Hmmm, Are you sure you have an iPad mini 2? To confirm this check the Model number on the back. It will be either A1489, A1490 or A1491 All these models are capable of updating to iOS 12.x If the model number is either A1454 or A1455 it is the first mini and it can go to iOS 9.3.5
Either way an iOS update should be your first focus. robin > On 26 Jan 2019, at 8:18 am, Severin Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Software update says 8.5 is it. > > Sent from Sev's iPhone > > On 25 Jan 2019, at 17:39, Ronni Brown <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > wrote: > >> Hello again Severin, >> >> Is there a reason why you haven’t updated from iOS 8.5? >> Devices as far back as the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad mini 2 can >> update to iOS 12 >> https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iosapps/ios-12-compatibility-3521184/ >> <https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iosapps/ios-12-compatibility-3521184/> >> >> Kind regards, >> Ronni >> >> Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB >> >> >> On 25 Jan 2019, at 6:20 am, Ronni Brown <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >>> Hello Severin, >>> >>> I guess you tried a complete shutdown and restart of your iPad2 mini. >>> >>> Try: Reset Network Settings >>> Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. >>> This will not erase any apps or media but will erase Wi-Fi passwords. >>> >>> Kind regards, >>> Ronni >>> >>> Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB >>> >>> >>>> On 24 Jan 2019, at 9:37 pm, Severin Crisp <[email protected] >>>> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>> >>>> I am using an ageing iPad2 mini with iOS 8.5 >>>> With several sites I open the app and then get a " not connected to the >>>> Internet" message which patently is not true. >>>> Is this an age phenomenon and is there a workaround? >>>> Severin Crisp >>>> >>>> Sent from Sev's iPad >>>> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- >>>> Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml >>>> <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml>> >>>> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml >>>> <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml>> >>>> Settings & Unsubscribe - >>>> <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug >>>> <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>> >>> >> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- >> Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml >> <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml>> >> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml >> <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml>> >> Settings & Unsubscribe - >> <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug >> <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>> > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Settings & Unsubscribe - > <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
