IS IT SAFE TO OVERCHARGE MY IPAD MINI?

3 years old article but (I think) still valid today:
http://allthingsd.com/20120327/apple-ipad-battery-nothing-to-get-charged-up-abou t/
Apple does, in fact, display the iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) as 100 percent charged just before a device reaches a completely charged state. At that point, it will continue charging to 100 percent, then discharge a bit and charge back up to 100 percent, repeating that process until the device is unplugged. Doing so allows devices to maintain an optimum charge, Apple VP Michael Tchao told...

  • Is it safe to charge an iPad mini with a 2amp charger?

    Is it safe for me to charge my iPad mini with a 2amp charger.

    I charge my iPad mini and iphone off 2a chargers. In Australia, you cannot buy USB wall chargers less than 12w (iphones, ipad minis, and ipods use 5w). I have experienced no dramas, and neither have any of the customers ive sold 12W chargers too. I say its absolutely fine, but if you wish not to, you can charge it via usb to the computer. Hope this helps!

  • What is the best way to make an IPad mini safe for kids?

    I am looking to purchase an IPad Mini for my son who is 9years old. I am hoping to find out what settings or software I can employ to help make the internet safer for him. He would like to search his ideas and projects but i am concerned about what inappropriate things he may stumble upon. Any help?

    There are some restrictions you can make. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    See also the manual:
    https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    But, realistically, if you give your child access to the internet, they will, eventually stumble upon something you might find inappropriate. As with any tool that could potentially be dangerous but that you want your child to learn how to use, proper supervision is key.
    Best of luck.

    Is it OK to use with an iPhone 5s and ipad mini?
    My worry is it'll damage the battery. It charges sooooo much quicker than the standard charger.

    Who knows ,if you want to charge faster get the Apple 12w charger that is compatible with all iOS devices
    Then you don't have to ask is it safe ,it's made by Apple for their devices

    Given how many people are making threads on the issue I think it's safe to guess that the issue is a systemic one on Apple's end. There's not much users can do but wait it out unfortunately.

  • How can I transfer a video recording from iPad Mini to PC?

    Hello Good People,
    I've got an iPad Mini running ios 7.1.2.
    I've got a Windows laptop running Windows 7 with iTunes 11.3.1.2.
    I recorded a video of an interview with my elderly mother which I want to transfer to my laptop for editing and saving for the family.
    I'd like to use Sync but Sync scares me every time I look at it that it will start erasing things from one place or another.  Looks like the unstated assumption is "Sync" from PC to iDevice, not the direction I want to go.
    So, I've done the google searching and haven't found anyone answering this issue but I've found dozens of adds from third party software I can buy to do what apple should provide for as a foundational, basic capability which leads me to think that they have purposefully not given people this capability for some reason.  The iPad Mini also doesn't appear in Windows Explorer so I can't find the videos myself.
    Anyone have a blessedly simple way I'm just not seeing?  Is it safe to use Sync and not lose this precious video forever after it flashes its warning of erasing things?
    Thank you!
    Jim

    Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini.  I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

  • HT1212 Hello   my kids Ipad mini is disabled, so I connected to the computer and now its asking for the passcode, which is not know.  How do i set a new passcode?

    Forgetten Passcode for Ipad mini,  How do I reset the passcode?
    Thx

    You can't just reset the passcode.  You'll have to restore the device.
    Follow the directions in this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that doesn't work, you need to use recovery mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Next time write the passcode somewhere safe for future reference.

  • HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

    I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

    If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe.  The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
    This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however.  If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

  • Ipad mini some apps no sound

    I've tried re-setting my ipad mini. I've tried deleting and reloading the apps that have no sound but nothing seems to work. Do I need to completely wipe the mini and set it up not from back up but as a new ipad to fix this problem?

    If the above doesn't try reset all settings.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Reset All Settings does not delete anything, all it does is take most of the iPad's settings back to default (with the exception of accounts setting, and maybe a couple other things.) It is perfectly safe.
    The only inconvenience is that you have to go back through almost all your settings and set them to your preference.

    Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
    Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

  • TS3274 My iPad mini touchscreen starts okay, but after awhile it stops responding

    When using my touchscreen on my iPad Mini, sometimes it displays multiple copies of the same characters - even though I've only touched one of the keys - zooms in and out of the screen of its' own free will and jumps from one web page to another - without me touching anything,
    This fault seems to happen only after a while of being used and pressing the 'home' button and the 'sleep' switch at the same time for 10 seconds, temporarily resolves the problem, but doesn't cure it.
