Hello,
My iPad 2 does not want to lock. This is not a hardware problem because if I keep the sleep/wake button pressed I am propted to "Swipe to power off". If I enable assistive touch and select "Lock Screen" nothing happens. I have restored it 3-4 times know it is running iOS 6.1.3 not jailbroken. I have not been able to find my solution anywhere. I am just really confused because it worked before I updated.
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
all you guys need to do is to Turn off the iPad Cover Lock/Unlock option off which you can find by going to Settings/General/iPad Cover Lock
Hope this helps
I believe this is what he means by cover lock. It isn’t a complete fix but it did work for me, however I don’t have a magnetic case for my iPad. Hope this helps someone. Good Luck.
I don't have cover lock option on mine and I'm experiencing this same problem. I've reset the entire iPad without success. Right now the software I have is iOS 9.3.5.
Same issue here too. No recent software updates. This appeared after a hard reboot for me. After a lock + home button reboot. Older iPad 2. Lock button works to turn off. Lock button works to take screenshot. Lock button does not work for locking screen. Assistive Touch lock button behaves exactly like hardware button. Assistive touch lock button does not lock screen.
Hi fatshaq426 did u get this problem sorted as I've got the same issue
Sorry, Nothing yet. I just have it set to Auto lock after 2 min and thats the best I can do so far
I have the same problem, I got the latest version of the Ipad Mini 2. The "LOCK" is the only problem in here. Turning off and taking screen shoots using the locked button is still functioning but the only problem is, it won't lock except waiting 2 minutes until the screen shut off. We really need a solution with this problem, APPLE service please reply to your customers.😢
iPad 2 won't lock, button or assistive touch
