HT4061 4s  wont allow me to slide to unlock or slide to power off.

My 4s wont allow me to use the swipe function to unlock or powder off but I can swipe up to the short cut icons, just cant select them for use either.
How do I get around this?

See Here...
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this First... You will not lose any Data...
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...

  • Wont power off or slide to power off

    Ipad 2 will not power off holing down off button- screen pops up to slide to power off and wont allow

    "Won't allow?"  What happens when you slide?
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but I can't access the slide to power off button either.  Any thoughts???

    Hey there Apple Users

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1430 How can you reboot your Touch if the screen is frozen and will not allow you to use the "slide to power off"

  • Option for slide to power off is gone, restart only...

    Hello all, I just noticed yesterday when I went to reboot my iphone 4s that the slide to power off option is gone. Now when I hold the home and lock button it restarts only.
    Is anyone else having the same issue?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,

    If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here.  You'll need to seek out other sources of help.  The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
    BTW, just a pointer...  punctuation is your friend!  Your post was very difficult to read without any.  Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

  • The lock screen on my IPad zoomed in on itself. It is zoomed in so far that I can't unlock it, and I can't see the 'slide to power off' option. I've tried to reset it numerous times. Any suggestions?

    Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal size. If it works go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

  • Screen flashes black and then shows slide to power off

    While playing music the screen repeatedly flashes to black then flashes to the slide to power off screen. When I tap cancel it usually works for a few min before doing it again but sometimes it flashes between the black screen and the itunes screen several times before showing the slide to power off screen.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • My iphone 4s is frozen and my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. HELP

    my iphone 4s is frozen on the lock screen. my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. It has 100% battery and nothing happens when  i plug it into the computer.
    My phone screen also is in negative. It is like twitching and ive tried to invert the colors but thats not it. i cant see any apps, pictures , or anything in regular colors. PLEASE HELPPP!

    You can't.  You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone.  It will restart.
    Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed.

  • Camera going to "Slide to power off" screen

    Yesterday, as I was taking a video, after about 2 seconds of recording my phone would pop up the "Slide to power off" screen. When I hit cancel, it went back to my home screen. I tried this a few more times and it happened again and again. I then power cycled the phone and it did it again. This would happen for both the video and still camera. It finally went away and now I can not duplicate the problem.
    Do I need to take it into the Apple store?
    iPhone 4 with 4.2.1OS.
    Thanks.

    So no one has experienced this? Please let me know if you have.
    Thank you

  • Can't Slide to power off

    my ipad 2 is 16G 3G,
    yesterday, i update my ipad 2 via itunes from 4.3.5 to 5.1 then i can't "slide to power off", it just restart to operate.
    then i use a clean desktop to update, it still happen...
    anyone can help me....

    I understand what the problem is. Did you try to reset the iPad? After you reset it you should be able to power the device off completely.
    If you tried the reset and you still cannot use the slide to power off, then you have another issue. But you have to try the reset, hold down both buttons - wait for the apple logo to appear on the screen - let go of th buttons and let the iPad restart completely - then try to power off.
    Did you do all of that?

  • I just received a iPod Touch 5th generation for xmas and it acts like it is locked, when you slide the slider it says unlock button and nothing happens.  Can't slide the power off either.  It tells you the time, unlock button, power off button but nothing

    I just received a iPod Touch 5th generation for xmas and it acts like it is locked, when you slide the slider it says unlock button and nothing happens.  Can't slide the power off either.  It tells you the time, unlock button, power off button but nothing happens.  Voice just tells you the unlock button, time, poweroff button.
    Please help also itunes says I need to enter on iPod the passcode to reset to factory.  I can't get it open to enter passcode, slider doesn't work.  It is one day old and this happen xmas afternoon.  PLEASE Help someone

    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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad stops after a few seconds, says slide to power off/cancel.  What is the problem?

    What could be wrong with my ipad?  it stops after a few seconds with "slide to power off" noted. 

    Settings are OK, but the internal power supply is on the verge of failure. Soon, you will not be able to turn the Time Capsule on at all after it turns off.
    Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
    Otherwise, contact Apple Support.
