Ipad2 Won't shut down / turn off

I was sending an email with just under 10mb of photos and my system froze. I left it for a while and nothing happened so then I tuned it off. I now have the rotating clock on a black screen (like that for over an hour). Are there any magic buttons tips  I can use push to re-boot please?

After posting this the similar topics to the side appeared. I held the sleep and home button down for around 15secs and it seems to be rebooting.

  • Ipad2 won't shut down

    My IPAD started to shut down and then starting beeping....I tried to turn it off and it won't do anything...completely frozen.
    Anyone know what has happened and how to fix it?

    Have you tried to reset your iPad? To reset press the Home button and On/Off button at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Ipad2 won't shut down even when i press the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.

    I can't shut down my ipad2 even when i press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.

    If the screen appears to be zoomed in, then does tapping the screen with three fingers zoom you back out ? When zoom is on you should also be able to scroll around the screen using three fingers on the screen.
    If you are seeing the keypad then that should be for the iPad's passcode, I assume that you have one set ? If the iPad is disabled then I wouldn't expect the keypad to show.

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down/force quit/log off...

    I've been having a problem turning my macbook pro off for about a week now. It won't shut down, force quit or log off. I've tried holding the power button down as well, with no luck. It won't even go to the sign in screen ....
    I'm not sure what the problem could be because I haven't done anything different lately... no new software, websites, etc.. Nothing came up with my Avast full system scan either.
    Help please! Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • My macbook pro won't shut down, restart or log off

    it's a month old. was behaving fine until about a week ago when it wouldn't shut down because itunes kept restarting itself whenever i quit. realised it was because of my alarm clock widget, which i've now removed. so the itunes is sorted, BUT, my mac still won't shut down.
    what can i do? someone told me to download onyx but i haven't a clue what to do with it?

    Don't upgrade to Snow Leopard in the hope that it will eliminate any preexisting problems on your MBP — it almost certainly won't, and you may have other problems as well (e.g., incompatible applications and startup items). Solve the problem first, then perform the upgrade.
    If you Safe Boot the computer, will it shut down normally afterward? If so, disable all third-party startup items (System Preferences > Accounts > select your account and click the Startup Items tab), boot normally, and test again. If you can still shut down normally, one of the startup items is at fault. Re-enable them one at a time, testing after each addition, until you determine which one is causing the problem.
    There are also applications that can run in the background and don't show up in the Force Quit dialog box — but they do appear in Activity Monitor when you instruct it to list Active Processes. Some can interfere with shutdown by refusing to quit when the Shut Down command is given. If the suggestion in the preceding paragraph yields no progress, let us know what processes are active on your computer when no applications are shown in the Force Quit dialog box.

  • External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

    i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
    can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
    i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
    thanks

    Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
    This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 hangs on certain pages and won't shut down - even in Task Manager

    Using Windows XP Media Home Edition. Whenever I visit certain sites (today it was ktlk.com) Firefox becomes unresponsive and won't shut down - even using Task Manager. The only way to use Firefox again is to re-boot the computer. No error report.

    This started for me in the past couple of days. Firefox will start to load a page and then it stops and will not load any page that I try to open. When I close the program it still appears in Task Manager and will not end. The only way I can stop it is to reboot. It does not seem to happen all the time. I suspect it might be flash related since the first time it crashed was on YouTube. It also happened during a Google image search. I turned off all add-ons in safe mode and it still happened.

  • Upgraded to 10.4.8-My Powerbook G4 won't shut down or restart

    Upgraded this weekend from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 and now my PowerBook G4 12" won't shut down. Nor will it restart.
    It does clear the screen of the menu bar and all items on the desktop, but that is all. Desktop picture remains the same. There is no indication of any activity but it never proceeds farther than that. Shutdown and restart both act the same way.
    Solutions?
    I can turn off the computer using the power switch when this happens. Then I reboot by pushing the power switch again.
    I've also tried repairing permissions which seems not to have changed anything.
    It's quite a nuisance. Any ideas on solutions?

    OK, you may have deeper problems. First, go to System Preferences/Accounts, and make a 'Test" account, with full admin privileges. Switch to that account, by logging out of the manin account (Apple Menu), and see if you still have the same symptom. If you do, and Archive and Install might be the cure.
    Note: Save the combo update, to perfrom the upgrade again.

  • MacPro won't shut down

    In Finder I scroll to shut down. The icons disappear but the computer won't shut down. I had to do a hard shut down. When I turned it back on, nothing had changed.. I am able to find the finder in the the dock. So, how do I get my computer to turn off? Thanks.

    I was having a similar problem with mine, and I found out it was caused by a corrupt plist file from migrating old files over from my previous Mac. Specifically, the com.apple.loginitems.plist and com.apple.loginwindow.plist files.
    Once I trashed them and restarted, everything worked just fine.

  • When I tried to shut down my IPad( by sliding the red bar) the spinning gear started spinning and it won't shut down. The gear has been spinning for 18 hrs now. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

    When I tried to shut down my other Ipad(by sliding the red bar) the gear symbol started spinning but it won't shut down--the gear is still spinning 18 hrs later.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.

  • 10.5.8 won't shut down after bad SD disk removal.  It stops all applications but won't get past the final shut down screen.

    I had a disk error with a SD disk from my camera.  Removed the disk from the card reader and got the Disk Removal Error alert.  Then the whole thing froze up on me.  Noting else would eject, No other apps would shut down and basically nothing worked.  I couldn't shut down so I removed the battery.  Restarted the computer ok then tried to repair the SD disk in question.  No luck on the repair so ejected it again.  Then tried to restart OS and it won't shut down again except everything still works but it just won't shut down.

    Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.

  • Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

    Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
    Thanks.
