Loose iPad mini connector

Hello,
I have just found out that my iPad mini connector is loose.
When I wiggle it around it says that it is charging, not charging, fully charged etc.
I am really afraid that the problem is inside my iPad mini connector.
Please help!
Thanks!

Borrow a cable from someone and try again.
If that works you know you need a new one.
If none of your friends have a mini then take it to the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store.
If it charges there then you'll know as well (They may even give you a replacement cable for free).

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
If the projector supports HDMI input.

Ipad mini lightning connector- replacement under warranty?

my lightning connector suddenly heated up and later i discover it wasnt charging my ipad mini already.
When i looked on the lightning connector tip, it is slightly bent
COuld i ask for a replacement for this one, my warranty is still valid.

All accessories are covered within the warranty of the device
as long there is not physical damage to the cable itself
Book an Apple Retail Store appointment and they'll be able to exchange the cable for you
> only if your device is still within its warranty period

Is Apple making a connector with the lightening on both ends for 5s and ipad mini syncing capabilities

I can not sync my 5S with IPad Mini because of adapter not having lightening connector on both ends. I can't afford a new computer to sync my phone. Getting replacement phone because camera stopped working but can't backup my phone. My Mac doesn't have intel.

Okay great..bought ipad mini for nothing..everybody said get an ipad you can use it to sync your phone blah blah blah..
Thank you for info

IPad mini home button loose

I received an iPad mini for Christmas. Using it last night I feel the home button slightly moving a bit if my thumb moves back and forth on it, as if it is loose a bit. Is this normal?

It may be normal, but without being able to test it myself I can't say. The home button on my iPad (not a mini) does have a bit of play to it. If you are concerned, make an appointment ot take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and have them check it out. Or visit an iPad dealer and check out how other iPad minis feel.
Regards.

Ipad mini loose volume buttons

I had my ipad mini with retina display for 2 weeks now and my volume buttons are loose. I'm very happy with my ipad but the fact that my volume buttons are loose just bothers and I would hate to go back to apple to complain about such a small issue. Is there a possibility for the loose volume button to break in the future?

It might. You need to make an appointment at your local apple store, take it in and have them look at it. Before you go in, be sure to back everything up because apple stores don't repair in store, they swap your malfunctioning device for a replacement.

Ipad mini retina - loose volume buttons

I recieved my ipad mini 2 (retina screen) yesterday evening (ordered from apple store)
Very happy with it, however there seems to be an issue with the volume buttonsm the up button feels really loose and rattles when you shake the ipad, the down button seems to be very stiff and doesnt make a sound. The up button seems very springy even with the loosest touch and rocks back and forth if you run your finger over the button, the down button seems solid and doesnt move,
is this just me being fussy or is there an actual problem, if i take it into a store will i get a replacement ?
thanks

Hey Tom:
In Mexico we don't have Apple Store's (they should bring at least 1 Genius Bar somewhere ) so I take it to an "authorized service" store by Apple and achieved nothing but wasted time (+ 1 week and was diagnosed as manufacturing defect but nothing "too serious" or affecting functionality . I have reported them with Apple). I fully understand that if this would have happened in USA things would have been very different and I find this unfair when my iPad is obviously wrong, the button moves and even make some noise. Is not my first Apple product or first iPad, I know there is something wrong.
According to UPS (two days ago) they received in Apple my package and since then I haven't heard a thing .
Today I'll leave the city for a trip and I was really expecting to have the iPad before the weekend but seems that its not going to be like that.
I have never had a problem with Apple (or my family in the past 12 years) and I am very disappointed with the support and attention but more importantly the resolution of my problem has been S-L-O-W and is still not resolved. Since I bought the iPad almost a month now has not been used nicely .
Anyway thanks for your answer, I'm expecting a call from Support but I'm sure I will not have my replacement today and will be another whole week without it.

I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
It's defo not user error!

Hey there zizicool,
If you are still unable to use the iPads cellular data when traveling, I would recommend the troubleshooting information in the following article named:
Get help with the cellular data connection on your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Model)
Tap Settings and make sure that Cellular Data is turned on. Turn Cellular Data off, then back on again.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center. Tap the airplane icon to turn airplane mode on. Wait three seconds, then turn it off.
Restart your iPad.
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad with the latest version of iOS.
Remove the SIM card, then insert it again.
If your SIM card uses a SIM PIN, tap Settings > Cellular Data and turn SIM PIN off.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you have another SIM card with a valid cellular data account, remove the SIM card from your iPad and insert the other SIM card. If the cellular data connection works with the other SIM card, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Try another location. If the cellular data connection works in another area but not in the first location you tried, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Restore your iPad as new.
If you still can't connect to or use a cellular data network, contact your carrier, make a reservation at a Genius Bar, or contact AppleCare for more help.
Learn more
You might be able to set up or make changes to your cellular account by tapping Settings > Cellular > View Account. To set up your cellular data service for the first time, you might need to use the latest version of iOS and connect to Wi-Fi.
If you're traveling internationally, learn about using cellular data in other countries. Check with your carrier before you travel to make sure that you understand the cost of international data roaming. Tap Settings > Cellular to turn Data Roaming on or off.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My aux does not work on my ipad mini

is my phono aux broken?

Hello Roger,
Here are some steps to help troubleshoot the headphone port on the iPad. The info comes from an article about the iPod, but the troubleshooting is relevant.
From: iPod nano (5th generation): Sound through speaker with headphones connected
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3186
1. Verify that there's no debris in the headphone port.
2. Connect and then disconnect the headphones.
3. Verify that the headphone connector is pushed in all the way, so that the headphone's plug shell is flush with the headphone port, like this:
4. Try resetting the iPad - Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
5. Try another set of Apple headphones.
6. If you have tried all the previous steps and you still hear sound coming from the speaker when the headphones are connected, your iPod may need service.
All the very best,
Sterling

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
