Smart cover will damage the ipad mini

Just a heads up. The smart cover for the ipad mini has magnets in the spine of the cover that attaches it to the mini and will wear through the material with normal use and will dig into the ipad mini leaving large deep gouges in it. Apple Care considers this damage as "accidental damage", like dropping it, and will charge you to replace it. So If you have a smart cover for your ipad mini, I suggest you stop using it before it damages the device. I've been using it for 6 months which isn't very long, and you don't really expect that a case you bought from apple to protect your device will damage your device just by using it, until you remove the case and see that the damage has already been done.

I use a different "smart cover" than you, but try this: Go to Settings/General/Lock-Unlock. Make sure the feature is enabled by toggling it green. If you've already enabled, toggle the feature off, then on (green).

    i want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?
    Thank you

    Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
    The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

  • When the smart cover turns of the iPad does it turn off the wifi turn off too?

    Am I running down the battery if I don't turn off wifi before I close the smart cover?

    Jfd-
    Closing the smart cover only puts the iPad to sleep.  As far as I know, it puts WiFi to sleep as well.
    There are some Apps such as the Music App, that may continue to play after the iPad goes to sleep.  If you really want to turn off the iPad, hold down the Sleep button for a few seconds until the "Slide to power off" arrow appears.  When the iPad is turned off this way, you turn it back on by holding the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.

  • My smart cover has damaged my ipad

    My smart cover damaged my iPad 2 where the magnets attach to the iPad it caused damage to the rear of the iPad and appears to have rubbed through the rear of the iPad. Will apple replace my iPad and case? It looks terrible and I'm afraid the problem will get worse

  • I have an iPad air with Smart Cover. The Smart Cover switches off the ipad, but when it is lifted, the lock screen appears rather than just starting again

    SSmart cover on iPad air not working as it should

    Depending on your Settings this is normal behavior. Check the Settings app as JimHdk suggested.

  • Does the Smart Cover protect the ipad mini from falls

    I have smashed my ipad mini and am getting a new one. I need something to protect the screen from falls and the Smart Cover doesn't look like it will do it?

    The Smart Cover will provide no real protection against falls. Only a case will provide much protection, and then only a case that provides significant padding or other shock protection, cases like the Otterbox models.
    Regards.

  • Will the smart cover be inside the box of the iPad 2 or a separate package?

    I bought the iPad 2 black Friday and heard it was delivered yesterday. Not getting it until Christmas, but I have been watching unboxing videos on YouTube and found one that had smart cover in box of iPad 2. Did anybody, who bought the iPad 2 online, find the smart cover inside the box?

    No you have to purchase it separately from your iPad.

  • Can the heat generated within the iPad mini w/ Retina Display damage the iPad?

    My iPad mini with retina display gets hot while charging or multitasking or using it for 5-6 continuous hours. It has a TPU material cover on it and sometimes the heat can be felt on the cover. So, if it keeps on heating like this is there a possibility of damaging my iPad? And also can you please tell me the maximum no. Of continuous hours I can use my iPad. Can 5-6 hours of continuous playback damage the. iPad ?

    The ipad has heat sensors in it.
    If the iPad reaches a certain temp, it will shut down to avoid damage.

  • Does the Smart cover stays on the new iPad?

    Does the magnets can stays on the new iPad or are incombatible?

    The Smart Cover will stay on the New iPad.  There have been reports that the magnets is some may not turn the screen on and off, but it will certainly fit and provide protection for your screen.

  • Will the ipad mini work with directv app

    can the ipad mini connect to the directv receiver for the app to work

    If the App connects to the receiver for anything, the Mini will have no issue. Operationally iPads are all the same. They all do the same thing, and as such any App on one will work exactly the same on another iPad that supports the same App.

  • Will the 10 watt charger work with the iPad mini

    I hate how long it takes to charge my iPad mini with the 5 watt charger, so I bought a 10 watt iPad charger online.  It charges my iPhone 5 but not the iPad mini.  The mini recognized it, but it says "not charging"  Did I just get a bum charger (only paid $3.50 on Amazon), or should I try the new 12 watt iPad charger? 

    Yes I would but only a  genuine Apple product ,you have no idea of the
    quality of a $3.50 charger although you could have guessed
    A genuine Apple 10 w will be fine but 12w better and is approved for all
    iOS products

  • Will the Tech21 Impact Mesh for iPad mini fit on the ipad mini retina

    I am wondering because I am thinking of buying a new ipad mini retina but the case I like the most is only the original ipad mini. So will the small thickness increase make it not useable.
    I know about the microphone issue on the retina ( there is also one one the back where as there was not one on the back of the ipad mini original.

    For sure? No. Seeing as how no one has seen a new mini in person. However checking the specs there is a .3 millimeter size difference, there shouldn't be a huge issue.

  • Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

    Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
    The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
    My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
    I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

    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
