Ipad1 sleep button doesn't work. Can't turn iPad off

Is there a way to reboot my. Ipad1 from software?  My. Keep button stopped functioning over a year ago and I need to. Clear memory so things will work again.

When I sync my iPad I am never able to complete the backup process. I leave it running for 12+ hours and it still only gets half way through or less (I have a 64Gb iPad with 49GB used). I have followed all the discussions in these forums and followed every suggestion from other people with this problem (deleted Zinio, use the correct cable, sync after restarting all machines, etc.), but nothing works. Now I just don't even expect my iPad to backup -- I just click the "X" to cancel backup and move to syncing.
Is there a way to turn off backup so that iTunes doesn't even bother trying?
Also, I foresee a problem when Apple releases the next OS update for iPad. OS updates make backup mandatory and last time it took 18 hours to backup and install the update. I can't go through that again!
I don't think turning off the backup is the best way to go. When this happens to me, it is always a bad file. It's hard, but just watch what's happening, and you'll find out what the issue is. Once, it was a corrupted music file and another time was a bad App.

    You'll have to upgrade your operating system first.
    Most, if not all, Cloud apps require at least OS X 10.7.

    The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    My phone sleep button does not work at all I can't turn phone on or off or unlock it

    Make a Genius Bar reservation for your nearest Apple store to have the Tech person create a repair order for you.  Be sure your phone is backed up to iCloud or iTunes prior to going in. 

  • Since replacing hard drive, "restore previous session" button doesn't work, can only do it through history tab. Also will not start up from task bar icon.

    Hi, been using Firefox for some years, had to replace hard drive recently and re loaded Firefox. Since then, the restore previous session button doesn't work, but I can do it from the History tab. Also Firefox itself won't start from the task bar or desktop, only the start menu.
    Using Windows XP

    This function may not be available for mobile yet. You can put your suggestions to the [[Suggestion Box]]. Thanks!

  • A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

    A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

    I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

  • TS3988 Can't turn iPad off due to iCloud

    I currently cannot turn my ipad off due to a window stating iCloud cannot access my account. Nor will it allow me to move forward when I press the two option buttons. One says Ignore, the other Settings. How do I get it to unlock so that I can shut my iPad off? And how do I make sure this doesn't happen again?
    Thanks,
    Melanie

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you able to do a hard reset (holding down the home button and off button down simultaneously for 6 seconds).

    Backup and restore your device. If still having problem, then its a hardware issue.

  • How to turn on iphone4 when holding home wake/sleep button doesn't work?

    hi
    There is no apple logo on the screen when i holding home and wake/sleep button for more than 15 seconds. I am trying to connect the phone to my laptop, however, there is no reaction on iphone or on laptop.
    Can anyone help me with that?
    Thank you

    Sometimes the reset can take 20 seconds or longer. How long have you held it? I would just hold it until you see the logo. Is the battery charged? If the battery has had a chance to discharge, you will have to plug the phone in to charge. If it gets to a point, it may turn on by itself. I would use the main charger for this. Also, if this method doesn't work, and it is not being recognized by the computer you may need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar as there could be a hardware defect causing this problem.

  • IPhone 4 sleep button doesn't work -help

    My Iphone4 on/off button is not working.  I cannot put my phone to sleep, to turn it off I have to use voice control, and to turn it back on I have to stick it on the charger.  I tried resetting it but that doesn't work.  Does anyone have a suggestion or has had the same problem.

    If you've done the usual restart, reset, and restore, and those haven't worked, it's time to bring your phone in to get checked out.

  • My wake/sleep button doesn't work, and my iphone 4 will not charge so how can i reset it?

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.
