My iPad mini displays iOS 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do you get it to access the main menu?
Reboot your iPad and see if that lets it start up properly.
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. Let the iPad start up.
If this doesn't work, you may have to restore your iPad using iTunes on your computer.

Ipad mini is still hot and won't open. It's been 7 hours already help me :(
My ipad mini won't open. While I was charging, my ipad mini turned off and became very hot. It's been 7 hours already and it's still hot. What should I do? I'm very worried please help.:( I already tried holding the home button then turning it on but still nothing happens.
I would unplug it, perhaps try another charger if you can borrow one and see if that causes the heating. And take the Mini and charger to an Apple store genius bar tomorrow and have the techs test the system.
The unit should not be hot, they do get warm and the charger gets warm, during charging. The question is what do you mean by hot? Too hot to handle, or uncomfortably warm? -
Any hints as to what might be wrong with my ipad mini? Just stop working, does not respond to charging.
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

the help pagers just bring me around in circles. the ipod doesn't show up in system devices under the busses. i've tried just about everything. Im using windows xp at home and though maybe it was because of that. so went to a relatives and used a brand new lap top avus with windows 7 and it wont show up here either. When i got the ipod a few days ago from a third party the only screen i could get to come up was a picture of a usb cord with an arrow pointing towards the itunes logo. I downloaded i tunes and couldn't get it to change. brought it to at&t store today they hooked it up with my usb cord to thier computer and suddenly the menu screens work and i could even get online with it yet when i try to hook it up to one of my computers it doesn't show up anywere where can i go to get this fixed and fixed quick jumping around the apple help pages have put me in a foul mood and im sick of it two days spent trying to get it to show now. im sick of waiting around i need help asap so i can return this **** thing if it turns out it is broken somehow..which i dont think it is.

Hi I was using my iPad mini all day yesterday and it was working fine the my mic stopped working
Hi
Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home buttons, past when you se the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes your mic

2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac. I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)
Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Bought an iPad mini not long ago and the display suddenly went "black", there is absolutely no brightness in the display rendering it useless. I can make out the icons when i sit down in the dark and i can see the back lighting is set to max. I live in denmark and we have no apple store, its still in the warranty period, but where do i take it for repair? Can it be a software bug? I want to fix the problem fast. When i sit in absolute darkness with the wall plug connected I can see one backlight lighting up from the buttom right corner where the speaker is.
Assuming that you have a credit card in the UK, with a valid billing address for that credit card that matches the credit card statement ....
Launch the app store app. Go to the Featured Tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. Your ID is accessible in the lower left corner. Tap on the ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Country/Region and change the store to the UK in there. -
Why won't my iPad mini download music or video's? I click the download button and it will say its downloading. Then once finished it will just disappear? How can I fix this problem?!?!
Are you using the same apple ID and password?
it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want? You will still be asked for your password. -
i was given my ipad mini as a gift and i cant restore it dont know the previous owners information? how do i fix it? i have tried everything on this wesite , forumas and in i tunes. i have restored it wiped it an di cant get thru set up because of the previous persons email linked to it.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My Ipad mini displays the message disabled. I tried to reset on itunes but no luck. It gives me an error message that ipad has been locked with passcode. Tells me to enter the passcode I dont remember it. How can I reset without passcode.

Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2
Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2
Hi,
If you're asking because you were hoping to buy one, they might still be in Apple stores and will definitely be available in big box stores.
Retina ipad - Prices same as have been at big box store I checked.
Apple Online Refurb store
16 gb was $419.00. Today $ 379.00.
32 gb was $499.00. Today $ 429.00.
64 gb was $579.00. Today $ 529.00.
Minis Until today
new 16 gb mini was/is $329.00. Today $299.00 A refurbed 16 gb was $279.00. Today $249.00
new 32 gb mini was/is $429.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 32 gb was $359.00. Today $339.00.
new 64 gb mini was/is $529.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 64 gb was $439.00. Today $419.00.
We have ipad 2's from Apple's refurb store and one as a gift. They have been great.
Best Buy 32 gb $429.00 and a 64 gb is $529.00. Same price as usual. Check other big box retailers, too, if you're in the market to buy one.
If you're simply curious, many would guess it all comes down to $$$$$$$$$. It's about the bottom line and in this tech world, many want the best and the newest. and they're willing to pay for it, even if some cannot afford it. And they make a heck of a profit doing as they do.
Hope this helps. -
My ipada mini has over heated and its not starting
my ipada mini has over heated and its not starting
What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I bought a belkin mini display unit cable( new) and connected the thunderbolt port in the MBA ( 11" , mid 2012) to the Imac mini display unit port using this cable. Pressed the CMD & F2 keys on the Imac keyboard as required but this did not work. Should I try with another cable ? Should i try with a thunderbolt cable ( recommended by appple support ) -- but they too were not sure about this. Is the Mid 2010 21.5" Imac not able to function as an display unit? Any guidance would help and will be much appreciated.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only the 27-inch iMac and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen, so you can't use your Mac as an external screen. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You can still use your iMac as an external display, using an application like ScreenRecycler
