3gs wont turn off or restart, but will sleep after the minute that is set on my auto-lock

Has this ever happen to any one?

You could try holding the Home button and the on/off buttonfor 10 seconds, which should do a hard reset, unless obviously you've already tried that.
Eventually the phone will run out of battery and will obviously automatically turn off. When this happens you can try and turn it on again (after plugging it in to charge) and see if the phone turns on and off ok.

  • Wont turn off or restart

    my friend just called me in a panic saying herm power book went to sleep when she was at school and when she came home it wont turn on or restart even when you take the battery out.

    Well, if there is no power than how is it going to start? With the battery in & the power cable plugged in, try to turn it on. When the powerbook goes to sleep and the battery runs out, it'll still be on but you won't be able to wake the computer up because there just isn't enough power. But, when this happens, you can plug in the power cord then press the power button in order to wake it up. If what I said doesn't work, then there is probably a bigger issue.

  • I have an ipad1 and would like to update to to 5.1 but no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update to newer versions?

    I no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update?

    You have no choice but to use iTunes on a computer if you want to update. You can update on any computer running iTunes, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back the iPad up on that computer, restore from the backup when you are done updating and then download all of your content again.

  • New Mac keeps crashing. Computer just turns off and restarts. Can happen in 10 minutes or a few hour

    Computer keeps crashing. Took it back to authorized seller and they changed the ram, but continues to crash. Will be in the middle of any program and screen will black out,go back to restart. Very confusing as it's top of the line iMac.
    This all started when my phone carrier remotely accessed my computer though to fix an unrelated problem.
    Could this be the glitch?

    Computer and OS info, please. Then, provide a crash report.

    recently there has been a turquoise/ red horizontal line that appeared on my screen. i turned my iPod off but the line appeared again after about 5 minutes...how do i get rid it?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates that you have a hardware porblem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I turn off geo-locator? I have done the fix that I found but it doesn't work - what else can I do?

    I have done this and turned it to false (hope that's right)
    • In the URL bar, type about:config
    • Type geo.enabled
    • Double click on the geo.enabled preference
    • Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
    But google is still putting me at a location unsuitable for my browsing requirements. I want to browse .co.uk not .fr. for business as well as personal. Please help it is very time consuming even when I type .co.uk google changes it back to .fr
    Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

    "Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.<br />
    Otherwise a reverse DNS look up of your IP is used and that is usually not very accurate.<br />
    Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.<br />

  • My Firefox crashed on starting, & I sent a report. I started again, but does not recognize the password that I set for it some weeks ago. What do I do now?

    I have check for a virus, via AVG; none found on a scan of the whole computer.
    I have called up Firefox at least twice to reach UWO & its Convergence pgm to get my mail. Convergence asks for my security password. I have entered it very carefully several times on two separate tries of Convergence, & it is not recognized. The only thing unusual that has happened is the Firefox crash immediately before I called up Convergence. I think this password is a Firefox thing, required whenever the site wants a password.
    What do I do now?

    Firefox shouldn't require to enter a password to start, so if you need one then you may not have the official version from the Mozilla servers.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.

  • MY MAC WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI BUT WILL CONNECT TO OTHERS

    My imac wont connect to my wifi but will connect to the person downstairs from me. it works once and a while but never for more then a few mins...could it have something to do with the router?

    Hello Trey,
    Without knowing anything about your WiFI system, my opinion is that your wifi signal is either, weaker than your downstairs neighbor, or more likely, your wi fi system is suffering from interference.  The first thing you should do is change the channel it is operating on.  See if that helps.  
    I tend to think it is not the router, but can only offer a guess, since you did not describe your system.

  • IPhone won't turn off and won't sync even after I plug in my computer.

    My iPhone started acting odd after my husband updated it to iOS5.  It started with when I touch the apps, it responded with delay.  Today, when I want to check my email.  The app just simply not responding to any touch on the screen.  I tried to turn off to restart, but it won't turn off.  So I plug in my computer try to sync see if that can somehow makes it "budge".  I successfully upload the new photos from iPhone to my MacBookPro, but after that, it won't "sync".  The "sync" bottom on the itune page stay "gray".  I cannot click on it.  What should I do?

    Try a Reset...
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons..
