Fix for iPad going to sleep?

We're using our iPad in conjunction with AppleTV and we're having an issue with the iPad going into sleep mode in the middle of presentations. I see where the autolock can be set for as high as 15 minutes, wasn't there once a "never" option? We are running 5.0.1 at this time. If not in settings, is there an app or any other fix that anyone knows about that will give me a "never" type option for the device not to go into sleep mode? Thanks.

  Be thankful they at least let you have the 15 minute timeout!  My past employer not only enforced the long passcode format, but they only allowed the 1 minute timeout feature - and there was no chance of getting any of their security settings changed (IT was very strict about that).
Also, for those deleting the account, changing things, and re-installing the account - odds are it will revert sometime, as the server is often setup to periodically push out the security certificate and overright the old one.

  • My IPad goes to sleep too soon.  Is this adjustable?

    How do I adjust time before my IPad goes to sleep while I'm using it?

    Settings - General - Auto-lock - Change the duration.  2, 5, 10, 15minutes or never.

  • Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

    Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1?  I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response.  These problems have been occurring since the last update.  At times the iPad becomes unusable.  I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi, dannilee,
    I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
    To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
    1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
    2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
    3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
    Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
    Hope it is useful for you.

  • Any fix for a macbook not sleeping/shutting down?

    I have an early 2009 macbook running OSX 10.8.  If I close the lid or manually select sleep/shutdown it works fine, BUT whenever I plug in my iphone to sync or charge, the macbook does not respond to a sleep/shutdown command (whether manual or by closing the lid).  I cannot be the only person this is happening to.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Why do I drop my personal hotspot from my iphone to ipad whenever my ipad goes to sleep?

    OK, so I have the new ipad wifi only. Whenever there isn't a wifi signal around, I turn on my Personal hotspot from my iphone and sync internet via Bluetooth. First, the process to recognize pairing always seems to be sporadic. It takes a long time for my ipad to see my iphone's attempt to establish pairing. Most of the time I have to turn both Bluetooth's settings off and then on to establish pairing. Then, once I do gain a connection, if my ipad goes into Auto-Lock after 2 minutes of inactivity, my pairing is lost and I have to start the proess all over again. It's very annoying. Any suggestions would be great appreciated.

  • I bought a movie three days ago.  It begins to download from the cloud, then my iPad goes to sleep and when I open it again, it starts downloading from the BEGINNING.  How do I get the WHOLE MOVIE to download?  I have re-booted but that didn't help.

    I can't seem to figure out how to download a movie.  It begins to download (and yes, I've checked my download speed and my bandwidth and both should, in theory, be adequate to download a movie!) but then the iPad will go to sleep and when I get back to it, it shows that I have bought the movie but nothing is downloaded.  And when I try to download the next time, nothing is saved and it starts again from the beginning of the download.
    I sat down by my iPad while I was working and every few minutes I would swipe to turn it on and it got over half of the movie downloaded.  But then I had to go to leave and now it shows nothing is downloaded.
    I can see having it take a few hours to download IF one was able to just start the download and walk away and come back later to watch the movie.  But to have to repeatedly begin from the start of the download is incredibly frustrating.  I would want my money refunded to my iTunes account at this point, if I was able to do that.  It's just not worth the hassle.
    Suggestions?  How does one download a movie from iTunes?  It should not have to be this hard!!

    See if you can redownload it.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you can then delete from your iPod if you can and redownload.
    If you can't delete from iPod, go to to iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads on your computer ,  amd dpwnload and sync

  • A fix for iPad: Could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

    While trying to sync my iPad I started getting the following error from iTunes:
    •          iTunes could not backup iPad because a session could not be started with the iPad
    I've tried the following:
    •          Running the Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility
    •          Delete existing backup through iTunes and making sure to delete the backups folder: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    •          Rebooting the Mac and the iPad
    No fix. Any solutions ?

    Hello stamatgeorge,
    Thank you for the details you provided regarding the syncing issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  I found an article that has steps to take for the specific error you are seeing, "iTunes could not back up the iPad because a session could not be started."

  • Global navigation fix for iPad is effecting other links on the site

    Hi,
    We have a deployed a fix to make our global navigation work properly in iPad as per the below link
    http://tommdaly.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/ootb-navigation-fix-to-support-ipad-i-devices/
    This link gives us below code.
    $(document).ready(function(){
    if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i))) {
    $(".s4-tn .menu-horizontal ul.root li.dynamic-children a.dynamic-children").bind('touchstart',function(e){
    var position = $(this).next().position();
    if(eval(position.left < -1)) {
    $(this).click(function(c){
    c.preventDefault();
    else {
    var location = $(this).attr("href");
    window.location = location;
    This will allow you to touch once to open a menu item that has children. Touching that menu item again would navigate to that node.
    However, the above code does the solution for all the links in the Site. For all the other links in the Site, we have to click twice to navigate to the URL.
    We do not want that. The fix should work only for global navigation links. For all other links, the redirection should happen on the first click itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Using the IE Developer Toolbar, check the DOM structure of the top navigation global navigation links and make sure that only the immediate children is selected.

  • When is a fix for WiFi going to be available for Mac using Yosemite

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I have had a WiFi issue I also have upgrade 10.10.2. The WiFi continually drops and makes browsing a non-starter. I have blamed my ISP provider but all fault checking comes back to my Mac. iPad and Phones are all fine using WiFi just the Mac thats useless. Was perfect with Mavericks.

    All we (as fellow users) can say is that Apple is aware of the problem and actively working on it. There have been many bug reports sent in and they were acknowledged. Sometimes it helps to reset things - sign out/delete your wireless network and add it again. That helped me fix it temporarily.

  • My ipad goes on sleeping mood,and no just blank screen appears

    while installing icloud ,my ipad 2 stopped working,
    screen is blank and looks work in progress for more than 2 hours,
    i tried to shut it down,but no responce,neither getting shut down,nor working

    perhaps you have to restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Lock button and the Home button  for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Lock button until the Apple logo appears. 
    good luck !

  • When is the 'Adobe Content Viewer app' for iPad going to be updated?

    I really need this app to view my content and to meet my deadlines! Adobe have told me it's Apple that is holding the approval up?

    Sorry, no idea. We're all just fellow users here and have no insight into the processes within the iTunes Store, and you'll never get a response from Apple in these forums.
    Speaking strictly for me (I'm the only one I can speak for), I'm not sure how Bob Levine would know that Apple is sitting on an update unless he works for Adobe (as he may, though I would think his profile there would say so). But his statement that the version of Adobe Content Viewer is the "original version" is incorrect, if that's what he really meant to say. The version in the iTunes Store is by no means the original, it's up to 1.7.0, and was last updated on May 16th of this year. There may indeed be a new version awaiting approval, though; I have no way of knowing. If there is, though, it would not seem that Apple has been sitting on it for all that long.
    Regards.
