Can iPad Air sleep when cover closed be disabled?

An advertised feature of the function of the iPad Air is to automatically enter sleep when the Smart Cover is closed. My wife tends to start listening to a YouTube movie in bed and then closes the cover of her original iPad so that the display goes out and continues to listen to the audio. I'm considering getting her a new iPad Air, but wonder if the auto-sleep feature will interfere with how she is used to doing things. Can the auto-sleep feature be disabled? Can it be made to only affect the display and still allow audio streaming to continue? Apologies if I am just behind the times -- we currently have no iOS7-capable devices.

The Auto Lock can be turned off, but it will not put the screen to sleep. You can cover the iPad and the video will continue to play, but the screen will not turn black and go into sleep mode. You will simply be covering the screen.
When you put the iPad to sleep, YouTube Videos will quit playing. You can no longer play YouTube Videos in the background in iOS 7.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

I don't know if you can prevent it at all. The same ting happens to me in other apps - not just web browsers. I realize that since it's a web browser, there might be something that you don't want someone else to see if they use your iPad, so If it bothers you that much, close Chrome when you are done with it.
Double tap the home button to bring put the multitasking display. Find the Chrome app preview window and drag it up off the screen to close it.

I have a new IPad Air and when you turn the screen it doesn't rotate anymore

First thing to check is to see if there is a circular arrow around a small lock at the top right of your screen next to the battery indicator. If there is Rotation Lock is turned on. You can turn it off in the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and find that icon in the panel that comes up. Tap on that icon to turn off Rotation Lock.
If Rotation Lock is not on try a reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

YYou can connect with the cables listed above or with an Apple TV device. Keep in mind that and ipad is what it is and was made to be used as it is. I can tell you first hand that what you are trying to do will likely not be of assistance since the ipad is still required as the user interface. Connecting to a larger display maybe fine for watching movies if that's what you have in mind but for overall use the ipad will still have to be used and thus looked at to type and touch. Even with a bt keyboard there are still to many limitations That only a mouse can solve along with a keyboard and display.
All said, you may be better off looking into, and perhaps using along with the bigger screen, some of the features that can be found in (general-text size) and (general accessibility) settings. Other then that, if you are not mindset on the ipad experience, there are other products on the market that are better suited and more affordable. I have provided care for my mother in law from here 80's to mid 90's. Been there, done that.

MB pro not sleeping when lid closed

Hi, I came to work today, opened my backpack and found my laptop extremely hot in its sleeve. It appears it had not gone to sleep when I closed the lid. It then failed to run properly for about 20 minutes until it cooled down. Now it is ok, except that it will not run in lid-closed mode. I plug in my external display, put it to sleep, and wake it back up with the lid closed in order to use the external display. The display fires up for a few seconds and then turns off again. I've tried this over and over again, the computer simply won't stay on for more than a few seconds. However, when the lid is opened, it will run the external display in mirrored mode just fine. I think something is toast. Coincidentally, I had just downloaded the keyboard update 1.0 a day earlier... Anybody know why my computer is not sleeping when I close the lid and why it won't work in closed-lid mode anymore?

I've had a similar problem since I first got this a year ago. Sometimes when I shut the lid, the display does not go to sleep, and sometimes it restarts automatically when I shut the lid! I've also found it very hot at times when it should have been sleeping. So far, it's only been a minor annoyance.

My iPad air camera when I try to take a photo it's not clear?

My iPad air camera when I try to take a photo it's not clear?

That's really not uncommon. The camera on the iPad is primarily designed for FaceTime. You need really good lighting in order to get clear photos on the iPad. Experiment with better lighting and see how your photos come out.

I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
