IPad air Smart Cover not aligning properly

Is anyone else having issues?
My nice new iPad air arrived on Tuesday, 3 days latter I received my apple Smart Cover! Why not send them together? That's another storey.
After a days use, I notice that the cover is not aligning properly, then I read online that it could be an issues with the actual iPad not the cover, anyone else having these problems?
Experienced outcomes?
Regards
Norm.

You don't have this option?
Open Settings->General->Lock/Unlock...make sure it is toggled on.
Also, try restarting the iPad then check Settings again.
When the iPad recognizes that the cover is installed that setting should appear and as I can recall, it defaults to that setting being ON. Are you using an Apple Smart Cover or a third party cover. If it's an Apple cover & that setting doesn't appear, take the cover back to the store & exchange it, there may be a problem with the magnet placement in the cover. If that doesn't fix the issue then you may have to make an appointment at a Genius Bar to have them run a diagnostic on your iPad.

Smart cover not working properly with new iPad

Does the iPad Air Smart Cover lose it's magnetism?

Weirdest thing happened last week. I have an iPad Air 32GB Cellular since about the first month they were released. I have been using a Poetic thin shell cover on the back and an Apple Smart Cover on the front since I purchased the Air.
Last week (around Wednesday) the magnets stopped working. If I were to hold the iPad Air facing down, the Smart Cover would just dangle. I even removed the back thin shell cover thinking it was interfering. Same thing though, the cover just dangled. It was this way for several days. I even had to turn off the ability to sleep/wake the iPad using the cover because it would click on and off over and over again as I was carrying it. (Which to me would say the magnetism was not lost but became less, really weird.)
Today (Sunday) it just started working again. How is that possible? I can't find anything on the net saying this happens. How can the Smart Cover just lose it's magnetism and get it back after about 5 days?
Thank you for any insight you can offer.

Mine actually seems to have become repelant. I thought I had a weird crease but thats not the case. When I lay the cover on a flat surface it lays flat. When I put it on my iPad it lifts slightly.

Does Anyone Make A Leather iPad mini Smart Cover (Not a Case)

I'm looking for a leather smart cover for the iPad mini (not a case that also covers the back). Does anyone make one?

I found a few options by doing a web search for "ipad mini leather smart cover". Whether any would suit you I can't say, but you can look into the available options.

Smart cover not working properly after upgrade to iOS7

Since I upgraded my Ipad mini to iOS7 the smart cover stopped working as it was working before. Usually, when I closed the cover the ipad went to sleep and when I opened it the ipad woke up. Is it another problem of iOS7 ? Is there any solution?

IPad air safari browser not working properly

Ever since my last update to 8.1, the safari browser on my iPad air 16 Gb has had problems responding. I can search but the links in the search results may or may not respond. Sometimes the links work and sometimes they don't. I have tried closing all the open windows and clearing the safari history and website data. The problem does not go away. Has anyone found a fix for this problem?

Close all Inactive Apps
1. Double-click the Home button to see all Inactive Apps
2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close App
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo

Why does the iPad Air Smart Case not sit flush?

I bought one today and was immediately disappointed.
When the cover is closed the first 1/3 sections (closest to the hinge) is raised above the screen. When it's fully opened in 'reading' mode, the cover lumps up on the back of the iPad. This makes it uncomfortable to hold in the hand and it's strange this design decision was allowed to make it to a final product. Additionally, when in 'standing' mode for watching video, the folding stand has a tendency to fall on itself every now and then.
Why wasn't it designed so it lies flush in both open and closed mode? I've been using a cheaper 3rd party case for the last 6 months that was better designed. The only difference is the quality of materials. However if I'm paying $100 for an Apple case I expect perfect design, function and quality. It fails in the design and function department. The leather feels nice to touch, but it doesn't compensate for its flaws.
Reading through Apple forums and other review sites, it appears I'm not alone. I haven't made up my mind yet but I'm leaning towards a refund.

The stiffness of the leather hinge is probably what is causing this. I'm assuming that it will get better as time goes on and the leather "breaks-in" from use and becomes more flexible. You can possibly help it along by periodically creasing the hinge manually where it bends, like you'd crease a sheet of paper. You are by all means entitled to a refund so that's your choice & option as well.

Just found out that my iPad hone button is not aligned properly

The home button is also not stiff that it produce click sound even when I am just toughing it
Any of you share the same condition that i have on my iPad?

I just got an iPad mini Smart Cover and it keeps locking my iPad

I Folded the Smart Cover to the back and sometimes it just looks itself like that. Why?

Obviously it shouldn't do this. Either the Smart Cover is defective - or your iPad is too sensitive. See last comment in the following similar discussion - Apple replaced the person's iPad.
My iPad Air smart cover is causing my screen to turn off when I flip it so that it lies across the back of my iPad

Does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

No - if you look at the specs, the sizes of the two devices is quite different.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ (the iPad 3 and 4 are near identical in size to the iPad 2 dimensions).

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

Apple iPad 2 Smart Cover For iPad 1

Helo folks
Since no difference between first and sec gen. Of pad's screen , length and width sizes, i want to get a ipad 2 smart cover for my original ipad 1 , possible ? .. It should
?

The display size and resolution are the same, the iPads themselves are not exactly the same dimension. Also, the new iPad has magnets inside of it help the smart cover attach itself to the new model.
You would be wasting your money, the Smart Cover is for the iPad 2 only.

Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.

Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't. Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

IPad 2 smart cover, mine is falling to bits and has stained my screen protector. Anyone else had the same problem?

iPad 2 smart cover. Mine is falling apart and has marked my screen protector with black lines. Anyone else experienced this?

Mine has worked fine. What model do you have, the leather or the other? I've read of others using screen protectors like Zagg absorbing some of the dye. Of course considering the cost they are to produce ($12 is what I read for the leather) it doesn't surprise me some of the dye is coming out. I have wiped my black leather down with high grade leather cleaner / oil and you can clearly see it on the rag.
