I only has acpid, and when I googles, I when some freebsd have the same problem.

HT5622 My ipad hangs up after showing a message that says it "Cannot Access Find My Friends" and that I need to open the app and review my signin info to continue sharing. I can't go there because it is hung up. I also can't power off.

My power button is stuck and I can't power off my phone. What do I do?

One day I went to use my power off button on my iPhone 4 and it stuck inside. I can't power off my phone now because I won't be able to turn it back on. Had anyone else had this problem? If do, what did you do to fix it? I've only had this phone for 6 months.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Ipod touch is "frozen" can't power off or connect to itunes

I was listening to music on my ipod touch when the song stopped and would not play again. Took my headphones out, put them back in, still nothing. Powered down to see if that would work. Put the ipod in my pocket after powering down and checked it a couple hours later and it was frozen. Now, if I push the power button the screen shows a cable connecting to the iTunes icon. When I push and hold the power down button I am unable to slide the power off button...the touch screen does not work. I connected to itunes but received a message stating it was unable to connect because my ipod was locked and I need to enter my password on my ipod....but it's locked! Ideas?

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 another cable
- 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.

Try posting the logs like Andy said, otherwise no one can diagnose what the problem is.
Then read this from GOOGLE first one in my search!

Then try posting the logs again.
Oh yeah, if it doesn't work try posting relevant information like log files or dmesg.

IPhone stuck on gestures (Pinch) screen - can't power off

Hi hi - My home button died a few days ago so I've been using the Accessibility version, the onscreen white spot.
While adding new gestures via the "spot", the Gestures menu froze with only the Pinch option showing in the top-left (but not functioning). The menu is now laid over my lock screen (my phone autolocks after two mins) and I can't cancel it, select any gestures, unlock my iPhone or even power it off - holding down the power button produces the regular "Slide to power off" bar but the Gestures menu is preventing me from sliding it.
I'm effectively stuck with an iPhone that won't turn on or off, with a full battery that's not going to die for days.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Many thanks. ^___^

Hold home and power button for 20 seconds. If this is not working because home button is stuck try to connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.

Update to iOS8.1 on iPhone 6, getting a flashing red screen alternating with Apple screen. Can't power off or do anything else.

While updating to iOS, it appeared that the download was progressing so I laid my phone down. Checked about a half hour later and I now have a continuously flashing red screen that alternates with the Apple screen. I can't power the device off nor use the home button. iTunes doesn't recognize the phone so can't sync or reload.

Hello rwax,
The troulbeshooting steps detailed below can help get your iPhone to successfully power on.
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

When trying to start Firefox It hangs and does not load. I get a APPLE PINWHEEL and all functions on the laptop stop. I can only power off to stop the action.

Each time loading Firefox this happens. It just started yesterday. I have downloaded another copy of Firefox and tried that. I have download 3.6.19 and 5.0 versions and both do the same thing.I do not know what to do next

I have reviewed your suggested reading. NOTHING on this page is applicable.
I have deleted the original FIREFOX, UPloaded and installed 3.6.19 and also tried 5.0 version. I have not been able to get FIREFOX working again. I am very disappointed.
Once FIREFOX TRIES TO START the MENU BAR APPEARS AND THE LOCATION BAR APPEARS WITH NO PAGE SELECTED AND THE PINWHEEL STARTS TURNING. FROM THAT POINT ON MY COMPUTER IS LOCKED UP. Can you help PLEASE>

Can USB power off ?

Hello,
Can a USB port be powered-off automaticaly when putting the computer in sleep mode ?
I have a iBook G3 wich I keep cool with a dual-fan stand powered by the USB port. I'd like it to stop when the ibook "falls asleep"...
I couldn't find the answer on the net. Any idea ?

THese things can also be controlled by "drivers" for the device provided by the manufacturer.
As I understand it the Pangea controller in the iBook should send a "USB suspend" command when the computer goes to sleep. A properly "compliant" device should recognise this and put itself to "sleep" too.
It may be that there is a problem with the "driver" of this device (if it has one) or that an update is available from the device manufacturer to enable this.
See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1121.html for some basic information, but I'd suggest that you get in touch with the manufacturer of the stand to see if they provide any drivers capable of achieving what you want. Of course this would require that the fan system actually interacts with the USB ports data lines (ie it has some sort of built in processor control itself), and isn't simply taking a straight uncontrolled power feed.

Optical drive won't eject and can't power off from Apple menu!

I have a Quicksilver that has almost always acted great but ever since I physically moved the machine to another room I've been having intermittent problems. Here's a quick summary:
-Overall more sluggish performance
-Occasionally the optical drive won't eject and I have to restart the whole machine. (I did replace the drive a couple years ago but have never had any problems until now).
-I can no longer shut down/restart from the apple menu, i have to push the power button in.
I used to get device removal error messages at inappropriate times but that seems to have stopped since I reseated my USB 2.0 card. Here's a list of the other remedies I have tried:
-Repair permissions
-Make sure all cards/RAM seated properly
-Replaced PRAM battery (year was displaying 1970)
-Ran DiskWarrior
-Re-imaged entire boot drive
I can't remember if I've tried zapping the PRAM because this problem has been going on for about five months. None of this was an issue before I carted the machine into another room so hopefully I haven't dislodged anything. Also, I notice a lot of static build-up in the room despite the hardwood flooring. Perhaps that could be an issue and if so, any suggestions?
I was dreading that it could be my logic board, any advice?
thanks,
Jesse

Well....it may be fine for you to accept an inferior item, not I. I paid for a unit that was supposed to be fully operational and work as designed. I will not accept having to reboot every time I want to put a CD or DVD into my computer! That's like having to restart your car so the headlights work. Even if one doesn't drive at night, you would still expect the headlights to work ANYTIME you want them without the extra steps. I know "where" the issue is and I know "why" the issue is BUT unfortunately, there is not a fix I can find. Between uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and applications and etc. I give up. They will replace my unit according to Lenovo, with a brand new laptop. Should this one have the same issue, I will be disputing my CC charge, and sending the unit back to them for a full and complete refund. I wish I had a copy of WIn8 or Win7 without Lenovo's proprietary software embedded. I bet the unit would work as designed then, but to have them rewrite or add software with hooks directly into the core system is a recipe for disaster. I encourage you to do something about yours also. The more people that ALLOW this "type" manufactured fleecing, the more it will occur.
I guess I will find out just how well this replacement process works.

My screen went black and i can't power off my iphone 4 because the lock button is stuck, how can i get it working

That's what it 'does'.

"more storage space needed" prompt won't go away. Can't power off iPad to do so either. Suggestions?

The "Need more storage space" prompt came up, and has options to close or go to settings. It's frozen, but active. Neither option works. Stuck on screen and can't do anything else, beyond activate suri. Suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons until the iPad restarts, so you will be able to use it again
