  • HT204053 My wife just got this iPad mini and I want to copy the address book on my iPad 2 over to the mini. Can I use iCloud to do this?

    My wife just got this iPad mini and I want to copy the address book on my iPad 2 over to the mini. Can I use iCloud to do this and what are the steps. The 2 devices have different Apple IDs.

    Download the "My Contacts Backup" app from App Store to your iPad 2. Make a backup and send it by email to your wife's address. Open this email from iPad mini and tap the attachment to import the contacts into iPad mini Contacts app.

  • I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra chargers  Can anyone recommend a rapid charger?

    I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra wall and auto chargers.  Are there rapid chargers made for IPAD Mini?  Can anyone give me a suggestion or two about what type to purchase?  Thanks so much

    My understanding is that the iPad Mini has a 5W charger. You could use Apple's 10W charger for older iPads or 12W charger for the new iPad. They will charge faster.

  • Our daughter just got an iPad Mini and I set it up for her, but I originally set it up under my apple id in order to create an apple id for her.  Is there any way for me to switch it to her account as the main user?

    Our daughter just got an iPad mini and I originally set it up under my Apple ID in order to create an Apple ID for her (she's under 13 so I set up iCloud family)... is there any way to switch the main user to her so that she can use iMessage and such under her own account?  When she uses iMessage it's my account.  I can't find a solution anywhere.  Thank you!!

    Hi Maudluna,
    I understand you would like to sign out your Apple ID from an iPad. You can do this easily by following the steps in the article below. I have also linked to an article about Family Sharing which can help you create and manage multiple accounts:
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Bobby_D

  • Just got an iPad mini and now the screen suddenly stopped working. What to do?

    Got my iPad mini as a gift last week and last night the screen suddenly stopped responding [while in use]... until now. Read and tried the troubleshooting tips here and other sources (resetting, cleaning the screen, restoring from back up, etc) but nothing seemed to work. It's currently running on iOS 6.1.3 syncs with iTunes and doesn't seem to have any problem as viewed on iTunes, wasn't dropped, abused or anything. Using warranty and having it replaced will be my last resort since I'm kinda embarrassed telling the person who gave it to me that it's broken or damaged.
    Please do help. Huge thanks!

  • Just got an ipad mini and accidentally pushed the wrong language and can't get it back to English to get my ipad set up?

    Just got a new iPad yesterday and I accidentally bumped a foreign language. How do I reset to English? I am not set up yet as the language changed before I could get it set up.

    If it's brand new then call Apple, you get free Tech help for the first 3 months.

  • Just got an iPad mini and it will not charge.

    It doesn't charge from the wall charger or from my iMac.   I don't have another new style charger.  Looks like a bad cable or iPad Mini.
    Thoughts?

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • HT1421 I just got an iPad mini and need to set up outlook on it. How do I do this?

    How do I transfer my outlook onto the new iPad mini?  Thanks

    Hopefully this will help.

    ... but since you indicate a corporate email server (as you attached the HT1421 article), you may need your corporate IT department to help you.

  • I just got an iPad mini and the volume icon will not come off the middle of the screen. I tried turning it off and on but that didn't work. Any one know how to solve this problem? Please help!

    My volume icon won't go away on my iPad mini

    Try resetting the ipad by holding the home and lock button simultaneously until the device restarts.

  • Just got the iPad mini and cannot setup my iPhone number in send and receive. It only contains my email

    Cannot enter my iPhone number to receive iMessages  when I go to Settings - IMessage I only see my email. How do synch up my iPhone

    Hey alexismoreno.boyce,
    Thanks for the question. Let’s try turning iMessage off, and then back on. This will force a reactivation of your phone number with the iMessage service. If your issue persists after the above step see the following resource for additional troubleshooting steps:

  • Hi, I recently got an iPad. I want to purchase software but I was prompted for a security code due to the fact that I am purchasing on a new device. I entered all my credit card details but can't even recall having a security code.

    Please help. Because I wanted to purchase apps on my iPad after I have only used my credit card detail on my iPhone, I was requested to also enter some security code. I cannot recall what it is and now I cannot purchase any apps. I entered anything in the hope that some assistance to choose a new one will pop up but nothing. What can I do?

    the security code is on the back of your card underneath your signature

  • I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
    There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

  • Just got an iPad mini. In mail I want to create a folder to save certain emails. I'll call the folder "Saved". Should be simple, right?

    Just got an iPad mini. In mail I want to create a folder to save certain emails. I'll call the folder "Saved". Should be simple, right?

    Yes ... and it is
    Since you're in the Mountain Lion forum, it is indeed simple to create a "Saved" folder on your Mac and save emails into it.  You should create the "Saved" folder using Finder.
    The fact that you just got an iPad mini is completely irrelevant to the discussion as it stands.
