My 2nd mini iPad in a year and same problem happened,it stopped working. what's wrong with mini iPads?!

I got a replacement to my daughter’s iPad mini in September b/c her 1st one stopped working and now it happened again. I took it to the Apple store and  i was told that there's  nothing they can do. What's wrong with the iPad minis?

I have an iPad mini and it works great, so do many other people.
Is it possible your daughter abused the device?   If it gets dropped, even in a damage proof case, it is a shock to the iPad.   Most survive, but if it happens often, it might be a problem.
Charging often, not completely, leaving in charger while in use a lot?
Leaving the iPad in a hot car, or freezing the iPad?

  • The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working, what's wrong with it/ what should I do to fix it?

    The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working. I've restarted the computer several times and no help. I had some keyboard maintenance done a few months ago at a repair shop so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What should I do?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

  • What's wrong with my ipad (mini) ?

    last month i got a brand new ipad mini 32 gigs wifi+lte. this thing has ios 6.1.3 installed on it and it running on a 3g network from vodafone which also powers 3g on my iphone 5. it all works fine except for a few very strange issues outlines below...
    pages, numbers and keynotes are not syncing icloud documents. the documents appear fine on the iphone and the mac (which has paid version of iworks suite from the app store). i have toggled icloud sync and documents sync under cellular to ON-OFF several times.
    mail would not show my flagged emails except ones flagged on the ipad. this used to be the case when i was using ipad 2 as well.
    reminders dont sync promptly. i have to wait to open the app to see them sync. in the iphone and on the mac they sync just fine.
    the ipad seems to reset APN settings automatically! many ipad users in india who use vodafone 3g complain about the same thing.
    as u can the problems i outlines are mostly to do with icloud sync. can someone tell me how to fix this. i would appreciate if there is a way out of "starting the ipad as new" cause there is a significant game data i would loose.

  • The games apps in my IPAD2 won't open and i can't even download it says regarding my id...what is wrong with my IPAD

    i am having problem with my IPAD2...i can't open the games or the apps i've downloaded here...what is wrong and what shall i do so i can open it again because some of my games here are paid apps...please help me...thanks and GOD bless.

    You need to upgrade to 10.10.3 - it's on software update.
    That will give you the new Photos.app.
    It will also be possible to download the up-to-date version of iPhoto:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Apple wants to charge for a repair but won't tell me what's wrong with my iPad

    So my iPad mini is 1 year and 5 days old, and it suddenly won't power on.  Nothing, even with a different charger and cable.  The Apple website said to send in for battery/power issues, so I filled in the form and gave them my credit card for a little over $100.00 and sent it to them via UPS.  That was 2 days ago, now I get an email saying they need to charge me $225.95+tax and I have 48 hours to either pay it or have them send the unit back.  Nothing on their repair status tells me what is wrong and why the sudden increase in price for an iPad mini repair.  I can call or chat online for another $19.00, but that seems like hiway robbery to me.  I mean, I already paid you $100+, can't you even tell me what you found that needs another $225?!?!?  On the repair status, there is an area called views of your product with a broken image file, so I can't even see what they are referring to.
    If I way the $19, will they even be able to tell me anything, or will they just read what I can see on the webpage?  I'm starting to think it will be cheaper to just buy another iPad mini at this rate.
    Has anyone any advice ?

    Well, I called Apple and talked to them last night.  They were surprisingly very friendly.  They emailed me a picture of the iPad with what they were concerned about.  Now there is a dent in a corner, that I know wasn't there before.  I take create care of the iPad and use a full bumper case.  I explained to the repair tech that this dent is new and was not there when I took the iPad in for UPS.  Actually, when I took the iPad to UPS, I had the unit in the original box (I'm OCD that way).  The guy at UPS told me to take the iPad out of the box and then he weighed the iPad, some bubble wrap and an empty box.  He then said it was good to go and I walked away with the original packaging.  I honestly suspect the damage happened at UPS.  Plus a small dent in a corner shouldn't affect battery, right?  Anyway, after talking with a few people at repair, they noticed that their records show the iPad being 1 day out of AppleCare. 
    The last guy was going to just charge me for the battery replacement, which I am good with.  But, guess what, Apple can't partial charge, it's either all or nothing.  So, after about an hour of being on the phone, they will repair or replace the iPad at no charge to me (just this once, only). 
    I have to admit, that calling and talking with these guys was very helpful.  Everyone was friendly and cheering.  Plus I wasn't calling India (no offence to India).  I am definitely going to continue purchasing Apple products if this how their support works.  If only Cisco could learn to work that way...

  • HT1657 My rented movie keeps stopping and not working, what's wrong with it?

    I've just downloaded a rental movie to my iPad. The movie has stopped about 40 times in 3 mins. I move the cursor back slightly to rewind the movie and it plays again for a 10 seconds then stops... I have enough storage, any suggestions?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.

  • Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

    Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

    I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

  • TS1702 What's wrong with my ipad if the apps are not downloading

    I am trying to download some apps but all it says is "waiting" and I have been "waiting" for about an hour.  I do not have any (other) apps downloading except for the ones I am having problems with. Please help whenever possible.

    I have posted these suggestions many times and some of them have worked for other users in the past. Give them a try - in the order that they are typed below. Maybe something will work for you.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. 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 - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • What is wrong with my iPad (4th Gen) screen?

    Hi all,
    My iPad 4th gen screen has stopped working.
    It just shows a white fuzzy screen with a thick grey bar across the screen. I have done some percussive therapy (hitting the back) and the thick bar changed colour but other than that nothing happens. I have tried a restore as well but still no luck!
    I have trawled through google and some of the ofrums here but i cant find anything about this. Does anyone have any ideas? It has just ran out of warranty as well.
    Zack

    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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
