I am unable to switch off my iPad 2. What can I do?

I Am unable to power off my iPad. Any suggestions?

Hi there smdsue,
You may want to try resetting the device. To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Hello I have upgraded my iPad again. It seems that something gets upset each time. This time my mailbox has become unstable. It does not receive or send mail. I know my wifi is fine because my laptop is fine. I have switched off the iPad again and again.

Not sure you got my earlier message so I am posing my question again.
Having upgraded my iPad to the more recent OSsomething, my mailbox no longer receives or sends emails.
My wifi is fine, checked with my laptop which works fine. I have switched off the iPad many times but the problem remains. Can anyone help?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
That's not the same as turning it off or on.
Another things to try is to reset your settings. Use the Settings app for this.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If the problem persists after the reset check your email accounts on the iPad. You could delete them and add them back. This is also done in the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar

You can turn Find My iPad 'off' by going to http://icloud.com and logging into your account, select the iPad from the device list in the 'Find My iPhone' section on that site, and 'remove from account'

I am unable to switch off Passcode on my ipad3. The button for switch off Passcode is greyed out.

I am unable to switch off Passcode on my ipad3. The button for switch off Passcode is greyed out.

Hello again,
I have managed to disable the Passcode.
I checked and I removed a profile that was linked to a business app.
I think it must have been security policy through business app that didn't work anyway.
Thank you very much for taking the time to attempt to resolve my issue.
Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HT201401 i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button.

i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button. Though I can feel the sense of the button, but it doesnt work.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple charges $199 for Replacement iPhone 4S. You can use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can be used to turn iPhone OFF, hold down on the Lock Screen icon until "slide to turn off" appears. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB port of computer.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because your iPad turns on to get the battery charged. You don't have to turn it off to charge it

I cannot unlock or switch off my iPad, the slider doesn't function. Solutions?

The slider doesn't function, therfore i cannot unlock or switch off my iPad has anyone a solution?

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.

From a new ipad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the ipad?

From a new iPad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the iPad?

If you're listening to radio from the app, you need to go to that App (press Home button twice for multitasing menu and tap on its icon), and stop it there. If there is no such feature - you can "kill" the app, open multitasking menu again, hold one of the icons for couple of seconds, and click "X" symbol next to the radio app.
If the radio streams in Safari (web browser), you can simply stop it by closing the tab - tap little "X" next to the tab where the radio is playing.
Hope this helps

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

How are you trying to copy them over ? You should be able to copy them over to the TV Shows section of your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

No service error on Bsnl 3G on my iPad. What can I do to fix this

No service error on Bsnl 3G on my iPad. What can I do to fix this

I had the same issue (iPAD version 4.3.3) and it wouldn't connect to 3G in the house which I know has good signal. I tried several times turning off the Cellular Data switch and putting it into flight mode, leaving it for a while, doing a hard reset several times but still the darn thing gave "no signal". Guess a hard reset isn't as hard as it could be.
Fiddled with the automatic carrier then but when I pressed this it just whirled away for minutes. Then
Put machine into flight mode and turned it off.
Removed SIM.
Rebooted and made sure I got the no sim card message.
Turned off machine again
Replaced sim and at last success it found 3G.
