TS2634 Why my ipad mini dont have cover slip settings

I buy may new ipad mini but the cover slip setting i didn't find in setting help me please

What were you expecting to find ?

Does the iPad mini have the cover lock capability?

Does the iPad mini have the cover lock capability?

Yes it should work, as long as you have the preference turned on. Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock / Unlock

Is there a way to have my iPad Mini's Smart Cover open up to the lockscreen instead of unlocking it?

I'm using 32gb iPad mini 1st gen, which is running iOS 8.1.2. I have a Zagg Keyboard Folio Smart Cover.
My "lock/unlock" option in settings is on, and works just fine, but while I want my iPad to lock itself automatically I do not want it to UNlock—just turn the screen on upon opening the device.
I DO NOT want to use a passcode to do this.
I found a thread posted three months ago on Reddit (will link soon) which said this was possible with a "iPad cover unlock" toggle setting in "General," but I cannot find this option in my settings.
Does anyone have any ideas? It bothers me in the most insignificant manner possible, but I would like to change it if I can.
I fully appreciate any and all help! Thank you in advance!

You cannot set it to unlock only. It's both or nothing.

IPad mini calendar alert sounds

My calendar alert sounds have stopped working! I have checked volume and settings. The sounds work when I test them in settings, but when the event pops up on the screen to remind me, there is no sound! Help! I have 8 people in my home to coordinate and I am missing appointments due to no sound! Crazy! I know! But I got the iPad mini to help me remember all my 'stuff'! I have tried the side button. On. Off. Reset to screen orientation. I have read all the postings. I wonder if its the calendar I bought? It is 'Task and Cal'? Not sure what is going wrong.

Hi wanda254,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check the sound settings on your iPad using the information found here:
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5800
If your alert settings are correct but you still do not hear alert sounds, try these troubleshooting steps next:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Ipad mini message alerts and banners not working.

My ipad mini isn't making message sounds when I receive iMessages or showing banner alerts even tough it's all set up and turned on to do so.

Took a trip to the Genius Bar and about 2 minutes to correct: The Dynex HDMI Cable from Best Buy didn't work. The Apple one works fine.
Now I find my Movie Download from Comcast On Demand won't play thru the adapter. The Movie plays fine on the Mini, but I get a screen warning it's being blocked by Apples' Relationship with Starz. Funny, Comcast says it works fine. Another example of Apple forcing me to use the I-Tunes store on their products if I want to see it on their Hardware? If I pay for the rights thru Comcast, and they don't limit my Hardware, is it right for a Computer Maker too? After the E-Books price fixing probe...are these kinds of issues next?

Can iPad Air sleep when cover closed be disabled?

An advertised feature of the function of the iPad Air is to automatically enter sleep when the Smart Cover is closed. My wife tends to start listening to a YouTube movie in bed and then closes the cover of her original iPad so that the display goes out and continues to listen to the audio. I'm considering getting her a new iPad Air, but wonder if the auto-sleep feature will interfere with how she is used to doing things. Can the auto-sleep feature be disabled? Can it be made to only affect the display and still allow audio streaming to continue? Apologies if I am just behind the times -- we currently have no iOS7-capable devices.

The Auto Lock can be turned off, but it will not put the screen to sleep. You can cover the iPad and the video will continue to play, but the screen will not turn black and go into sleep mode. You will simply be covering the screen.
When you put the iPad to sleep, YouTube Videos will quit playing. You can no longer play YouTube Videos in the background in iOS 7.

IPad mini retina smart cover

hello - does anyone know what the difference is between older smart covers and the one which are releasing this week? Is it just colours? (Apart from adding the white one, I don't see what the difference in colours either...)

Hi Leemrt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for tips on cleaning your Apple products:

iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—polyurethane
To clean your polyurethane iPad Smart Cover / Case, first remove it from the iPad. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Wipe the front of the Smart Cover / Case and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt.
Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the polyurethane Smart Cover / Case.
iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—leather
The iPad leather cover/case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it. It may acquire a patina and may change color due to the oils from your skin and direct sunlight, further enhancing the natural look.
Cleaning the leather may affect its color. If you choose to clean the leather, first remove the cover/case from your iPad. Use a clean cloth with warm water and mild hand soap to gently clean the leather. Wipe the outside and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. You can also use a mild cleaner along with a dry clean cloth. Mild cleaners or conditioners may help remove some stains but may also change the color of the leather.
Keep your iPad leather cover/case away from prolonged intense sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to water, oil, makeup, and dyed materials (such as denim) can stain tanned leathers.
All the best,
Jeremy

ICal alerts don't work with smart cover closed?

Is this by design? If I have an event set for an alarm in ical, then i have my smart cover closed to cover the iPad...the alarm won't go off until I lift the smart cover. It could be an hour or so past the event, but I won't know that until I open the cover. This basically eliminates the use of using iCal alert system.
Am I missing something? Would love for the alarm to go off to remind me of meetings etc regardless if the smart cover is closed or not.
Thanks for any advice.

Alarms beep on my iPad 2 with the cover closed. You must not have it set up correctly. Is Calendar included in your Notification Center alerts? Mine is set for Alerts, Badge App Icon ON, and View in Lock Screen ON.

Does Anyone Make A Leather iPad mini Smart Cover (Not a Case)

I'm looking for a leather smart cover for the iPad mini (not a case that also covers the back). Does anyone make one?

I found a few options by doing a web search for "ipad mini leather smart cover". Whether any would suit you I can't say, but you can look into the available options.
Regards.

Lock screen closing apps - iOS8/iPad Mini

Since the iOS8 upgrade my iPad mini closes the open app when it auto locks or when I close the cover. How do I fix this undesirable behaviors?

Hey there Artisansdjj,
It sounds like your iPad is minimizing or closing any app that was open before you put it to sleep with the Smart Cover, or the Sleep/Wake button. I would start by quitting all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I am having trouble with the Smart Cover not staying on the ipad mini.

I just recently got a iPad mini, and, looking for something to protect the screen without adding bulk, I bought a Smart Cover. It's nice, but I noticed that it doesn't stay closed against the screen, it slides off very easily, and I'm afraid will come off in a bag and turn it on and off by accident. Please help!

Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?

The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.

IPad mini cover closure not working

The magnetic cover for iPad mini does not put it to sleep on closure. Any suggestions?

Does it matter what side you place the cover on? Try bringing a magnet up to the Ipad also to see if the magnet is not working in the cover. If another magnet works then there is a problem with the cover. I would see about getting it replaced in that event.
