I cannot turn off my iPad

No matter how I tried my iPad not turning off

Just in case you're a new ipod user: Keep your finger on the top power button (about 3 to 5 seconds) until the red power off slider appears on top of the screen. Then, with your finger slide it to your right.
If you've been doing this, then there is probably a hardware issue causing this problem.

IPAD Mini Freezing up in installation mode as it is installing Update iOS 8.1.3 . I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini . How do I resolve this problem?

iPAD Mini purchased for Xmas 2013 is freezing as it tries to complete the installation of the iOS update 8.1.3. The screen his frozen on the installation mode and I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini. How do I turn off the iPAD Mini and resolve this problem?

Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.

Cannot turn off my ipad

Hi,
I have an Ipad mini, suddenly showed up a sign saying that I should make a buck up, I click "ok" but the sign does't go. I cannot even turn off my Ipad.
How can I solve this problem??
Awaiting for somebody's answer.
Cheers!

If need help with iPad go to the iPad forums... Will get answer faster most possibly.

Why I cannot turn off the iPad at first attempt?

I got my iPad few weeks back (32GB + 3G).
The only strange thing I encounter so far is may be 4 out of 5 times, when I tried to turn off the iPad, it will jump back to the lock screen again.
On the second attempt then I can turn off the iPad.
What could be the problem? should I send in for a replacement?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Perhaps you have an app running. Try force quitting.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't make a difference, reset your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds until you see the Apple logo.
Make sure your iPad software is up to date. Connect the iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes if it doesn't open automatically. Under the Summary tab click: Check for Update

TS4036 My iPad states that "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. I cannot turn off my iPad, click on the "OK" button and the message doesn't disappear.

How do I get my iPad to back up when I can't get the alert off my screen, can't turn it off ?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I cannot access my iPad, it won't come on or off. I have a message on it that needs only to press ok which i cannot get off in order to turn off my iPad but it will not do what it must do. My iPad is nearly five months old can you help me please?

I have an ipad which is four months and three weeks old nearly. I have a message on it telling me that my macbook has been found. I only have to press
ok for it to go away.
I press it and it wont go away, I try to turn off my ipad and cannot do so why is this? and can you instruct me how to get rid of it and get the machine to turn on ples.

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode. In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes. It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up. Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example). Any thoughts on how to turn it off? Thanks.

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

Ipad is frozen after attempting to download IOS upgrade. Wish i hadn't. Cannot turn off. What are the options.

You will have to force the iPad into recovery mode and data will be lost unless you have a backup.

TS4006 My passcode requirement was turned off when I updated to iOS 7. It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off.

My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.

Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

Yes, you will need to restore your iPad. This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad
search on ios 7 ipad greek keyboard
to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
to do that you need to unlock your ipad
to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
to do that you need a greek keboard
to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
and so on and son
thank you apple

Try holding the power and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears. If still bad, try a restore from within the computer&itunes.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iPad is frozen on an app or in the homescreen, hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again
