Can't shut off my iPad2 (reboots instead)

ever since the 5.1.1 "upgrade" my iPad has had several issues. A big one is that I can no longer shut off my iPad. Whenever I try to power it off it just reboots. I have probably done 50 hard reboots fixing several issues (volume only works about 50% of time as well). Any suggestions?

I'm having a similar issue. However, my iPad 2 will stay off if power is supplied to it (either the wall charger or trickle charge from my laptop).
If I cut off supply of power, the iPad 2 immediately powers on.
And I've tried the home/sleep button combo and factory restoring (several times). Nothing resolved the issue. The battery seems fine as I'm getting 8+ hours of use.
Any assistance is appreciated.

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
Help!
Thanks,

How can i close my iPad and restarted it ?

Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and see if it restarts.

Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4s and still use it with a wifi connection ?

Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4 and then use the phone as normal

I assume that you're asking if you can shut off cellular data (as no individual can shut off the Internet! )? Yes, you can turn off cellular data and use the phone features (except for MMS which requires cellular data) and access the Interenet via WiFi.

I have this same issue and I have tried doing as you suggested but it won't let me do that withought shutting off FIND MY IPHONE- but I can't turn it off without entering my old password for an old apple id. ....so thoughts?
You're saying this is happening on a Mac?? Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs. If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I can't get rid of a "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2. Can't close it and can't access settings. Can't shut off the device either. It's just locked up. What can I do?

How can I get rid of the "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2? It won't go away, I can't cancel it, I can't access settings, and I can turn off the IPad to reboot. It is just locked up.

Reboot the device.
Shut down the device by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

I can't shut off or open any of my pps on my ipad

When I go to shut off my ipad, it will not let me slide to shut off. I ask Siri to open something on the web and there I can move things and tap on things. I go to my home screen and I can't open any apps. I was hoping to be able to shut ths off and reboot, but I can't. Is there any other way to reboot this??

Hello Donatafromny,
If you're unable to turn off your iPad, you can try resetting it by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see a silver Apple on the screen.

Ipad 3 shuts off, freezes and reboots

My ipad has begun randomly shutting off, and when it comes back on it tries to reboot the whole system. Then it freezes at other times. I can't depend on it since I never know when this will happen. I've tried everything apple says to do and wiped it clean and rebooted the thing myself and still it does the same thing. Anyone know what I can do besides sell it for parts?

You tried recovery mode and that didn't help?
iPad: Unable to update or restore - Support - Apple
If you restored using recovery mode, there really isn't anything else that you can do on your own. If you make an appointment at an Apple Store, they might be able to restore the device and getting it working properly again. From what I've read a couple of times here in the forum, they possess more sophisticated means of restoring than we have.

How do you shut off I Pad with full shut off and then reboot it as I keep getting an error message that I cannot connect with I Tunes Store

How does one shut off and reboot an I Pad? I think you have to hold button to the right for several or more seconds until a red arrow appears. I am not sure and I want to resume my connection to I tunes store and heard this is the best way for them to get back to me with certain info.

Thanks. I tried every method to reconnect to the I Tunes store since the error was cannot connect and I could not update or download apps, even tho the I Pad worked fine otherwise. When it re booted and re set the I tunes store message popped up and asked me for some credit card and other info. When they got it I was back in business and apps could download as before. I tried every other suggestion online and this was my last chance and it worked great. My router had to be re set the other day by turning it off and then on, and that's when all this started happening. Probably changed the I Tunes setting but I never thought it would affect the IPad in any way since all my othe computers worked just fine.
Again, many thanks.

Can I shut off auto-correct when typing text messages

When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects. Is there a way to shut this feature off?

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard
