My Ipad mini locks itself while i'm still playing..I need some help _
While I'm playing/surfing the net, my ipad mini randomly locks itself, and when I press the home button...it's locked...what was the problem there? Can anyone help me? Coz it's annoying >_<
Locks itself like it goes back to the lock screen and you have to slide the "Slide to Unlock" bar at the bottom of the screen? That is quite strange if that is what it is doing. Try rebooting the iPad.
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

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
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 just locked itself and ask for passcode. I never set it up. I don't know how to resolve this problem. I called apple and said they can not help unless I purchase the apple care for 79.99. Can anyone help?
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad. -
Why would iPad mini disable itself when correct passcode is entered?
My daughter's iPad mini disabled itself even though an incorrect password was never entered? It started with a 15 minute lock out followed by 30. At some point it went to a 60 minute lockout and after a half hour or so reverted back to 60 minutes for no reason. I finally got my hands on it and after the 60 minute clock expired I correctly entered the first three digits of the passcode and the iPad promptly disabled itself for good. This makes no sense. I'm aware of the restore drill. What I want to know is this: Why did this happen and is there some sort of Hail Mary play that will prevent a complete restore.
Did you reboot the router?
If that doesn't work, test it... will it connect to a public router (wifi) like in a bookstore or public area? If it works, then the problem is with your router. -
My Ipad has locked itself up and is posting the followning message: iCloud Backup This iPad has not been backed up for 2 weeks.... I've plugged it in, it should be connected to rgour home wi-fi, but I cant get the message to go away when I push OK. I cant get it to do anything. It is fully charged, but I can't even turn it off (won't let me), Just continues to post the iCloud Backup message.
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(
I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy. -

‘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 canceling 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.

Ipad mini locked. The Apple ID of former owner is still there but his email address doesn't exist. I emailed him to fix this problem just received an email failure back. What can I do? When tried going into the Apple ID it said the Apple ID had to have a password change due to security reasons. I am guessing I wasn't the only one that has the same problem.
That same email is the one in his Apple ID.

Soon after I downloaded iOS 8, my iPad mini locked and it said I had to enter a passcode. I have never set up a passcode for this and I do not know how to disable this.
Thanks for trying, Sewmagator2. The steps that mama23dogs shared would be the only way to bypass the steps for a forgotten code for that tablet under any type of wireless service. The link she provided has steps to place your phone into recovery mode first, then restore as a new device. This will bypass the notification of needing a passcode then allow you to continue.

My mini locks up while playing.
My ipod mini locks up while playing a song. It doesn't matter what song it's playing. The time it does it is random also. It takes some time to clear and at times needs to be re-set. The Apple store ran the updated but it didn't help.

I see you have reset your iPod before many times but that procedure hasn't worked to stop your iPod from locking up.
Are you resetting correctly?
Have you tried to restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater? -

IPad Mini Games hang while playing
This is not a question this is a fact. I have purchased recent games like: Deus Ex, Indigo Lake, The Woods.
They all hang on my iPad mini. I Sometime I manage to play for 30 seconds to 5 minutes before the game hang.
I have rebooted the iPad mini but got same result.
I think iTunes should test the game on iPad mini before allowing it on the app store what do you think?Hard reboot... Hold home and power buttons until you see apple logo

Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
Some of my songs in iPad Mini with RD disappeared all the sudden and I need to redownload it again. Same thing happen to my iPod touch 5 too. What's wrong with it? Is it the iOS problem?
Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.
