App Stops when Smart Cover is Closed ?!

I have a couple of apps I'd like to use to control the streaming of music from a DLNA NAS to an Airplay speaker.
The two apps work fine but music stops as soon as I close the Smart Cover (with both apps).
I don't need nor do I want to have my iPad's screen on all the time.
Is this a case of bad apps or is there a setting I should know about?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply OrangeMarlin.
It is true that Apple's own Music app works fine with the cover closed as well as a couple others I have used.
However, Good Player and media:connect which are ones of the few that I found that can play "playlists" from my DLNA NAS do not work with the cover closed.
I have contacted both developers and have received no answer yet.

Why don't I get reminders/calendar events when Smart Cover closed on ipad3?

I don't quite know why. But when my Smart Cover is on my ipad 3, reminders and calendar events don't make any noise till I open the cover,then I have about 20 items all at once making noise. Is there a way the ipad can make noise when the cover is closed to remind me of events etc?

Hi,
Based on my research, “\Device\Harddisks” means Disk 2 in Disk Management.
However, it seems that he numbers after DR are just unique random numbers. "DR" is being incremented as you insert new drives (e.g. USB). In these scenario,
it is hard to find the \Device\Harddisk2\DR72.
Did you mean that you have 40TB for disk 2? If yes, it would take a long time to do the scan. However, this may be the unique way to make sure the “\Device\Harddisk2\DR72” can
be scanned.
Best regards,
Susie

Preventing MacBook Pro from sleepting when the cover is closed

I'd like to prevent the system from sleeping when the cover is closed, at least when it is on the power supply.
Right now, it sleeps whenever the cover is closed. As a result, my nightly backup (ordinarily scheduled for the wee hours) doesn't run.
Also, I want to use the laptop at home with an external screen, keyboard and mouse, and it would be convenient to fold it up to get it out of the way when doing so.
Thanks,

' Overheating in clamshell mode is rearely an issue if you're running on the 9400M and the system- / resource-demands aren't particularly hectic. It is something one should always just keep an eye on though anyways - just to be safe, no?
' Otherwise - there is a pay-for (shareware) program you can download and install that will give you the facility you're looking for... I'm afraid I can't remember it's name right now though... Alternatively - and the solution I myself use - try downloading and using a mini-app called "InsomniaX" - for which I can't provide a link I'm afraid, but a Net-search will quickly turn up! It's freeware (donations possible but not required) and works great - a number of options available to tune it somewhat to your needs!

My iPad will not sleep when the cover is closed. Thus, the battery runs down quickly.

Check that Settings > General > Lock / Unlock is turned ON

The iPad shuts down when the cover is closed so I can't get mail message or Skype alerts?

Didnt do it at first but now when the ipad cover is closed it wont alert me to mail or massages etc.
Done everything I can think of but to no avail.
Perhaps I have changed a setting without realising it...
Can any one help with that one?

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

ICal alerts don't work with smart cover closed?

Is this by design? If I have an event set for an alarm in ical, then i have my smart cover closed to cover the iPad...the alarm won't go off until I lift the smart cover. It could be an hour or so past the event, but I won't know that until I open the cover. This basically eliminates the use of using iCal alert system.
Am I missing something? Would love for the alarm to go off to remind me of meetings etc regardless if the smart cover is closed or not.
Thanks for any advice.

Alarms beep on my iPad 2 with the cover closed. You must not have it set up correctly. Is Calendar included in your Notification Center alerts? Mine is set for Alerts, Badge App Icon ON, and View in Lock Screen ON.

Face time will ring when cover is closed

Face time will not ring on the iPad when the cover is closed.
There is no notification of a missed call.
Face time works normally when the cover is open.

The reed switch is the likely culprit. It's in the right side of the display bezel, and is activated by a magnet in the right lower edge of the iBook. Unless you are rolling in dough, it's likely not to be worth the cost of repair. Probably money would be better spent toward a new MacBook if you can't tolerate the situation as it now exists.
Sometimes the reed switch sticks in the off position. At least, you can consider yourself lucky that the one in your iBook has stuck in the on position, so it's on all the time instead of off.
You can set the Energy Saver preferences to have it sleep quickly or simply remember to put it to sleep manually before closing the iBook if you decide to live with it, as-is.

Smart cover affecting screen sensitivity?

I recently purchased my iPad 2 and within 5 days of using it with my smart cover, I have had problems with the screen. It is not responsive or frozen for a few seconds then goes haywire. It even opened up my settings and changed those then began writing an e-mail without me touching the screen. I had to lock the iPad for it to stop bugging out. Has this happened to anyone else? I will be taking it to the store but I haven't had a chance yet. For now, I am using it without the smart cover with no problems.

Yes. You overwhelmed the sensors on the right side of the iPad 2 which determine when the Smart Cover is closed and they obediently locked the screen. Nothing to worry about.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro - Lenovo Smart Cover

Does anyone of you have the original lenovo cover for Z2 Pro? Is it true that the phone automatically recognizes that the cover is closed and swithces to clock mode for the little window? If I pull the phone from my pocket to look at the time, the phone screen would be likely switched off. If I press the power button, will it turn on the entire screen or the only the clock in the little window? That would be kind of defiting the purpose of the little window, if you know what I mean. I saw in the previous version of the cover that you could swip on the cover to receive calls, now with thes new Z2 Pro cover you need to physically open the cover to pick up the call? Thanks.

Hi Pat,
Sorry - I misunderstood your first post. Of course, when the cover is closed it is useful that pressing the power button switches on clock mode. However, it might also be nice to have the option that opening the cover (when not in clock mode but asleep) switches the phone straight to homescreen, so you don't have to press the power button.
Maybe the reason you can't (as far as I know) do this is that the cover doesn't appear to work by some magnetic mechanism so can actually fall open quite easily when it's out of your pocket. I also imagine it might drain the battery.
What's also a bit strange is that when I switch lockscreen in settings to 'none', then without the cover that is what I get: no lockscreen - pressing the power button goes straight to homescreen. However, with the cover, if the screen is off and you open the cover and then press the power button, you still get a lockscreen and therefore have to swipe to get to homescreen. Therefore, in general it is better to wake up the phone with the power button BEFORE you open the cover.
The cover is very thin; the outside is made of some kind of very matte faux-leather plastic that has a rather papery feel. The inside is made of a textured rubber. The quality is reasonably good.
1. The window is made of transparent plastic (which attracts finger prints).
2. The camera window is simply a hole and the the cover more than raises it past the protruding camera (which is a good thing).
Overall, the cover takes the phone from 7.7mm to almost 12mm, which is acceptable.
I bought it on alza. lenovoonline.sk has it, but for a similar price. I'm sure you can get something similar considerably cheaper on aliexpress or amazon, but I couldn't guarantee quality, functionality, delivery times and costs, etc.

Beaton

Has anyone seen their iPads using your wifi non-stop, even if you are not using it, even when it's closed with the smart cover?

Lately my internet usage is up to the roof. I though somebody was hacking my wireless router so I made it super safe with lots of restrictions.
But that didn't stop the download of stuff over my wireless network. When I monitor who or what is using my wirelss, only my iPad was on, so, the moment I turn the wifi off on my ipad, the download stop. Turn it back on, it goes like crazy sucking up data off my wireless router for no reason. There is no indicator that the iPad is using the wireless yet, it is my iPad downloading things that I can't even seen, it does even with smart cover on!!!!. It's been over 50GB in only three days. I don't even have that amount of data on iCloud. This began a few days later after I upgraded my iOS to 6. But also, I'm thinking it could be an app that I installed. Or is it possible someone can use my iPad as a middle point to access my router and steal my internet. I have restored the OS on the iPad and it keeps doing it. Anyone has experienced something similar?

I'm going to guess that your battery life is also not so hot. What I suspect is happening is thatbthe pad is locked into an update loop with I cloud. As an example, if you have addresses that do not agree, the cloud back up will continue to try and correct itself, using both battery and wifi ( or cell). It may also be an app trying to uzpdate itself.
To troubleshot, try turning thigs off. If you are using the cloud, turn off all syncing and see it the problem stops. Then turn them back on, one by one, until you find the culprit. If it is an app, it may be harder to find, but the steps are the same. Turn off all notifications, and uninstall anything you added around the time the problem started.
A frequent culprit is magazine, comic, and newspaper subscriptions, that are constantly trying to update themselves.
Keep looking, you will find it.

Why has my ipad2 stopped clicking when i close the smart cover?

Why has my ipad2 stopped clicking when I close the smart cover?

I forgot that I had slid the slide switch to the off position for notifications and alerts. Problem solved.

TS2634 iPad Smart Cover sleep mode isn't functioning when top lid is closed, iPad still on.

Smart Cover isn't functioning correctly. When lid is in place I can still see my iPad on with screen light. No click sound after lid is place also. I have remove the Smart Cover and fitted it to my iPad but still Smart Cover sleep mode is not working.

Go to Settings>General and make sure the switch to iPad Smart Cover On/Off is set to On.

TS2634 Why would my ipad Smart Cover suddenly stop charging?

HHI my ipad Smart Cover suddenly has stopped charging when I close it. Can anyone give me a reason it might do that?

Gotcha...figured it was worth mentioning.
What I would do next (provided you've exhausted everything else) would be to backup the device using iTunes...backup your media as well. Then restore the device as new, not using any backup. After the initial setup, don't install any apps or media. Test for the issue. If the issue is present after restoring as new, that a good indication that there's a hardware issue. If the issue is not present after restoring as new, the issue a likely a botched/borked setting somewhere in the backup of the iPad. In this case (and assuming you want to clear the issue), you'll have to rebuild your device (apps media, settings, everything) from the restored as new state. This won't be pleasant or enjoyable but it may need to be done if you want to clear the issue. I had to do this recently to clear a different issue and I know it's not easy, especially all of the settings involved. I may have it a bit easier than most since I keep my iPads pretty empty...my 16 GB devices have more than 8 GB free on average (3 - 4 GB used).

When the smart cover turns of the iPad does it turn off the wifi turn off too?

Am I running down the battery if I don't turn off wifi before I close the smart cover?

Jfd-
Closing the smart cover only puts the iPad to sleep. As far as I know, it puts WiFi to sleep as well.
There are some Apps such as the Music App, that may continue to play after the iPad goes to sleep. If you really want to turn off the iPad, hold down the Sleep button for a few seconds until the "Slide to power off" arrow appears. When the iPad is turned off this way, you turn it back on by holding the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
