Brand new ipad... 2 days later, the screen wont lock when closing smartlid

when i got it at first it worked fine. closed the lid and unlock /lock slider always showed up.
I read around other peoples questions and some say its a software issue ? I just want to verifiy that i can't fix this somehow ?
Its the brand new 64gb Ipad with the A6X processor.. retina screen... all those new features. brand new from china. purchased here on store.apple.com so if its a software issue then thats just terrible...
i've gone to settings -> clicked ON for unlock/lock when lid closes
Still it does not want to lock unless you turn it off/on obviously
or if you add a passcode is the only ways to get it to lock now.
I don't want a passcode but rather it auto-lock when smart lid closes like the option says so...i want it to lock so I can just slide it to unlock without passcode.
any help appreciated thanks, Sergio

Try this:
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

Brand New Macbook Pro one of the USB wont recognize device

Hi, I recently acquired a brand new macbook pro i5 core model for school. It was running perfect and I was so happy with my machine the last few days then suddenly last night my mouse didnt work no more. I thought it was strange so I tried the port that was closer to the power adapter and it worked in that slot. I tried plugging it into it several times again and no luck. I tried restarting my computer, no luck. I tried plugging in my Ipod nano, no luck but works in the other one. I went on here and looked for options. So then I tried resetting the Pram, and the smc, several several times, to no avail. I then even got this thing call usb prober and that didnt make it recognize it either. I am at a lost of what to do. The strange thing is though it WILL run my laptop cooler, it just will not recognize any devices?? Any help without having to go to a Genius would be great, thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your USB port may not be delivering the power it should. The best thing to do would make an appointment at the genius bar and have it evaluated. You are under warranty, and this sounds like it may be a hardware problem that Apple needs to fix for you.
Good luck!

Malware on brand new iPad Air

I have a two year old IPad 2. my wife has a brand new iPad Air. In the past five days we have both been infected with malware in the safari browser (and Chrome) which first pops up as ad cash, and then perpetuates to dozens of advertisment pages before freezing. Can anyone please help and advise on how to get rid. We are in Thailand and suspect this might be chinese?

If you think there's some malware on your devices, you have to do a factory reset, as I suggested.
However, there are a couple fo steps you could try to avoid this. Go to Settings, Safari and ensure that Block pop-ups is ON.
Then go to Settings Safari and choose Clear Website Data and History.
I expect Chrome has similar options, but I don't use it so I don't know what they are exactly.
That should give a you a clean start for Safari. If you think the issue results from a specific website, you can visit that site and see hether you get stung again. If so (a) repeate the steps abaove and (b) never go back to that site.
If you get the proble with all websites, then you must to do a factory reset.
The issue on Macs arises when people download (or are tricked into downloading) malware such as MacKeepoer (an espedially notorious example). It is not possible to download and sintall this kind of malware on a non-jailbroken iPad. The *only* ways you can install on an iPad are (a) via the App Store or (b) via a developer profile or (c) via a jailbreak. That being so, the suggestion from otehrs that the porblem arises from a websitre (or maybe a group of websites) is almost certainly correct. The steps I outlined above will allow you to break the connection with those sites. If that doesn't work, factory reset

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? Please help!

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

HT4437 I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by neither iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Any clue? Thanks!

I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

My brand new iPad has flickering lines across the centre of the screen. It has just been taken out of it's box! Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas or simply take back to store?

This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

Help with broken screen on new ipad plee I have brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

I have just dropped my brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

Flat rate $299.
Actually, they won't replace the screen, they'll replace it. The following is a C&P from the link that I gave you.
"If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below."

Brand new out of box IPAd 3 middle of the screen is dead wont respond to touch

setting up my iPad the middle of the screen wont respond havent got past password setup as I made a mistake and the continue button is in the middle of the screen and wont respond
Had the same problem with setting the country up as it was in the middle scrolled it up or down the screen it was selectable but any other country in the middle was also unresponsive
have powered down a few times and still the same lucky we have an Apple store nearby cant do a reset either as I cant get far enough into the setup to get connected to my pc!!

Make sure iPad's battery is charged above 20% (we would recommend at least 50 - 60 %). If you are not sure charge you tablet for at least 40 minutes.
Make sure your Apple tablet is in Power On state.
Watching the shining screen of iconic tablet with apps' icons on it press and hold down the Wake/Sleep and the Home buttons simultaneously, ignore the red slide "to power off", just keep both buttons holding until the Apple logo appears. This logo is the signal that the hard reset has succeeded. Be patient, some times the hard restart of iPad may take up to 10 - 15 minutes. But such a long restart is a rare case.

Can I trade in a Brand New iPad 2 for the New iPad?

I have had the iPad 2 since late July 2011 in Australia. Since then it has had some problems, one major one recently was the screen near the Home Button starting to peel off.
I took it in to the apple shop and the next day i picked but a brand new iPad 2, and have restored all my old stuff on it.. and now i am wondering if i can swap this for the new iPad?
Thanks

Apple don't do trade-ins - all they do is allow returns if you bought it from them within the past 14 days. If you want the new model then will probably get more for your current one by selling it privately and then buying the new one, and not looking for a store that does trade-ins.

What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Best,
Nubz

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet nev    er works and it is always loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

Brand new ipad... 2 days later, the screen wont lock when closing smartlid
