Iphone 4 slide to unlock is not working

Hey tamara70,
I found the following recommended steps for when you're unable to Slide to Unlock:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

HT201412 Slide to unlock does not work no matter what we try. Phone receives calls and messages but we cannot answer either because the phone will not respond

iPhone 4s: Slide to unlock doea not work. Phone receives calls and messages but we cannot answer. We have tried numberous times to turn on/off to no avail.

It sounds like your phone is broken.

I never set a passcode for my iPad but it is locked and I can't get it unlocked. The "slide to unlock" does not work. How do I get it unlocked?

I never set up a passcode for my iPad 2 but it is locked and I can't unlock it. The "slide to unlock" does not work. Any suggestions on how to unlock it?

You have to slide to unlock to bring up the keyboard if a passcode is set. If you can't slide then try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

My USA purchased iPhone 4S factory unlock is not working in India as it gets no signal bars

Hi,
I got my iPhone 4S from USA, which came with AT&T sim in it. It was sold as factory unlocked but when I inserted Indian sim card in it , there appeared the name of the service provider but no signals.
Can anybody help as what best can be done to resolve this issue.
Please help. !

You do not have an unlocked iPhone 4S. Those have not yet been released in the US, and will never be available from AT&T. You may have an iPhone purchased without a contract, but it is locked to AT&T, who do not unlock iPhones at any time for any reason. Return the iPhone to the place you purchased it and get your money back, since you will not be able to use that iPhone with an Indian carrier. I'd suggest you wait until the iPhone 4S is released in India rather than purchase from another country, since the warranty on the iPhone is valid only in the country of original sale.
Regards.

Unable to connect to iTunes coz my iPod is locked. i'm unable to unlock my iPod coz my "slide to unlock" is not working

my above title refers... PLEASE HELP! I wanna cry already!

That's what I did last night - restore it to factory setting via iTunes. It worked fine last night afterwards but this morning when I tried to turn it on again, it's stuck at the "slide to unlock" screen... since 3 hours ago. I can't possibly restore it to factory setting every other day! It's too time consuming. If I leave the ipod on continuously it starts to lag and freeze after 2-3 days.
It saddens me because I spent $100 on a medical app recently for school and if the ipod keeps on like this, I won't be able to use the app to look up things when I have no computer access...

My slide to unlock do not work, how do I fix this problem

My slide to unlock is frozen how do I fix this problem?

The first step is to reset your iPad. Press the black power button on the upper right side of your device and round "on" button at the same time, for four seconds. The device is "off." Now, press the black power button; after a minute or so, the iPad will (hopefully) return to normal operation.
Please post here with your results!

Iphone 5 slide to unlock is not getting swiped & its Wake/Sleep button not working

Iphone 5 Wake/Sleep button is not working and the phone 5 is not getting unlock (the slide to unlock is not getting swiped).
The phone is in warranty and was purchased from US. Apple is denying to provide any kind of support as they say that the Iphone has opened eventhough it has not been opened.
I must say that the quality of apple has been going down & down after Steve Jobs demise.

So what would you like us USERS here to do for you?

If I buy an unlocked iPhone 5 can I replace my virgin mobile iPhone 4s or will it not work with virgin mobile?

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

IPhone 3G "slide to unlock" won't work

iPhone 3G, ~18 months old. "slide to unlock" will not unlock phone. Touch screen cannot sense touches close to edge of screen, i.e. keyboard input "p" in portrait mode, space bar in landscape mode, cannot move app icons from one screen to another, etc. Restoring will permit you to make one call, but once screen timeout occurs, no longer usable.
Called Apple today to determine support options, there are NONE. Plus, you have to spend $29 to talk to someone after 12 months. I was told it would cost $125 to repair the phone. Never offered the option of upgrading to an iPhone 3G for free or the iPhone 4 for a significantly smaller sum.
Extremely disappointed, especially as an investor. Apple is sitting on $60B in cash reserves and they are not standing behind their products. If this was the first time I would let it go. But after having been thru similar support problems with three Apple AirPorts, two Time Capsules with junk power supplies that cannot be repaired, two PowerBooks with faulty hinges, and MacBook Air batteries, I am now venting. To top it off, I had to listen to a friend this weekend complain about similar issues, so we scheduled an appointment to visit the local Apple store only to be told when we got there we would have to wait another half hour. Given that all the components are sourced from external vendors, you would think Apple as part of a quality control program would have some interest in redesigning bad parts, identifying faulty components, and returning them back to their suppliers for repair, replacement or even better, credit. It might just ease some of the pressure at the Genius Bar.
You cannot grow without keeping your existing customer base.

Reset it: Hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

My slide to unlock doesn't work, how do I fix it?have a square box so cant slide

Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod. If still problem it is a hardware problem.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following maybe less expensive. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Fix it yourself

Slide to unlock does not slide (repeat)

Hi, everyone. I actually raised this question a few nights ago, but then two respondents had some odd fight on the disussion board (about what I have no idea), and I never got a resolution.
Anyway, my slide to unlock does not slide. I have connected my Ipad to Itunes, and restored the factory settings an rebooted a few times. No luck. For what it is worth, the "slide to power off" does work.
Any theories on what I should do next?
Thanks,
Jack

I was one of the respondents and what I/we said is not totally uncommon on this site - I realize that our dialog was of no help to you and I apologize for that as well.
And I agree with the gentleman from Tampa. I don't think that there is anything more that you can do if you have restored the device to factory settings.
The only thing that I would add is that when you restored to factory settings - did you restore to a backup as well? If you did, then the backup may be corrupt and the problem could be in your backup. If you restored to factory settings and then tried the iPad - without adding any content at all - you should make an appointment with an Apple Genius and let them have a look.

Slide to Unlock Does not respond.

I have the new iPad. When I turn it off and then back on, the slide to unlock does not respond. However, when I do slide it and wait a little bit, it does unlock. Is there anything I can do to get the slide to unlock to respond?

I have the same problem as dberkovich and I too did resets, restores, reboot, etc. Still acts the same.
Power up iPad (3-new)
slide to unlock is frozen, lights do not move in the background,
wait 10-15 seconds, screen goes black
push home button and slide to unlock is working perfectly.
This occurs everytime after complete power off and then back on.
Took it to a Mac Store,(not Apple store) and representative said "We've never heard of this and it may be software and you should take it to an Apple store."
Fact: My nearest Apple store is about a 3 hour drive each way with even no traffic.
This problem occured when my software was updated with IOS6.
