The new mini ipad

Hi, i am new to tablets and want to buy my first one, (7''ish). I'm considering the new Ipad mini coming out because it's one of the few that have back facing cameras for stills and video. But the difference between the 16Gb and 32 Gb for storage is quite high. I like to back up all of my music, videos and photo's ect on to pen drives rather than a exterior hard drive. My question is; by using the lightning to USB connector would it be possible to connect the Ipad mini to a pen drive on the move and read & write to it for extra storage and even stream video to and from it?
Hope this doesn't come across as a stupid question as i'm a bit of a novice with hand held devices.
Many thank's.

With the full-sized iPads you've only been able to use the camera connection kit to copy photos and videos from SD cards, cameras, and some flash drives (a lot require too much power) to the iPad's Photos app (and the card/flashdrive needs to have a DCIM directory off its root with the photos and videos underneath with 8 character filenames plue extension) - you haven't been able to copy content off the iPad with it nor to copy music to the iPad with it. I doubt that that will change with the mini-iPad.
There are a number of wifi-enabled drives now on the market that allow you to stream content to the iPad (and I assume that they will work with the mini-iPad) e.g. Seagate GoFlex Satellite etc.

How do I load Keynotes, pages and Imovies on to the new Mini Ipad?

Go to the app store. Make sure you're using the same Apple ID you used to activate your device. Search for the apple apps and you should have the option to install them for free.

HT4157 All my texts on my iphone stopped working when I synced my new mini ipad with the same ID as my iphone. ATT said was that was the reasons my texts failed. How do I give my mini ipad a new apple ID and still be able to sync the iphone and iPad?

My texts all failed when I synced my iphone 4S to my new mini ipad with cellular. ATT said I needed to create a separate ID for the mini ipad in order for texting to work. Will separate apple IDs still enable me to sync my iphone to my mini ipad?

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

HT1535 I just started my new mini IPad, and when I clicked the network, my connect to iTunes went off, now I can't move on or get that connect to iTunes back on the screen so that I keep going

IT is so frustrating,because I cannot go further without being connected to iTunes..it's a brand new mini IPad, and I gave the network and then the iTunes thing to press to connect disappeared...HELP!

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Hello. I don't live in the U.S. and I'd like to buy a new mini IPad retina. But I see it is offered with four mobile operators. Does that mean I cannot use another operator, in my country, with it?

My new mini ipad and my older ipod make both via wifi no more contact with the internet!

My new mini ipad and my older ipod make both via wifi no more contact with the internet!
Two weeks ago we bought a mini iPad in New York. In New York, we have also taken into use cases. The mini ipad disposal was connected to the mac computer of my son, who lives there. We have not made backup. At home in the Netherlands, we wanted this case for charging on the Windows computer, that we have at home. Immediately, the itunes program was activated (we had a few years an ipod in the house). Appears in the computer the message that you can register. Cases I tried that. I do not know if I did succeeded. There also were some choices of settings. So I made the mistake of choosing the setting to use movies as I recall.
That same afternoon comes on the ipod in the message screen that he can connect to the server no contact. WIFI contact fails. The ipad is happening the same. The computer still works fine with the wifi connection. Both Apple devices have done well yesterday here in the Netherlands.
Please give me a good advice?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can I download itunes to my new mini ipad with out it automatically syncing with my windows computer. I only want it on the ipad

Can I download iTunes to my new mini ipad without it automatically syncing over to my Window vista computer. I only want tunes on my ipad I want to keep my computer separate

iTunes cannot be downloaded to an iPad. iTunes on an iPad is already preinatalled so there's no need to download it, and on the iPad its the store access. The icon looks like this:

I added a new mini ipad and created a new email for it in icloud when i did that i could no longer get back in my apple ID and download anything and lost all my money on my account. it says my account never excisted which I had from 2007 and 1300 items

i opened an icloud account for a new mini ipad to give them their own email, so they wouldnt be on my account, but when I came back to my account I could no longer get in my account with my password, so my account was gone....and now all the accounts are over lapped and dont work right, I want to get back to my original apple ID and everything I have bought over the last 6 years!!
what do I do

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Hello Yves,
If the restore is taking a long time, then I would start the process over. Check out the article below for more information.

New mini ipad issue...

I got a new mini ipad for Christmas, and it won't let me get started. It keeps saying that it cant connect to the server.. This is my 2nd ipad and I have iphone, with no problems.. Can anyone help? I cant register it at all...

Initially? Maybe just a little patience. I'm sure you're one of thousands that all got new toys and are all trying to activate them, and unfortunately, apple is rather well known for demand overwhelming servers on days like this or the first 24 hours of a new software release.
