Likely a hardware issue... no way around that except to get it repaired or don't use it (the button).
Try restoring to solve the switching off problem.

  • HT4053 How do I delete photos, the delete button does not appear to be working?

    I have downloaded all my photos to my new IPad. I need to delete some I do not want, how do I do it. The delete button does not appear to be working?

    I personally don't know of any other software that does syncing, however, you can use another cloud service like Dropbox or Flikr to house your photos, add and delete them and have them available for viewing on any device or comuter that has an internet connection.
    I'm not sure why you would be having trouble not getting photos that you put into your Photo Stream Uploads folder on your iPad. Photo Stream is Photo Stream. Also, just so you know, photo management and Photo Stream have nothing to do with iTunes. Photo management on the computer is done through your photos folder and app (on a Mac, it's iPhoto). You only use iTunes to tell the sync process which items to retrieve and sync from that library. Photo Stream is completely independent of iTunes altogether.
    If you want to get photos from a camera to your iPad without having to use a computer, get a camera connection kit which will allow you to physically hook the camera to the iPad, and to directly download the photos from the camera to the iPad.
    You would still want to also hook the camera up to the computer to back those photos up to your photo library on your computer.
    Also you might want to look into purchasing (for under $5) iPhoto for your iPad:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8
    Seems like you might benefit from talking to your local Apple Store about when they might have some sessions for learning photo management and sharing between your device and computer, because what you appear to be wanting to do is all do-able. I guess I'm just missing what your issue is. You can many things with photos on your iPad, however, your device will never be a substitue for your computer for backing up and managing your photos.
    So, best of luck, I hope one of the suggestions above will help you to achieve what you are trying to do.

    I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

  • Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone.  The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • The off button does not switch to 'hibernate' or lock when playing music.

    The off button does not switch to 'hibernate' or lock when playing music. I have to hold the off button down
    for a prolonged period of time to get it to switch off; have had to resort to holding the off button and the main
    button simultaneously to reset but no improvement.

    - First try restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
    - If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - If still a problem than you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi Tamas! Does this mean that in SAP_BASIS 740 level 05 HTML is disabled and button never appears? Do you have any note or link where talk about it? I just need to access HTML for comparison with Silverlight.
    thank you very much!

    To make sure that all required media is in the library contain the project you need to "Consolidate media"  see:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351
    You can then copy the library to your laptop with the Finder and open it with the same version of iMovie.  The last phrase is important since Apple has made changes in the project format several times even between minor updates of iMovie 10.  Earlier versions may not be able to read the library and later versions (not possible in this case) may cause the project to be updated so that it is no longer readable by the desktop version.   iMovie on the laptop will not at first find the copied library - you will have either to double click on it or File - Open library - Other and navigate to its location.

  • Reset firefox button does not appear in Troubleshooting information. Not even in safe mode. Every time I shut down computer firefox loses my profile.

    As stated above, firefox loses my profile every time I restart the computor. I have created new profiles and changed the location and changed it back again to no avail. I now want to just restart firefox in default mode but the default button does not appear, not even in safe mode.

    Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that there have been several reboots involved during the troubleshooting.
    I am running Firefox in an admin level account in this case - so, there shouldn't be any permission issues there.
    I have tried shutting down both the desktop firewall software, and the anti-virus, and the problem still persists exactly as described. (Obviously, I disconnected the system when I did that [smile].)
    All other software on the system that I have tried, interacts with the file dialog just fine ... so, I don't think it is anything central like some corruption associated with the file dialog itself.
    As I said, it is most perplexing.

    The download button does not appear when I try to download Flash Player on my MacBook Pro.  I'm using Firefox.  I uninstalled Flash Player yesterday and can't download the newest version 11.6.602.180 today, help!

  • "Send" button does not appear

    When I compose a new message, the Send button does not appear in the header. It works normally when replying to another message. I can compose a new message, but all I can do is save it as a draft. The connection doctor shows everything is normal, and there have been no changes to account preferences. What is going on?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello redcedar,
    You must have resolved your no send button problem by now, or at least know what the problem was. I have the same problem and I can't find the answer anywhere. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
