  • My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

    my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

    Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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.

  • I can log into apple on my laptop but my brand new ipad air will not accept my password.  Help?

  • My new iPad mini will not activate. What could be wrong?

    My new iPad mini will not activate.  Tried restarting the iPad with no luck.  What else can I try?

    On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and download the current version (11.0.1).
    Your iTunes 10.6.3 is old and cannot support a new iPad running iOS 6.
    It is possible your computer is too old to support iTunes 11.  That could be the reason for the message that 10.6.3 is the current version.  In fact, it is not current and insufficient to support your new iPad.
    Good luck.

  • New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

    I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
    They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
    I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
    The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
    I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
    I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
    As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
    Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?
    Patrick

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Certain track in Music on new iPad mini will NOT go away

    Greetings.
    I purchased a new iPad mini retina yesterday.
    I hooked it up to my Mac and began setting it up.
    When I was prompted to either set it up as a new iPad, or restore it from my old iPad, I chose restore.
    Everything is fine, except, I have music tracks stored on the new mini that I do not want on there.
    I set it up to sync with a particular playlist that I created.
    Those tracks are NOT in the playlist.
    In iTunes I have 'Sync only checked songs and videos'.  I had this unchecked before, and no change.
    Under 'Music' I have 'Sync music' checked with 'Selected playlists...' checked, and have chosen my one playlist.
    I have synced this device over and over and I cannot make these tracks go way.
    I even unchecked Sync music altogether so the little bar graph at the bottom shows NO music, but, they are STILL there(?!?).
    I restored it again to factory settings, this time I chose 'set up as new iPad' and...still the same.
    Any ideas, or advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've not got the answer to your question, but I'm using an iPad 3 with the very same problem.
    No matter what I do, sync manually, set the sync settings and run it from the iPad back to the mac mini, it makes no difference. I actually thought it was something to do with buying the songs on the iPad.
    While typing this I also tried to sync with my iTunes on our Mac Book and the songs are still there.
    All our Apple tech and something daft like removing 10 giga bite of songs is seriously difficult.
    Hope somebody has the answer out there as I don't want to reset the thing.

  • TS3899 Brand new iPad, email will not send?

    How do I make my iPad work properly with my existing "Orangehome" email address. My iPad receives emails OK from the Orange account, which has been operational on a PC for many years, but I can't send emails from my lovely new iPad, my PC works just fine, but my iPad won't send emails, the settings are the same as my PC. I've tried smtp ports 25 and 587, but iPad won't work with either - does anyone out there know of a fix for this issue, Orange don't seem to care and have no ideas whatsoever - the questions is, does anyone in the Apple community care! I really don't want to have to use another email address, so please, please, pleaseeee help me?

    Hi tz, Thnaks for the input. The settings are the same as my PC, SSL is off and there is no Authentication required; I've check this requirement with Apple and Orange guidelines and this is also what they recommend; however, I'll try with the Authentication on and see what happens....I'll post again later, running out of time now so it could be after the weekend before I get back with an update. Thanks again.

  • My new ipad Mini will not sync with my contacts from my Mac?

  • Brand new iPod Classic will not sync with iTunes.  All my older devices are fine, but as soon as this is connected, iTunes stops responding when it says it's "determining tracks to sync."

    Also, the iMac I'm connecting it to is brand new as well - replacing a slightly older one.  My complete library got imported during setup and, like I mentioned, my older iPod classic synced fine, as did our iPhones.  Thoughts??

    Is the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?  If so disable this feature and then try resyncing the device.

  • Brand new Mac Mini will not boot after 10.6.6 Update

    Problem is exactly as described here: http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1069909,1070656
    The 1st restart was fine then it restarted for the 2nd time & it got to the gray screen with Apple logo & spinner. It sat there much longer than it ever had before then the Apple changed to a circle with a slash.
    I tried booting into single user mode and it is hanging "waiting for root device"

    Sounds like maybe your disk died.
    I suggest that you boot from the install DVD that came with your Mac and run AHT to check it out.

  • HT1414 My new ipad mini does not allow me to switch between modes in the built-camera app. It is stuck on video mode. Can anyone advise?

    My new ipad mini will not let me switch between modes when using the built in camera app. It is stuck on Video mode. I am unable to take photos, although I could when I first used it. Could this be a fault with the pad or with the new 7.0.4 update? Can anyone help please?

    Have you tried to force quit the app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to see the icon and preview for the camera app. Flip that app up and off the screen to close it then single tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.
    Try your camera app again and see if you can switch modes.
    When you switch modes, you do have to drag the words, not just tap on the video word, if that makes any sense. When you try to go from video to photo, do you try to drag the photo word to the front?
