Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because your iPad turns on to get the battery charged. You don't have to turn it off to charge it

Need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each time I want to connect my PC under vista

Hello
need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each timeI I want to connect my PC under vista.
After that, everything is going well...
But it is not the best user experience ;-)
Any idea if this can be fixed ?
My PC is under Vista...
Thanks a lot

I'm having the same problem. It seems to have started after the most recent firmware upgrade. Does anybody know if Apple is looking into this? It's rather irritating to have to reboot the Apple Tv every time I want to use it!

You can turn Find My iPad 'off' by going to http://icloud.com and logging into your account, select the iPad from the device list in the 'Find My iPhone' section on that site, and 'remove from account'

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.

From a new ipad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the ipad?

From a new iPad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the iPad?

If you're listening to radio from the app, you need to go to that App (press Home button twice for multitasing menu and tap on its icon), and stop it there. If there is no such feature - you can "kill" the app, open multitasking menu again, hold one of the icons for couple of seconds, and click "X" symbol next to the radio app.
If the radio streams in Safari (web browser), you can simply stop it by closing the tab - tap little "X" next to the tab where the radio is playing.
Hope this helps

If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.

Hello I have upgraded my iPad again. It seems that something gets upset each time. This time my mailbox has become unstable. It does not receive or send mail. I know my wifi is fine because my laptop is fine. I have switched off the iPad again and again.

Not sure you got my earlier message so I am posing my question again.
Having upgraded my iPad to the more recent OSsomething, my mailbox no longer receives or sends emails.
My wifi is fine, checked with my laptop which works fine. I have switched off the iPad many times but the problem remains. Can anyone help?

First thing to try is to 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.
That's not the same as turning it off or on.
Another things to try is to reset your settings. Use the Settings app for this.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If the problem persists after the reset check your email accounts on the iPad. You could delete them and add them back. This is also done in the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar

How to prevent someone to switch off my iPad?

Is there anyway to lock my iPad so that if my iPad is stolen, the thief will unable to switch off my iPad?

With the passcode lock enable the iPad still be able to turn off. Can apple add a new feature so that there is a way to prevent iPad from power off? Without this feature, the find my iPhone's app is useless as someone took the iPad can immediately power off the iPad.

I cannot unlock or switch off my iPad, the slider doesn't function. Solutions?

The slider doesn't function, therfore i cannot unlock or switch off my iPad has anyone a solution?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone

Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed. I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup. Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode. I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it. I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.

The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Tecra R950-15E - Need WiFi switched off by deafult

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and would like to ask a question whose answer
I was unable to find both on the web and here in the forum (at least with my keywords; please direct me if missed it).
For some time I own a Tecra R950-15E running Win7 Pro 64bit and am quite satisfied with it.
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the WiFi mode.
I know that by pressing "FN+F8" I can switch the wireless modes (WiFi and 3G) on and off.
It seems that by default the wireless modes are switched on after starting the system.
I'd like to have it all switched off by deafult (mainly for saving battery) and only switching it on manually when I really need it.
By now I have to do it the other way round by switching it off manually after starting the system and I haven't found a setting to change it to my preference.
Does anyone have an idea to fix that?
Thanks
tecra14

Unfortunately that did not help. I de-installed all wireless software and drivers and then rebooted. First the system installed drivers automatically from the net, then I installed/updated with the latest drivers and software from the Toshiba site. It is to no avail.
Interestingly, after "only" rebooting (immediate re-start) it memorizes the setting, but after switching it off for the night, the next morning the memory is gone and the WiFi is again switched on by default regardless of former settings. I also tried the administrative tool with WiFi switched off by default there, but that doesn't help either.
Thanks

Need to switch off Mac during TM backup

What would happen if TM was in the middle of a backup but I had to switch off my Mac (for whatever reason)?
Would anything get seriously messed up anywhere or is TM so clever that it'd just pick up where it left off next time I switched the Mac back on?
P.S. Am a PC convert and VERY new to Macs. The forums and help offered on this site is unparalled. Thank you.

fizzyfizz,
Automatic Stop and Resume
Never skip a beat. If your Time Machine backup is interrupted — because you took your portable on the road or put your Mac to sleep — Time Machine will simply stop backing up. When you reconnect to your backup drive again, Time Machine automatically picks up where it left off.

Ipad1 losing wifi connection. Need to switch off/on the wifi in settings to reconnect

I having problems after updating to 5.1. The wifi continiue working on PCs so no problem related to the router. The coverage is good. The problem come out every 5-10 minutes. Any problem with 5.1?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Hi there smdsue,
You may want to try resetting the device. To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. Take a look at the article below for more information.
