What do I lose if I buy iPad mini rather than ipad 4 besides the size of screen

What do I gain for upgrading my Ipad 3 retina display for ipad 4 or the mini ipad .

If that's the case, then it makes lot more sense than simply buying the iPad 4 for the sake of having the latest and greatest new device.
As for the iPad Mini, that would be a downgrade and would make no sense in terms of what the two devices have to offer. My opinon only ..... but I believe that Apple wanted to release a smaller and less expensive "entry level" tablet device to take away some of the luster of the Galaxy Tab, the Kindle Fire and the B&N Nook which are smaller, less expensive devices. The Mini is still a great device, but its a downgrade for the iPad 3, that's all.
I have fooled around with the iPad 4 quite a few times at my local Best Buy Store and it is faster than the iPad 3. I cannot speak about the quality of the camera, I didn't try that, so I don't know anything more about it other than what the Apple iPad spec website claims. If you can get a good price for the iPad 3, and you really want to upgrade the device, then go ahead and do it. You would be as up to date with all of the Apple devices at that point as you could be. I personally would stay away from the Mini, that's all.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The type of plugin that you need depends on the type of video file that you wish to view. We would need more details to assist.

  • What do I need to charge my iPad when in the UK?

    What do I need to charge my iPad when in the UK?  I know I need the UK plug adapter, but does the 12W iPad charge adapter convert the power?

    If you are using the Apple supplied charger, you will simply need  a plug adapter for the local power system.
    As per your other post, if you wish to simplify your packing, the iPad charger could be used for the iPhone and the iPad.

  • HT204406 Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

    Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
    Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
    This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

    Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay.  This should do it:
    Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

    Why is my ipad stuck in the low battery screen?
    Help!

    Are you sure the device is charging? 
    Try resetting the device.  Hold the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds (until you see the Apple Logo, then release).

  • I am wondering if apple could make an ipad about half the size? It would be easier to carry and would be easier to read than an Iph one.

    I am wondering if apple could make an ipad about half the size? It would be easier to carry and would be easier to read than an Iphone.

    Apple's engineers have apparently decided that the iPhone/touch/iPad and MacBook fit the most popular needs.
    Did you have a developer related question?

  • How do I "see" what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image?

    How do I ”see” what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image 

    The "?" in a graphics container box means that the file can't be read, hasn't been downloaded or is simply unavailable.
    If you'd tell us where, exactly, you're seeing this icon, we may be able to help. If it's in email, for example, usually all you have to do is select "download pictures" (I use Outlook, so I don't know the Mail equivalent).
    Call back with some more detail...

  • My ipad froze on the apple logo screen after installing ios8  what do i dd?

    my ipad froze in the apple logo restart screen when I tried to install ios8.  it wont do anything.  please help!

    Try a reset.  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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can I copy the current content of my iPod nano 7 en masse to an iPad, rather than have to replicate the content item by item?

    I've had an iPod Nano 7 (16 GB) for just over a year, and I don't sync my entire music library at once--just a few gigs of favorites plus current podcast episodes and an occasional audiobook. I recently received a second-hand 3rd generation iPad (also 16GB) as a gift, and pondered adding at least a portion of the music I carry on the Nano to the iPad.  Is there a simple method in iTunes to just transfer the content from one to the other, rather than having to go over the list of songs on the Nano and transfer them from my PC to the iPad one by one?  I've already tried copy & paste and drag & drop methods from iPod to iPad directly, and neither of those appear to be options in iTunes.
    Barring that, is there a wired or wireless option for the two devices to communicate directly with each other, and allow the content on the Nano to play through the iPad--essentially using the iPad's sound system as speakers for the Nano, and eliminate the need to carry headphones or a portable speaker for the Nano?  Note that I mean the two linking directly to one another, without using a wi-fi network (as I don't have a portable wi-fi hotspot) or other method of outside connection (the iPad is not cellular-capable).  Just on a lark, I turned the Bluetooth capability on for both devices, and neither device detected the other, so I see that connecting via Bluetooth doesn't seem to be an option.  (You may also note by the above that my understanding of wireless connectivity in general is limited, so feel free to correct me about any misunderstandings that the above may indicate).
    Thanks for taking the time to read.

    The simplest method would have been to use one or more playlists to control what you sync to the iPod nano. You could then sync that same set of playlists to the new device. You cannot sync directly from one device to the other. All content is copied from iTunes. You may be able to export one or more XML playlists from the device, import those back into iTunes, and then add the playlists to your iPad.

  • HT4913 Hi, I was trying add a second computer on iTunes Match. I was signed into both machines with a single ID which already has iTunes Match. When I selected iTunes match, it asked me to buy it again rather than add. Now I've got it on neither machine-

    Hi, I was trying add a second computer on iTunes Match.
    I was signed into iTunes on both machines with a single ID which already has iTunes Match from the primary machine. When I selected iTunes match on the second, it asked me to subscribe to it again rather than add.
    To try to fix this, I signed out of the primary machine and so i was only in the second computer.  This didnt work and when i tried to log back into Match on the primary machine it has the same problem now, asking me to buy iTunes Match when I already have it!
    Now I've got it on neither machine- can someone please help!!
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
    If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".
