My iPad froze up. I can't shut it off to reset

The screen flashed a couple times and then just froze. I can't shut it off either.
Anyone have any idea how to shut it off?

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPad froze and it can't turn on. I've watched some youtube videos on how to restore my iPad. Occasionally, it worked on my friend's iPad, but not in mine. It can't restore because some sort of codes appear after I try to restore it. Help pls thank you

  • My iPhone 5c froze while I updated. And now I can not shut it off. No buttons respond.

    It has been frozen for two hours. Can not shut it off, or something else.

    Reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, connect in recovery mode to your computer, explained in this article:

    Hold down on it until it starts to wiggle.
    Click the red minus sign.
    Press the home button.

  • Voice over always on - How can I shut if off?

    somehow, voiceover has decided to turn itself, and I can't shut it off....
    Disabling voice over in the universal access system preference does not shut it off.
    Deleting the user's universal access preference plist as well as voice over's preference plist does not shut it off
    Rebooting does not shut it off.
    Zapping the PRAM does not shut it off.
    How do I stop voiceover from activating itself? It's driving me nuts!
    Thanks in advance

    command f5 only works until I log in/out or reboot...
    When the computer boots up, it does not automatically log in. So, at the the login window on a fresh reboot, voice over has activated itself. Command f5 will shut it off, and when I log into either user account (there are 2 accounts on the machine) voice over is not active. However, as soon as I log out and return to the log in screen, voice over has re-activated itself.
    If I reboot from an account (when voice over is not active), then it will be active after the computer boots and while it waits at the login screen...
    Thanks!

  • Can Verizon shut me off for switching carriers?

    Ok so I recently went through a really bad breakup. The Verizon bill is in my name and on it is an iPhone 5 (my phone) and a Nokia Lumia (ex's phone). I called tmobile today and they're sending me a SIM card overnight to put in my iPhone then I can get their service for $60/mo. My iPhone is due for an upgrade and had been for a while but I've been saving it for the 6. The Nokia however is fairly new and I don't have money right now to shell out for the phone bill and the early term fees. I intend to pay verizon about $100/mo until my bill is paid in full. My question is if I can't start paying them right away, can verizon shut me off even though I will have a tmobile SIM card in and running off their network? I have good credit but the Verizon bill takes a back seat for a few months while I get things in order. Thank you!

    Here is what I keep finding
    Identify hybrid CDMA/GSM Phones.  If the phone is unable to activate on a CDMA carrier such as Sprint or Verizon the blacklisted IMEI could still have the ability to be used on a GSM network. Many of the phones manufactured lately come with a GSM standard, micro or nano sim card slot and have GSM radios allowing for use on a GSM network. Likewise, many of them come factory unlocked even if one of the major providers sold the phone. Such an example is the iPhone 5 from Verizon. If you happened to have a bad ESN iPhone 5 you really don’t have a problem, it comes factory unlocked! You won’t be able to use it on Verizon again, but you should have no trouble using it on another GSM pre-paid carrier in the USA or Internationally. In fact, the phone sold as unlocked has a 15-20% better value than if you sold it on Verizon. One of the first models of this type was the Blackberry Storm several years ago. I remember customers wanting cash would offer extremely low price knowing it had a blocked ESN number with Verizon not knowing that the phone came factory unlocked and was good for AT&T or T-Mobile. All that was needed was a setting change to deactivate the CDMA radio and activate the GSM one.  Lastly, make sure that the bad IMEI phone that has a GSM sim card slot actually has a radio and the correct cellular bands to allow service. Some phones such as the original Nexus had a micro sim card slot, but the radio connected to it was only connected to the 4G network not GSM quad band network.
    Wow, you really don't get it.  The USA universal blacklist (which is also shared with some carriers now in Canada and Mexico) is a universal database of blocked hardware IDs.  Any device in the list is blocked by ALL carriers from connecting to their networks.  No device on any network anywhere on the planet can connect to a carrier's network if that carrier blocks the device's hardware ID from connecting.
    Believe what you will, but universal blacklisting really does render the device useless on ALL networks sharing the blacklist.
    And yes, Verizon has already reportedly been adding devices to the Blacklist for breach of contract, failure to pay and so forth - just look in Verizon's own user forums for the tales from those who got stung buying a Verizon phone only to find out the seller had skipped out on their contract, and their nice new phone is basically useless pretty much anywhere in North America since Verizon added it to the blacklist database.

  • I use Firefox to access the internet-but when I go off the internet but don't shut down, then go back on Firefox it won't open because "it is already running". Task Manager doesn't show that it is operating so I can't shut it off. What to do?

    It is in the question but to repeat.
    1. When I go online I use Mozilla Firefox
    2. While I am doing other work, I usually close the internet.
    3. If I go back on the internet and click on Mozilla it won't come up, stating that "it is already running".
    4. Despite that, when I open Task Manager, it doesn't show that it is running so I can't shut it down or open it.
    5. If I log off or shut off the computer, then after I log in or reboot the computer, I can open Mozilla.
    Thanks from a Mozilla fan.

  • HT201412 iPad jumps from the start screen to the white apple screen every 2 to 3 seconds and will not stop. Shutting it off and resetting has no affect.

    My iPad jumps from the start screen to the white apple screen every 2 to 3 seconds. Turning it off or resetting it does not work. The restore from iTunes will not work due to the fact that I need to click off Find My Devise before I can restore...I can't get in to click that off.
    Any ideas?

    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

  • My ipod got wet and I can't shut it off

    I'm drying out my iPod, which got exposed to water (not completely submerged) about 3 hours ago. Don't even ask—it's a long stupid story involving an impossible line at the DMV in midtown NYC and a water bottle that wasn't as secure as it should have been.
    The problem is, I can't shut the device off at this point... and everything I've read online suggests that it should be shut off prior to the drying out process to avoid permanent damage. I've already seen a big red X with a "contact support" alert come up on the screen. Is there anything else I can do or simply wait for it to dry enough to power it down?
    Thanks.

    Since you can't switch it off.
    Put it in a dry place for a week (a rice box is a good idea) and try to use a hair air-blower (warm but not hot) to dry it.

  • No keys work and can't shut computer off

    My computer just quit functioning properly tonight. The battery is charged, the screen lights up appropriately, and the mouse moves (but when I click, nothing happens It is stuck on "Mail" at the top of the screen but I can't quit by any of the usual ways. I can't even turn off the computer with the power button or by any other way. I inserted the Install Disk that came with the computer, hoping I could restart with. However, I hear it spinning but the icon doesn't show on the screen. (Computer is about 6 months old.)

    Press and hold the power button for about 5-7 seconds, this should turn the machine off, if not remove the power lead and battery to power it down.
    Re-insert the battery and power lead then perform a Parameter RAM reset on the restart i.e. press the Power button then immediately hold down the apple/option/p/r keys and wait for three chimes before releasing them.

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.
