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 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.

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.

Ipod "Click" sound when plug into the Computer

Hi All,
My Ipod harddrive clicked periodically when plugged into the computer which never happen before. I can hear the harddrive spin sound but periodically sound clicked in the harddrive.
Just wondering if anyone experienced this problem before?
Any suggestion how to fixed it? Is the warranty cover this kind of problem as well?
THanks for all reply

Yeah I think so.. Some of the update fixed some problem but some of them make them worse and i hate when apple didnt give the search function on Ipod with video 1st generation
Just hope my ipod has no problem regarding this issue.

There is a delay when I hit the spacebar, and it only happens in Firefox. Is there a way to fix this?

When I type anything in Firefox like an e-mail, spaces do not register immediately when I hit the spacebar, and it slows down my typing tremendously. I just installed Firefox today, and I had never had this problem before. I tested it in both my word processing program and in Internet Explorer, and there was no delay in either program, so I know it has to be a glitch with the FF program. Is there a way to fix this?
Also, sometimes when I would tap the mousepad to click a link, the screen would just scroll/jump to the bottom of that page instead of going to the next page. It did this on every attempt to click the link (I was reading a message in e-mail and was trying to go to my inbox, but it wouldn't let me).

Okay, I found the solution. I simply restarted my computer, and the problem has gone away...so far.

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.

I have a problem when i close the prgram and i open it agin it open on the page which i closed at it

when i close firefox at any page and also when i close my pc and then i open the program i find it open on last page which i closed at ,, although i made home page for it to open at and it doesn't make the order

Check in preferences > general > Startup: Do you have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected? If so change to "Show my home page" (or blank page).
Note: this may happen when quitting Firefox, and you inadvertently click "Save and Quit" and select "Do not ask next time".

HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out. When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens. The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping. Help, thanks!

Macbook Pro:
When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out. If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens. It is sometimes necessary to force quit. Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

Hi ...
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Clicking sound when I press the top of screen near the front camera.

I bought an iphone 6 plus 3 weeks ago and after I used 7days, I found when I press the top of screen, I can hear something like clicking. Then I contact Apple and sent it back. After 1 week, they returned it back and said there was no problem. After I received it, I didn't even activate it, just pressed, the sound was back. Not only this, they made a deep scratch on the left top of back. I was so angry and I contacted them again and took a video. They told me to send it to apple support again. And today, they emailed me, said this is a normal behavior for iphone 6 and 6 plus, I will receive it tomorrow. It really xxxxed me. What can I do now? No way to express replacement, no way to repair. Please help me out, guys!!!!!

It is hard to tell from your description if you have a real defect. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple store and discuss/show it to them.

Why is there a blue balloon when i send a text and sometimes a green one whats the difference

why is there a blue balloon in the text message when sent. It used to be green what's the difference please Teresa

A green one means the message is sent via your telecomprovider, just like in previous iOS versions.
A blue one means the message is sent via a data connection (a bit like whatsapp for instance). This is done when both you and the recipient have iOS5. If you're on a wifi connection, it should not cost you any money/credit with you telecomprovider.

Why do i hear no sound when playing songs with headphones and without?

all of a sudden i can't hear any song i play, using the headphones and not using the headphones. I've done the hard reboot three times, turned on and off my itunes icloud, then back on. Still no sound when playing music.
Any solution?

i wish it were that simple (mute button)
Everyone I work with is having the same problem, presently Apple's Music Match is not working.
I certainly hope they will be able to fix this as soon as possible.

Even though I set "Use custom settings for history" when I close the window and recheck it has set itself back to "Rember History"..why?

I am having trouble getting the settings to stay and can't figure out why...no matter what I do it just resets every time back to the
"Remember History" and it won't save passwords on some of my sites.

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" choice if all the history and cookie setting are the default.<br />
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected.<br />
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab.<br />
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.<br />
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Record locks created when user closes the Browser and not the Web Form

Hi. We sometimes encounter the issue where a user updates a record, locking the record on the table, but then they unexpectedly closes the browser without saving by clicking the X in the upper-right of the browser window. Then when another user comes along and attempts to edit that record they get the message Unable to Reserve Record. The orphaned record lock eventually does seem to clear itself out, but that can often take 15-20 minutes.
Is there any way to speed this up? Or to pragmatically keep this from occurring? Either on the database side or with some code in a particular application?
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

If a user closes the browser window the forms runtime on the application server holding the locks is in most cases still up and running. The FORMS_TIMEOUT controls on how long a forms runtime on the server is up and running without the client applet not sending a heartbeat (See MOS note 549735.1). By default this is 15 minutes which would explain your locks being held 15 minutes.
You could decrease the FORMS_TIMEOUT in the default.env, so the forms runtimes get cleaned earlier and thus the locks get released earlier.
Note that if you have blocking client_hostcalls with webutil this might be a problem, as it prevents the forms applet from sending the heartbeat and after the FORMS_TIMEOUT passed while the forms applet is blocked the forms runtime on the server gets closed.
cheers

How can I get my desktop page to open when I close the browser and then re open it?

when I click the red x to close the browser, when I come back to open the browser later, the last page I was viewing. last session opens, even all other tabs behind it, instead of my google page (my home page)? can this be fixed) I know I can just click the google word in the search bar, but should not have to do this!
