my i phone 4s will not switch off and ive got a apple sign and a bar empty underneath ,,how do i turn it off and get it working again please , ps i have held down button on top but it will not turn off >??????????

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.

    - Try resetting the iPod
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to cpmputer and restore if it shows in iTunes
    - If iPod is still frozen on, let the battery fully drain.  Then after charging for an hour try the above again.

  • My Iphone 4 will not switch off silent .... Please help.

    I Updated My IPhone 4 on the 2nd of Jan 2013 and since then it will not switch off silent mode with the switch on the side of the phone , does any one know what i can do or if there is any other way to switch it off silent ?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, shown here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still not luck, you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced:

    Hello Valerie,
    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to attempt this procedure at least 3 times.

  • Z30 will not switch OFF!

    I have this error message displayed - www.bberror.com/bb10-0015 - on my Z30.
    So the screen is black (looks like it's off), but when i start the reload process in BB Link (with device connected), i get a message asking me to switch off the device. It will not turn off. If i hold the 'off' button down, it just starts up again and then displays the error message once more. What can i do?

    1. How do i find out which exact model my BB is? Because it will not switch on to let me go into settings etc.. As i say, although it won't switch off, it won't allow me in either - just get that error message.
    Remove the back cover. At the bottom behind that cover is a label with a lot of tiny print on it. In that print will somewhere be STA100-something...that "something" is what determines your exact Z30 model number.

    2. I cannot do a backup either because of above.
    Like insurance, the time to take a backup is before problems happen. It is a hard lesson to learn, but one should never allow an update to a computing device to begin unless one has a full and complete backup in hand. Further, a regular procedure of taking backups is always recommended so as to minimize the loss of data should a catastrophic failure happen.

    Finally, with the state i have described, will the autoloader run?
    I cannot predict the outcome of making the attempt. I can, of course, predict the outcome of never trying at all. You may have to experiment with timing of starting up your BB, connecting it to your PC, and launching the AutoLoader. Given the condition of your BB, you may have to try a few tricks with different timings of those actions. But AutoLoaders are pretty forceful...generally, if power is flowing through the BB at all and the display is doing anything at all, then the AutoLoader can attach to it and conduct it's process.
    Good luck!

  • XP Proff will not switch off system when closing down.

    I have a brand new installation loaded to a KM3M-V board with Semperon 2200 - everything works perfectly with the exception that when the command is given to shut down Windows, instead of switching off the system I get athe following Windows message "Windows has shut down and it is now safe to switch off your computer" - it then has to be switched off at the mains. How can I fix this? I have built other similar XP Proff systems using the KM4M-V board and never experienced this problem before!

    Yeah thats it !
    But you can also try to instal APM legacy driver... mybe then it will work... I was having the same problem after turning off acpi option, changing from acpi complaint to standard pc. So i installed apm driver and then it works fine....
    I was having some other problem befor when i had acpi ... long story...posted in this forum somewhere i followed instructions by Wonkanoby.. worked fine.

  • My iPad screen freezes and will not switch off for at least 5 mins?

    my ipad screen freezes and will not turn off or  function for at lease  5 mins then just closes down

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • E72 will not switch off, keypad is backlit

    About 2 months ago my E72 started not turning off when I tried to. The screen goes blank (ok), but keypad would become backlit, and the phone would not turn off. The power button then does nothing other than "buzz". Battery removal was the only option. 
    At the same time my wife's E72 started exhibiting similar behavior - but without the keyboard backlit.
    Vodafone decided to replace both handsets, but now both new handsets exhibit exactly the same behavior.
    This happens probably every 2 out of 5 attempts to turn the phone off.
    Given that this problem has exhibited itself on four E72s, this must surely be a S/W, F/W problem?

    I have this issue to.  I noticed it in December right after the firmware update.
    I have a bunch of other issues too, see my earlier post.

  • Satellite A200 13M - black screen and will not switch off

    Hello
    I hve just purchased a *Satellite A200 13M*. At first power on, Windows Vista seemed to be correctly installed and internet connection (wifi) was working. The Norton programme was updated, and I was able to download and install OpenOffice. However, as OpenOffice had reported a small amount of disk space available (55 Go) I tried to see the Hard Disk in the browser.
    I clicked on Configuration panel, and waited for it to open. At this point, the mouse-arrow froze. After some time, I tried Ctrl, Alt, Del, and the system asked if i wanted to shut down. I did so, and a new screen announced that Windows was shutting down. This screen then froze in its turn. I waited for some time, and then tried to switch off with the power button. The screen went black.
    However, the blue power light remains on, the fan is still turning, but nothing i do seems to wake the machine up. I have called the maintenance service of the shop I bought it from (Darty) but they are overloaded and said they would call me back in a day or two (!). Is there anything I can do in the mean-time that might allow me to continue working with the machine.
    Thank you
    Tim Mason

    Sounds strange! But it’s a computer and sometimes such machines do {color:#ff0000}strange{color} things ;)
    Anyway… try to remove the battery from the laptop and disconnect the AC adapter.
    Wait about 20-30min and connect everything again.
    Then try to power up the notebook. If it’s a not a serious issue the notebook should starts again!

  • Ipod will not switch off

    Every time I switch off my ipod ie press and hold pause/play button, the screen goes blank then instantly comes back on again. Then the screen goes off and on at regular intervals until fully discharged. Any help resolving this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I know you can reset it by holding the circle and menue buttons at the same time for like 15 seconds... but why its doing it can be many things.

  • Auto sync Will Not Switch Off

    I am using a new Windows 7 machine which has  iTunes 11.0.2.26 version newly installed.
    I have had what looks like a helpful answer to another problem but the solution starts with "Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under Edit menu if using Windows)." Which I have done (I am using windows so went to Edit/preferences/devices and  "Prevents iPods and iPads from syncing automatically" box is not selected, in fact it wasn't when i found it.
    But still,  as soon as I plug my iTouch in it syncs. Any answer would be helpful please to get me past first base on my other problem!

    You need to check the box that says "Prevent.....  From you description it appears it is not checked
