New iPad Mini 2 - Settings - Maps

I've noticed that when I am in the Settings section, and then in the Maps section - it gives me the options of displaying distance in Miles or Kilometers. Miles seems like the default setting, but when I click Kilometers, the check mark moves to Kilometers, but when I close out (going to another section of Settings or back to the Home screen, for example) and go back to Settings, Maps - the distance is back to Miles. It won't stay at Kilometers no matter how many times I select it, whether I reset the iPad or anything.
It may seem silly, but Kilometers is the measurement I want to use, it's the measurement used in my country (Japan), and there's no reason I can think that this problem should be happening. Any ideas aside from calling AppleCare Support - and not sure what they would suggest.

I Think user I'd is problem if you send user I'd to sign in to my iPad mape at working better

New iPad Mini 2 - Settings - Maps - Distance - KM, not MI

In Settings, Maps - I want to change the distance displayed from miles to kilometers. But after tapping kilometers, verifying the check mark on kilometers and then closing out of Settings - when I go back into Settings, Maps - the distance selected in back to miles. So it seems kilometers won't stay saved.
Has anyone experienced this or know of a fix? I'm a bit dumbfounded.

TS2972 Home Sharing will not work on my new iPad Mini

I have an iPad mini set up with home sharing on my iMac. When I try to search my home sharing library on the iPad mini, the music app immediately crashes. Also, it will not sort the music by artist or album, only by song or playlist. I have rebooted both of the devices multiple times and have verified that OS X, iTunes, and iOS are all up to date. Anyone else having this kind of problem with the new minis?

Figured out my problem sharing my music library on a new iPad Mini (I think). Two issues: (1) I have two Apple IDs, the result of doing one years ago and forgetting about it when I set up another; Apple doesn't seem to be able to ever merge or otherwise fix this problem, despite the best efforts of smart folks at the Genius Bar plus of course I'm forced to have 3rd ID as my iCloud username, but never mind....). I was logged in as one Apple ID and my music library is under the other. Went to "Music" under settings, signed out under "Home Sharing" on that page, signed in again as the other Apple ID. (2) Realized then that it was trying to share music from something called my iPad library instead of the library under my name, which is where my music is. When I fixed these two things, it all shared nicely. Whew!

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

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

ITunes Match - attempts to turn on for new iPad Mini result in dreaded Transfer message

Let me start by saying that I did search these forums for an exact match to my issue, but did not find anything acceptable.
First, let me be clear, this is a brand new iPad Mini w/Retina Display. It's replacing my wife's older iPad 3rd Gen device. We restored it via iCloud with my wife's Apple ID. This same id is what is entered in the iCloud settings on the new device. iCloud Keychain and Find my iPhone are both on and associated with this same Apple ID.
However, for iTunes and App Store purchases, we are using a different Apple ID (mine), which is the same id we used on the prior device for iTunes and App purchases (mirrored settings). For all intents and purposes, the two device are configured identically (iCloud - her id, iTunes and App purchase - my id). We are able to download updates, buy new apps, etc. And, during the restore, all apps were re-installed using my id. This is normal, and the second scenario described on Apple's support web site page for iTunes Match (using different Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes Match). Also, just to note that iTunes Match was enable on the old iPad.
The fact that new iPad is configured for iTunes and App store purchases with my ID, I would think that turning on iTunes Match would be as simple as toggling the switch from off to on. And, at first, it does. I get the usually warning about erasing the iTunes libarary and I click ok. But a few seconds later I get the dreaded Apple ID transfer message for iTunes Match to work, the whole 90 day timer thing, etc. You can either cancel the operation or Transfer. So, my question is as follows:
Why would I need to transfer the device to the iTunes and App purchases Apple ID for the iTunes to work, if it's already configured to use that same id for iTunes? The last thing I want to do is transfer the device (iCloud) Apple ID to mine just to turn on iTunes Match. Makes no sense.
And, just as an fyi, I've check all the limits (10 total computers and ios devices) for iTunes match, and I'm well below that limit. I see no reason why enabling iTunes Match would require me to transfer the entrie device to the iTunes and App associated Apple ID.
Anyway? At least explain to me that if I hit Transfer, all it will do is allow iTunes Match to work and not effect the iCloud Apple ID setup?

This is correct. iTunes Match and iCloud are separate services and do not depend on one another. You can have distinct Apple IDs for each one.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top. On the Summary tab, click Check for Update. You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Why won't my apps download on new ipad mini?

My apps will not download on my new ipad mini? They remain in the "waiting" stage for days. have tried deleting and re-downloading one by one, but have not had any success.

I was having the same problem and I tried the following and now everything is working fine:
Reset Network Settings. Resetting your network settings is a fast, easy way to trouble shoot your WiFi connection issues on your iPad Mini, and also on your iPad and iPhone as well. Resetting your network settings allows your device to flush out all cache information from your wireless network, DNS and nameserver settings, etc… basically it allows your device to start fresh on your wireless network.Here’s how to reset your network settings on your iPad Mini (iPhone and iPad as well).
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Tap “Settings” icon on your homepage > tap the “General” option > tap on “Reset” > then finally tap on “Reset Network Settings”. Your iPad will restart.
Renew IP Address.
Settings > Wifi > Tap the Blue Arrow (right-hand side) next to the network that you connect to
Click Auto under HTTP Proxy
Click Renew Lease
Connect to your selected network
Try Safari, then YouTube, then try downloading a free app.
If you still do not have appropriate connectivity after this, take to your local Apple Store/Reseller and test, fix, or replace.

HT1222 Hi there just bought new iPad mini and can't get iOS 7 to update on it???

Help can't seem to update my new iPad mini to IOS 7 x

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
    1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

Setting up a new iPad Mini

I got my new iPad mini yesterday and attempted to set it up using my existing iPad back-up on iTune. I have set up many different apple devices previously, (new iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc) and they have always worked wonderfully.
But when I did it with my new Mini yesterday, some of the data, like notes on Noteshelf and Movies on AVPlayer were not updated. I could see them on my old iPad, but they did not appear on the new iPad. The Mail accounts were also all gone and I had to set them up all over again. The Apps Folders were also all gone leaving all my Apps in multiple pages and I had to redo all the Folders... etc.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Also, can someone kindly tell me how to delete photos on the Photos App? Can't figure out how to do this. Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Good question - I suspect it will but can't be sure.
When I set up my iPad Mini earlier it asked me if I wasnted to set up as new or restore from my iPhone 4S backup.
Clearly the iPad isn't a phone - presumably it would just migrate relevant settings/apps/photos.
My youngsters are currently playing tug of war with the new iPad Mini - I knew I should have bought two - they fit in one hand very nicely for adults and seem even better for small hands.
Only need to find a minimalist case now to stop the back scratching.
Can't believe Apple are charging the same for the cover as they do for the full size iPad.
