How do I get my 4S to turn off?  The on/off button seems to be frozen in the down position.

Make a Genius Bar appointment. In the meantime go Settings > General > Accessabilty > Assistive Touch.
There's a lock screen option for aid when hardware fails.

  • How to I get my Mac to stop deleting the pictures off of my phone that I sync to the computer?

    When I first uploaded pictures to my Mac from my iPhone, it asked me if I wanted it to delete the pictures off of my phone as they uploaded, and I said yes.Now, every time I upload pictures, all the pictures from my phone get deleted as they sync onto the computer. I cannot figure out how to stop this and IPhoto does not give me the option to change it. I want to be able to sync the photos to my computer without them being deleted from my phonee. Can anyone help me?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    How do I get my screen to turn from portrait to landscape when I rotate my phone?

    Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to activate Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the right on the top row. Looks like a padlock with a circular arrow around it. White is on, black is off.

    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    2. Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    3. Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • HT4061 My screen will not turn on at all. But i can still hear sounds from when i would hit the home button. How could i get my iPhone to turn on?

    The screen to my phone will not turn on at all. I could hear the sound it makes when I do press on the home button. But the screen is not and will not respond and turn on. I plugged it in the charger to see if it'll do anything, but that didnt do anything. So I plugged it in the charger to my computer and even that didnt help with the situation. So how can I get my screen to turn on?

    See Here for  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    Try this First...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • How come I get 3G when I turn off my LTE?

    How come I get 3G when I turn off my LTE but when my friends turn their LTE off they get 4G? I have Verizon as my phone's carrier.

    Because you have a Verizon iPhone and when you turn off LTE it falls back to their EVDO network and correctly shows 3G. Your friends either have a T-Mobile or AT&T iPhone and they refer to HSPA+ as "4G".
    A Sprint iPhone will behave exactly like yours.

  • How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

    How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar.  i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar.  Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
    right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
    How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
    If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.

    Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.
