My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.
My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

Hi rhiess,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad may not have restored fully. I'd recommend restoring it again with the iPad in recovery mode.
Use the steps in this article to place your iPad in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

After placing your iPad in recovery mode, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the connection between it and your computer:

If you still don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.

I've just received the replacement today, and I restored it from a backup I made back in July when my old iPad didn't have iOS 7. And I've updated the new iPad to iOS 7, but I don't know how to transfer the data I have on my old iPad mini in iOS 7 format into the new already backed up iPad mini. Can someone help me?

Plugged in my iPad Mini into my computer and it would say next to the battery Bar "Not Charging" , and I'm wondering what this means. Thank you!
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?
How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?
The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
iPad mini = 1024x768
Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two. It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer. -

Are you using the wall charger? Connecting to the USB port on your computer gets the Not Charging message.
Need more info about your problem.

[iPad Mini 1st Gen.] Can't send E-Mails with the normal "Mail" App
Hi,
I can't send E-Mails with the normal E-Mail App, it works only with another Mail App, but then I can't send pictures. Maybe my new router is the cause, but it works with my iPhone 5, only with my iPad mini it doesn't work.Well, how I can solve the problem?
Sorry for my bad English.
Many Greetings from Germany.Hi,
i can't change the iCloud SMTP Server settings for outgoing E-Mails.It isn't possible to make these "How to" (or how i can call it?) and the moves before i have already done and the issue haven't solved. I think my iPad mini is to old....
Many greetings,
xbdsmallwork
Edit: I have a iCloud Mail Account. -

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?
Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.
