Apple TV won't turn off

Yesterday I did the latest update for Apple TV and know it won't turn off.

I am at a loss for why this was done. I have never accidentally turned off my Apple TV. I use mine a lot for playing music through my stereo. After selecting my playlist, I press play and turn the TV off. I do not turn the TV back on before trying to turn the unit off. With this new 'feature', I have taken to just hitting pause and pulling the plug. The unit generates too much heat to leave in standby.
it has been done as pressing and holding play/pause whilst playing media will bring up the playlist sub-menu.
pulling the plug all the time will most likely result in your appletv having a shorter life-span, and may even trash your HDD if it doing something at the time when you pull the plug.

Apple TV won't turn off after 2.2 update

I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem after the new update.
After updating to the new 2.2 software......I am now unable to turn the device off. I used to just hold the center button down for 5-6 seconds and it would turn off. I didn't want to leave it on all the time since I only use it once or twice a week. But now.......doing the same thing has no effect on it at all. Is this happening to anyone else ? I know a lot of people just leave it on all the time, and I guess I could do that as well. Hahaha.......... seems I don't have any choice now. Is this a new feature that comes with the 2.2 software ?

Because of Genius and another feature, the ability to put the AppleTV into standby has changed. Either you can go to the main menu and press Play/Pause for 6 seconds (like you used to, but only works from main menu), or you can go into Settings where there is a new StandBy option that can be selected.

IPhone 6 plus stuck with apple logo, won't turn off!

I got my new iPhone 6 plus today. I set it up as a new phone I couldn't restore from backup as I needed iOS 8.1 to restore the backup of my 5s.
So after upgrading to 8.1 I reset my 6 plus to restore the backup and now its stuck on the apple logo.
I can't turn it off to get it into recovery mode, I've tried holding the home and power buttons, the device appears to restart, after a few minutes it flashes on a red screen for a split second then its back to the apple logo. I've restarted multiple times and same thing keeps happening.
iTunes won't recognise the device so I'm really at a loss to what I can do from here. Can't get into my local Apple genius bar until Wednesday and I'd really like it sorted before that.
Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Hi there thatgurlwho,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device isn't booting past the Apple Logo.

I reset my 3Gs, but now all I get is the Apple icon. It won't turn off or anything. Is it bricked? What is bricked? How do I fix it please. Can anyone help me please.

Hi, I've just appear to have deleted my iphone and now all I'm getting is the Apple icon.
It won't turn off or anything. I have tried holding in the off button and home button together,
but the icon goes and comes back again. It won't connect to Itunes, as the device is not showing
up. Can anyone HELP PLEASE. I think I need to reload Iphone back onto the device.

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I don't think you have a case.

My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off. The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen. It won't turn off and won't come completely on. Anyone know what is wrong?

See if this lets the iPad start up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
Please help me..

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?). I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something).
It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to. (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath. When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen. So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
I have tried to turn it off, with no luck. I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

My ipod touch is disabled and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize the device and i can't see the serial number on the back

My NOSY (now ex) husband did something to my ipod touch and it is now disabled. It was dead and I charged it and NOW the sucker won't turn off. When I connect to itunes i see a message that says i have to UNLOCK it with a passcode. I tried to get apple support but they want my serial number. Well...the ipod wont turn on!!! I've had it at least 6 years and have moved and I can't find my paperwork and WHO can read that serial number on the back? I know its kind of outdated (third generation, I believe)but its mine, I love it and it has ALL my music on it.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

The Find my iPhone service option is given to you when you first set up the device. If you just reset it, you may have been given that option. So, in other words, the service may have been enabled even if you didn't realize it. You can then go to www.icloud.com and click on Find my iPhone, and have it play a sound. Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I've tried the reset method, holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either. Help ??

I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted). All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

IMac G4 won't turn off

hey, my iMac G4 won't turn off. When I select "Shut Down" from the Apple menu, nothing happens. If I press 'OptionShift+CommandS' nothing happens. Each time I want to turn off my computer I have to manually hit the power switch, which I'm sure isn't too good for it.
Any advice?

nevermind, I fixed it, there was some kind of stupid option to disable the shutdown & restart buttons in the Apple menu, I must have done this w/o realizing it. Oh well, at least this debacle reminded me to run a system scan w/ techtools

My mini suddenly won't turn off

I'm not sure if I accidentally splashed a teeny bit of water on it (ugh!!) but tonight I can't get it to work right. It won't turn off when I push the off button and it seems to haphazardly go from "music" to "songs" and is just not working correctly. Is there a reset button anywhere on the mini or am I screwed?
Thanks
Jamie

To reset your iPod mini:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step
