My smart cover isn't shutting down the iPad 2 when I close it.

My iPad is not locking when I shut the smart cover

I have checked my settings and they are as you suggest - the cover lock is set to "On". However, it still does not consistently shut down the iPad 2 and sometimes I find that it has been on all night and drained the battery. How sensitive is the cover to movement - does it change settings when it is in a briefcase and being jostled around a bit for example?

    Can the Smart Cover be used to support the ipad in the upright vertical position?

    It can, but its not very secure, and only in a completely vertical position i.e 90 degrees.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps

    I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Cant get the smart cover to click on to the ipad 2 anymore

    The smart cover doesnt come to place the right way on my ipad2 anymore. It stopped working. The magnets are there but its like they have been pushed to the side inside the ipad.

    The only way to fix this problem is: send it back to apple and order a new one...
    hope this helps

  • My MBP shuts down or sleeps (?) when I close the lid

    Hi
    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to solve it on my own by investigating, asking others og reading this forum.
    My MBP from late 2007 has recently started to shut down/sleep (or maybe even "hibernate" - not sure which is the right term) when I close the lid - meaning that when I open it, it *doesn't wake up automatically* like it used to. *I need to push the "on" button and it takes it a while to start up*. It doesn't start up from scratch; it shows the last screen shaded in a light grey tone - and it's takes quite a few seconds to get ready. As far as I recall, it "woke up" automatically before.
    I haven't changed my preferences - and they are all set to "never", as my MBP is nerly always connected to the adaptor.
    Any clues to what happened and how I can change it? It's really annoying!
    Thanks,
    Carina

    Welcome!
    When my MBP started that same behavior, I found that I had accumulated a huge list of wireless networks on my travels. Reviewing the system log, I found my computer was trying to connect to one, a hotel network to which I had connected weeks before and miles away.
    Here's how I fixed it (I have 10.5.8, not 10.6, but the fix should be the same):
    1) Open System Preferences and select "Network."
    2) Be sure "Airport" is selected in the left side of that preference pane.
    3) Click the "Advanced" button. If the next screen does not have the "Airport" tab selected, select it. There should be a window with a list of networks.
    4) Use the + and - buttons below to remove any networks you have accumulated that are not needed. Example: on mine, I removed all but two networks--our home network and the one at a local museum where I volunteer.
    5) Once you'd cleaned off the list to the bare necessities, uncheck the option labeled, "Remember any network this computer has joined." This will not prevent you from using other networks on later travels but will prevent them building up and creating problems.
    That completely cured my wake-from-sleep problems. and other have said it worked for them, too.

  • Satellite A200-AH3 shut down instead of standby when I close the lid

    Hi,
    I have a Notebook Satellite A200-AH3. When I bought it Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still have de recovery disc). When I closed the lid the system standby (I mean the monitor turn off as the HD, the cooling fan and everything else). The On/Off light on the laptop turned to a blinking orange light.
    Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me the logon screen. This process only happened when the laptop run on the battery, not when it was plugged. Everything was fine like that.
    But I formated the HD to install WIndows XP which I bought because Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and all the driver and software found on the Toshiba website. Now when I close the lid, Windows shutdown very rapidly (about5-6 seconds). However it is a real shut down. When I reopen the lid nothing happen.
    Then I press the power button and Windows start normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe-Mode starting option). Even if I change the setting in the Control Panel/Power Option or in the Toshiba Power Saver Utility and I set them to Standby, it always perform a shut down.
    How do I restablish that?

    What Lars tries to say is that your notebook goes into stand by mode as it should the issue could be that the display does not wake up from stand by when you open the lid.
    On the Toshiba European driver page there are different A200 series but I didnt find your series.
    Looks like this notebook model is not a European series but Toshiba Canadian notebook.
    So you would have to visit the Toshiba Canadian page to get the right BIOS and drivers.
    As Im not mistaken there should be also an Toshiba Power saver for Win XP.
    Please configure it properly.
    In Setup action (power saver tab) you can set the setting what should happen when you close the lid.

  • HT1430 The not enouth storage is stuck on my screen and it will not let me by pass it even though I have increased the storage. I can not shut down the ipad or by forcing it or sliding the power off button. Advice on what to do?

  • I have a new iPad 4 from Christmas and suddenly the sound stops.  I have to shut down the iPad to restore it.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I am interested in knowing if anyone else has had a sound problem with a news ipad4.  In the last two days, my IPad sound has just stopped.  I can get it back by doing a complete shutdown of the iPad.  I will be returning it to the store since I am certain this should not happen.  Just wondered if this is a common problem.  Thanks!

    Is it formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled)?  If not do so using Disk Utility.
    P.S.  If you store live fies on an external disk you need to back it up just like data on your internal disk or if and when that disk crashed then, poof, all your music will be gone.
    If you do not already have one, purchase an external drive to dedicate to Time Machine backups.  Then in the Time Machine exclusions list, remove the image of the music offload disk.  Then both your internal and external live drives will be backed up to the Time Machine disk.

    Hi Rambo,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  From the information you have provided here, its sounds like a couple of different things can be causing this issue.  In looking at some previous instances where this error code was reported when using the application builder, it would be worthwhile to look at the file name field and the location the VIs are saved. 
    Take a look at the field where the file name is provided and ensure only the name is in this location.  By this I mean that the file path and name aren't both concatenated and entered here.
    Also, if the VIs are saved in the user library or the vi library see if it makes any difference if they are moved to another directory. 
    I hope this helps!  If not, any other possible information that you have or may come upon would definitely be helpful.  Have a great day!

  • When erasing iPad from the cloud, will it shut down the iPad or will it only erase the data?

    my ipad got stolen weeks ago and and i tried to track it down using icloud and could not locate it coz it was offline, i then blocked it but now my questions if i erase it from my icloud, will it unblock or will it stay blocked?

    I have a similar problem with the original iPad.  The screen doesn't freeze but the iTunes app quits.  I tried the standard "repairs" that I always recommend to others but no joy.
    Regarding the downloading time, obviously your Internet access data rate is the determining factor but an hour is not unreasonable.

  • Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

    While I'm using safari,  it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.

  • Several Apps seem to just mysteriously shut down after using for a while. Same with Safari, I will be using Safari and it shuts down. Face book too. I've reset and shut down my iPad 3 and restart it, but it stills shuts down. What to do?

    Several Apps seem to mysteriously shut down after using them for a while. Face Book shuts down , netflix, Safari, and other Apps. They work fine for a short while, or a long while, and then shut down and it brings me to my regular desktop screen. I've tried restarting by completely shutting down the IPad until I see the apple pic and turned it back on, but the shutdowns of apps continue. Anyone else have this issue? It generally started shortly after downloading and installing IOS 7......

  • I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what?

    No, you simply do not.  Apple does not sell insurance.
    Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
    Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices.  Buy a new one.
