No smart cover unlock option iPad 3?

I am looking in the "General" setting for my iPad 3 and there is no option for the Smart cover unlock feature? My sisters iPad 2, iOS 5.1, has the feature so why wouldn't the iPad 3 have it?

Its in General...there are three choices together..
First Auto lock, then Passcode Lock, then ipad cover Lock / Unlock
Oddly enough, I did not have that option until I ran a small magnet along the edge of the iPad. That activated the option in Settings........I didn'tt buy the Smart Cover, but bought a rooCase which was "supposed" to work the lock/unlock function. Sadly, the magnet in the case is just far enough "off" that it does not work. By using the small magnet, I not only activated the option, but was able to determine why the case didn't work. Like the case, just not happy that it doesn't work as advertised. Sellers should never have advertised "works with new iPad" until the iPad was actually out there for them to try it with, imho.

  • Smart cover lock option not show in setting in new ipad

    hi
    i have a new ipad 64 wi-fi 4g and i used smart cover.
    when i conected smart cover to new ipad, in setting>general not show smart lock.
    plese help me

    Mine did not show up until I ran a kitchen magnet along the edge of the iPad. I heard a click and then when I went to Settings, the option was there. I had a cover that was SUPPOSED to work with the new iPad, but the magnet was in the wrong spot, apparently. I discovered the locationproblem by using the magnet trick............and in the process, managed to activate the smart cover option

  • If I buy the smart cover and my iPad have a code, when I open the case will be unlocked?

    I would like to buy the iPad mini smart cover, but my iPad have a password, so I don't know if I get it, the cover will auto unlocked my password?

    No.  When you open the Smart cover, the iPad will be at the Enter Passcode screen waiting for you to enter it.  No Autounlock.

  • Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ?

    I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ? I was very naive in choosing the "cream" colored one and now it doesn't look so neat ... Any ideas ?

    Please disregard my question - just found the answer elsewhere on this page :-)

  • Smart Cover and Dock (iPad 2)

    For those that have the iPad 2 and using the Smart Cover in conjunction with the Dock.
    I currently have a Smart Cover for my iPad 2 and have a Dock on order.
    Question:
    Can I leave the Smart Cover on the iPad2 while docking it using the Dock for iPad2?
    Thanks

    I have no doubt it'll work with the Smart Cover on THE FRONT..
    The question is ; does it work when you open the cover, and put it on the back of the iPad?
    I'd like to keep the cover on (the backside) and see the screen WHILE I charge it in the new iPad2 docking...
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • Does the magnetic smart cover affect my iPad mini performance? ( screen display, motherboard, software/hardware)

    Does the magnetic smart cover affect my iPad mini performance? ( screen display, motherboard, software/hardware)

    No, the magnet used there is too weak to affect the hardware of your tablet.

  • Does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

    does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

    No - if you look at the specs, the sizes of the two devices is quite different.

  • Smart Cover scratched my iPad Air screen

    Has anyone else had the Smart Cover scratch their iPad Air screen?  I am very careful with my iPad, and the scratch was not there yesterday.  I use the Smart Cover.  It really is not a smart design to have the part of the cover that goes against the screen be the same part that sits on the desk or where ever the iPad is being placed.  I have tried flipping the cover the other way, but the magnet does not hold and it falls over any time I try touch the screen.  I use my iPad for work, so I have it sitting upright most of my day.  This is really frustrating.  While I have the Apple Care, I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.  It's a small scratch, but it's very visible, particularly when typing notes/documents/emails.  I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.  I am thoroughly disappointed.  Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.

    Has anyone else had the Smart Cover scratch their iPad Air screen?
    I have the smart case, basically the same as the cover, and have yet to experience a scratch in over three years of use.
    I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.
    If it bothers you, you don't have much choice. Isn't that part of the reason you bought Applecare+?
    I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.
    You did not overpay, you paid what Apple charged. No cover is going to protect 100% of the device. The scratch could have come from anything besides the cover. Any cover is better than no cover.
    Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.
    Uh, no. You can have the device replaced with a refurbished model. New case, battery and screen. To get the device replaced is only 10% of the cost of a new device. Use your Applecare+ for what it was intended. Otherwise you paid more for Applecare+ than you did for the cover yet complain about the price of the cover.

  • Why isn't my Smart Cover locking my iPad?

    My Smart Cover is no longer locking my iPad 2. I have rebooted and turned off the cover lock, closed the cover and then turned it back on...nothing changes.

    First make sure you've updated the iOS.
    Go to settings/general/ make sure ipad cover lock/unlock is turned on.
    After verifying that, and still does not work then....
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Smart cover unlock passcode

    how do u unlock the iPad or iPad mini with the smart cover and a passcode

    When you pull back the smart cover, the screen should turn on, and the enter passcode box should appear.
    Enter the passcode there to unlock.
    The Smart cover merely turns on and off the screen, it does nothing else.
    What exactly happens when you do this?

  • My iPad smart cover scratched my iPad, can apple replace my iPad?

    I was very up set to find that my apple smart cover hinge scrached the right hand side of my iPad. I was very upset at this and as an apple lover this is not what I expect!

    No, because you scratched it, not Apple. Furthermore, it is going to be hard to prove that the smart cover caused the scratches on your device, and that they were not in there earlier.

  • Smart cover not sending iPad 1 to sleep?

    iPad used to go to sleep when I closed the smart cover, but now it doesn't. Any idea why not? OS 5.1.1

    If this is an iPad 1, the smart covers are for the iPad 2 and the new iPad.
    The cover doesn't work to turn the iPad 1 on and off because the iPad 1 doesn't have the built-in magnets inside the iPad to hold the cover on much less turn the iPad on and off.
