Is it okay if we never shut down and just make the computer to sleep or we just put the flap(screen) to save the energy?

I recommend users to put their computers into sleep mode to save energy, and also, they won't waste time turning on their computers. You should only turn off your computer if you aren't going to use it for a very long time, but sleep mode is perfect. If you just turn off the display, your computer will still be working, so you mustn't do this unless you are going to use your computer in a short time

phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?
Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

I plugged in iPhone 5 charger to my MacBook Pro and it immediately shut down and I can't get it restarted. Any ideas how to do this without removing the battery?
If you have your MBP charger, try a SMC reset:

DELL Inspiron N5110 does not Shut Down and does not wake up from Sleep
Hello.
I have Dell Inspiron N5110 which cannot shut down neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu Linux. I specifically booted Ubuntu Live from the CD to eliminate the possibility that the problem is in the Windows 7. Shutdown in Ubuntu does not work either. This proves that the reason in not a BACKGROUND application in Windows that remains hanging and does not allow the laptop to shut down.
The laptop cannot wake up after Sleep or Hibernate either.
I have tried every solution that you advised to all the other people in the forum that have the same issue.
1. The laptop cannot shut down in Safe Mode either.
2. It cannot shut down even after Clean Boot Mode - all non-MS services disabled and all Startups disabled.
3. I tried changing the Advanced Power Options of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" - both ON for "On AC Power" and "Running on battery" - no change.
4. I tried installing the latest video drivers for Nvidia. This did not help either.
5. Running only on battery does not change anything - still cannot shutdown.
6. Running only on AC adapter without battery - still cannot shutdown.
7. I tried removing the AC adapter and battery and holding the POWER button for 30 seconds to RESET the laptop - did not work.
ATTENTION: I've been reading your forums all day and saw at least 10-15 reports of the same problem and not a single fixed case.
8. This is why I have not tried Flashing the BIOS to the latest version - I read other people tried that and it didn't work either.
9. I loaded BIOS default settings (F9) - still cannot shutdown.
REMARK: Changing something in the BIOS and trying to Exit once caused the laptop to freeze and I had to Power Off by holding the button for longer.
10. I ran DELL Diagnostics from Boot menu (F12 at startup) - no errors found.
11. I could not locate IEEE 1394 Adapter in Device Manager to change its Power Management settings.
Actually none of the suggestions you may give for changing something in Windows makes sense because I already mentioned that shut down in Ubuntu does not work either.
The issue seems to be either in the BIOS or a hardware problem. But which component? Is it the CD/DVD drive?
This is a new laptop.
Please advice how to proceed. If you know which component fails please tell me.Remove the keyboard and palm rest (guide from dell shows you how) and you should see a small coin cell battery. Remove it for at least 10 seconds, then put it back in. Enter BIOS and make sure there isn't anything weird that was changed. It should work properly now. I have had this working in Ubuntu 12.04 for the last few days, with no problems.

My ~4 yr old MacBook restarts whenever I tell it to shut down and won't properly go to sleep.
It will only shut down if I hold the power button. Late 2009 MacBook running 10.6.8. It does this in Safe Mode, I've done an SMC reset, the extended hardware test (no problems), and it doesn't seem to be connected to any particular application being opened or amount of time the computer was in use. Has anyone been able to fix this problem? I've seen a lot of forum posts with no solution.
Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them fix it.
I had a similar issue when I was syncing a friend's iPhone (I don't own one) in that the machine shut down when the iPhone was plugged in. But I was able to reboot. A lot of people seems to have the problem that you describe, however.

Computer Freezes and Hard Drive goes bad on shut down and re-start
I have MacBooks running Leopard. We have had several so far this school year where it has frozen on the user. The user holds down the power key to shut-down and re-start. On re-start, either it just gets to the solid gray screen or it might show the folder with the question mark. When I boot it up from an install disk and run disk utility...I try to repair the hard drive which often fails, the drive is grayed out, and I try to re-partition which also fails. I then send them in for AppleCare who has replaced the hard drives. I have about 2-3 a week so far and I'm curious why this is happening. We got the laptops in March so they are relatively new. Is it the shut down process? Remedies to help prevent the freeze up (I'm guessing the kids have too many apps running at one time)? other thoughts?
I'm not sure but have you tried getting them to shutdown through the apple menu instead of the power button?

I PHONE 4 shuts down and restart by itself
I had this problem for some time. Prior to doing it every two or three months. In recent days, first I could not turn on. When I finally made it working now. He shuts down and turns on himself. When working on it just stops, hangs up and turns off and restart again. Has anyone has a similar problem? How ga rid of?
Yes, it is entirely possible.
Although in most countries Apple offers an out of warranty replacement for a nominal fee. In the US it is $199 for the 4S and $149 for older generations of the iPhone. Depending on where you are, that may be an option. -

My iMac never shuts down properly
My iMac never shuts down properly, sometimes it says that i need to force quit my wireless internet but even when i do that it just has the white screen and I have to hold the power button down to turn it off properly, why is this and how can i stop it
Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
