Disabled on/off button.

The on/off button on my ipad2 has stopped working. There has been no trauma to the device. This is the button in the upper right of the device.
When I press it once it does not turn off the display. When I press it along with the home button (round button at bottom center) it no longer captures a screen shot. When I press and hold it down the slide to turn off the device does not appear. When I hold both the on/off button and the home button for an extended time (over 60 seconds) it does not reset. I let the device battery drain completely and when I recharged the device the on/off button was still disabled.
Any ideas?

Try this, however, it's primarily for software problems. - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Is it possible to disable turning off iphone/ipad with the button?

Is there a way to disable a theft from turning a stolen iphone or ipad off. Maybe make it require a password to turn off, is this possible? I love the way the devices are trackable if they are stolen but a theft can just push the off button, or erase everything by holding the home and off button.

I can imagine with the many posts here asking about what to do when their Passcode Lock or Restrictions Passcode is forgotten when someone is unable to power their iPhone off if there were a passcode requirement option to do so.
On an airplane and instructed to power the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch off before takeoff and landing and the password to do so is forgotten, or the battery is about to die with no power source available to charge and the password to power the iPhone is forgotten.

Disable "Power on" and "Power off" buttons in VM Manager 2.2.2

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to modify the role "user" and disable the "Power on" and "Power off" buttons so that a username that logs on to the VM Manager that belongs to the user role cannot power on/off a VM. Is this possible?
Many Thanks

The only way of tracking this up would to be to setup multiple individual users. At least you could see which user then powers off / on a VM from the list of jobs on the gui..

Did you try restoring your iPod on itunes.

Urgent! Disable the power off button when iphone is locked!

I wanna make a sugestion. Here in my country when you lose an i- phone usually people who find it steal it. The firsf thing they do is turn it off so u can't track it back. My suggestion is to make the power off button not accessible unless you unlock the phone first.

Attempting to open Firefox freezes computer, requiring system shutdown via On/Off button. Opening FF in Safe Mode doesn't help anything.

I was using Firefox just fine as I have been for years, and when I tried to open it today after restarting the machine, it froze the computer almost completely (mouse works, but clicking it anywhere does nothing and ctrl + alt + del does not work). Sometimes even the mouse ceases to work. The only way to react to this is to shut down the system by cutting the energy (On/Off button) as I have waited up to 5 minutes and the system does not recover.
I have tried opening the Safe Mode dialog box (start -> run -> firefox -safe-mode) and choosing the options to disable extensions and toolbars and "reset user preferences to FF defaults" and click "apply and restart" and the computer freezes. If I hit the "continue with Safe Mode" button instead, I get to see the FF screen with a blank tab on it but the computer freezes as well.
I am completely baffled by this sudden problem. I am having to type this from Google Chrome and thus I cannot supply troubleshooting information, sadly. I am sure it is not conflict with antiviruses because I have not installed any new firewalls or antiviruses before the problem started.
I tried downloading Firefox 8.0 and installing it (was previously on 7.0) but it didn't help at all. I also tried running FF with Windows on Safe Mode, but the freeze still happens.
Please help me, my life depends on ReminderFox reminding me of stuff and now I can't access it :,-(. I need FF back ASAP!
Thanks a whole lot!
'''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
I think my computer is breaking down. :(

How do i disable a stop button within an event

Using LabView 8.6 I'd like to disable my vi's stop button so the user can't stop the vi unless the network application is in the correct mode of operation.
I only want the user to be able to stop the vi when it is ok to do so. What I tried works to prevent the stop button from operating at the wrong time but the vi does not always stop and I have to force the vi to stop.
My event structure handles all the buttons and inputs for my vi. The event structure is within the while loop that generates commands for the network application when I click on one of the buttons or enter a value into a input field. Another while loop is reading data from the network application and displaying the data on the vi. I used a "Stop" local value to stop the display while loop.
How am I supposed to disable the stop button but have my vi stop when it is ok to do so in the correct way?

OK I'll try to handle this point by point.
Q1, what gets wired to the "SilentShutdown" & "Discard?" when using "Application Instance Close?"
A1 Wire a TRUE to Discard? That's the only thing that event case needs if the Stop condition output is default if unwired "F"
REASON you had a problem" it makes not sense to wire the same value to both Discard? and Silent Shutdown? (Or even use both) Discard in Filter events is used to "Trap" the event and decide if the app really wants to process it so discarding an app close removes the event and the OS wont process it. Silient Shutdown? does just about the opposite an tru hear means "Shut down the app without any normal user prompts" Wiring them both T or F would trigger either allowing the app close event to process normally or triggering a application shutdown.
COMMENT: I've tried various combinations of nothing & true/false but clicking on the "Windows Red X" still closes the window (as far as I know no one has ever clicked the windows close, but the "Stop" button has been clicked a number of times by mistake)
RESPONSE: Ah! You have "Trained" LabVIEW users! They have been burned so often by LabVIEW code that they expect it to misbehave and don't even think about trying to "Close" a LabVIEW window. In decades past the event structure did not exist in LabVIEW and so the only way to prevent the app close event from firing was "User Training." There are better practices available now.
Q2: If I get the previous suggestion to work and follow the next suggestion (Rip off the abort button), I won't be able to ever stop the vi when it hangs. It still does that sometimes. In my actual vi I'm still getting the hangs.
Amplifications:
if the vi stops[,] the network communication & control to the network application is lost.
then the only way to stop this applications[external app on another processor] is with "^C" in the Putty window.
A2: You've got the tail wagging the cart before the dog-horse! BOTH application need to be rethought in such a manner as they can be independantly controlled. But, this is a LabVIEW forum so I expect that your scope of work is to get the LabVIEW side working in a dignified manner- let's concentrate on that. PuTTY windows and Task Managers are not evil - for debugging and integration. especially when integrating multiple processes that may not yet be "Mature". but a quick VISA write "^C" in your shutdown code might make the other application tolerable
Q3hould I use a "Flat" or "Stacked" sequence to control the order of execution within the "data" loop?
A3: NEITHER. You should do a quick forum search for Queued State Machine or Queued Message Handler (QSM and QMH) after looking at the help for the QSM Sample Project (LabVIEW 2012 or later) the Shipping examples are a good place to start but! many discussion threads have questioned the example's exit practice and offered some alternate examples.

How do I disable the wireless button on my Acer Aspire 3000

I got my Broadcomm wireless working, and everything's great, except for the design of this stupid laptop. The button that toggles the wireless is positioned in a way that if I am leaning back with the laptop on my lap, my belt or stomach often accidentally turns the wireless off.
Is there a way I can keep the WLAN working, and just disable this stupid button?

If the button on your laptop is anything like the one on my old one (an old model Sony Vaio), the switch is actually a hardware switch that simply completes a circuit and provides power to the wireless card. If this is the case, short of taping the button in the 'on' position or opening the case to solder the connection, I don't see a way to keep it on indefinitely.

I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the machine. The message is in several foreign languages beside english, and there is not way to get rid of it. The curser is inactive.

I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the computer. The message is in several languages and completely takes over the computer disabling the mouse and all other functions. The only option is to unplug the computer or turn it off. I'm concerned that this is a virus. It does not look like it's related to Apple or the imac OS.

That sounds like a kernel panic. These are generally hardware related, often caused by poorly seated or fauly RAM.

Can you disable the mute button your ear does not mute your phone conversations?

My ear or face keeps muting phone conversations inadvertently. Is there a way to disable the mute button?

The proximity sensor above the earpiece should turn the screen off when the phone is placed near your ear. If you have a case, remove it and see how it works.

Can you disable the home button?

My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason. Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

HT1414 my wi fi on/off button is not working. any suggestions?

my wi fi on/off button is not working when i touch it. any suggestions on how to fix it or what to do?

Is it disabled, that is "grayed out"? If so, see this thread, and good luck: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4313031?start=0&tstart=0
If not, turn phone off/on again. If that doesn't do it, reset by holding down the power and home buttons until you see the apple logo (ignore the slide to turn off message). Finally, you can try restoring the phone from backup.
