Cannot unlock via slide function

Can anyone help please ?
I cannot unlock my phone or answer when ringing
Cannot reboot as the button on the top right has not worked for ages

I can't slide to unlock either, I've managed to re-install the software after itunes initially said there was a problem, so I continued holding down the home and on/off buttons about 10 times and itunes suddenly opened and let me re-boot.
Is this a problem with the screen does anyone know? There are no cracks or even scratches on it (I have it coccooned in a felt pocket I love it that much) so I'm at a loss as to what to do now.
Help!

  • I cannot unlock or switch off my iPad, the slider doesn't function. Solutions?

    The slider doesn't function, therfore i cannot unlock or switch off my iPad has anyone a solution?

    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.

  • Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, slides to right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon

    I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, recently used icons appear. It slides to the right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon.

    You swipe up from the very bottom of your home screen to access the control center - if your on IOS 7
    The way your trying was the old way.

    Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, release and wait for it to restart.

    Have you tried a reset To see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT201412 How can I restart my iphone 4s if the screen 'slide to unlock' or 'slide to power off' doesn't work? Do i have to let the battery run out?

    My daughters 4s has frozen. Displays the 'slide to unlock' message but is unresponsive.
    Online help says resart device but I can't power off as the slide function does not work.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

    Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

    Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

  • Trying to create a slide function..

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a table of contents that can slide off the left side about 6 inches and will still show my main page beside it. I saw a slide function in one of the  DPS videos, but cannot seem to find it. My other option is creating a HTML web content file, and placing that in the indesign file..
    Any idea what my easiest route may be?
    Thanks

    Thanks Bob, found it. I'm not sure if I should mention this here or start another thread. Please move it if need be. I created the slide out menu. I have made my folio as a pdf. When I slide out the table of contents (which is what my slide out button is) all the text is rasterized and blurry. Do you know why this is? It is all set in Indesign, therefore should be crisp. I used the scrollable frame function to make the slider, and I see I have options in the folio overlay to export format in PDF articles in vector or raster. I tried both of them, and they both are blurry...
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.

  • I cannot unlock my iPhone 4S

    Hey there, I have a huge problem.
    I cannot unlock my iPhone 4S, because I cannot slide. The touchscreen works though, I do can pull up the control center or the upper thing where you can see all the messages you got and so, but when I try to tap on something on there, nothing happens. The assistent touch also works.
    Siri doesn't work even though my home button is working.
    I cannot turn off my phone, because the upper button is broken.
    My phone neither fell down nor knocked against something or things like that, it happened pretty much out of the nowhere.
    What is wrong and what can I do?
    I hope you could understand this, I am from Germany so I do not know all the English words.
    Thank you!
    Marie

    Hi Marie,
    Do you have a backup of your phone on iTunes? Can you try to Restore the phone to the backup. It is a 50/50 chance and it will possibly fix any software related issues.
    Follow these steps to restore your phone from backup using iTunes:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.
    Hope this is of some assistance.

  • New slide function and working with proxies

    I just added a new page to my 10.1.2 features to include new slide functions and also how to work with proxies in the latest version.

    You need to run software update AFTER you connect the keyboard.
    You will then get an update which makes the keys work on the Macbook pro.
    I am running it on MBP 2.4 (latest).
    I cannot get it to work though on iBook G4 800Mhz. Posted thread already on that forum.

  • My iphone 6 is disabled because of incorrect passcode but my apple account isn't activated yet so I cannot reset via itunes

    +Do a DFU recovery:+
    +1. Open iTunes.+
    +2. Connect the iPhone+
    +3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
    +4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
    +5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
    If not, take it down to mobile dealers that can reset your phone for you. All data will be lost.
