Why does the screen on my IPad 3 go blank before it allows me to "slide to unlock"?"

I recently bought the iPad3.  When I turn it on, I see the home screen and the "slide to unlock", but I can't do anything until the screen goes blank.  Then I have to press the home button and the "slide to unlock" becomes accessible.  Is this normal?  Thanks!

I found apple service by calling number on the new ipad manual that comes in the ipad box. At the end pages of that manual there is number for support and service. You can also try to learn service number from the store you bought it. Or you live in a country which has Apple Store, give it to them to test it.
I thought it was a software issue too. I'm good on using software. I struggled a lot to find the trick. I searched net about it and saw it happens with ipads, iphones, android phones, generally touch screens. Don't accept ro reset your device advice if it is repeating.

  • Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around?  Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen.  Is my mini possessed?

    Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps.  I reboot and still it happens.  Any suggestions?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

    Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

    To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
    If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
    Hope that helps!

  • If you rub the edge of the fingerprint scanner in a circle, why does the screen drop down?

    MY daughter was drawing circles around the metal part of the fingerprint scanner and noticed the screen contents moves to the bottom of the screen instead of the top. Then it goes back to the top when touched again. Why does it do this?

    That is a feature of the 6 & 6 plus.  I believe it is called reachability.  It moves the furthest section of the screen down to allow for one handed use.

  • Why does the screen turn back on when the brightness is turned down?

    Hi,
    I bought a macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8), and just recently last week when i turn the brightness down to black, after a couple minutes later the screen turns back on. Then when i touch the trackpad then it goes back to black. Is there any way where i can change this setting??? because this didn't happen before and now it just constantly occurs.

    Why does my mac mini automatically restart when I shut down?
    Seems that some process is calling it back.
    If I shut down via the log in screen it turn's off. What gives?
    Probably a process in your account and not systemwide.
    Go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. BShutdown and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Test.
    EDIT: Also, unmount & disconnect all peripherals except Apple keyboard & mouse.

  • Why does the screen shift to the last tool position

    I have a large diagram, so it involves sliding the screen back and fort to see the whole diagram.
    If I wire an item then slide the screen over to select another item, the item is selected, however, the screen shifts automatically back to were the previous tool position was. Then I have to re-slide the screen to see my newly selected item. It does this all the time with a large diagram.
    Why does LV do this?

    Save the vi, even though the title does not show "*", but save it just after your move your screen and want to maintain that view.

  • Why does the screen unlock when using voice dialer on iphone 5S?

    Here's the scenario I'm referring to:  my iphone is in my pocket with the screen locked and headphones plugged in. I toggle the mic switch and use voice control to place a phone call. On every other iphone I have owned, the screen stays locked. On the 5S, the screen unlocks when the call begins, making the end call button or other phone buttons able to be activated accidentally by my leg.
    Why did they change this feature on the 5S?  The iphone 5 stays locked in the same scenario. Just updated to 7.0.4 and it still hasn't been fixed. Is there a way to fix this issue?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • MAC Voice Over: Why does the screen view lag behind the voice over audio?

    MAC Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
    When using voice over on a MAC with DE 1.8 - most times when paging thru a pdf file/book the voice and the view are inconsistent.  When using VO -  moving to the next page with the right arrow key - the audio starts to read the next page (correct), but the display is one page behind (not correct).  For readers - especially those that have significant visual impairment  - this will not work for them.  Is this a defect - and if so - I would be very happy to re-test this feature if a new revision of DE 1.8 is provided.
    I am unsure this is the correct forum to raise issues such as this one.  I am in the process of evaluating Adobe DE 1.8 - my sister is blind and I am trying to move her to a MAC with VO.  I really appreciate Adobe's effort in supporting JAWS and MAC VO - thank you on behalf of all disabled folks out there.
    Below is a detailed list of steps to re-produce this audio/screen inconsistency issue.
    - Install DE 1.8 and add to the dock
    - Add a pdf file/book to DE 1.8.  For my issue, I am adding the "Voice Over Getting Started" guide. 
    - Turn on Voice Over - Cmd+F5
    - Using VO - Go to the dock and select DE and start it.  The "Last Read Book" typically is the focus for the VO cursor.  Then using VO next item (VO+right arrow) - move the VO cursor to "Library Content Table".  This is the list of books that are displayed in DE.
    - Using the up/down keyboard arrows - move up and down thru the books in the content list.  At this point - you should already see that the VO audio announcing the title of a book is not synchronized with the row in the table that is displayed.  The voice is announcing a book that you selected, but the display is showing the previous book. 
    - Once you hear (not see) the book you want to test with, hit <enter>.  DE will open the book and start to read using VO.  At this point the screen and audio for the first page in the book are the same. 
    - Once the book has been opened by DE - Using the right arrow key navigate to the next page in the pdf/book.  Normally the right arrow key is the short cut to allow a user to move forward or backwards thru a book, one page at a time. 
    - With DE and VO - what happens is that VO responds to the right arrow key and starts to read the next page.  But the screen is still showing the previous page.  Hence the screen and the VO audio are out of sync. 
    - For anyone that uses MAC VO - this will prevent them from using Adobe DE 1.8.
    If I am doing something incorrect - please let me know. If you need any assistance or further information regarding this issue - please email me. 
    Best Regards
    Mike R

    hi, Mike R:
         Thanks for your information. We have tested several Mac machines, iMac and MBP (use the same version as yours). But we can't reproduce the issue. Actually working with VoiceOver is a fundamental request for our application, we did test them before releasing the build.
         We suggest you test other applications, e.g. Finder, Preview and iTunes, to make sure if VoiceOver works fine with them. Or can you please check if your VoiceOver settings are correct?

    Have you tried resetting the iPad?
    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.

  • I have one doubts, Why does the screen go out automatically in way rest and activate when pressing any does key?

    I am a little scared, since for one week I received to the new Macbook Pro 13 i7, and does few days was working of strange way, since it was beginning to extinguish automatically the screen at any time and any key activates when pressing to enter the open session. I want to know if something is being put rare or is normal, or if desbalanceé the adjustment of economizer or screen or whatever it appears in the panel of system preferences. I have reestablished them almost all, but the problem persists.
    I need aid. I do not want that it passes nothing to him and that everything is working well.
    I will be thankful for its answers to them. Especially to the technical support

    I belive that upgrade to 10.8.4 has troubles.
    After this my macbook pro started to go to sleep even that I was working with it.
    This morning it became too much. I had worked fine in the evening and this morning the keyboard would not response. Each keypress made sound an evel "click sound".
    I ended up needing to reboot the computer.

  • Why does the speaker in my IPAD 3 stop working intermittently?

  • Why does the screen "wash out" with the statement "Firefox is not responding" This happens at least once in each session.

    I am not sure what more details I can provide. Suddenly, the cursor for the mouse will freeze, the screen washes out. You can still see the underlying webpage faintly. After a few seconds, the problem corrects itself and Firefox resumes normal operation. This happens with the new Firefox 4 as well as the previous version.
    It is major annoyance.

    My situation got worse. FF 3.6.12 started doing that; then it just stopped loading. Since then, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, moved my profile to force it to make new one, set it so that it is not the default browser, installed in different drive on computer, cleaned out regedit, ran a spyware program, & nothing. It starts to load then hangs up almost immediately. This has been going on for about 3 days & I'm about ready to chunk it. Any ideas?

  • When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

    When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

    Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
    However, first, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
