Why will my iPad mini not turn on FaceTime in settings?

Seriously, I can't use FaceTime at all on my iPad mini, because it thinks that I have FaceTime turned off in settings, but I don't!

Most USB port do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.
iPhone only need a 5W charger.
iPad however need a 10W or 12W charger.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.

IPad mini not turning on less than a week after purchase!

Hello everyone. I bought a new iPad mini 64G last Saturday while on vacation in Canada. I just returned to Qatar and was using my new iPad the past 2 days after restoring from my account for my old iPad. today, I leave to charge and after a little over an hour, I try to use it and it won't turn on! tried resetting but nothing happens, tried charging, again nothing, connected to itunes, nothing! There is no Apple store in this country, and they will acknowledge anything not purchased from a local store. Any ideas please?

Reset like this?
Reboot 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.
Connected to iTunes ... To do what? Restore the iPad? Connected to iTunes doesn't really tell us anything. Try restoring the iPad software. If iTunes does not recognize the iPad, try Recovery mode. recovery mode is covered at the very end of this support article if you need it.

Why does my ipad mini not have any sound?

My ipad mini does not have sound in any of my apps (mostly games). Sound is on in settings, and sound is turned on in each app. It is a first generation mini, not a retina display. Thanks for any suggestions.

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

Why does my iPad mini not receive 2.4ghz signal but does receive 5.0 ghz signal?

I have an iPad mini that does not receive a signal from any router on 2.4 ghz, but does receive a signal from the same router if it is 5.0 ghz. Since most public wireless systems broadcast on 2.4 ghz, I am unable to use the mini anywhere except my home office, where I have dual frequency router. I have checked into every technical help site I can find, and most of them suggest resetting the mini, resetting the router, etc. Nothing works so far. Is it possible that the receiver in the mini is defective? Has anyone else had this problem?

There is a problem with iPad Mini's as this has happedned with two separate mini's. I have been to every Apple related site that I can find, and have reset both the units and the Netgear router in my home office numerous times without success. I'm a retired electronics engineer, formerly in Silicon Valley, so I'm reasonably confident that I haven't missed anything obvious in troubleshooting this problem..
I have been to the local Apple store and have had a couple of consultations with the geniuses there. In each case they have confirmed that the units will not receive a 2.4 ghz signal but will receive 5 ghz. Apple stores only have 5 ghz wireless so it took a while for them to understand the problem and I had to connect to a 2.4 ghz system with my iPhone5 to a department store next door before they would believe me. They did take back the first unit and within two weeks the second unit had failed in the same way. 5 ghz OK but no reception on 2.4 ghz. Since most public wireless systems are on 2.4 ghz, the unit is rather worthless when I am travelling.
I use an iPad2, an iPhone5 and a Macbook Air and we have two other iPads in the family, all of which are on the same 2.4 ghz wireles system and all functioning properly. I can only conclude that the 2.4 ghz transmitter/receiver in the iPad mini has a fundamental fault and hopefully Apple will recognize it and have a fix. In this case it will have to be a replacment unit as it's unlikely a technician would be able to replace the electronics in the field.
I would like to hear from anyone who has observed this same problem. Unfortunately, most of the advice on these forums concentrate on resetting the iPad or the router and fail to understand that the problem is hardware related and not software related. Perhaps this could be the beginning of a dialogue and a potential fix for the problem.

Why will my iPhone 4 not turn on, charge, or be recognized by my mac?

I went to check the time on my phone and click the home button to show the lock screen. When did this, my phone remained blank then I tried the lock button, and that didnt work either. I then tried to plug it in to charge and not even a red battery showed up like when it was dead. It wouldn't even be recognized by my computer. I have only had the phone since May and take very good care of it. I DID NOT DROP IT!
please help me!

If you can't charge your device, you'll have to get it serviced.

Did you try another USB cable and check the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?

I suppose cost is one reason.

HT4623 Why will my iPad 1 not update to ios 7?

I bought this iPad for my daughter and really rely on the "guided access" but I can't seem to find it on this iPad 1 and I am assuming it is due to the outdated operating system. I want it to update - do I need to jailbreak it for that to happen?

Hardware limitation (256MB RAM)
New iPad have 1GB RAM (4 times more)

Why will my iPhone 4 not turn on? It turned off randomly today while it was fully charged and I don't know why...

I dont really know how to work this conversation thing but I need an answer to the question above!

If the lock button is broken you are out of luck. Your phone is doomed. You can try connecting it to iTunes on your computer. If it is recognized by iTunes you can restore it. If not you need a new phone.

Why will my ipad 2 not show up when I plug in

Cannot get my ipad to be recognised on itunes. what a waste of money

Have a look at your firewall, it's probably blocking the iPad. If you are using a third party firecwall, such as AVG 2012 or McAfee etc... go to their website and search their knowledgebase for iTunes issues and follow the directions given. If you are using Windows firewall, go to Microsoft.com and search the KB for iTunes issues and follow the instructions.

IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)? Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac. Software updates both report: "up to date"

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.

What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
