IPad 1 won't shut off

My iPad 1 won't shut off. I've held the sleep button down for up to a minute but the shut off slider never pops up. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

1. Let the iPad run till it auto shut down
2. Charge the battery
3. Restart and see if problem goes away.

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

My ipad won't shut off...apple icon is on display and cannot get red slider

My ipad won't shut off...apple icon is on display and cannot get red slider. I've tried holding down the shut off button and home button at the same time and the apple icon disappears for a few seconds and comes right back up.

Try a reset a few more times.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

HT203987 My Apple iPad won't shut off or close down. How do I get it to shut off'

I Have an Apple IPad tablet.it is a 32 gb. IOS 8.1.3 when I try to shut it down I know there use to be a bar that you slide to close it.but now I can't find it . I held the button down for 10 to 20 seconds but it still won't shut off. If I let it go during the nite while I sleep I can hear it makeing a dinging sound like I get when a notification shows up. but it won't completely shut down . How do I get it to shut off.

TTry a reset. Hold down on the sleep AND home buttons at the same time - for 10 seconds or so - until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. When the logo appears, let go of the buttons and let the iPd start up. After it starts up, then try to shut down again.
BTW, I amost never shut my iPads or iPhone off. I simply let them sleep. I recharge the battery when needed but always while the iPads or phone is still powered up.

I wasn't able to access my email on my pad, so I tried to shut it off, thinking I needed a software update. Now my ipad won't shut off. Any ideas?

My email was a white blank screen on my ipad. Thinking I needed a software update, I tried to shut it off. Now all I have is a black screen and the "working" logo in the center, but it won't shut off.
Any ideas?

When you reset the iPad, wait until the Apple logo appears on the screen before you let go of the buttons.
Hold 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.

iPad 2 won't shut off, the little wheel just turns and turns and nothing happens. Can you do a hard restart?

To do a hard restart: Press the Home button and the On/off button at the same time and hold until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Ipad 2 won't shut off.

My ipad 2 won't shut off. I've even tried the hard shut down, holding down the home button and the power button at e same time and nothing happened. It runs like normal except I can't get it o power down anyone have any ideas?

You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If that doesn't work, try restoring from a backup - if you have a current backup that was created before this problem occurred.

HT4623 iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

My ipad also does not shut down. I've tried to reboot a million times (holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously). I've tried resetting everything (after successfully backing up on iCloud). I tried the remote reboot (backing up ipad on iCloud, then on a separate computer, log on to iCloud, locate your device, clear all, reboot everything). Nothing worked. Took the ipad to the tech dept at the store, and they said its a mechanical failure of the power button, either the sensor or spring. Without the extended warranty, costs $250 to fix, because the screen is glued down to the machine. With the warranty, they would have replaced it for free. Ugh. My ipad is 1.5 years old. It would have been covered. But it shouldn't be so easy to damage! Outrageous that ipads are so glitchy at this price point. Outside techies can fix, but the machine could be damaged because of the way it's made.
Another option the techie at apple told me about, which won't shut down the ipad but will take it to the locked home screen, is go to Settings, General, Accessibility, under physical and motor, turn on the Assistive touch. That adds a button to the screen. Select Device, then Lock, and that takes you straight to the black screen. Not a total power down but maybe it burns through the battery less.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
That being said, try to reset the device:
*Device reset*
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

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

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

The iPad is telling you it has entered the recovery mode - you need to follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 for connecting to a computer running iTunes by way of the recovery mode.
