IPhone won't sleep or restart

i noticed that lately i can't put the phone to sleep (button on top). also having problems deleting email since the upgrade 2 days ago. so i decided to restart and that doesn't work (home + sleep for 10 secs = nothing). so i restored it to factory settings via itunes and still no luck with the sleep/restart.
what's next?

Call AppleCare - (800) 694-7466.

  • Won't Sleep only Restart after 10.6.6 upgrade

    Since the upgrade (via Software Update) to 10.6.6 I put my Mac Pro to sleep like normal (Apple icon, select Sleep) and the machine goes into sleep mode, screen goes off and sleep light comes on.
    When I click the mouse to wake it again, the machine restarts and I have to log back in. Obviously I've the workspace I had. The sleep light is on all the time prior to my clicking the mouse button to wake it.
    Any help with this would be appreciated. Until this update I never had a problem with sleep mode and used it day in, day out. Thanks.

    First, use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    Then download the 10.6.6 Combo update, from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse,Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.

  • Original iPhone won't sleep or turn off

    The unit seems to function fine (apps, calls, voicemail) but after twenty seconds in sleep mode, it wakes itself back up for twenty seconds, then repeats. When coming out of sleep mode, it flashes what looks like a text message box for a fraction of a second, too fast to read. I've tried to turn it off completely but when I do it automatically turns itself back on. This is the 4G model.

    I had the same issue with my iPhone 3G, and -- purely on a hunch -- fixed it by draining the battery completely (until the iPhone turned itself off). I then charged the iPhone for about 10 minutes (only so I could turn it back on), and then tried turning it off (using the "slide to power off" feature). This time it stayed off. I have tested it a few times since, and so far have not come across the same problem again.
    A quicker way of draining the battery would be to turn up your brightness all the way, turn on push email/location services/3G (if they are not already on), and start a photo slideshow to accelerate the battery usage (and possibly prevent burn-in).
    Hope that helps.
    PS Do any of you use a third party sync cable? (such as a Griffin Powerjolt USB cable.)

  • Mountain Lion won't sleep, shut down, restart, or log out.

    Hi All,
    After Mountain Lion my 2010 iMac 27" won't sleep, shut down, restart, or log out.
    Basically most functionalities of clicking the apple icon are disabled - "About this Mac" doesn't work either.
    Please help!
    Before Apple fixes this, is there another way of putting my Mac to sleep or shut down?

    Just adding another voice to the chorus.  Since upgrading to Mountain Lion my computer will not sleep.  The cursor freezes when I try to invoke sleep but the computer and monitor remain on.  The cursor unfreezes when I tap the spacebar the way I would normally do to wake from sleep.  Fortunately, shutdown, restart and logout function normally, so I guess I should count my blessings.  This isn't my only problem with Mountain Lion, but I didn't want to muddy the waters on this thread with other issues.

  • My iPhone won't go into sleep mode after bluetooth pairing

    I've recently acquired a Parrot MiniKit Neo (a bluetooth remote dialer) and after I paired it with my iPhone 4S / iOS 6, this one does not enter in sleep mode anymore (the brightness of the screen down after 50 seconds and after 10 seconds more, it wakes up automatically instead to go into sleep mode).
    Reset my iPhone (holding power + home button) solved this problem until I've paired again my iPhone with MiniKit.
    I didn't tried another bluetooth devices like headset.

    I've checked through my apps, I can't seem to find anything that would cause this. For some apps that have internet access I've turned them off.
    I tried going into Activity Monitor and quitting all the running processes, including those for Finder and stuff, most of these system processes starts up again. But even when I have quit everything that I can quit, the computer won't sleep.
    I've tried disconnecting the internet, unplugging all my extras and shutting off Time Machine, but still insomnia. I've tried logging into the guest account but still insomnia.
    I went to Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences>System Configuration and deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement and the com.apple.AutoWake.plist, rebooting and testing. But still insomnia. I've also deleted the User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and still no succes.
    I've removed all the widgets, removed all startup items, and still no success.
    It's not really a big issue, but the fact that I can't find the cause is driving me crazy!

  • Iphone won't restart

    My iphone won't restart when I press and hold the restart button. the apple logo comes on screen for a second then a visual of a usb cord and an arrow pointing to an itunes icon appears. Is there something I can do or do I have to take my phone to the Apple store? Please help.

    You have to put the phone in the cradle so it can restore from iTunes.
    If this doesn't work you can try Recovery mode. Restart your computer, launch iTunes, then put the phone in the cradle while holding the HOME button. Continue holding the HOME button until the phone enters Recovery mode (about 20 seconds). It should then restore from your computer.

  • G5 WON'T WAKE FROM SLEEP AND RESTARTS WHEN PUT TO SLEEP

    My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong category. I am having some major problems with my iMac G5 running Tiger. The first problem was that when I put the computer to sleep it would not wake up from sleep.
    I took it to the Apple store and they found nothing wrong with it. Now when I try to put the computer to sleep it restarts. I thought maybe I had just pressed the restart rather than sleep mode by mistake but when I attempted to put it to sleep a second time it restarted just like before.
    It's a bizarre problem I know but I'm wondering if you have any ideas as Apple says if they can't get the computer to recreate the error they won't do anything to fix it

    Do you have any USB devices connected (other than keyboard and mouse)? If the display has an USB cable, disconnect that too.

  • MBP 2 won't sleep manually, w/closed lid and hangs on shutdown/restart

    So basically, when I'm done using it I have to hard shutdown.
    I have-
    zapped PRAM
    reset SMC
    trashed those pref files
    fixed/check permissions & the disk
    This thing in like 2 weeks old less than 10 hours of use for peep's sake! I bought this MBP2 to be my backup so I can take my G5 dual core in to get fixed so now that will have to wait.

    Meaning MacMall doesn't accept returns on Apple products. If it has a problem, like mine, you have to go to Apple to get it fixed. You can't send it back for a new one.
    Update- I just erased and installed and the problems are still there. It won't sleep manually, (will by itself but then screen won't wake) it won't shutdown and it hangs at restart. Hard reboot is my only option right now because no one here seems to have a solution so I guess I'm calling Apple.

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

  • IPhone won't sync after upgrading to Leopard

    My iPhone won't sync, or even show up in iTunes, after upgrading to Leopard. I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro, trying different USB slots, closing and reopening iTunes, everything. Has anyone else had this problem??
    I've tried everything apple suggests:
    1. The iPhone battery might need to be recharged. For information about charging iPhone, see "Charging the Battery" in the iPhone User's Guide.
    2. If that doesn't work, disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPhone to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
    3. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
    4. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and reconnect iPhone to your computer.
    5. If that doesn't work, download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Follow the link below for info on how to do this.

  • My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

    i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and  this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

    I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
    My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
    After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

  • Iphone won't power up.

    My iphone won't power up since yesterday morning. The back of it got a little wet on Saturday night but was working fine until yesterday. Any suggestions ?

    It would help if you would clarify what " I have tried everything" means.
    Have you tried restart, reset, restore?
    Page 34 of the manual:
    "If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
    problem.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
    hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: 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.

    Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
