Is the ipad mini 2 the same as the ipad mini with retina display?

I see an ipad mini 2 and an ipad mini with retina display.  Is it the same unit called 2 different ways?

Yes, and no. Basically the iPad Mini has currently 3 generations. 
The Second and Third generations also called iPad Mini 2 and 3, have Retina Displays. The First generation one, does not.
So it could be referring to either, but most likely it does in fact refer to the iPad Mini 2.  (or second generation) that does feature a Retina Display.

  • The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

    I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
    It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

    it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP.  it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels.  Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store. 

  • How do I use the secondary graphics card on a mac book pro with retina display?

    I know that this is kind of a stupid question but I am new to dual graphics cards and this is the first mac that I have ever had, so I don't understand how you use the 2nd graphics card. When I click on the apple logo and go to about it shows the Intel Graphics HD 4000, but I know that they put an Nvida in here to so how do I access that? Because it has a lot more graphic power than the intel does.

    Try opening iPhoto and then consulting the More Info... item. That app will cause an autoswitch to the big GPU.
    Same will happen with any other app that requires that kind of display driving power.

  • Is it yet possible to upgrade the internal hard drive on a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hi all,
    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, a 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory and a 128GB built in flash storage drive.
    I do a lot of video and sound work requiring a lot of space however 128GB is just not enough. When purchasing the MacBook I was hopeful that the built in drive could possibly be upgraded to at least 512GB of storage. I have read many blogs and forums suggesting that there is work being made on a replaceable drive however I have not seen any evidence of this being confirmed. Could someone possibly let me know if this is yet possible as I would urgently like to upgrade if so.
    Many thanks
    Silecta

  • I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni and I was wondering what the best type would be to get? One with retina display etc

    I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni next year and I'm not sure what type to get. I've heard different things about the retina display and that people only get it to edit photos etc but then people have said that it is quicker and makes the laptop lighter. I'm also unsure of how much storage I will need. If anyone can help that would be great!!

    There are two screen displays available - Retina and non-Retina - and there's a world of difference between them. The Retina has non-user replaceable RAM and flash storage (well, the latter without voiding your warranty) and the non-Retina has user replaceable RAM and HD/SSD. And then, of course, there's the difference in the resolution of the screen itself... and a difference between the 13" and 15" screens (available in both 'flavors').
    How much storage you need will depend on your needs.
    I don't recommend the Retina models at this time - too many issues with tinting (on Samsung displays) and image retention (on LG displays).
    So take a look at what the non-Retina machines have to offer - you can customize to your heart's content but remember that you can always upgrade the RAM and the hard drive in the non-Retina machines yourself.
    My 2¢...

  • Where is the audio line in port on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

    i want to find a way to connect my guitar into my macbook, and i cant seem to find a line in port

    there is a headset jack, and of course the USB port.
    Most guitars need to be run thru a converter to USB

  • Will the new iPad Mini with Retina Display fit into the older iPad Mini case?  (Will it be the same size?)

    I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini with Retina Display when it comes out this month.  I am curious to know whether it will fit into the older iPad Mini cases that are currently available.  I wasn't sure whether I should go ahead and buy a case, or if I should wait due to a size difference.  Thanks!

    The old iPad mini case will fit new iPad mini. However, the new iPad mini has 2 microphones and the 2nd microphone located on the back. (old iPad mini only had 1 microphone). That means, the old case will cover the 2nd microphone.
    The 'old' case will cover the rear microphone, but the new and currently sold iPad mini smart case has the cutout for the rear microphone. It can clearly be seen on mini Smart Case photo.
    I had a black mini SmartCase on order at the time I posted the above.  Although my mini-retina won't arrive for a couple of weeks the case arrived today.  I has the cutout for the rear microphone just as shown in the images on the Apple Store.

  • Is an iPad mini with retina display the complete same size as an iPad mini without retina display?

    I'm trying to find a good sleeve for my new Ipad mini (with retina display), but keep coming across two options.
    1) Sleeve for iPad mini with retina display
    2) Sleeve for iPad mini
    Is there a difference in size? I'm mainly asking as I've found one I would like, but it doesn't mention the retina display..
    Hope someone out there has an answer to my question.
    Thanks,
    Kat

    There is a .3mm difference in depth.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi ravelvanto,
    mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
    Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
    Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...
    Best regards, mackevin

  • Hi apple, I have the new ipad with retina display, i have however cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace this ipad with the same one. It is a 32gig. Thanks

    Hi apple,
    I have the new ipad (4th gen) with retina display. Yesterday I cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace it with the same ipad. I have the 32gig ipad with wifi.
    Thanks

    The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.

  • I have an iPad 4th Gen with Retina Display.  I want to watch movies on an airplane.  I downloaded downloaded one movie successfully from digital copy, but my next movie only plays when I am connected to wifi, and the other one is the same way now
