Dock animation will not turn off

I am looking for an answer to a dock problem.
Out of curiosity to see what it looked like, I turned on the dock animation feature in system preferences/dock by checking the box.
Curiosity satisfied I unchecked the box to turn it off but it will not turn off. I have re-started, re-booted and cursed it but nothing I do will turn it off.
I check the system preferences/dock check box each time and find that the box is unchecked (so in theory the animation should not work - but it does).
Can anyone suggest an answer.
Regards
Tony

You may need to create a new user account and see if the same problem happens there.
You can also delete the Dock preference file from your home directory:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Last, you can "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility.

IPod will not turn off using click wheel

My 30G iPod won't turn off unless I put it in the universal dock and use the remote. It will not turn off using the click wheel. I've tried resetting the iPod, and also changed the "Settings" back to the factory default, and that didn't make any difference. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does the iPod sucessfully reset?
Try resetting the iPod...
Resetting iPod
After it resets, wait about a minute. Now try turning it off.
Also, try activating the sleep timer on the iPod. Does that turn it off? (Go to extras-->clock-->[select a clock]-->sleep)

HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it. I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion. It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

Reset the phone like the manual says: hold the on/off switch and the home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. May take up to 30 sec

Ipod will not turn off, no longer recognized

iPod asked to update to latest software. Upload failed and ipod left in state where it will not turn off, and is no longer recognized in itunes or as a device.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

Do a reset. You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not help resore from a backup. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store. You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card installed, now computer will not turn off

I installed Audiophile 2496 card + "live lite 4" software and now my computer will not turn off. It goes through the motions, but than just reboots. I have to hold the start button to kill it. I also have a Firmtek SATA PCI card and a USB 2.0 PCI card. Is there some way to solve this short of pulling the card?

Web sharing starts but will not turn off

I have enabled web sharing and been running successfully for a long time, recently upgraded to Lion.
The problem I have now is that I can turn Apache on through the Web Sharing prefs but it will not turn off, technically that not true as the instance is killed off but something is restarting the httpd processes (new pid's). As far as the Pref pane is concerned Apache is off (un checked box), though in reality, a new instance is running.
The only way to turn it off is by su apachectl stop.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adam.

Have you tried to hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so, until you see a silver apple. See if you can get it to reboot.

My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down???? What's wrong with it?

Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.
