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.

Try doing a forced/hard reset - hold the home button and power button till the deivce shows an apple logo.

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

My ipad will not swith on. It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens. I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy. What options do I have?

My ipad will not swith on. It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens. I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy. This is a basic first version ipad. What options do I have?

Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

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.

My 1st generation iPad will not turn off and I have performed the suggested fix. What's next?

My iPad will not turn off. I have done the off/sleep key home button procedure.

Just to be perfectly clear, when you reset the iPad by hod,ing down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, that is a way of resetting the system and restrating the device. If you want to shut down, you still have to hold down on the power button until the slider appears and then slide to the right to shut the iPad off.
IS this what you are doing and if so what happens when you try to shut down? Describe what happens in detail.

Mail touch screen not responding, on off button won't work

My iPhone 4 on/ off button won't work so I can't re-set my phone. Been told i need new one but trying to hold out for new iphobe!
Now the touchscreen won't work only in mail, and the screen is darker in mail than everythinguch else. Can anyone help?

My touch screen stopped working and could not power off. Plugged it in to recharge and then it was okay. Very weird. The suggestion to restore from Itunes was very good and probably a basic apple practice. I was ready to get a new phone and not an apple. I will see how the iphone works the next few days.

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 turn off

My iPad will not turn off. The power button no longer seems to do anything. Any ideas.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Original iPad will not shut off

Ipad will not shut off. The little wheel icon keeps coming on. The start screen blinks on & then off, repeating with the little wheel popping up.

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.

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. 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.
