Why doesn't my iPad turnoff when I close the cover with ios 7?

With the new ios 7, my cover no longer turns off my iPad when I close it.  It's the only reason I bought the stupid thing.  Is there a way to turn teh feature back on?

I was having this problem after using a Logitech solar bluetooth keyboard pad while travelling only with an iPad. The magnet on the Logitech is only marginally strong enough and you have to be careful to get the alignment of the closed cover correct to switch off, so it may have been flicking between switching off and not switching off. After a while it stopped switching off at all and when on my return, I reverted to the normal Apple cover, the switch off was not working on that either, even though it was turned on in General Settings. I did a "reset all" in General, followed by a reboot and that has cured the problem, both with the Apple and Logitech covers.

  • Why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    Hi katesvca,
    I too have an iPad smart cover, and all that clicking sound is is basically the standard lock sound for iOS. The Smart cover is equipped with magnets inside, and the iPad is also equipped with magnets, and when those magnets are closed together the iPad goes to sleep.
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • Ipad takes photo every time I close the cover of its case. When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding.

    When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding. It is just gobbling memory and annoying as I can only delete these pictures one at a time.

    It seems to take a picture of the counter top = I do not see the keyboard.
    I am wondering ....It may be a kids game app that takes pictures of the screen or out the back camera. I am starting to think it may just be a sound effect when placing the iPad on its screen. So many things that may be unrelated but coincedental. It started in May (the sound) and so did the multiple pictures - starting to think they are not related.
    Thanks for the quick tip on deleting multiple pictures.

  • I am running OSX Lion 10.7.4 and the computer no longer will go into sleep mode when I close the cover What happened with this option?

    I am running OSX Lion 10.78.4 and the computer will no longer go into sleep mode when I close the cover. In system preferences I can no longer find the option that allows for this energy saving feature. What happened to this option and why is this no longer happening with the latest version of Lion?

    No external monitors or devices attached. When you mention that this function only works when devices are attached that is true when you set up your preferences that way. Up until my upgrade to Lion the computer would always go into sleep mode when I closed the lid. There also used to be an option to check in system preferences that allowed you to choose this option. My question for the discussion is what happened to that option and how do you get the computer to sleep or at least the display to sleep when you close the lid as we have been able to do in the past. Thanks.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing when I close the lid on my laptop?

    I am playing iTunes on my Vista laptop and my setting are 'do nothing' for both powered and battery use, but when I close the lid iTunes stops playing music. Does anyone know why and how I stop it? Please don't say "don't close the lid..." Thanks.

    You have your answer... there is no way to stop iTunes from stopping playing music when the lid is closed.
    You can try adjusting the power settings, but if that's not working...there is no way for iTunes to override it.

  • Why does play stop when I close the Podcasts app - IOS 6

    Whenever I leave the Podcasts app to answer an email, text, open Safari, etc., the podcast stops playing.  This effectively stops me from using any other application on my phone, unless I want to also stop listening to the podcast.  It won't continue playing in the background like the Music app did.  Of course, this is an IOS 6 issue.
    Ridiculous!!!
    Am I missing something here?

    I had the same problem the first night and my head almost exploded as playing podcasts is what my iphone is doing 95% of the time. I was also experiencing a lack of control not being able to jump back or ahead which was maddening. However, the next morning, after syncing the phone with my iTunes (on a MacBook Pro) all of this functionality was there, including the ability to have the podcasts continue when exiting the app and the ability to control them with an inline remote on my earbuds.
    Hopefully, this problem has already resolved itself for you. Unfortunately, it is my understanding that there still is no option for playlists at this time.

  • Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

    When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
    I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
    I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
    After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
    I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
    Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
    Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
    Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
    Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
    My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
    Any ideas at all?
    Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
    Thank you thank you thank you.

    Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
    I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
    1 pizza crust of your choice
    olive oil
    8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
    1 medium tomato
    6 large cloves of fresh garlic
    4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
    fresh or dried basil
    For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
    Oven 350
    Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
    Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
    Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
    Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

  • There used to be a special feature on the previouse versions of Firefox. when you close the firefox with multiple tabs opened it displays an option of saving it or closing without saving. but this version specially the 7th doesnot have that.

    specially version 3.6 is good on saving the tabs before closing the firefox. but the latest versions should have had more that just this but it doesnt support the saving tabs or may be i didnt see it there. please if it has this feature let me know.
    the other thing is the norton toolbar 2011.7.1.3 is incompatible with firefox 7.

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

    When I close the screen on my MBP it goes to sleep. Does the new O.S. enable me to set it so it does nothing?

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Normally, no. You can run in lid-closed mode if you are using an external display and an external keyboard/mouse. This is supported by Apple:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    Lid-closed sleep can be disabled with commands in Terminal, or you can use 3rd party software like SleepLess or InsomniaX. These run under OS X, I am not aware of any solutions under Windows through Parallels (however, since in that case OS X is still running, they would work as intended).
    Note that running lid-closed can potentially lead to heat issues, since air for cooling is drawn in through the keyboard.
    Hope this helps...

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
    It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
    iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2

  • Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

         But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
          So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
    Does the same thing happen to you guys??
    btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue.  Everything used to just work.  I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad). 
    My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
    Let me know if you find a fix.

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.
