Looking for a good folio case for the iPad mini... any suggestions?

I'm interested in a good folio case that includes the smart cover feature. I'm particularly interested in a case that has durability (most of the inexpensive ones on Amazon seem to fall apart over time).
The other feature I'd like would be for the case to fold flat against the back in reading mode; even be held magnetically in that position.
In any event, what are you all using and what would you recommend?

If you enable your iPod for disk use, you should be able to do this without utilities (unless iTunes checks for this kind of thing). See, all of your music is stored (with garbled filenames) under <D:/iPod_Control/Music/> (where "D" is your iPod). So if you use iTunes's "Add Folder to Library" on the "iPod_Control/Music" folder, it should import your iPod files.
So do this,
1. Set Windows to show hidden files and folders, if it isn't already. There are plenty of guides for this on Google.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Enable disk use on your iPod, if you haven't already.
4. Go to File > Add Folder to Library....
5. In the Open Folder dialog box, navigate to your iPod.
6. Go into the iPod_Control folder.
7. Select the Music folder. Click OK.
Note that on Windows, the iPod_Control folder (and its contents) are hidden, so you need to set Windows to show hidden files and folders.

Would iPad Mini cases fit the iPad mini 2?

Probably sounds silly as they are virtually the same and no difference in size or dimensions were mentioned but I compared iPad models and the iPad Mini 2 is thicker by 0.3mm. Now this might sound miniscule but cases are made to fit perfectly and I'm afraid even 0.3mm would make a difference in using a case? Am I paying too much attention or should I get cases specifically said to be compatible with iPad Mini 2?

I think it depends. If you're looking for a tight fitting snap case then you may want to look for Mini 2 cases specific, or get it from a place with a good return policy. If it's a portfolio case or a silicone case you should be fine because they have more wiggle room.
i've found that some retailers don't care if you 'try it on' in the store, you just have to ask for their help or be very careful when you open the packaging so that it is still resellable.
I have a Touch 5 and have found that iPhone 5 cases fit it, the bits of millimeters in difference doesn't pose a problem (Biggest issue I have is buttons being in different places, not case size)

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I am physically disabled and having trouble with the sensitivity of the screen on my iPad mini - any suggestions?

I am physically disabled and having trouble selecting apps because of the sensitivity of the screen - any suggestions on what to do?

I would think assistive touch would be exactly what you are looking for. It's engaged using the Accessibility method I described above.
Here's the writeup about assistive touch from the iPad User Guide:
AssistiveTouch AssistiveTouch helps you use iPad if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with AssistiveTouch to control iPad. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to perform gestures that are difficult for you.
Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. To set Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
Adjust the tracking speed (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu: Click the secondary button on your accessory.
Hide the menu button (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers: Tap the menu button, tap Gestures, and then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, flick or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.
Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPad volume, or simulate shaking iPad: Tap the menu button, then tap Device.
Simulate pressing the Home button: Tap the menu button, then tap Home. Move the menu button: Drag it to any location on the screen.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture: Tap anywhere outside the menu.

My iPad is not syncing properly with my calendar on my computer. Everything is a day off on the IPad. Any suggestions?

My iPad calendar is not syncing properly with my computer. Everything in the iPad Calendar is one day off....any suggestions?

Susan,
Also note that the calender can be set to preserve a time zone by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turning ON Time Zone Support - but then your flight times will be correct for the local time zone...found that one while on travel and the calender was showing a flight time that was an hour earlier than I thought it was. I had not turned on Time Zone support and it moved the time I had entered at home to the time of the local zone.
Convenient as long as you pay attention

Hi, I left my bag on a train in Switerland with my ipad in it. I have tried to locate it and remotely lock it but have not had much joy. Can I update the software remotely, or access it remotely to try and find it. It appears that it cannot find a wifi signal. What can I do?

If it's not turned On there's no way.

How do I know if the iPad mini has the retina display, before buying it, by the box it comes in?

I was recently trying to buy an iPad Mini with retina display but the box it was in did not say anything about whether it had the retina display. Also the price they were going to charge me was $299 and not the $399 of the Mini with retina display. So how do I know by looking at the box if the Ipad Mini in the box has the retina display?

By this;
The model number on the back cover is:
A1489 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi
A1490 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular"
do you mean on the back cover of the box or the iPad itself. If it is only on the back side of the iPad itself, then I wont know if I have actually purchased the iPad Mini with retina display until I have opened the box. To me this is unacceptable as it creates a huge hassle if my intent was to buy thr iPad Mini with retina display but was actually sold the iPad Mini without retina display. When I return it for eith the right iPad mini or my money back, certain retailers have a habit of treating such people like criminals even when it was the retailers mistake. The box should be clearly maked to indicate which iPad mini in contains so the purchaser does not have to feel like they're playing roulette.
Today I was trying to buy the iPad Mini with retina display and made it very clear to those working at this retailer that was my intent. This paricular retailer has you talk to their sales people on the floor and they give you a print out of the item you are purchasing. Then the customer takes it to the cahier who takes to the stockroom and brings it back to the customer. I asked the cashier if it was indeed the iPad Mini with retina display and they said yes. So I asked how can you tell by the box? The cashier told me all the boxes look like this one. I said to them, if it is the iPad Mini with retina display whay is it priced $299 like the original iPad Mini without retina display? I walked out without buying it. Some poeple may have thought oh good I'm getting the iPad Mini with retina display for the price of the iPad mini without retina display when in fact they be only getting the original iPad mini without retina display.
Your response helped me but it does not solve the problem as far as I am concerned of being able to tell what iPad Mini is in the box simply by what is on the outside of the box. You may say, what difference does it make? My response is, not all retailers are scrupulous!

What is a good protective case for the ipad 4th gen?

Hi,
I recently bought my first iPad (ipad 4). I want to get a protective case in case I drop it. Some of the features I want include, 360 degree viewing angle, auto wake and sleep (doesn’t have to have this but would be nice) I don’t want big case like the otter box cases. I want a folio case with different viewing angles.
the reason i want it to rotate is because i want to record lectures. so if you know of any cases let me know!
if you could help me out that would be great! I have been researching for over a week! You guys have never failed me before!
is the ipad smart COVER offer any protection?
Thanks
Austin

For drop protection, you aren't going to get much better than the Otter, but yes it will add some bulk to the iPad (really any high level drop protection case will). That isn't to say other cases will not offer some protection against dropping, but not as effective. The Apple Smart cover offers no back protection at all, and the Smart Case only minimal.
Not sure what you mean by "360 degree viewing angle" or why it would matter. Any case offering a portrait and a landscape orientation should work. (also not so sure how effective at recording lectures the iPad would be). There are literally hundreds of polio type cases available. Most will offer a number of angles in landscape mode, but fewer for portrait mode.
Even some fairly inexpensive folio cases offer the smart cover function.
I would recommend a trip to a full service electronics store such as Best Buy and have a look yourself. Really the only way you will be able to make a decision.

Xcode is required to submit your app to the App Store. So at some point (even if it is just to submit) you will need to use it.

Can Anyone Recommend A Good Protective Case for an 80G ipod?

Can anyone recommend a good protective case for an 80G ipod?

The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

In addition to Diavonex' points, iPads have this amazing feature called "Guided Access" to keep a youngster's attention focused on a particular task.
From the iPad User Manual:

I'm trying to find an external drive for the MacPro that will allow me to password protect the external drive in case it is taken. Any suggestions on a very reliable on that is 2TB or a third party software that is compatable with the need I describe?

How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks. See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

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

Hey ARios006,
The best advice I can give would be to keep an eye on BestBuy.com and our weekly advertisements. New products and shipping options are added on a daily basis, so make sure to check back often.

Any best practices for the iPad mini????

I am in the beginning stages of designing my mag for the iPad.... now the iPad mini seems to be all the hype and the latest news states that the mini may out sell the larger one.
So... I know that the dimensions are 1x1 on bumping down to the smaller screen... but what about font sizes? what about the experience? Anyone already ahead of the game?
I have my own answers to these questions, but any one out there have some best practice advice or links to some articles they find informative...

I think 18-pt body text is fine for the iPad 2 but too small for the iPad mini. Obviously, it depends on your design and which font you're using, but it seems like a good idea to bump up the font size a couple points to account for the smaller screen.
For the same reason, be careful with small buttons and small tap areas.
I've also noticed that for whatever reason, MSOs and scrollable frames in PNG/JPG articles look great on the iPad 2 but look slightly more pixelated on the iPad Mini. It might just be my imagination.
Make sure that you test your design on the Mini.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.
