IPhone Will Not Power Off or Go Into Silent Mode

Yesterday I discovered that I had my phone switch flipped to Silent Mode, and my phone was still making the General Sounds and Still Ringing. No matter what I do I can't get it to Vibrate instead of ring.
Also it will not power off, no matter how long I hold the button nothing happens, it wont even lock. I tried performing a hard rest by holding the Home Key & Power Button, but instead of reseting the Voice Control pops up and my iPod starts playing.
Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated ♥

- Try another cable.
- Try on another computer
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iphone will not power off

    My Iphone 4s will not power off and the battery is draining with a couple of hours ? Help please

    Try an iPhone reset first which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. This is similar to a computer restart.
    Try powering the iPhone off again after doing so.

  • My iPhone will not power off. It automatically turns back on after trying to shut it off. Any Ideas?

    My iPhone 5 will not power off. I hold the power button down and it lets me turn it off but then it automatically turns back on. It is as if I am just restarting it. Any ideas on how to fix it? I already had it exchanged and the replacement is now doing it.

    I had this same problem about a year ago. It is most likely because debris has been caught in the cable connector. Get a cotton bud or something soft so that you don't cause any damage, and gently clean the inside of the dock connector of your phone. Do not use any liquids. Hope this helps.

  • IPhone will not power off, app will not change , two screens display at one time

    Hello, I have a phone that is stuck on one app. Can hold the off button for 3 minutes and will not turn off. Will hold the lower button to change app's and nothing. Can change subjects in the app stuck in and can see both screens while scrolling. Going to let the phone run out of power to see if that will help, but very inconveinent

    I seem to have found the answer by my own foolishness....
    I held down the on/off button on top and the "belly button" on the front bottom and whoosh! it came back to life.
    It would sure be nice if Apple would restore the Troubleshooting area of their website and include information like this so Luddites like myself could keep a lower blood pressure....

  • HT1349 Phone will not power off or take picture

    My iPhone will not power off.

    Try to reset it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  If it won't reset just let the battery run down until it turns off, then recharge it.

  • My iPad will not power off

    I have a 32GB iPad 1st Gen. It sits with a pinwheel rotating, but will not power off. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, it says there is an unknown problem connecting this iPad. What Can I do?

    I'm sure you've tried the hard reset using the home and power button?  If that won't work, next check your cables.  If you own a iPod, or iPhone and have mixed up the sync cables, that can sometimes cause an issue depending on how old they are.  If that doesn't work, I'd try a different computer with iTunes on it, if you have it, or a buddy to see if it recognized then.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • My lock button is broken and my iphone will not power back on when I charge it, how do I turn it on?

    My iphone will not power on when I plug it into charger in the wall, computer, or car. My lock button is broken and I do not know how to turn it back on. My phone did not die it just went black and has not been dropped, cracked, or gotten wet. What do I do?

    Normally one would do a reset, however without the lock button, which is the sleep/wake button, you cannot do a reset. You could always wait until the battery dies to see if it will start when plugged in, but the sleep/wake button is an integral part of the phone and needs to work to do a number of functions. I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it fixed.

  • IPhone will not turn off.

    My iPhone will not turn off. I did a restore about a week ago to repair the problem following which the phone would turn off albeit with some difficulty: I had to hold the top button down and not merely click it before the phone turned off but not so long that I would get the shut-down screen.
    Now, however, even after doing another restore, the iPhone will simply not turn off, no matter how long I hold down the top button. Nor do I ever get the shut-down screen. I've had to turn on the auto-lock option so that while I'm carrying the phone around it does not randomly dial or go online.
    I'm guessing this might be a hardware failure but wanted to check first to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

    If it's doing that after a restore, it more than likely issue on your logic board. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.

  • My sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into wall charger. even then wont work

    my sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into the wall charger. even then when the screen finally comes on it has the wrong date and just says searching. wont do anything.

    What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT201412 My ipad mini will not power off. The ICloud Backup  reminder is stuck on the screen and will not clear off.

    My ipad mini will not power off, nor will it respond to any commands.  The ICloud Backup reminder (which I do not use and have not activated)is stuck on the screen and will not clear.

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.
