Getting the ipad to stay in standby/sleep mode

I use my Ipad as an alarm clock when I am on the road.  I put it in standby mode but it keeps coming out which is annoying when you are trying to sleep.  How do I get it to stay in sleep mode but still wake me up?

Dedington-
If you double click the Home button, a list of recent Apps shows up across the bottom of the screen.  If you press and hold on one, they start to wiggle and a red minus sign appears on each.  Tap the minus sign of all Apps other than the one for your alarm clock.  That removes them from the list, and stops any that might be running in the background.

  • I am a new owner of an Ipad 2.  Where do I find an instruction manual.  How do I get the Ipad to stay on - it goes blank after a few minutes.

    I have just purchased an Ipad 2 but cannot seem to find a useful manual.  Also, it shuts down after a few minutes - is there some setting to keep it open.

    You can download a copy of the manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/ - there should also be a shortcut for it in Safari.
    And by turning off, do you mean that it goes into sleep mode and you have to press a button ? If so, then you can extend the time via Settings > General > Auto-Lock

  • Is it possible to get the decline and answer buttons from sleep mode?

    The way my iphone operates now, when a call comes in and the phone is in sleep/locked mode, the only option is to slide the lock to answer the call. When a call comes in and the phone is not locked, it gives the option to decline the call with a red button and answer the call with a green button. My question is this: Is it possible to set the phone so it gives the decline/answer option coming straight out of sleep/locked mode?

    Nope. But single clicking the Sleep/Wake button will silence the ring, and double-clicking the Sleep/Wake button will send the call to voicemail, having the same effect as "Decline."

  • Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
    * Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
    * After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
    * The case is VERY hot.
    * When I open the lid, the display stays black.
    * No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
    * Only way to recover is to power cycle.
    * Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
    Actions:
    * AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
    * I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
    * AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
    I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
    Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

    cktan124:   I searched around and found the iPad does not have a PRAM.
    Anyone else want to guess?
    I found many folks here trying to hide of the clock, but I need the clock.  I use a PDF on my iPad for my notes when I am speaking in front of an audience.  I need the clock so I can kep track of time.

  • How do i get my ipad to stay on to take a long video with the camera?

    I would like to record about an hours worth of footage with my ipad.  Everytime I try, it shuts off about 5 minutes in.  What do I need to change to allow the recording to continue?   Thanks!

    Settings>General>Auto Lock>Never.
    The iPad will not go to sleep at all, but don't forget to set it back to 5 minutes or whatever time you want to use in the settings so that you don't burn through your battery any faster than needed.

  • Why can't I get my iPad to stay connected to my printer?

    I am having trouble getting my iPad to stay connected to my printer. I have set up the printer numerous times, but every time I try getting it to print a second time after it prints once,my iPad sends the message that it can't find an Air-printer. I contacted the retailer where I purchased it and he told me to do a reset by pushing the Home button and Sleep button at the same time. That seemed to fix it, but when I tried printing something the next day, it was back to the same problem and got the message about not finding an Air-printer. Can someone please advise me as to what I can do to overcome this problem?

    I like to watch tvcatchup or sky go or I player on my iPad while falling asleep, the problem is that the iPad then stays on all night. I would like to find an app that allows me to set a timer for the iPad to switch itself off automatically, like the sleeper function on a TV.

    how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

    Hi,
    Because the iPad requires more power than from a normal USB port can supply therefore you can not charge an iPad using ONE USB port on a laptop/PC.  Please try this free utility, many HP users say it works:

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
