My iPad WON'T lock now

Well, at the start I found the "slide to unlock" annoying. So I changed the Settings on IPad Cover Lock/Unlock to OFF. I also changed the Auto-Lock to NEVER.
THEN I changed my mind and decided I wanted the "Slide to unlock" feature back. I changed the Auto-Lock to 2 minutes and the iPad Cover Lock/Unlock to ON.
It won't lock any more. When I open my iPad, the Home pages is always there. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say I did that too.

  • My ipad won't lock and camera is frozen

    so, i had not charged my ipad for about a month and when i turned it on, the lock/sleep or whatever button wouldn't work. i tried using assistive touch to lock my ipad and it didn't work either. i turned it off hoping that would fix the problem but then i couldn't turn it on. i plugged it in and it showed the apple thing. and my camera is frozen and i already closed all the apps. also, my ipad is very slow, lags and crashes a lot. what can i do?

  • My iPad won't print now I have IOS 7

    Having now updated to IOS 7 my iPad will not print?

    Thanks but it is not the printer. When I get the print up on my iPad 'the print' is pale rather than black and it won't press or light up to star printing .
    If you tap on Select Printer, is your printer available?  If you don't see your printer available, make sure it is availble on the network.  If your printer is availble on the network and works with other devices, make sure your iPad is on that network.
    If you haven't already tried, turn the printer off and then turn it on again, you might even have to un-plug the printer's power from the wall.  This usually works for me if my iPad can't see the printer.  Here is the link to Air Print Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356

    Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year.  What do I do now?

    This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

    How to unlock a locked ipad It is locked and now i can not unlock it, the screen is not responding to my sliding the arrow to unlock. can someone suggest what should i do?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do?  It is a 1st generation Ipad.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • My ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it....help..help!

    my ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
