Since I updated to OS7 my iPad will not go to sleep

The iPad screen never sleeps on its own now unless I close the cover or push the power button. Any ideas how to fix this?

Well, that is your option. If you set a lock code on it, then it will always ask for it once the device has gone to sleep. If you choose not to have a passcode, then you would always just Slide to Unlock it.
I don't have passcodes on any of my devices, but I am not out and about much, so not much of an opportunity for me to lose them or have them stolen. Most people do have a lock code as it adds extra security in the case that your device is lost or stolen.
So, again, that is up to you.
Cheers,
GB

    I have the ipad 4th generation. I tried installing the latest version and the screen came up with the arrow and itunes sign. Im pretty sure I have the latest version of itunes. After I tried restoring it on my coumpter it now has an apple logo staying on the screen.
    That would be the indication of Recovery Mode. You can try instructions from this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you attempt it a couple of times and it does not complete, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store, or Apple Service Provider to check for hardware problems.

  • After updating my iTunes, my iPad will not update past 5.1.  How can I update to ios 7?

    I have updated my iTunes to current version.  When I try to update my ipad is says that my iOS 5.1 is current and no new updates are needed.  My phone updated without any problem to ios 7.  Any suggestions?

    Is your iPad a generation one ipad? if so, then 5.1.1 is the max operating system for that device.

  • After updating to os5, my iPad will not restore. What do I do?

    When I attempt to restore my iPad it first says: An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1).  When I hit okay on that it then says: iTunes could not restore the iPad because an error occured. I have gone through all of the suggested tips on the website but it is still not working. Any ideas?

    All sorted now!!
    Check out this thread by MrCEO
    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    The answer is to:
    set up my iPod (or iPad - should work the same) as a new iPod. Then in iTunes I synced everything as if it was a new iPod. After the sync was complete I right clicked on my iPod on the left in iTunes and selected restore from backup. I selected the right backup file (the older version, not the one just created) and it worked!!

  • IPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

    iPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

    Generally speaking, your bank would use a cookie to store your card number (bad) or to associate your browser with its list of saved card numbers (less bad). If you have cookies cleared after each session, then you may be blocking this feature.
    To check your cookie handling for your bank's site, when you are on the site, right-click the page and choose View Page Info, then Permissions. Under "Set Cookies" most likely the "Use Default" checkbox is checked. The actual setting will appear in gray.
    If the actual setting is not Allow, then uncheck "Use Default" and check "Allow." This will take effect the next time you start Firefox or if you clear the site's cookies on the Security tab (View Cookies button) and then revisit the site.
    If the actual setting already is Allow, then some other feature (e.g., clearing history when you exit) or program (e.g., a security suite) is clearing the cookie.

  • HT1222 Since I downloaded my update my iPad will not stay connected to the wifi. Why? & how can I fix it?

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • Since I upgraded to OS 6 my ipad will not connect to my WiFi

    Since I upgraded to OS 6 my ipad will not connect to my WiFi unless I am right next to it.  if i walk more than three feet away it looses connection. I have tried the brightness, resetting the network settings, changing the channel on my router...help.  I have century link in Phoenix arizona.  modem/router is a
    ZyXEL - PK5000Z.  It seems to work ok on my work wifi.
    My iphone and netbook work perfectly with it.  I do have an upgrade to the software on my iphone, but I fear that will loose wifi as well. 

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    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.

    Try resetting the iPad. Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignore the off slider if it should appear. This should take only about ten seconds or so. Once shut down is compete, turn the iPad back on.

  • HT4623 My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

    My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • After updating my wife's iPad to iOS6 the ipad will not connect to wifi on certain wireless routers. What can we do? Also, same for iPad mini with same router. But iPhone that has iOS5 has no problem connecting.

    Need help. Before updating to latest software iOS6 the iPad had no issues connecting on our home router. After updating the iPad will not work. We have a mini iPad with same issue. But I have a iPhone 4S that I chose not to update to iOS6, still has iOS5. It connects no problem to router. Our computers have no issues connecting to router either. There is a software issue with iOS6.0.1 that will not allow certain routers to communicate. What can I do?  Also, the mini iPad stated a newer version of software is out, version 6.0.2 which is supposed to correct the wifi problems. It has helped but still haven't connectivity issues. However, the iPad states software is up-to-date so we cannot update to 6.0.2 even through connecting to computer on iTunes. How can that be?

    Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.
