Missing contacts on my iPad mini

Hello,
I recently got a new iPad mini. After setting it up, I logged in to my iCloud account. To my surprise, some of the contacts from my iPhone appeared on my iPad, but some didn't. I backed up my iPhone again to iCloud, and then downloaded the contacts again from iCloud on my iPad, but nothing has changed.
Anyone heard of the problem and knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I also checked on iCloud.com, and the contacts that were missing on my iPad were missing on iCloud.com as well.

How do I copy my windows mail contacts to my iPad mini?

how do I copy my windows mail contacts to my iPad mini?

If your contacts are stored in the Windows Mail server i.e Hotmail, now Outlook.com, you can go in the iPad into Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars ->Accounts->Add Account, Tap on Microsoft Hotmail, and add your Windows Live account there, and all your contacts will be synced over.

Delete an undead contact from my iPad mini permanently?

How do I delete a contact from my iPad mini permanently?
I must have deleted a contact 15 times, spend a lot of time researching the web for a solution.
The undead contact is still there when I open contacts again! H E L P P L E A S E.
This contact not only will not die but also clutters up my calendar.
Thank you for your time and patience.

The method provided in the link in the previous posts explains how to delete contacts from your Contacts app. But the contact may still appear in the recently used list that you see when starting to type an address in somewhere.
To delete contacts from appearing in the recently used group, start typing a name in an app like Mail. When the unwanted contact appears check to see if there is a small i in a circle at the right end of the contact. Tapping that should bring up an option to delete from Recents.
If there is no small i you'll have to have patience. Unused items are eventually deleted from the Recents list on their own.

How do you add a contact on the iPad mini

I was wondering how you could add a contact on the iPad mini and people say there is a + sign on the contacts app and I do not have a + sign on mine. I got my ipad from a apple retail store.

The plus sign should be at the bottom of the contacts App:
Is it not there?

HT204053 I am unable to sync all contacts on my iMac (which includes outlook for Mac contacts) with my iPad mini, how do I do this, I have enabled icloud on both devices and ticked all the boxes.

I am unable to sync all contact in my address book on my imac with my ipad mini, it looks like only icloud & yahoo contact sync leaving out the ones in outlook for mac. I have enabled icloud on both devices and ticked all the boxes.

Thanks for that, but my Outlook contacts are synced to and all in my mac contacts book, does this not meen they would go to icloud,
No, they are in the On My Mac account in the Mac Contacts app, not iCloud.
or are they in a different format despite being in mac contacts? If so can the outlook contacts be exported in some other way to icloud?
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud, check Microsofts site if you need more verification.
If you want them in iCloud use Mac Contacts and move them from On My Mac to iCloud. This will remove them from Outlook.

Can't synch contacts with new ipad mini

Figured it out might've been something to do with free storage. I had 2 gb available, free'd up another 1 gb and was then able to download.

Missing browsing history on iPad mini

I cleared my browsing history after I noticed it wasnt updating , was just stuck on the same old sites. Now I cant get any history, when I tap on the clock it brings me back to the "empty" history window .i recently also updated to 7.0.6, however it seems I had a problem before this update.....Ive seen others have issues but nothing has applied to me, nor fixed it.

Ok, but as i said, if you cleared that history, there is no history to view.
Have you made sure private browsing is off when you are browsing.
The easiest way to tell is if the url line is black text on white - private is off
white text on black - private is on.
you can also check settings-safari
for the do not track option- should be gray for off

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

You need to be using the same icloud account on both devices if you want your data synced between them.

IPad mini is missing emails

Hi
I've recently purchased an iPad mini and linked it to two (UK) email accounts; hotmail & talktalk. Inboxes appear fine and update correctly but other sub-folders I've created in both email accounts are empty ... the folders are there but there's no mail in them, even though when viewed on a PC there a multiple emails in there. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi...I had the same problem and found that you need to check in :
SETTINGS - MAIL, CONTACTS and CALENDARS - DEFAULT ACCOUNT - this is the email account you want to use (you can only use one account at a time for emails as default)
Then go to -
ACCOUNTS at the top - Select your chosen email account and then set MAIL DAYS TO SYNCH - to -
NO LIMIT and include all the folders you want to synch under -
MAIL FOLDERS TO PUSH - by ticking against each folder.
Then hey presto it resynchs and all the folders reveal the missing emails...! It worked for me...
Simples!!
Cheers
Steve

PERSONAL HOTSPOT MISSING IN IPAD MINI

Personal hotspot is missing on my ipad mini!! can anybody help me how to get it back or is it the issue with the carrier?

Hi,
I faced the same problem with my iPad mini iOS 8.1 version software.
After checking support communities I tried resetting the software by holding the power and the menu key together for about 15 seconds till the apple logo appeared and resetting the iPad. sometime after trying to 2 or 3 times yesterday the hotspot menu appeared but the same was not working. It always said contact carrier for using the same.
Then today when I went to carrier they could not solve the problem.
While checking again I noticed after restarting my iPad I again lost the hotspot menu.
Once again I started from beginning. In my case I could find the solution as given below:
1) Go to settings
2) Go to cellular data
3) Go to APN settings
here you will find 3 set up options:
a) cellular data
apn : kindly type the GPRS settings of your iPad internet services provider
example: aircelgprs or aircelgprs.po
something like that
leave username and password blank.
b) lte setup options should be used by late users same system as above kindly check with your service provider for the same.
c) personal hotspot
APN: pls set up same as the one using gprs setting or lte setting in case you are using lte.
leave username and password blank
after this i went back to main settings menu and restarted the phone. Hotspot menu was back with all its glory. I reset the phone again and it was still there.
I feel this solution may work since it feels systematically and logically ok.
I hope this solves the issue for all my friends worldwide who face this problem.
Thanks and Have a nice day with your iPhone or iPad.

Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?
