean you want to play your videos from your Vixia camcorder on your iPad mini? Well, that may be a little difficut. Because the video came from your camera may not be a very friendly format.
Here you can try install VLC on your iPad mini , VLC should support AVCHD (*.MTS) natively.
If this can't work, then find yourself a free converter;
Handbrake, Any video converter ,ffMPEG etc.
If this can't wrok , or the output quality is jerky.
try this one free mts/m2ts converter from pav, I used it and considered to update it.

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently. I tried using the Find My iPhone App (which showed my iMac, my iPhones, my old iPad, and my macbook) but the mini didn't show up...probably because it was turned off or the battery ran down.
I still have the original receipt from when I purchased it, showing the article number and the serial number. Is there any way to locate it with that info?

No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
Have you reported it to the police in case somebody hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.

You can use the iPad mini charger to charge the iPhone 5C, but not recommended the other way around.
The article below explains that the iPhone charger is meant to charge only iPhones and 1st generation iPad mini.
iPad: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
To charge your iPad battery, try one of these:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
Note: Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

HT204380 Does anyone have experience using wifi ipad mini in Kazakhstan?

Has anyone had experience using the ipad mini wifi in Kazakhstan?
If so, any suggestions or comments as to Face Time use, settings, apps, VPN, are much appreciated.
Thanks!

These cables do not work. I have one myself that I thought I would try, basically VGA ports transmit an analogue signal, HDMI carries digital signals. You would need a powered convertor where you can plug in VGA, the box does the magic and outputs HDMI. These claim to do the trick:
http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/vga-to-hdmi-converter.html
I have no association with tvcables.co.uk or the manufacturer of the box, but you should look for something like this, it carries your audio too.

HT3606 I have 10.5.8 software and aparently i need 10.7 or late to use my ipad mini what software can i download to bring it up to date and where from?

i am having problems with the software updates on my pc, i have 10.5.8 currently and need 10.7 or later to be able to download newest itunes then i can finally use my ipad mini with the pc, how do i know which update will work i have tried numerous different updates to no prevail they all keep coming up with messages saying i need to download 10.6.8 or later.
please help dont mind paying just need to know which one will work with my pc.
many thanks

First question is will your Mac run 10.7
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously
If it will you must upgrade to 10.6 by purchasing the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple.
