How to use broken power button

How do I use the power button if i dont have it anymore on my 3g? for example do I need to use a paperclip to push it for it to work?

Well if the power button is missing then you might have to use a paper clip or take it to the Apple store. Since your iphone 3G is no longer under warranty, if you wanted to get it replaced you will have to pay the out of warranty service, which is $199.

You don't make any settings for the power switch; either the Mac can use it or it can't. The Mac SE has a rocker power switch on the back of the CPU. The keyboard can't change the state of the power supply. Later Macs could, but not the SE.

How to restart iPhone 5 with broken power button and frozen home button?

hmm..just realised that waiting here for answer is like watching paint drying.. Thanks Apple!
So best option is..
1) backup your phone
2) log to iCloud
3) erese your phone
4) pug and restore your phone from backup
.. I'm clearly starting to dislike this company and seriously considering switching to someone else.

Broken power button

broken power button

I sent in my iphone5 for a repair/replacement unit on november 9, 2013, I was having an issue with the power button "doesn't work at all". It has no dents or any other issues aside from the POWER BUTTON. The good thing about apple is that the customer is always updated as to what exact stage of your iphone is at. After 20days, I received a text message: I went to apple to get the replacement iphone5. The POWER BUTTON issue is resolved but i noticed some other issue on the replacement unit. New ISSUES: Dents on the right side near the screen and it also has screen discoloration on the screen itself. It got worse! There might have been some other issue on the replacement unit if I had used it for a couple of hours. I am so disappointed about the service. I asked the manager to have it replaced but I need to wait for another 2 week to 1 month TAT turn around time. Apple would lose a lot of its loyal customers if they would not do anything about it for improvement of their service when it comes to replacing a defective unit.

I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut the computer down.
How do you delete programs?
thanks

If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

Can you have PXIe 1062Q turn on without using the power button

I am using a PXIe-1062Q for a test project that will be inside of a protective case. The power button to the chassis will be covered by a plate on the protective case that will make it annoying and difficult to power on using the power button on the chassis. The chassis will be plugged into a trip-lite power strip that is mounted in the case. Is there any way that I can have the chassis power on when I turn on the power strip?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found an alternate route. Under the BIOS of the controller I changed the AC power Loss settings to TURN on after the AC power is returned. This allows me to use the power strip in my configuration to control the AC power distributed to the controller. The following steps will describe how I completed this.
Power on the PXIe-8115 controller.
A message will appear on your monitor Press <DEL> to enter SETUP
Select "delete" (quickly, because you don't have much time before the window disappears and the controller continues to load normally.
This will open up the BIOS Main Menu
Select Advanced tab ( use arrow keys to highlight different tabs and selections, select specific setting to change with "enter"
Select >>Power/Rest Configuration
Change configuration to power on when AC power is restored.
The controller can be shut down normally using the start menu and "shut down"
The chassis's power button is still capable of turning on the power to the controller, but now when I shut off the AC power strip, and then return the power, the chassis controller powers up.

Iphone cant restore- Broken power button

Hi. My friend bought a factory unlocked iphone 3g from a friend here in norway which had a broken power button. he thought it would be ok without it until...
IT GOT BRICKED!!!
"Somehow" he bricked it and it doesnt want to turn on. i tried getting it into dfu mode/restore mode or whatever its called by holding down the home button while plugging it into itunes. it worked the first time but while it was downloading the new firmware, the cable got unplugged. we tried to get it to get recognised by itunes, but this time it didnt work. not sure where the original owner got it from, i think maybe from norway, but im not sure. can he repair it here in norway and how much would you expect the price to vary from (any currency ok)

no

Broken power button on iMac G4

I am considering the purchase of this iMac. It has a broken power button. What are the implications of this? The present owner says that he just plugs it in and it starts up, and that besides he just leaves it on all the time anyway. How big of an issue is this? Can you advise me on how easy a power button might be to repair or if it is very necessary to repair it (assuming their is a workaround-keyboard startup?).
Thanks in advance!

Given the said iMacG4 model and year are not discussed, one possibility
may be to buy a third-party for Apple Macintosh keyboard with power key.
If nothing else is wrong with the computer, it may run awhile without trouble;
but access to the physical power key (on the logic board; may be hard to
buy the part by itself to replace it) is handy in troubleshooting or restarting
when something freezes up. Unplugging and re-plugging the iMacG4 to
make it go/make it stop is not recommended. Issues can result; I am
aware of a few problems in the G4 and earlier G3 iMacs and others, due
to the owner unplugging the machine instead of performing maintenance
or repairs in a timely and orderly fashion.
Since that machine is likely no longer covered under an AppleCare Plan,
you could either have someone else eventually replace the logic board
or other parts as you find them; or if you are technically minded and have
a good attention to detail with adequate work habits, fix it yourself. The
service manual, a download in PDF for techs, may still be available. It
was intended for trained personnel, and damages worse than the first
problem may result from improper procedures being done inside the iMac.
That said; good luck & happy computing!

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

How to use a back button in action pages?

Hi all,
I have created a user login page,home page and user profile page.
If the user provide correct username and password in the login page he will be taken to home page.
In the home page he will be having his username and a link to view his profile.
When the user click on the link "My Profile(user profile)" he wil be taken to that page.
In my profile page the user can edit only his firstname,lastname and password .
On the user profile page i have placed a Back Button(using javascript: on onclick event i have used history.back()) to go back to home page after editing his profile.
If the user edit his profile for n-number of times then atlast if he wants to go back to home page-then he wil cilck the back button.
Now the problem occurs like the back button not going to home page and it simply going back with the edited history.
How to use a back button in action pages; without repeating the actions done on the page; how to redirect to the users home page?
I simply used the hyperlink in userprofile page to go to home page but when i click onit it is displaying blank home page.
I'm using hibernate orm mapping; cflogin and cflogout tags.
Any help appreciated,
Chandru P

I can see your problem. You may use javascript:history.go(-1), javascript:history.go(-2), ..., to go back one page, two pages, and so on. But how does one go back an arbitrary n pages? The link href="home.cfm" isn't a good solution for the browser. It makes a new call to the server which, as you may have discovered, can overwrite all the changes made at the browser.
You should use the Javascript variable history.length. If you open n links in succession, starting from page0.cfm, then the browser holds the value of history.length as n. So, experiment with something like
<a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length)">Go home</a>
or
<a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length+1)">Go home</a>

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

MacBook frozen with broken power button

i have a 2010 MacBook Pro that has a broken power button, which seems to be a common problem with this model. To turn it on, I have to open the case and short out two pins on the motherboard. Lately, my MacBook has been freezing on me, which leads to a solid black screen. I can move the mouse around but there is nothing to click on. Since my power button is broken, I cannot just hold it down to force a shutdown like usual and I do not have time to let the laptop's battery burn itself out all day so I can start it back up.
Is there anything I can do to turn my Mac off while it's still running? I have the back case open and the fans are going. I'm afraid to poke around in there while it's running.
Thanks.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
