I had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

Hallo together,
I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address only without mine appearing on her iPad?

I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address on her iPad only without my email accounts also appearing on her iPad?

It sounds like restored one of your own backup when you activated her iPad. If you just activated the device and you want to share an Apple ID for purchases, you should, either erase the device and start all over again and NOT restore your backup - or simply delete your email accounts and set up hers in the settings.
To erase the device and start all over again, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. If you enabled Find My iPad, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to erase the device.
You can delete your email accounts, in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Account Name>Delete Account.

I can't upload pictures to Facebook Pages albums with my IPad Mini 3. I've tried safari too and the basic uploader doesn't work. I can add photos to the wall but I need to put them in albums for my Boutique,

I can't upload pictures to Facebook Pages albums with my IPad Mini 3. I've tried safari too and the basic uploader doesn't work. I can add photos to the wall but I need to put them in albums for my Boutiqu

It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:
Type
ping facebook.com
into the window. Do you see any transmissions? What is the IP address used?
I see:

FaceTime is not available on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This is by government decree. The FaceTime app can't be downloaded or installed on these iPads.

My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

I was given a 16Gb ipad mini retina with cellular but I need more storage. We do not have the receipt as it is a gift. I like to swap for a 64Gb unit and pay for the difference my self, how do I go about doing that? I have not open the packaging yet.

Hi
Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

IPad mini screen has went almost black can't see the screen

iPad mini was working great then all of a sudden the screen went black , tried to reset and the apple logo appeared then the screen went black . Can take screen shots and when I access Siri it says please connect to the internet but the screen is still black . When I now try to reset the screen is constant black and can just about make out the apple logo in certain light . I have tried a full reset using iTunes but still the black screen - any suggestions ?? The LCD screen had just been replaced 1 week ago and worked great

have had the lcd changed again and still the same problem , so it cant be the lcd or the screen
It could still be a hardware problem somewhere on the iPad. If you have restored the device, there is nothing more that you can do software-wise. I would take it to an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at it or go back to the repair center and see if they can correctly diagnose the problem.

My iPad mini displays i0S 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do I get it to show the 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.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?

If i buy a Cellular iPad mini 3 in USA can I use it in the UK?

Could I use a UK SIM card in the UK after buying a cellular iPad in the USA?

Apple does not take trade-ins. In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your device if you sell it yourself.
