Hi my ipad mini is not letting me get any games without having to make a purchase but the apps are free what is wrong?
My guess is you are being asked for identifying information involving a credit card. Your credit card is not charged for free apps - although of course some apps have offer in-app items that may cost.

Help would be appreciated.PhotogYogi wrote:
I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it. -
What should I do if my ipad mini is not letting me make videos?
Thank you for your help, but when I go to general....settings.....there is nothing that says reset! There is something that says iTunes wi-fi sync......but when I go to that and touch where it says sync now...nothing happens.....it also says sync will resume when "valued-x7uzz8bo is available....under that it says valued-x7uzz8b0 and under that apps and photos........I don't have a clue what that means!!!! As for the games....no, I used the same computer!

I live in Germany at the moment. How can I buy iPad mini with retina online and get tax free?
Do you qualify for a tax free purchase? The online stores will collect the required taxes for their country and region. I know in the USA, if you are a tax free corporation, and you purchase it directly with a corporate account, you can get an item tax free using the company account and the corporations registered tax exempt number. But an individual citizen cannot avoid paying the appropriate required taxes when shopping the online Apple web store.

My new iPad mini would not download an update bnor allow access to app store downloads etc, I decided to revert to original factory settings, the screen is now frozen, showing only the Apple logo in white on a black background, it is now frozen, what can I do?
Try a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My iPad Mini is not letting me record
The vidoe camera on my iPad Mini, iOS 7.1.1 isn't working properly. The camera keeps turning off after a few seconds of recording. When I try to resume it says I have insufficient storage on my device. But I have only used 5 gigs of my 16 gig storage on the device! I think it has somethign to do with the fact I haven't purchased more iCloud storage, but I don't want to. And I have turned off backup but the camera is still is doing this.
My guess is you are being asked for identifying information involving a credit card. Your credit card is not charged for free apps - although of course some apps have offer in-app items that may cost.

When ever I go into my Photos on my iPad and select the ones I want to delete there is no Trashcan icon so I am unable to delete the photos. Please contact me if you know how to delete photos synced via iTunes x
If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

I can't do the update it says I don't have enough storage it wont even let me download apps, I have very little on my Ipad i only have 1 song 24 apps 623 photos 96 videos and this has 13 GB
The 96 videos are probably the space hog.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

My iPad mini won't let me update or download apps ?
Everytime I try to update my apps or download new ones (which are free), my iPad says there is a payment issue when I then enter my bank details in it says it's declined, there is money in my account and the apps I want and downloads are free ?? It's been like this for about two months now and I'm getting really fed up :(
I can't swear to this, but I thought that I read very recently that Apple no longer accepts debit cards. I just edited my response, read this.

My new iPad Air will not let me download any apps from the apple store?
I also tried syncing to my iMac and that didn't help either
Did you set up a credit card when you activated your iPad? A credit needs to be in your Apple ID on the device for you to be able to download apps, even free ones.

I have a iPhone 4 with version 4.1 and I need to do a software update but I do not have a home computer to use my I tune account but I do have wifi on my iPhone but when I go into my settings it does not give me the option to do upgrade, please help me!
You have to use a computer to get from iOS 4.1 to iOS 6,
which is the current version. Any future updates from iOS 6
will be done over the air using wireless. Use the computer of
a friend, Apple store, or at work - if allowed. There is no way
to do the update without a computer and iTunes. -
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? -
