My lock screen only stays on on for a millisecond on start up ipad air is this usual

my lock screen only stays on on for a millisecond on start up ipad air is this usual.

Thanks for the replies. I like to power down most of the time to save battery so if it's gonna be normal for me not to be able to get to the slider screen before it goes into sleep I guess I will have to accept it. However I'm sure I remember rightly that the first few times I used it after set up it used to stay on screen for several seconds to allow me to slide the button over. Now it never does and to be honest I would expect it to wait after all you don't boot up your PC and then it immediately go into sleep mode unless something was wrong. I thought most things when powered on would let you sign in or whatever before "going to sleep".
Just concerned to do a reset in case the darned thing does erase stuff which would seriously tee me off. Appreciate the feedback guys.

When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will belost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

How do I set up my iPhone to show message alerts on my locked screen only for messages sent by my contacts?

iPhone now is able to show you messages received even though the screen is locked. This is time efficient. But I do not want to see messages on the locked screen from people who are not in my contacts list. I tried going to settings>notifications>messages> but only saw view in lock screen for all messages. Is there a way to see messages on the locked screen from people only in my contact list? I appreciate it.

Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.

Does the camera app on the lock screen only work for iphone?

i downlaoded ios5.
it says that it has a camera app that you can put on the lock screen. is that only for iphone?

I don't think so.
Try double-pressing the Home button at the lock screen to make it appear.

On the iPad Air, how can I get the lock screen to stay on longer like it was with an iPad 2?

Since getting an iPad Air the lock screen does not stay on but for a few seconds after startup, how can I adjust the time of it? It used to stay on with my iPad2.Thanks

I guess I never noticed that the swipe to open doesn't stay on very long. But, I've not found this to be an issue as I usally swipe the moment I have the option to swipe. It's been so long since I had a 2nd generation iPad that I honestly can't remember if it stayed on longer. It's still not a problem for me. There is no setting which will let you keep the swipe to open on longer, so it would reasonable for Apple to say there is nothing wrong with your iPad

Why do the circles around the numbers on the lock screen only sometimes light up?

I don't know why, but sometimes, they light up as white circles, but other times, only the ones near to the centre of the wallpaper light up, and only the parts nearest to the centre of the screen. That'll be to do with the wallpaper itself, as it's got a bit of a white bit in the centre and black everywhere else - but why do the circles only sometimes light up? And is there a way to make it so the circles are always lit up?

Hello DanteAllege,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the keys on the passcode lock screen dont light up consistently.
I want to recommend a couple of things here. First close all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
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.
Then restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Take care,
Sterling

Can i ask for the model number of the ipad air/mini retina which is warranty in VietNam ??

Hi
i want to ask for some model of the ipad Air/mini retina that could be warranty in Vietnam ?
i did call to the apple center in vn but they refused to provide the model number that will have warranty support
thanks

You can ask, but only Apple can decide how to address your complaint.
If the problems are related to each other it would seem reasonable to request a complete replacement, but no one here can speak on Apple's behalf.

Hello Fionafri
Check out the Wi-Fi troubleshooting article, if that does not resolve the issue then restore the iPad and test it.

Am i the only one that noticed a smaller camera lens on the ipad air?

I was just wondering why apple would make their lens smaller on the ipad air from what it was before on the third and fourth generation ipad. If you have a ipad air and a third or fourth gen ipad compare the cameras on the back and you'll see that the air has a much smaller lens than the previous versions. Im just wondering why apple would do that? Doesn't bigger glass mean more light and better image? Why downgrade the size of the lens?

from what i can tell and read both cameras take around the same quality photos
Which "both cameras" are you referring to? There's been 5 models of iPad, 4 with a camera.
What i just want to know is why make the glass much smaller on the ipad air.
Only Apple could answer that with any certainty.
The size of the bit of glass covering the lens and sensor doesn't necessarily affect the light, unless the smaller hole was obscuring some of it - which obviously it doesn't. The glass could be thinner, or the sensor could be closer to it. Both of which would allow more or equal amounts of light as previous cameras. You can't determine the light level just by the size of the hole in the casing. There's alot more going on that just that.
I wouldn't get too worried about it - I'm sure Apple know what they are doing...

Help! Blackberry Curve 8530 won't go to Home screen only stays at carrier screen!

The other day I updated my Quick Pull app. I forgot to reset the times in which i wanted it to reboot. Last night I remembered and set the time. I normally set it for 3, but since it was 3 it wouldn't be able to reboot until this evening. After I was done with my phone, I rebooted it manually by going to the app and clicking reboot. My battery was also low in the red so I stuck the charger in it. When I woke up this morning my phone was dead, if had fell on the floor and the charger came out. I put the charger back in a waited a little while for it to charge. When it came on, it only went to the Cricket screen, but would not go to the home screen. I took the battery out multiple times, I waited patiently, yet my phone is still stuck on the cricket screen.. Is there anyway to reset it so that it can work again?

Please try this first:
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

My previous lock screen graphic is now oversized for screen

I tried using the same wallpaper that I had on ios 6, but now it is oversized. It says to scale and move. The only problem is that you can only scale up. Trying to scale down does nothing but return it to the original size presented.
My wallpaper has instructions for anyone finding the phone to go the website for i found your phone. Now that is unreadable.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on
