Mini ipad is frozen
My mini ipad will not shut down. It is frozen with the iTunes logo and USB cord showing. The screen will go black. I have tried the hard shut down and it will just continue to pop up with the iTunes logo.... any suggestions?
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

My mini Ipad is frozen with a message saying, This IPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough Icloud storage available. You can manage your storage in Settings. But it is locked up and I can't get into settings or turn it off
Try this: Hold the power button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds or so, then let go. This should have reset the iPad. Hopefully the iPad will show the boot up Apple logo.

My new Mini IPad is frozen with a message (IPad Not Backed Up) and does not respond when I touch OK. What must I do next? I cannot find the correct ITunes page to sync IPad to Computer ITunes.
Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. -
Does anyone know how to unfreeze a screen.
My mini Ipad is only 2 months old and it has frozen. The screen says that the ipad needs to be backed up on icloud but the touch screen has frozen and I can even shut it down. SuggestionsTry to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

The screen on my cal on my iPad is frozen on a particular week and does not respond to touch the data I I putted just before this happened has appeared on iCal on my iMac with no apparent problems what should I do

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler -
I was charging and updating my mini ipad last night when it suddenly shut down and will not turn on since then. What do I do to turn it on again?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

I started to do the latest update to iOS7 in my iPad mini and it froze the screen at the area Apple ID security where it asks for "Add Security Question". I press the next icon, and nothing happens. The screen is frozen there and I can't get out. I can go no further forward nor can I be back. It's just stuck. This has rendered my mini iPad useless. What can I do?

If I need to back-up every hour of my life in order to be able to save everything from something like this I won´t do anything else.....at least we should be able to trust that Apple tests this updates so situations like this won´t happen.
That's exactly what Time Machine does for you. It backs up every hour, so you don't have to. While it is backing up, you keep on working. Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail. Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes. They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time. Your mileage WILL vary!
If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four. You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem. And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
Apple hardware and software is very, very good. You have documented your experience of this. But NO hardware or software is perfect. You also have experience of this.
It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources. -
HT1212 mini ipad will not get beyond apple screen what can be done?
This mini ipad has been frozen at the apple screen for 24 hrs. Every so often it will go to the black screen with the loading/updatiing symbol but it too is frozen
Can this be fixed?Try a reset first. If this doesn't work, post back. You may need to restore your iPad using recovery mode.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
HDMI does not work with Mini iPad
I bought the new HDMI x lighting adapter so I could play video downloaded to my Mini Ipad on my TV. It does not switch over automatically to the TV although my new iPad Air does work fine with same adapter. I have looked for a setting on the Mini that I may have missed but all is same as on iPad Air. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have found similar questions on community but no firm answer as to the possible solution.
Hi there LaureynR,
You should still be able to do this. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for troubleshooting steps.

The device mini iPad is not working after the update of the system
Hello,
I need help that my mini iPad is not working at all. I started an updating process from the system but then it shuts down and it never opens again! even though the charge is full.
please replay me .
Best,
MawaddahTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can i use a mini ipad as a gps
Hi,
I have read lots of discussions but they seem to be slating off each other rather than answering the question. Please, without making fun of me, could some kind person help a damsel in distress? If I purchase a mini ipad, can I use it in the car as a gps? I cannot afford to buy both. Thank you, DebbyOnly is it has cellular data. A wifi only iPad can give turn by turn directions and maps only.

I would like to know How to fix this problem with my mini Ipad, camera works well when I take photos but if I try to use for video the screen does not respond. it only response to photo, so I can I fix this ?
All iPads (except the first gen which doesn't have a camera) are capable of taking videos. What version of iOS do you have on your iPad ? With iOS 7 you slide the Video / Photo / Square options up/down so that the one that you want lines up with the yellow dot to their left - is that how you are trying to select Video ?
