That's funny! "Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad." That basically excludes every liquid on the planet, including water!
All I can say is that I've been using a couple of light spritzes of Windex on my iPad when it gets really dirty, and it has not hurt it one bit.

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

The setting for iPad cover lock/unlock is in settings > general for iPad 2.
The iPad 2 and new iPad if both are using iOS 5.x or later the setting exist in settings > general.
So, if you worked at an apple store I think you should have known that the setting exist.
You are right, a hard reset (force restart) should only be used if iOS device is unresponsive or apps crashing...etc.
But, a simple restart helps as well.

Help with broken screen on new ipad plee I have brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

I have just dropped my brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

Flat rate $299.
Actually, they won't replace the screen, they'll replace it. The following is a C&P from the link that I gave you.
"If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below."

Is there a way to have my iPad Mini's Smart Cover open up to the lockscreen instead of unlocking it?

I'm using 32gb iPad mini 1st gen, which is running iOS 8.1.2. I have a Zagg Keyboard Folio Smart Cover.
My "lock/unlock" option in settings is on, and works just fine, but while I want my iPad to lock itself automatically I do not want it to UNlock—just turn the screen on upon opening the device.
I DO NOT want to use a passcode to do this.
I found a thread posted three months ago on Reddit (will link soon) which said this was possible with a "iPad cover unlock" toggle setting in "General," but I cannot find this option in my settings.
Does anyone have any ideas? It bothers me in the most insignificant manner possible, but I would like to change it if I can.
I fully appreciate any and all help! Thank you in advance!

You cannot set it to unlock only. It's both or nothing.

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

Which cover is better whether smart cover or smart case

which cover is better whether smart cover or smart case

It is really a choice to personal preference.
The Smart Cover provides some protection for the front of the device but no side/back protected. However, the Smart Cover is much more easier to use in my opinion and makes the device feel better.
The Smart Case provides all around protection for your iPad and is worth getting. It is not as tough as some of the crazy cases out their that like protect from 100ft drops lol.
So, just go to the Apple store and talk to a representative and he/she will help you out!

My iPad 2 smart cover keeps making scratches and damages my iPad

Help this smart cover scratches and damages my iPad 2
It started out fine when I got it but after a while it got dirty and well u know the rest

Agreement with skyupi. To clean mine, I just got my hands soapy and rubbed it on both sides. Rinse it off and I'd set it to dry. Cleans real well.

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting. Anyone having problems?

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket. When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash. Anyone having problems? Help.

Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

My smart cover is scratching my screen and will not put my ipad to sleep what should I do?

Ever since I got my IPad the smart cover half the time does not put the Ipad to sleep. Also, the cover is scratching my screen. This smart cover is really causing me to regret my decision to sell my IPad 1 and get the second generation IPad. Also, Safari is and some of the other apps are constantly crashing, I am getting really frustrated where should I go from here the apple store has not been much of a help?
P.S.
I hope that this is not like the first generation Apple TV I bought which has never worked correctly (waste of 220 dollars).

How to clean iPad mini retina red smart Cover case

Hi i need to know how to clean mi iPad mini retina red Smart Cover
Thanks

Hi Leemrt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for tips on cleaning your Apple products:
How to clean Apple products

iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—polyurethane
To clean your polyurethane iPad Smart Cover / Case, first remove it from the iPad. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Wipe the front of the Smart Cover / Case and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt.
Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the polyurethane Smart Cover / Case.
iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—leather
The iPad leather cover/case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it. It may acquire a patina and may change color due to the oils from your skin and direct sunlight, further enhancing the natural look.
Cleaning the leather may affect its color. If you choose to clean the leather, first remove the cover/case from your iPad. Use a clean cloth with warm water and mild hand soap to gently clean the leather. Wipe the outside and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. You can also use a mild cleaner along with a dry clean cloth. Mild cleaners or conditioners may help remove some stains but may also change the color of the leather.
Keep your iPad leather cover/case away from prolonged intense sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to water, oil, makeup, and dyed materials (such as denim) can stain tanned leathers.
All the best,
Jeremy

How can a new iPad smart cover of polyurethane having moister problems

I bought the New iPad with a smart cover, Now after 3 months one side of the smart cover is getting lose and I sent it bach to the store after investigation he said apple doesnot give any garantee becos of moister issues. How is this possible as polyurethane doesnot absorbe moister.
What can I do?

Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

Clean an ipad smart cover

Hi
This is petty and my own fault but it's making me crazy. This Christmas I treated myself to a new ipad air2 with a red smart cover. That makes this not even 3 months old. I had the slightest thumbprint on my cover and with a black microfiber magic cloth and just a dampening of alcohol I tried to remove it and another mark on the cover. What happened was the color from the micro cloth seems to have to have stained my smart cover. I have tried every trick I found on the internet and nothing is removing the stains. It's just making me crazy that a tiny bit of rubbing of the cover could do this much damage. I've tried carpet cleaning, foam, light detergent, detergent spread on the stain and left to soak, oxi-clean paste to soak, erasers with no effective result.
The cover is plastic(polyurethene) how can you stain plastic and not be able to clean it up. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks
RL

It's a little late now but for future reference, you should only use some water and possibly some highly diluted mild detergent (like dish soap) for cleaning. Never use alcohol...it's unpredictable with what it does to different surfaces. Some surfaces are fine while others can react in a negative way.
As far as getting out that stain, I would try to go over the entire surface of the cover with the dish soap, not just the spot. You want to try to blend, not concentrate on the spot. If that doesn't help, I'm afraid you'll have to live with it or get another Smart Cover, with a lesson being learned.
