Why my new ipad mini does not have an app store icon?

I received a new ipad mini as a gift. It came in the original state, unopen, unused, seal intact. After doing the necessary set-up, I found that both the App Store and iTune icons were missing from the home page. I am therefore unable to purchase new apps. Any one facing such problem before? Any advice? Thanks.

Yup, too many children were making purchases and doing things they were supposed to do. So engineering thought this would solve it

  • New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream

    New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream. Turned on sharing on both devices and also setup bluetooth both devices and they are connected. have photos on my mini put does not send to my Mac using photo stream
    Gary

    Photo stream doesn't use bluetooth; only wifi.  Photos added to the camera roll on your device are automatically added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, your device is connected to wifi, and it has at least 20 % battery life remaining.  Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not photos prior to enabling photo stream.  If the photos appear in your my photo stream album on your iPad Mini, then they were successfully added to your photo stream.
    To share them with your Mac, your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.4) or higher, and you must have either iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 9.2 or higher.  If you do, you must sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream in order for the photos to automatically be added to iPhoto (or Aperture).  This is explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

  • The ipad mini does not have flash for pictures. Is there an app that can add flash for low light?

    Since the ipad mini does not have flash for taking photos in low light situations I'm wondering if there is an app that one can use with flash?

    Since there's no flash mechanism on the device, I doubt there's an app. You can't control what isn't there.

  • HT1414 My new ipad mini does not allow me to switch between modes in the built-camera app. It is stuck on video mode. Can anyone advise?

    My new ipad mini will not let me switch between modes when using the built in camera app. It is stuck on Video mode. I am unable to take photos, although I could when I first used it. Could this be a fault with the pad or with the new 7.0.4 update? Can anyone help please?

    Have you tried to force quit the app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to see the icon and preview for the camera app. Flip that app up and off the screen to close it then single tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.
    Try your camera app again and see if you can switch modes.
    When you switch modes, you do have to drag the words, not just tap on the video word, if that makes any sense. When you try to go from video to photo, do you try to drag the photo word to the front?

  • My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices

    I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
    Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
    Thank you.

  • HT4623 my ipad 2 does not have a software update icon to press

    My ipad 2 will not update. I have looked at instructions which say go to settings, general and press software update ... there is no icon saying software update on my ipad... very frustrating!! Help

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • My Ipod 4th generation does not have the app store!

    Hello i recently bought an ipod 4th generation that was 8gb but when i turned it on i noticed that there is no app store. the version is on 6.1.6 what can i do to make the app store appear again please help thanks!

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPod has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop

    My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!

    That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.
    Read more about charging the battery here.
