TS2634 Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch off doesn't work. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch doesn't work to switch off ipad when cover is closed. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Has this problem just cropped up or has it been there all along.
The iPad 3 requires a Smart Cover with magnet aligned only in a certain way. This was not the case for the previous models of iPads. So some older covers will work with the newer iPads because their magnets just happened to be aligned just right. Other covers will not.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

    I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work.   It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there.  It used to toggle between Volume on and off.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power.  Any ideas?

    You can't directly from a Galaxy phone.  But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Maybe the replacement is defective.

  • How to fix iPad. My iPad automatically updated itself. Now it doesn't work.

    How do I fix my iPad? Today my iPad automatically updated itself. Now it doesn't work.
    A red square fills up the screen. Then it goes to an ad for Office. It flips to various apps without touching it.
    I tried restarting it several times. This is a disaster. My mother 91 yrs. old has been keeping busy playing
    puzzles on my iPad. Now she is driving me crazy telling me to just "plug it in"  lol
    HELP!

    Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

    You would have to use AEM Forms to take the XDP you designed and render the template as HTML5 for viewing on the iPad.

    Hello Drvsowlaks,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To isolate and troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to first reset your iPad by following the steps in the article below.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue persists, please back up your iPad, and then restore it to its factory defaults.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Take care,

  • IPAD2 Magnetic On/Off Sensor not working after replacing power ribbon

    I broke my digitizer so replaced it, in doing so I damaged the delicate power ribbon so replaced that too. Everything works excep the magnetic on/off that activates when yo close down the Smart Cover.
    I have tried another power ribbon and again everything works (power, mute, volume) except the magnetic on/off sensor.
    Does any body have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
    The part I am referring to is on ifixit ipad 2 smart cover tear down see link below but as there is no damage to the item (and I've tried a second ribbon) I really can't see what else to do.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-2-Smart-Cover-Teardown/5089/1
    I usually get a buzz from being able to fix things like this but this is really making me tear my hair out. Any ideas please...

    I have found that the original 821-1151-A cable differs from all the replacements I have bought so far as follows:
    1.  The original has the two pins of the Hall Effect device chip towards the edge of the cable connected together by the print and the connected by a track in the cable to system earth.  On the fake cable the pins are connected together but go nowhere.
    2.  The two pins of the Hall chip away from from the edge of the cable are connected to separate print tracks on the original but are connected together on the fake.
    3.  The multipin connector on the original cable has metal end cap reinforcements which are missing from the fake.
    4.  On the original cable the system earth side of the slide switch is connected to the multipin connector and on the fake is not.
    5.  The print connecting the cable to the multipin connector on one side lacks the individual contact connections of the original.
    Since a Hall Device needs at least three circuit connections to function these cables are obvious fakes.

  • Please help me my iphone 4 switch off and not working

    please help me my iphone switch off and not working

    Hello safaabh,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone would not power on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • My name suleman i have i phone 5 so it's switch off/on not working

    dear
    i have problem withe my phone 5
    a switch off/on is not working

    iPhones are warrantied in the country of purchase.  If you purchased it in Ireland, take it to an Apple store in Ireland.  If not, you'll need to send it to someone in the country of purchase and have them take it in to Apple for possible warranty replacement.

  • HT201412 I have the Scrabble game app on my iPad but every time I try to open to play it, it does not open. Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

    My husband originally bought the Scrabble app for his iPhone. I downloaded it onto my iPad and used it, successfully, for 1 day. Since then, when I try to open it, it starts to load and then shuts down and goes back to the main screen. PLEASE, someone, help me with this problem.

    Try closing the Scrabble app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Scrabble app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Scrabble app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither of the above fix it then you could try deleting it and re-sync or re-download it via the Purchased tab.
