Does iPad3 have a magnetic on/off switch?

I have a Targus cover with magnetic on/off but won't work with iPad 3. It will work with iPad 2.  Noticed iPad 3 doesn't have magnetic switch option in setting like iPad 2.  What am I missing here?

Thank you for advice. I attached an official Apple Smart Cover and heard the click and the option appeared in the Settings...General dropdown menu as predicted.
Then I went back to Best Buy and trialled 5 consecutive Targus Versavu cases and the 6th was sucessful. This 3rd party cover/case must have issues related to magnet position or polarity. 
Obviously, this is not an item you would want to order online ..........unless, of course, you like ordering, returning, ordering, returning, etc. The case I bought was "supposed" to work work, too.........but the magnet is in the wrong place. I kept it, since I like it and just decided to forego the awake/sleep function. I just do it manually.

  • HT1689 my iPhone 5 won't pick up wifi in my home, only in places other than my home. does something have to be shut off, such as iCloud?

    I can't get my iphone to pick up wifi in my own home. I get it anywhere else I go, such as stores, coffee shops, etc. My friend gets it on his iphone and my wife gets it on her LG Lucid while in my home. Does it have something to do with icloud? does something need to be turned on or off on my imac?

    Power cycle the router.
    Check for firmware updates for the router.
    Restore the device as new to rule out an issue with user settings, it can always be restored from backup later if this does not resolve the issue.

  • Can a macbook screen be replaced within an Apple store? Or does it have to be shipped off site?

    I stepped on the actual macbook (the room was dark and I wasn't paying attention) and while the LCD screen is intact, it's clearly damanged (areas of black on the LCD).  The warranty expired on the macbook, but I don't care about cost.  I just want to know if the screen can be replaced within the store or if it'll have to be sent off site and how long that will take.

    Here's a place on eBay that will replace the screen for $125 plus $20 shipping.

  • My iPad air does not have an lock on/off toggle for the smart cover ipad cases.

    Last week I received my new at&t 64gb iPad air. (This is my 3rd iPad. 2nd that, I assume, can use a smart cover style ipad case.) Although I have not purchased a new cover for it yet. I could not help but notice that in the Settings/general there is no "Lock" on/off toggle for the magnetic cover as ther is on my iPad3. does  anyone know if there is supposed to be one on the ipad air or did apple do away with the toggle altogether?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Settings > General > Lock/Unlock shoud still appear.
    You must be running iOS 7 (which you presumably are doing on an iPad Air).  And you should be using a Smart Cover or Smart Case made by Apple.  Third party covers/cases may well not function.

  • Having trouble with my trackpad does it have to be sent off for repair

    Having trouble with my trackpad,it freezes up computer whenever I touch it. Now I'm using a wireless mouse to operarte. Does this sound like something I will have to send off to be repaired?

    Hey Betty2241,
    Thanks for the question. Let's try a few things first:

  • Does Verizon have discounts for those who Switch from At&t?

    My husband and I currently have AT&T and terrible service inside our home.  We currently have iPhone 3gs' and want to get iPhone 5's.  We only use cells, so we need a reliable network for our phones.  I know Sprint offers discounts to people who "Switch to Sprint" and was wondering if Verizon did the same.  We are almost out of contract with AT&T and would like to switch to Verizon since we've heard it has better coverage in our particular part of Las Vegas.  In our current plan with AT&T, I have unlimited data and would have to give that up to switch.  Also, I think we'd be paying about $10 more a month each with Verizon if we got iPhone 5's.  I'm wondering if Verizon may also give discounts to people who are credit union members or Costco members or AAA Club members.  I'm looking for a reason to switch now.  Does anyone know if Verizon offers discounts like these?  I can't seem to find a customer service email to ask since I'm not yet a customer.  Thanks!

    I don't think Verizon gives discount to switch. As far as your discount you get now you'd have to check with those companies themselves to see if they offer discounts with Verizon.
    No unlimited data with Verizon.
    You bill would be easy to figure out. 2 Iphone 5s would be $40 each "line access" or $80. Plus whatever "data" plan you chose. "Data" actually includes the unlimited minutes and unlimited texting.
    1 GB $50
    2 GB $60
    4 GB $70
    6 GB $80
    8 GB $90
    10 GB $100
    Data is of course shared. You can actually get up to 20 GB a month if you need it. Just add $10 per 2 GB.
    Then there is taxes and fees. For 2 phones should be around $15 or so.
    Any discounts you do get come from the "data" part.

  • Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

    I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue.  The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works.  The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating.  I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
    I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue.  The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
    Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
    Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    @diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
    Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
    Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
    Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option.  I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures.  Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
    I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

  • Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

    Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
    also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
    thanks!

    you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
    BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
    plus:
    the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
    plus:
    you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

    It's all or nothing. You can to selectively get notifications for one account and not the others. As for g-mail, how do you have it set up? If it's not set to poll automatically, or set up as push (as an Exchange account), then you won't be notified until you maually open the mail client and pull it down.

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

  • Does iPhone have a quick easy way to switch sounds settings like Blackberry?

    One thing I love about Blackberry is that you can designate a whole bunch of different configurations for your sound/alert settings, and you can very easily switch from one to another right on the homescreen.  I find this very necessary since I like to have most sounds on much of the time, but want to easily switch to only vibration or only LED alerts or even no alert when I am in certain quiet places or at work.
    Another very important use of this feature for me is that when I go to bed I can easily switch to a setting where all alerts are turned off, but the alarm will still function and wake me up in the morning.
    Does iPhone have any features that can make it work in a similar way to this?  Especially turning off alerts while keeping the alarm functioning?  It seems all smartphones should have an easy and quickly accessable way of switching between sound/alert configurations.

    Well that's just one of the least helpful
    So, simply stating "no" would have been more "helpful"?  Maybe you're one of those who only want to see the answers that you want, rather than the truth.
    The iPhone is what it is, and has its own set of features, of which you appear to have no clue.  At least i linked you the User Guide so you could  educate  yourself.  Did you really think iPhones have a secret BB emulation mode?

  • How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model  Actiontec 424wi F series.  Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

    How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F.  Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC?  Will FIOS tv be effected?

    Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
    If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
    If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
    Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
    Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.
