Ios8 iphone won't power off

I updated to iOS 8 last night on my iPhone 5.  Now I have all kinds of problems.  The power button diesn't respond, so I can't power down.  I can't close an open app with the double tap and up swipe.  Some apps just freeze, like massaging.  Ffter a double tap to close an app (which I alredy said does not work), I can't get back to the home screen; I have to wait for maybe 5 or 10 seconds for it to go back on its own.  Mail doesn't download. What's going on?

Hey ChrisFromMaryland,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing multiple issues with your iPhone 5. To completely isolate these issues, it may be best to backup and restore your device as new:

  • Iphone won't power up.

    My iphone won't power up since yesterday morning. The back of it got a little wet on Saturday night but was working fine until yesterday. Any suggestions ?

    It would help if you would clarify what " I have tried everything" means.
    Have you tried restart, reset, restore?
    Page 34 of the manual:
    "If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
    problem.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
    hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
    same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on

    Reset iPhone settings. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset
    Reset All Settings. All your preferences are reset, but your data and media aren’t
    deleted.
    If that doesn’t work, erase all content on iPhone. See “
    Resetting iPhone” on page 111.
    If that doesn’t work, restore the iPhone software. See “

  • IPod screen illuminates but no image; iPod won't power off

    iPod hard drive whirrs and screen illuminates, but no image (text or other) appears. iPod won't power off. iPod is recognized by iTunes only when in disk mode. Multiple restores were useless in restoring the screen function. Tools such as Disk Utility and Disk Warrior verified the directories were satisfactory. Can't locate a hardware diagnostic tool that can diagnose an iPod; and because the screen is malfunctioning, I can't run the iPod's built-in diagnostic routines.
    Any solutions, or is this iPod destined for the repair shop?

    If your iPod will not power off, unplug it from any power supply and wait for it to run the battery down completely. Then it will power off simply because there is not enough power to keep it running. (It may take 24 hours to do this.) Once this has happened, plug the iPod back into your computer. After about 30 minutes, you should see the "Please wait, very low battery" message. After a while longer, the iPod will have enough power and should reset itself. If not, re-post, but see below.
    At the bottom of your post you state that you have a 30GB video iPod. In that case, if you need to re-post, it would be better in the 5th generation iPod forum, (either 5th generation or 5th gen late - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for more information) as there will be posts from owners of the same model as you have, and with the same problems.

  • My iphone won't power on. It just stopped working. What do I do?

    My Iphone won't power on. It just stopped working. It' been working fine with no porblems whatsover. Go figure. What do I do?

    I had this same issue today and my battery said it was 98% life. I only bought this iphone 5 exactly one month ago new, Wonder if the battery is already having issues this early. I charge it every evening and I have never gone in a single day below 73% battery life.

  • HT5323 power shows 38% the iphone will  be power off

    From one month ago, I found out that once my iphone shows has around 30-38% power, if I want to keep on using my iphone, I have to charge it , otherwise it will power off immediately. Why? Because usually iphone should be power off when iphone shows only lower than 5% power.  Is it becuase of the system is IOS.7.0.4? Or just because ihpone can only use 1 year? My iphone's age is less than 2 years old! It is iphone 4s.
    By the way, why all other people's discussion's all to my email even I setted No!

    let it power down completely. dont plug it in until it shuts off on its own. then plug it in and let it charge to %100 before u unplug it. that should help with the %38 percent part
    if not then reset all settings (settings>general>reset>reset all settings). that should clear the cache data for it and fix that.

  • Tecra Won't Power Off

    Problem,  Shut downj gets as far as Windows is shutting down, period.  Have to remove battery to shut down!  Have used system restore t9o njo avail.  Help!

    You can press and hold the power button for ten seconds to force it to turn off.
    When it won't power off it is usually a software issue.  If system restore didn't work, you could try the full factory restore from the recovery discs.
    If you don't want to do that, try safe mode and make sure that it shuts down from then use msconfig to remove start up items to see what is causing it.

  • Iphone won't shut off properly, has frozen on spinning wheel screen

    iphone won't shut off properly, has frozen on spinning wheel screen

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new device", explained here iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore and here How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

  • My iPhone won't power on

    My iphone won't power on.  Quit suddenly last night.  I have tried holding the sleep button and home button simultaneously for 30 seconds but that didn't work.  any other suggestions?

    take it back where you bought it, It should still be under warranty.

  • My iphone won't turn off. What can I do?

    when i try to get my text, the screen is blank. \ i tried to turn off my iphone and start it again to see if that would help, and it won't turn off. is there a way to turn it off other than holding the button on top down?

    Do a reset, hold down the home and power button for a couple seconds until you see the apple logo.

  • IPhone won't turn off or connect to wifi

    I have the iPhone 4S and recently I have been encountering many problems with it. I don't know if they are problems with the hardware or the software but my facetime hasn't worked in a long time and my phone hasn't connected to wifi in the past two months. Sometimes the wifi turns off and the bar to turn it back on is dim while other times it turns on but doesn't acknowledge anything to connect to. In addition to the wifi troubles, occasionally my phone screen will turn black for a little while and after some time it will just wake up. The apple doesn't show up so I guess that means the phone isn't turning off- just sleeping. Also, sometimes my apps won't load and then my phone will automatically turn off. Occasionally, my touch screen stops acknowledging the fact that I'm touching it and other times my phone won't turn off. I hold down the power button and the phone just goes to sleep. As you can probably tell, my phone has been malfunctioning a lot and it is starting to get annoying. I don't want my apps to be deleted because I have some that are no longer in the app store and they are very valuable to me. My computer storage is too full to back up my phone though. Any suggestions on how to solve my problem without deleting my apps or any of their saved information?
    Thanks,
         A frustrated iPhone owner

    Hard to tell. However, since the iPhone does not have user serviceable components, once you opened the device, you forfeit any warranty or post warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are going to have to try and figure this one out on your own.

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.
