Smart cover interfearing with notification

I Have had my iPad 2 for some time now and I have a smart cover I am running iOS 5.0.1, Now I have my Notifications setup and when I have the smart cover closed and sitting on my desk, coffee table, etc. There is no alert of notifications but the moment I open the cover all the notifications that happened while the cover was closed come rushing in.
Now I purchased an iPad 3 which is running iOS 5.1 and I went a purchased the official Apple Smart cover with it and have already noticed that it is doing the same thing as the iPad 2.
I have gone through all the settings and made sure that everything is setup correctly I know the notifications work as when the smart cover is off on both of the iPad 2 & 3 they work perfectly everytime.
So! My questio is what could I be doing wrong is there something that I have missed or is this a common problem.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for yoru response, SBerman.
The reason for this question is because of the weight and dimensional differences between the iPad 2 and the New iPad.
iPad 2 is 0.346 inches (8.8 mm) while the New iPad 0.37 inches (9.4 mm).
For Wi-Fi with iPad 2, it weighs 1.33 pounds (601 grams) against 1.44 pounds (652 grams) for the New iPad. iPad 2 WiFi + 3G weighs 1.35 pounds (613 grams) against 1.46 pounds (662 grams) for New iPad WiFi + Cellular.
Considering the magnets for the older covers were designed for lesser weight and thickness, there must be some usage implications and effect on wear. At least logically there must be one.
I've also been told that the newer Smart Covers (in the markets post May 2012) have a stronger linking and less incidences of unbonding once it is standing or when being held when in the triangular formation used for typing or FaceTime.

Smart Cover works with Skype

After I opened Smart Cover I could answer skype calls immediately. But somehow I turned this option down. Does anybody knows how can I turn it on again?

Update: I'm now running 10.6.3 and iPhoto 8.1.2, and the problem is gone.
Thanks, Apple.

Does the new smart cover work with old iPad?

Hello,
as the subject
Does it work? because I'm very interested about it!

As much as I am also disappointed with this, I just had to remind myself that the original Apple iPad cover gives you the same features of standing it up and typing angle... Again, I wish it did too but I know I'm not missing out on functionality with my old iPad case...

What is the warranty on an iPad Smart Cover purchased in India?

I purchased a smart cover along with the new iPad in India from an Apple Authorized reseller. I was wondering what is the warranty offered for genuine Apple accessories purchased from an Apple Authorized reseller in India, in particular the Smart Cover. There should be a simple "Yes or No" answer to this question.
According to Apple, they offer a one year warranty for all Apple accessories. http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/accessory-english.html
And yet, I was denied warranty coverage by the AASP and Service Center stating that Smart Covers are not covered under this warranty.
To extend the question:
1) Is the Apple Smart Cover NOT an Apple Accessory?
2) If it is an Apple Accessory, then is it not subject to the same warranties granted for all Apple Accessories?
3) If there is an undisputed understanding that a smart cover is flawed, should the smart cover be replaced within one year?

King is nearly absolutely right. When you restore your iPhone in iTunes (Restore iPhone), new software is downloaded and installed on your iPad. However, if you "Erase All Content and Settings," this simply does what it says. It removes whatever you have on your iPad and wipes it allowing you to start fresh.
It's important to note that this does not install new software on your iPad. If you are having trouble with your iPad and are attempting to restore to troubleshoot or resolve an issue, it's always best to restore from iTunes for new software.

In regards to your device not being recognized by iTunes, King hit the money. The article he linked will absolutely resolve that issue providing the issue isn't with your computer's hardware or software and isn't related to Apple's products in any way.

Has anyone seen their iPads using your wifi non-stop, even if you are not using it, even when it's closed with the smart cover?

Lately my internet usage is up to the roof. I though somebody was hacking my wireless router so I made it super safe with lots of restrictions.
But that didn't stop the download of stuff over my wireless network. When I monitor who or what is using my wirelss, only my iPad was on, so, the moment I turn the wifi off on my ipad, the download stop. Turn it back on, it goes like crazy sucking up data off my wireless router for no reason. There is no indicator that the iPad is using the wireless yet, it is my iPad downloading things that I can't even seen, it does even with smart cover on!!!!. It's been over 50GB in only three days. I don't even have that amount of data on iCloud. This began a few days later after I upgraded my iOS to 6. But also, I'm thinking it could be an app that I installed. Or is it possible someone can use my iPad as a middle point to access my router and steal my internet. I have restored the OS on the iPad and it keeps doing it. Anyone has experienced something similar?

I'm going to guess that your battery life is also not so hot. What I suspect is happening is thatbthe pad is locked into an update loop with I cloud. As an example, if you have addresses that do not agree, the cloud back up will continue to try and correct itself, using both battery and wifi ( or cell). It may also be an app trying to uzpdate itself.
To troubleshot, try turning thigs off. If you are using the cloud, turn off all syncing and see it the problem stops. Then turn them back on, one by one, until you find the culprit. If it is an app, it may be harder to find, but the steps are the same. Turn off all notifications, and uninstall anything you added around the time the problem started.
A frequent culprit is magazine, comic, and newspaper subscriptions, that are constantly trying to update themselves.
Keep looking, you will find it.

ICal alerts don't work with smart cover closed?

Is this by design? If I have an event set for an alarm in ical, then i have my smart cover closed to cover the iPad...the alarm won't go off until I lift the smart cover. It could be an hour or so past the event, but I won't know that until I open the cover. This basically eliminates the use of using iCal alert system.
Am I missing something? Would love for the alarm to go off to remind me of meetings etc regardless if the smart cover is closed or not.
Thanks for any advice.

Alarms beep on my iPad 2 with the cover closed. You must not have it set up correctly. Is Calendar included in your Notification Center alerts? Mine is set for Alerts, Badge App Icon ON, and View in Lock Screen ON.

So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on the iPad when u open it, but it's no doing that for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?

So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?

Wait a sec did this just start?
You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now.

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.

Does anyone has a problem with the screen of the new ipad? (there's a part of the screen which the color in it is "very" bright) and when I move the aluminium part of the smart cover when it's attached to the ipad the colors change!! Help!!!

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

Ipad sleeve with smart cover

Hi,
I am looking for some type of sleeve for my ipad when I travel to/from work on my motorcycle. The plan would be to have the ipad in the saddlebag, but have a bit of extra protection from vibration and such. I have a smart cover and the thin back protector installed. I would like something with some extra space to keep those on and just slide the ipad into the sleeve.
Thanks

I would just find a generic neoprene sleeve. Look at office supply stores or the such.

IPad (4th Gen) What is a good case that goes with the "iPad Smart Cover"?

Hi,
I'm currently looking for a case that covers the aluminum back that also goes with the iPad Smart Cover. Thanks!

I've bought a ton of back covers. It's been hard trying to find the right one. I've settled on two really good ones though:
Caudabe Shell: This one's my daily driver, so to speak. I've got the frost version and it looks really good and has held up really well. Price is very reasonable too.
Switcheasy Cover Buddy: I like this one as well. Only thing is that they don't seem to have a frost version. They just have opaque colors, which I'm not a huge fan of. This is also a little bit more expensive than the Caudabe cover.

My iPad Air doesn't lock with a Smart Cover

I have an iPad Air first generation with iOS 8.2 on it. I purchased an official Apple Smart Cover and the smart lock/unlock does not work. I have the lock/ unlock setting enabled in settings>general. I have also tried an aftermarket smart case and it doesn't work either. The screen doesn't lock and I don't hear an audible lock sound. I have tried restoring my iPad. I took my iPad to the Apple Store and they told me the iPad was out of warranty and offered to sell me a refurbished iPad of the same model for $299. I was disappointed this was the only option they gave me. What else can I try?
