Is there a way to turn the iPad off without using the power button?

I have the new iPad air.
LOVE IT!
One thing though...I have a folio style cover on it, magnet closure = power off.
The case does not allow for power button access, and there are times when I wish for a way to power it off without closing that cover.
Does anybody know if there is a gesture that can power it off?
If, not, needs to be one.
Or, perhaps, a desktop "button" that can do that too. It would probably be an app.
So, there's my question, thanks for any reply anybody can make on this!

Completely power off? no. But it will automatically to go sleep after a period of time. You can set the period of time, 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes or never. in 'settings, general, autolock'
Really, you don't need to totally power it down during its normal use. Mine just goes to sleep all the time and works just fine.

Is there any way to turn an iPhone off without pushing the power button (it's broken)?

Power button on my 4s is broken. Is there any way to power the phone off besides the power button / slider shut down combination?

Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. If you touch and hold Lock Screen you will get the "slide to power off". This will turn OFF iphone. To turn iPhone ON, connect with USB cable to power, charger or USB of computer.

Is there a way to disable the power button when iPhone is lock with a pass code?

This is for security reason as you can still track ur iPhone/iPad when someone decides to steal it. My iPad 2 64gb + 3G and a MacBook Pro 17 was recently stolen and I was able to track it 10-15 mins (after the incident) until the thieve(s) decided to turn the iPad off. It would be great if someone or even Apple could add this option to the cellular versions so victims of theft could have a slight chance of retrieving stuff back (with the help of law enforcements).

You cannot at this time. Feedback to Apple goes at www.apple.com/feedback. There are other ways for a thief to disable Find my iPhone. It is not really intended to track stolen devices although it will, it is more for lost devices.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

The light cannot be turned off, but if you stop by at the office supply store and get a sheet of small 1/2" white routnd labels, you can place a few over the light to dim it significantly. Add more labels as needed to adjust for the brightness level you want to achieve.
Of course, you could use a piece of tape, but the white labels look much nicer and won't be noticeable once you get 4-5 feet away from the device.

Is there any way to change the power supply on a hp elite 8100 sff

hello . Is there any way to upgrade the power supply from the standerd 240W psu . the pc is a hp elite 8100 sff ( quad i7 2.8ghz nvidia quadro 295 nvs and 8 gb ram )

Joleney-
I do not know of any way to turn off the Sleep button. If yours does not work, there might be an internal problem like a loose connection in the iPad.
One thing you can try is to hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears. If successful, the iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.
If the Apple logo never appears, it is likely your Sleep button is bad. If the iPad is still in warranty, show it to an Apple Store Genius. You may get a replacement iPad if the Genius can not fix it.
If the iPad is out of warranty or there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you. There may be one in your city. If out of warranty, the cost of a repair would most likely be less than Apple's replacement price. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

Firefox ignores synthetic Key-clicks. Is there a way to turn this feature off

Hi,
I want to send synthetic key presses to Firefox in Xubuntu using "xdotool key "f11" or something similar. However, firefox ignores all synthetic keys when it is running. Is there a way to turn that feature off?
I have looking through About:config but did not see anything that would help.
Thank you.

Hello AshCox,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use information from the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
Specifically from the section "If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices". #2 says "Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>You Can Be Reached by iMessage At and make sure that you select each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage." This same thing works in reverse, if you are receiving iMessages on a device and you don't want to, just unselect the phone number and email address you no longer want to use.
Regards,
Jeff D.

I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

Is there an App for turning the power on and off with the Iphone 5 as my button has stopped working

Is there an App for turning the power on and off with the Iphone 5 as my button has stopped working

No. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. If you're still within the warranty period and a hardware defect is identified, the phone will be replaced without charge.

Is there a way to text someone on iMessage without using your number on an iphone

is there a way to text someone on iMessage without using your number on an iphone ? there's someone i want to text but it's long distant an ik not sure about giving my number to them just yet. so is there a way to send them a message from iMessage on my iPhone rather then using my number ? please let me know ASAP !

Sending an iMessage with your phone number does not matter whether it is long distance phone call or not. That has no bearing on how iMessage works. iMessages from the phone that is activated with the phone number will send from the phone number.

Is there any way to turn the low battery warnings off for my Mighty Mouse?

I noticed a pop-up warning on start-up when my battery life reached two bars for my new wireless Mighty Mouse. Also the battery sign kept on flashing in my menu bar.
I was wondering if there was a way of turning these warnings off, save uninstalling the Apple software, or should I just change batteries and not worry about getting as much use as I can out of my current pair.
I've also turned off "show bluetooth status in menu bar" in mouse preferences but it keeps on turning on at startup and it doesn't seem to get rid of the low battery indicator flashing on and off in the menu anyway.
(And would turning off system events as a login item disable the startup warning?).
Thanks
Paul

Hello Paul:
My own experience is that when the warning pops up (regardless of the yellow bars), you need to change the batteries. In my case I use rechargeable 2500 mAh batteries and an Energizer recharger that charges AA and AAA batteries in 15 minutes.

Is there a way to turn the camera on and off remotely?

Does anyone know of a way to turn the camera on and off remotely? I have a client that wants to mount a camera to the ceiling to photograph large rugs on the floor. We need a way to turn the camera on and off remotely and I am lookin for a solution.

I have at least one Canon remote that I've used with my 7D's. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me, because today's shoot doesn't require it. So I can't give you the model number. (Models come and go anyway.) It has a shutter button that you can press halfway to activate auto-focussing, just like the button on the camera. But you do have to make sure that the camera has an IR sensor. On a Canon DSLR, look for it where the fingers of your right hand would cover it up; I think that's intentional, so that a spurious IR beam won't fire the shutter while you're taking hand-held shots. Also, check that the camera and the remote are compatible, e.g. that they agree on the frequencies of light that are to be used.
