It can also serve the function of announcing any problems, bug fixes, etc.

like on my ipad 4 it looked like an iphone app in 1x mode but it also shrunk down the status bar and wouldn't let you interact with it. my buddy inked adrenaline, has an ipad mini and restarted his; had the same issue but he could still interact with cydia. the only fix was to go into safe mode, open cydia, then respring...

see for yourself, jailbreak completely. launch cydia. reboot your ipad (turn it off then back on).. i'm attatching a screen shot (power+home button) so you can see what i'm talking about.

I uninstalled Retinapad and that issue went away for me. At least for the time being.

Before I start the process, I'd like to know how long I'm going to need to "sit back and relax" while my Mini jailbreaks (and at what point I should start to worry if it hasn't completed).

Once jailbroken, will I be able to load MP4 and text files directly from my phone or laptop, or will I still need to use iTunes?

I'm fortunate in that I haven't done much yet with my iPa(i)d Mini, so hopefully won't have any issues. I got it specifically to use while flying (WingX GPS program), and haven't had a chance yet to load much of anything on it because I'm so busy.

After applying the JB and re-installing my tweaks, I'm stuck in Safe Mode. Unfortunately, I didn't notice when it started to show up or I could probably just un-install the app that caused it. Is there any way to troubleshoot this problem or do I need to start over with the JB?

EDIT: apparently it was the Quasar tweak that did it. I guess it's not compatible with IOS 6.1 yet.

I loaded the program (Windoze ver) on my Toughbook, started it, got the box, plugged in my iPad, and . . .nothing happens. The "Jailbreak" button is still grayed out.

Does the computer have to be ONLINE when the program is run? My laptop has only one USB port -- do I need to borrow a computer so that I can be online and still able to connect the iPad?

Does iTunes have to be loaded?

It sounds as if you need to restore another version of iOS 6.1. So, try following the steps in this tutorial: http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...lsafe-method-restore-current-version-ios.html

If you follow it exactly, you should end up with a stock iPad running iOS 6.1. Good luck.

Yes, iTunes has to be loaded. It's the only place where you will find the drivers for the iPad. Windows won't recognize the iPad at all without those drivers. You'll need the most current version on the computer - although it won't be/shouldn't be open or running.

Thanks, Marilyn! I'll go get that loaded and try again. The Toughbook was finding it as a camera.

That isn't completely true. I use an older version of iTunes and I made it through the process with no problem.

Looks like an old problem has resurfaced. Pressing the volume down once quickly mutes it. Tried resetting all activator setting to default. When respring, pressing three times mutes the first time

After that, it mutes first tap.
