Iphone 4s will not shut down.  Constant reboot unless powered.  I have done a full restore (losing half my apps) that helped for a while but now back to the same problem

My iphone 4s will not shut down?  Please help??

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

  • HT1414 iPhone 4 will not shut down

    I am trading in an old iPhone 4 for a new 5S. I have reset the phone to its original settings, now phone will not shut down. When I hold the power button it shows me slide to power off and it appears to shut down, but then it reboots again. When I hold down power button and home button it reboots it but still won't shut down. I have read about plugging it into computer to upload it, but new iPhone 5 is already set up on the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    This is caused by short circiut of the iPhone charging port. Clean the iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If this does not fix it, the replacement part is the charging port assembly with flex cable, lower mic, and home button flex connector, all a single less than $10 part.

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4s will not shut down and wont play sound on you tube

    My iPhone 4s is experiencing two issues.
    1.  it will not shut down, restarts on its own after a few seconds,
    2. and it loses sound on videos and apps intermittently - even when sound on apps comes back, there is no sound on any you tube videos
    I have tried hard reset, software upgrade, and various setting changes I read about in a thread online for the sounds issue, nothing has worked.

    We tried the home sleep button several times with the same, that is, no result.
    The thing with the WiFi apparently is not that uncommon a problem as the Apple web site mentionen the method I described to remedy the problem.  Again, it did not fix the issue.
    Thanks for the reply but ee still are at sea.

  • Mac Pro Will not Shut Down or Reboot

    Just received a new Mac Pro 3 ghz yesterday. Whenever I choose shutdown or restart the computer will not shut down. Everything goes away except for the desktop pattern. The mouse can still be moved but it never finishes the shutdown process or restart. I have to hold down the power button on the front of the computer to get it to shut off. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance!

    Call Apple.
    Make sure that you don't have any USB device that didn't come with the system, that you are using the power cord that it came with.
    I have yet to run Apple Hardware Test, but you might want to do that now while on hold. I think it uses "D" startup key, or try Option key.
    And if you installed any software, or was it like this the very first time? Importing any PPC applications, startup items, tasks, etc., anything other than just prefs and data files?

  • My iPhone 4s will not shut down

    My wife's iPhone 4s will not allow her to turn on WiFi.  She has gone to settings> General >Rest network settings but the WiFi button is still gray.
    All our other iPhones, iPads etc. can access our network.
    If that was not bad enough she CANNOT shut it down.  She has reset it several times but when she tries to shut down she sees that spinning gear symbol and it turns back on.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

    Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
    You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

  • Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! STILL PERSISTS!

    My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
    When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black.
    I searched the forums and tried the suggested fixes: trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot.
    Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
    HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    this worked for a couple of cycles then the problem retuned/
    Hey, Mac geniuses and wizards - what is going wrong with my macboo

    Have you ever waited and let it do it's thing? I was ready to force mine to quit the other day after waiting 2-3 minutes, and all of sudden, it shut down. I restarted it and then shut it down again. This time it was normal.
    Try this yet before doing an Archive and Install.
    1. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.
    2. Use a utility like Onyx to clean your system cache out, including your kernel cache. The computer will restart slow right after that, but I keep rebooting the computer about 3 times in a row, and I'm back up to speed.

    Hi jkherman.
    I am having a similar problem.  I shut down iTunes and then shut off my computer (MBP 13", 2.9 GHz i7, OS X 10.9).
    When I reboot, iTunes appears to be running, however the window is not visible, but the icon is lit from underneath in my dock and iTunes is running when I check the Activity Monitor.
    Also, it will not shut down from the dock icon.  I need to go into Force Quit to shut it down.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

  • Ipad2 will not shut down

    Went to reboot my IPAD 2 and will not shut down, the ICON ( wheel) just keeps spinning. What's up with this?

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick 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.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • MacBook will not Shut Down or Restart

    My MacBook will not shut down or restart from the apple menu, nor from any other dialog box that pops up, after an update, for instance. The only way I can turn it off/restart is by using the power button. I have tried archiving and installing OS X, but I am still having this problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hi Henry,
    Help here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    Second, make sure you have all your updates. Click the Apple logo in the Menu then click Software Updates.
    Reset PRAM by holding option-command-P-R keys down during startup until you hear the chime at least three or four times.
    Resetting the PRAM is a standard procedure for the problem you are experiencing.
    Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. DU is located here:
    Applications/Utilities. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU and reboot.
    If you need further assistance, please post back.

  • I-phone 4 froze after an update, will not shut down and sends all calls to voicemail. Apple logo is the only screen that I get, is there anything I can do?

    I-PHONE 4 FROZE AFTER AN UPDATE, WILL NOT SHUT DOWN AND SENDS ALL CALLS TO VOICEMAIL, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.
