iPad mini 4 - not connecting- NOW SOLVED :-)

[peterepeat69]

Ok, just done a complete factory install (iTunes recovery mode).

App 2.7.1 will now connect to my iPad mini

Is your iPad still on 9.3.1 ?

Not sure if it was the iOS update or the go app or what that caused problem.
Hopefully now got it on there I will be ok with old firmware......
1.4.3

From the questions I've asked and reading tonnes of posts sticking to the old and what works saves a lot of grief

Yes, could not agree more but the iPad mini 4 is new and came with latest iOS.
In fact my iPhone has the latest and works ok. (and has 2.4.3 on it)

It's all very weird, hard to chase it down to one thing the only way I do it is to read as many posts as possible, I like success stories more that's for sure.

I have not updated my iTunes folder on my mac and kept 2.4.3 on there, so should take a few minutes to try (an hour to restore if not

 

[robinb]

Well,

So I deleted 2.7.3 off my iPad.

Then transferred 2.4.3 from iTunes back too it.

and.......

It works !!!!!!

Why is everyone having issue with ipad mini 4? mine has always worked perfect?

 

[robinb]

Not sure its just the mini 4 as some people had the issue with air 2.

Maybe the migration of a back up of go app to a new device causes the problem that a full erasure does not clear. It was only a factory restore (recovery mode) that sorted it out.

I just had the same issue with my new iPad Pro. You're going to end up losing your 2.4.3 version. You'll need to place the Mini in recovery mode. Turn off your iPad and hold down the home button as you plug it in to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You can let go once you see the iTunes connection appear on your screen. From there you can completely wipe the iPad and restore to factory settings. Upon completion, you'll need to set up the iPad as new and not restore it from a prior backup. I had to go through this for days before it was figured out. I was also on 2.4.3 however, I think this is the only was to fix you issue. PM me with more questions.

THANK YOU!

I sincerely appreciated your answer and for taking the time to post. It fixed the problem I was having as well...

My iPad Mini 4 was working perfectly. But for unrelated reasons I decided to do an "Erase All Content and Settings" reset from the iPad settings. After the reset and installing the DJI GO app, it would no longer connect. Would not even acknowledge that it was connected to the RC.

Going through the iTunes-connected wipe as you suggest, fixed the problem.

THANK YOU!

2 days ago I had the same problem.. DJI GO app did not connect to the RC at all on new iPad air2 purchased for drone flight.. the 'camera view' option did not appear at all with screen showing 'how to connect' option all the time..

iTunes connected wipe of the iPad and upgrade to iOS 9.3.1 solved the problem for me as well..

I have the same problem. DJi Go doesn't recognise RC Controller on Ipad Mini 4, but has no problem with iphone 6. I reset the ipad with Itunes, but before resetting, i turned the backup of DJI App and deleted it, backed up again. After reset, I restored via Icloud. Installed DJi App, connected without any problem.

Same here,reset my iPad mini 2 via iTunes, it downloaded and reinstalled 9.3.1 and now DJI Go works fine. Weird!

My wife's iPad Mini 2 which was running 9.1 connected straight away. My iPad Air 2 did the same on 9.3.1, no connection until reset via iTunes.
