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.

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 set up my ipad mini as new and now I am wondering how to get my stuff from my ipad2 identity to my new ipad mini identity. Is there a way or do I need to swipe it clean and start over? Thanks.
You can resync stuff. But if you want your mini to be a near clone of your 2, and if you have a good backup, I'd start over.

I do not have wireless, how can I set up my iPad mini - or can I?
You can use your iPad without a Wi-Fi connection but you must have a Wi-Fi connection to set it up. There are many places that offer free Wi-Fi. You can set your iPad up at any one of those.

HT1695 how can I set-up my new ipad mini in a hotel that requires logon info via a browser?
I am in a hotel in Japan and stuck at the setup stage. I get the following error: Y'our iPad cannot not be activated beacuase the activation server cannot be reached'. Well ths is because the hotel requires extra logon info via a pop-screen in the web-browser. The Apple setup procedure does not allow to go into safari to do this. Any tips how to activate my iPad in this hotel?
ThanksLeon...
You need a broadband connection to activiate an iPad.

No, it wor't using Safari and not a good idea to use a hotel network for lack of security. -

‘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 cancelling 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.

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. ?

The iPad mini is basically a one user device. There are no Accounts. You can set up restrictions so that only you can do certain things.

How do I set up an Apple ID for my 8 year olds new iPad Mini?
My 8 year old daughter got a brand new iPad Mini for Christmas and I'm trying to set it up for her to use. I keep getting a notification saying that I nee to create a Family Sharing Group from another device that has iOS 8 or later... my device is iOS 7 and am not getting an option in my iCloud setting to create a Family Sharing Group. I'm not sure what I can do since I can't make an apple ID for my daughter on her iPad mini getting started and setting it up for use...
As stated in the message your received (as you mentioned above), you need to use iOS 8 to setup/use Family Sharing. If you are using iOS 7, you cannot setup/use Family Sharing. To setup/use Family Sharing, you must update your devices to iOS 8.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?
You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.
