I was charging my phone until it became full,, but after that I tried to open my messages but unfortunately, I cannot slide off to open!
It doesnt even turn off when i click the power off button. In the mean time, I'm assisted by Siri in opening applications, I'm trying to drain my phone now to wait until it comes back to normal,. what could be the problem and what should be the best solution for this? Im using this iphone 4s for 2 years and it's out of warranty., Pls. help.

Sliding off to shut was not of help too.. I can't even press any applications. Tapping can't also be done. I don't know why my phone isn't responding.. It took me hours tapping and sliding just to fix this and it just doesn't respond.
Thanks for that suggestion..
Anyone has the same problem? I can't turn the phone off and tapping won't also respond im s desperate of help
Is there a reason you can't tap the Home button and the On/Off buttons?

How about a hard reset. Hold the top button down along with the home button until the phone turns off.

I have an iPad that is frozen up. I am unable to unlock 000000000000000r slide to turn off. Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to take in for repair?

I have an iPad2 that is frozen up. I am unable to unlock or slide to turn off. Has anyone had this issue? Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to have it repaired?

I just posted to you in the other thread:
The Home button is the round indented circle the with small square printed in it, at the bottom of your iPad' face above where you plug the iPad cable in.
The Power (sleep) button is the the small rectangular button on the upper rim of your iPad at the right corner.
to Reset your iPad:
hold both the Home button and the Power button down for approx 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If a red slider appears, ignore it. When the Apple logo appears let go promptly and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on.
Then download the iPad manual, which has a picture of your iPad with arrows telling you what everythings is.
To find the iPad manual go into iBooks on your iPad, select Store at the upper left, scroll down to Popular Collections, then scroll right to iOS 7 Guides, select this, then select the iPad User Guide and it will download for free. Then you will have it on your iPad in iBooks to refer to whenever you need it.
You can also read it online on the Apple website.

My touchscreen on my 4s isn't working. I can't "slide to unlock" and when I try to turn my phone off I can't "slide to turn off". HELP!!

I am making the assumption - based on the "tags" in your description - that you do not have sounds in apps, games and things like that - but you can hear sound when you use the music app. ......
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously. Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds. That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

How to turn off "re-open all application windows"

How to turn off "re-open all application windows". Even though its unselected in preferences. my computer still tries to do this and causes startup problems and delays. its been a hangup since lion. when are they going to fix this???

Try this. . .
You have two choices. You can choose that your applications not resume their previous state when you shutdown or restart the Mac by deselecting the checkbox that appears prior to shutdown:
Or you can navigate to the General pane in System Preferences and deselect the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps option. However, if you do this, applications will never resume their previous state, even when quit and restarted during a single boot session.

How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

IPad Wi-Fi + 3G is connected to Wi-Fi 3G turned off can't connect.

I have the original iPad and have owned it for quite a while. This seem to have started within the last few weeks. It may have something to do with the upgrade to 4.3.1, I don't know. But I have been told by AT&T twice now in about three weeks that I am running low on my Cellular Data Plan. I buy the 250MB plan and usually use about 200MB a month or less. I have never run out of data before. Most places that I frequent have Wi-Fi. I thought it might have been from one of my apps that is somewhat internet intensive and somehow forced the iPad to us 3G over Wi-Fi. So to save data I turned off the Cellular network to force the iPad to use Wi-Fi. It connects immediately. Then after a while the Wi-Fi symbol in the top left corner disappears and I can no longer connect to the internet. If I check the Wi-Fi in System Preferences, it says that I'm connected to the Wi-Fi to the correct WAP and with good strength.
This appears to be different than the old "can't connect" because the iPad used to ask me to enter the network password. From what I can tell I am connected to Wi-Fi but the iPad refuses to use it preferring the 3G. I have rebooted the device with no affect.
Anyone seen this or know if this is a bug with 4.3.1? Any help is appreciated.
Rob

I had same situation
I did as below and i was fine
go to > Settings>wifi>tap blue arrow beside the network to go to IP & Proxy details
If proxy is higlighted as "OFF" select it to "AUTO"

HT1430 cannot get my phone off of connect to itunes screen and wont be recognized by itunes

i tried to do a restore on my iphone after updating software on my phone due to several other problems. now i am unable to turn off phone. it will not come off of the connect to itunes screen. however when i connect to itunes it does not get recognized as a device on itunes

Hey courtnoah,
That sounds frustrating! I'm here to help. It sounds like your iPhone is currently in recovery mode. This means we will have to restore the device. However, if the device is not recognized in iTunes we'll need to refer to the following information:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
The most relevant information may be in Section 5: "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" and excerpt "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode". If those steps do not immediately resolve your issue, please follow the rest of the article.
For more troubleshooting on recovery mode, you can also refer to the following:
iPhone - Restore Troubleshooting Assistant

Thanks,

Smart Guides Turning Off - Can't Turn Back On!!

I love the smart guides and use them all the time... unfortunately my smart guides have been turning off (I'm either inadvertently doing something, or this is a glitch or something going on) but after using smart guides on a document it all of sudden stops working. The only way I've been able to negotiate around this problem is by opening a new document and just copying my old materials in there and moving forward like that. That's a pain and and also doesn't explain what's going on!!!
When I go View> Grids & Guides ... smart guides is selected but the option is grayed out and I can't change it even if I want to. I'm really not sure what's going on here. Using CS6
Any help is much appreciated!!!!

Okay ran the update but didn't seam to change the issue. When I tested the user ID I made a new one. The issue is that reguardless of the user id it seams like once it "goes bad" there is no getting it back. Since I'm working on these files at my job I'm on them for a while as part of a series or larger project. Its usualyl when I'm like 80%-90% done. Some of these files I've been working on for over a month and others I've only been working on for only a few days before the smart guides stop working. So far 3 out of 3 projects I've been working on have eventually run into this issue. Its hard to say when its going to stop working.

HT1430 How do I turn off the data when I am not in a WiFi location? I noticed that I am using data when the phone is "on" and I am not in a WiFi situation, but not on the internet. So, how do I turn off the data?

How can I turn off the LTE data when I am someplace where there is not WiFi and I do not want my LTE running up a bill? I have tracked my usage and realize that the LTE is being used even when I am not using it, just because the phone is turned on.

Merely being on should not use any data. You must have something running - something using push notifications, or push email, prhaps?
So, you can either track down what is using the data and change it, or you could go in and disaple cellular data in your settings.
One other thing to check is
Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic and Usage data -> set it to "Don't Send"
Settings -> Restrictions -> Location Services -> System Services -> turn all these "OFF" (this will not affect how you use your phone at all, but will stop any outgoing location information being sent periodically back to Apple).
