New Ipad mini installing app issues

Please help.
I have purchased a new iPad mini today. I have spent the last few hours getting annoyed as to why I can't install any apps on it. This ipad is for my wife. I already have an iPad 2 and have never had issue with it. Everything else seems fine, network connection is good, we did manage to download iBooks and after that every app I tried to install  (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc) the little circle would come up for a few seconds and then go back to the 'free' button. I have reset the ipad and I have double checked account settings. There are no restrictions on. I have downloaded iOS 7 (did that before we even started downloading anything). Just can't figure it out. Can anyone help??

Ok ... I sorted it out.
I think it was because the machine had ios6 on and updated to iOS 7 as soon as it was turned on literally after set up. I just did a hard reset (deleted all data etc) and set it up again with iOS 7 from start up. Works fine now.
I suppose others might get this problem if they buy a new ipad mini with iOS 6 on it. Just do what I did (eventually, not the whole 2 hour head scratching and teeth grinding) and it should work. Reset the machine by erasing all data.
Cheers

  • New ipad mini face time issue"unable to verify email because already in use"

    My daughter had to get a new iPad mini because her battery went out. Now when she tries to face time with the new mini it says  "unable to verify email because already in use". Any suggestions on how to correct without having to create. New email address? I'm a novice Apple user. Thanks for the help headed on a 3 week trip and want to be able to FaceTime with family back home.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to get this resolved.

  • New ipad, auto install apps?

    Hi everyone!
    I bought an iPad for my girlfriend and i would like that, when she will turn on for the first time, it will automatically download and install some apps (games) that i have bought for her.
    Is there a way to do so?
    I was thinking to register a new apple account and download/buy some apps from another ipad and tell her to log-in using that account.
    Will that works?
    Any solution?
    Thank you very much

    If she already has an Apple ID, setting up another one would be a recipe for ongoing confusion and headaches. If she already has an Apple ID, you could gift her the apps through the App Store. She will be able to redeem the gift and download them.

  • Bought new iPad mini retina but cant find install free iWork apps like Keynote. Where can I find/install Them?

    When configuring my new iPad mini retina last weekend I first ignored the questions on the installation of the free iWork apps.
    Now I would like to install them but I only find the paid version in the App Store. What am I donning wrong. Or was it a missed opportunity and bad luck for me.

    I had exactly the same problem but my son told me I had to update to the most up to date ios first.  Currently it's only got version 6.1 on it, and it didn't say there was an update available but when I click "check for updates" it started to install version 7.  I believe you need version 7 installed first, then if you go to the Store, it will say the software is free to download.   I'll check back once it's finished installing the update and let you know. 

  • My new iPad mini can't install apps - I have updated to IOS 7.1.2 - I note that one possible solution is to reset all under settings General but I don't see "reset" - please help

    1. Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    2. Sign out and sign back in to iTunes and App Store
    Settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID>Sign out and sign in

  • Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

    Hi all,
    I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
    None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
    iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
    There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
    If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
    Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
    Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
    Many thanks. Mark

    I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
    It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
    For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
    This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

  • TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out.  My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out.  My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do?  Does anyone else have this problem?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • TS1702 I have doc to go on two other apple products and would like to install on my new iPad mini. How do I do this without paying

    I have data Viz documents to go on three other apple products. MacBook, ifone4 and iPad. I would like to install on my new iPad mini. Do I have to pay the $10 or can I do it for free

  • HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

    I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

    Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
    The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
    You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
    Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.

  • 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.

  • New iPad Mini with Issues Downloading over wifi

    First, I have a brand new iPad Mini (1 day old), 16 GB Wifi. Second, I did a restore from iCloud Backup and this worked fairly well. But now, if I try to download any apps (new or previously purchased) after I sign in with my password, they either stall during the download process or don't download/install at all. I have checked the internet connection (wifi) at home (6 to 10 MB download) and at work (25 to 45 MB download). Third, I do not have any problems getting to any web sites through Safari or accessing content through other apps like CNN, Zite, or USA Today.

    Update... I can't watch any streaming video either.

  • I am setting up my new iPad mini.  I managed most of it, but the contacts, and some of the apps didn't transfer.  How do I accomplish this?

    I am setting up my new iPad mini from my iMac.  I have backed up my old ipad so all info has been saved and sinced. I did not get my contacts and apps when the download, or sinc was complete.  How do I add them?  BTW, the instructions given while installing during the get started portion instructed me to use the start as new option.  Thanks

    You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
    In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

    If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

  • I need help.  My three boys have brand new iPad mini's and I would like to set them up.  I would like to create one new apple ID and have it shared by all three.  This way they can share content (apps, music).  How do I do that?

    Looking for an information management solution.  I have three boys that have brand new ipad mini's.  I would like to set them up to manage information the easiest way. 
    My first thought was to use my apple ID for their apps and purchases.  This would give me the advantage of seeing everything downloaded and be able to monitor this closely.  The disadvantage to me, was that they would see all of my contracts, my apps, and my music. 
    My other thought was to create one new apple ID and to share that among the three boys.  This way I would not have to worry about my information being on their ipads. 
    This is a very confusing situation for me.  My goal is seperate my stuff from my kids stuff.  Appreicate input from anyone who has in-depth experience with this as it applies to apple ID, icloud ID, and any detailed explaination of how to do this would be appreiciated.  Thanks. 

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?
