New ipad mini retina cannot select "never" for time out period. It makes the product useless for such things as navigation and frustrating for reading

Must add the never option to the time out period or the product is useless for navigation and other purposes where continual use is required.

This should be an option in the General settings on your iPad. The option is called Auto-Lock. There should be the following options: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and Never.
If you select Never, that should stop the screen from going to sleep automatically. If the Never option is not present, you more than likely have a Exchange account synced with the device that does not allow that option. If that account is disabled, that option should show.

  • Ipad mini retina cannot share hot spot with Bluetooth for Iphon5

  • I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out.  How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

    I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?  If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought?  Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase?  Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • 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. 

  • Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY

    Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY
    I hate to, but I feel I am a guinea pig at 700.00 a crack 128gb mini.
    I have 4 of them and THEY ALL DO IT. I have restored, setup as new ipad but nothing works.
    also, the colors on the new ipad mini seem dull and off. I have a plum colored car and it looks brown on the mini.
    Giving up...

    i bought an iPad Mini Retina earlier this week
    came back home, updated to iOS 7.0.4 and it crashed many times, while browsing settings but also some apps
    i had it exchanged because of a yellow tint on the screen
    got a new one, under 7.0.3, also crashed several times, updated to 7.0.4, still crashing
    wondering if the new 64-bit processor has something to do with the code used for iOS

  • Brand new iPad Mini Retina- dead out of box

    Just got a brand new ipad Mini retina and it won't turn on. Have tried all kind of reset button combos and nothing. Any suggestions or is it really dead? Have an appt at Apple Store in the morning, but would love to resolve it before then.

    It's possible that its battery is totally dead. Try plugging it in and let it sit for an hour or two and see if there are any signs of life. Even if it does come back, I would still keep that appointment and get it checked out because normally iPads have a charge when you unbox them.

  • Brand new iPad Mini Retina won't charge when its connected to my PC

    I just opened up my brand new iPad Mini Retina and attempted to plug it into my PC and set it up. The iPad quickly recognizes my PC, briefly displays the charge symbol then immediately displays "not charging." I have attempted to plug the iPad into the wall, and it charges just fine. All the cables I'm using are straight out of the box which I bought right from the Apple Store so I know its not any of those. My laptop is fully charged and also plugged into the wall, so I know its not my computer. I also double checked everything by plugging my iPhone 5 into my computer (with the new iPad lightening cable) and it charges/syncs just fine. Im stumped, please help me fix my brand new iPad Mini Retina.

    I know you said PC, for for others that have an iMac with USB 3 ports, they can put out extra power to charge an iPad.  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US)

  • New ipad mini retina: Safari crashes every time I hit the plus icon to open a second page

    Brand new iPad mini retina, safari crashes every time it try to open a second window

    Cleared and cleared then rebooted. Worked like a charm. Multiple windows open fine now, hardest part was navigating my way back here. Thanks dido ones... Bah auto correct diavonex.... Anyway, much appreciated. Just surprised it didn't work right straight out of the box,  but possibly a hiccup from starting this device from a backup of my iPhone.

  • Below this app Iphoto logo word "waiting" been there for 10 days. I have a brand new Ipad mini Retina display with A7chip and M7

    I purchased a New Ipad Mini the latest with A7 chip and M7 Retina Display. I cannot download any apps. When I click apps Iphoto will appear .
    I dont need to use Iphoto. I want to download Candy Crush Saga.  And below my Iphoto logo there's a word " waiting". Isnt it that Iphoto is built in to this Ipad Mini? I want to download Imovie apps or any apps but I cant..What should I do Apple..

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again to download the app of your choice.

  • New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

    I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

    Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

  • Having issues with new iPad mini retina 128 dropping wifi

    New ipad mini have issues with dropping signal while I am in the middle of connection.  I can be reading a book or email and it will just drop the connection.  When I try to hook back up it says it cannot join.  My iphone 5c is right next to me and is connecting fine.  It is frustrating when  I am in the middle of taking notes in an area and it drops the signal and I lose everything.  I can be 5 feet away and it will not hook up.  Also, I have reset the network settings and started all over.  It helped for a day or so and it started all over again.  Also, I have reset and turned off and on my router to assure the signal connections.  I am now in the process of taking it back for a replacement.  Apple says it is a hardware issue. 

    I'm experiencing the same problem.
    But my old iPad mini is connecting fine.
    I think it is a firmware or software problem?
    I hope Apple will fix this issue on an update sooner!

  • Moving iPad2 photos to new iPad Mini Retina

  • Photo app keeps crashing on new ipad mini retina

    When clicking on the share button in the photos app it is very, very slow to load. My iPhone 4S loads faster than the new ipad mini then the photo app will crash.
    Any ideas? Is it an ios 7 bug?

    It's probably because you don't have enough storage to add all the photos. This happened to me too last week, but I (finally) figured it out. I have many apps and photos on my iPad, so my storage was low. I deleted a few things, and it worked perfectly fine!! Hope this is the same case for you
