How to turn off screen without passcode lock.

I just upgraded my wife's iPad 2 from ios 6 to 7.  It used to be when you closed the ipad cover, it would turn off the screen right away.  I would still like it to turn off the screen right away when the cover is closed (so as not to waste batteries) yet NOT require a passcode when opened again (just a slide of the arrow like it used to be).  But right now, if I turn off the lock/unlock feature, and close the lid, the screen will remain full-on until the the auto-lock timer goes into effect - which will be never if I set it to "never".
I don't want to argue about the merits of having a passcode, I concede all your points, so there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am for not wanting to use one - but I would like to be able to have the screen go off without requiring a passcode to turn it back on.  Is this now impossible?  At the least, it should turn off the screen immediately when the cover is closed, and wait to put it in passcode lock mode until the auto-lock timer expires.
Is there any way to do this or is this just a case of Apple imposing this security feature our own good? Thanks.

Wow.  That was a super-fast answer.  Thanks.  I had seen that optoin and foolishly hadn't tried it because I thought typing my passcode there was just another way to put it into passcode lockdown "immediately".  Well, I said I was stupid. Thanks, it does now work the way it used to and I can still have it require the passcode after a certain timeout period.

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • How to turn off screen rotation on itouch 5

    I just upgraded to a 32 bit iTouch 5 and was wanting to know how to turn off the screen rotation when I'm playing music. I have the shake to shuffle off (great feature!) but would like to turn off the screen rotation. I just find that to be annoying (to me anyway)...how do I do this on the 5?

    Pull up the Control Center and lock the screen rotation. Tap the arrowed-circled padlock on the right side to toggle
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

    I have an iPhone 5S.  I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes.  I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone.  As such, I press the sleep button at the top.  No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked.  I find this *very* annoying.  Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting.  Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
    Thank you,
    Stuart

    "Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
    Best of luck.

  • Stream 7 Can't Turn off screen without putting tablet into sleep mode

    Is there a way to switch the screen off without the tablet going into sleep mode?
    So that I can play music in the background?

    Hey @Crixxtachi ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing issues playing background music while the screen is off.
    The tablet will work just like a laptop or desktop and we need to look at some Windows settings for this. 
    The simplest solution is to access your power management settings, and set the display to go to sleep but not the computer, or at least increase the time before the PC actually enters sleep mode.
    I havn't had a chance to test a Windows tablet yet but I would assume that in the power management settings you should see something on the left hand side that says "Change what pressing the power buttons do." In here you may be able to set it to turn off the display.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Turn off screen without locking

    I just want the Ipod screen to go black automatically after some time, but I dont want it to lock at the same time. So to wake it up, I just want to touch the screen and not have to unslide the lock. Is there any setting to make this happen?

    Well, this is getting interesting. The previous 2 responses describe different behavior for doing the same thing. While listening to music, and then the ipod auto locks, then double clicking home you get:
    - the unlock bar at the bottom, but above, also music controls, that you can use, or
    - some other controls that are somewhat transparent, hovering over the wallpaper, that you can use.
    Well, I don't get either of those two! How can it be that 2 people are getting these different results, but i dont see either one?

  • How to turn off "screen resolution" warning in iPhoto?

    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running. I have set the resolution to my preference and I don't mind seeing this warning once when I start iPhoto, but it gets annoying. How can I set iPhoto to stop doing this?

    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running.
    Is there a reason, why you do not update to the Yosemite compatible version iPhoto 9.6? I never get the warning, you are reporting, if the iPhoto window can fit the screen, with MacOS X 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • How to turn off screen redraw while running scripts?

    I am sure this would be the number one question on the FAQ for Photoshop scripting, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.  I know it may be possible because this is something you can do in InDesign.  Any ideas?  Obviously I want to make Photoshop process the files faster.

    If it’s just about your machine setting the Playback Options in the Actions Panel to Accelerated might suffice.
    Moreover xbytor’s stdlib contains code to include this in a Script.

  • Turn off email preview on lock screen not working

    In Settings > Notifications > Mail I have Show on Lock Screen OFF and Show Previews OFF for all of my email accounts. Yet I'm still getting email notifications WITH previews of the email content on my Lock Screen in iOS 8.1.3. I tried turning the switch on and off and restarting my iPad Air 2 without affecting this issue.
    I could turn Push off and go Manual, but I'd like to have Push on and be notified that an email has come in just without the Preview showing on my Lock Screen.
