Iphone 5 alarm and power off buttons

I have an Iphone 5 and have two questions:
I have my alarm set for a certain time on weekdays and it just does not go off.  The only time it goes off is when I switch the phone on or lift the flap (cover for my phone).  The airplane mode is off.  Can this be rectified and if yes, how?
When I want to switch the cell phone off via the silver button on the top right hand side, it sometimes says "slide to power off" and other times, just goes off.  What is the difference between the two and could this be affecting my alarm as well?  On the odd occasion, when I switch the cell phone off (without the "slide to power off" option) it just goes off and then I still receive sms or e-mail notifications sounds during the night.
Your assistance in this regard will be most appreciated!

1:  The alarm will only work when the phone is on.
2: Try This...
Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
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. Release the Buttons.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

    When you plug it in to iTunes does it show up under devices? Try restoring it. That's the best thing you can do if you're out of warrenty

  • Disable "Power on" and "Power off" buttons in VM Manager 2.2.2

    Hi Everyone,
    I'd like to modify the role "user" and disable the "Power on" and "Power off" buttons so that a username that logs on to the VM Manager that belongs to the user role cannot power on/off a VM. Is this possible?
    Many Thanks

    The only way of tracking this up would to be to setup multiple individual users. At least you could see which user then powers off / on a VM from the list of jobs on the gui..

  • How can I turn off my iphone without using the power off button

    I dropped my Iphone 5s in water and now the screen won't allow me to slide it over to power off. There's some water in the screen and it's not working correctly.

    Press and hold the "Sleep/Wake" button located on the top of the iPhone.
    Hold the "Home" button on the front of the iPhone while continuing to hold the Sleep/Wake button.
    Release the buttons as soon as the iPhone's screen turns black to turn it off. Do not continue to hold the buttons or the device will reset.
    Hope it can help you.
    Merry Christmas!

  • Alarm and power off

    Hello all. I've been with ATT for 15+ years (I think) and finally got an iphone. On most of my previous phones the alarm would work while the phone was powered off. Sometimes I had low power with no charger, I guess. Anyway I found out that the iphone doesn't work like this. Can I do something with the settings or do I just need to leave it on at night? Thanks,
    Jerry

    When the iPhone is OFF, it is completely OFF and nothing will function, including the alarm.
    The alarm will work in Sleep mode. http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#basics.sleepwake-button
    However, a text message notification or any application notification which is not acknowledged, will prevent your alarm from working.
    Airplane mode will prevent those notifications, but also prevent phone calls. http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#settings.airplane-mode
    I find the iPhone a convenient alarm, but when I really have to be someplace, I rely on a real wind-up alarm clock or my clock radio.

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

  • I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
    With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPhone 5 continues to power off and on every 10 seconds

    My iPhone 5 continues to power off and on every 10 seconds. It'll turn on, the apple icon appears, it then goes to my lock screen pretty quickly, then shuts off and does it all over again. How can I fix this? If I have backed up my phone to iCloud will I lose things like my notes and pictures?

    Hey kenziephipps,
    To make sure we are on the same page, you cannot keep your phone powered on as it turns off right after you see the slide to unlock screen after booting up. I would advise to try to restore your iPhone by following the steps in the article below. To answer your second questions, you should have it all backed up in iCloud like you said you did unless you made changes to what is backed up. With that if you did not make any changes you will have it backed up.
