MY IPAD WILL TURN ON BUT THE SLIDE TO UNLOCK BUTTON WILL MOVE

My ipad will power on but the slide to unlock feature is not working. I cant get into my ipad.

Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPod Touch Gen 2 turns on but the slide to unlock does not slide

Hello all,
Yesterday morning my iPod Touch was fine. Yesterday evening it would turn on, but I could not make the slide to unlock bar slide over. There is a specific point where it looks like it will go, but it stops and slides back to the far left. I have tried restoring it, but it still won't slide. It is updated to the new OS and has been working for several weeks before this happened. It still connects to iTunes and it charges just fine. I do have the 'grey app icons' issue, but after reading several posts, it doesn't seem related. It was extremely cold yesterday. Could I have inadvertently broke something? There are no cracks or obvious differences other than I can't make the bar slide over.
Thanks for looking this over.

I did all that you have listed here and I still cannot make the slide to unlock bar move. And when I press and hold the on/off sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time I get another slide bar at the top that I cannot move and a cancel button at the bottom that works at only one spot on the button. It is as if the screen is registering my touch at one vertical line on the whole screen.

When I turn on my iPad2, I can see the 'slide to unlock' button and my saved screen. However, on top is the "Not Enough Storage" information. It usually allows me to either hit "close" or "setting". However, it is totally locked.

I plugged my iPad into my computer to take off a lot of apps. Nothing changed. I am totally lost as to what to do...

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly the "slide to unlock" button will not work. I can not use the phone, answer calls or anything at all. Ideas?

I have an iPhone 4s. All of a sudden the slide to unlock button does not work. I cannot access the phone, answer phone calls, or do anything with the phone. Anyone have any ideas?

I was having a similar problem but only when answering calls. A reset seems to have fixed it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that doesn't do it you may need to contact Apple Care or take it in for repair.

I have just updated my iPhone to version 5.1, and the camera button next to the "slide to unlock" button does not work at all. It used to function well before the update. Can someone help??

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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

Sign in to itunes store will not disappear and the whole IPad will not let me go into other screens till this pop up goes away. I have entered the password several times and still will not disappear. Turned the IPad on and off but the pop up remain

FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
Try resetting Network Settings
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Ipad will not turn on when you slide to unlock

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

I never set a passcode for my iPad but it is locked and I can't get it unlocked. The "slide to unlock" does not work. How do I get it unlocked?

I never set up a passcode for my iPad 2 but it is locked and I can't unlock it. The "slide to unlock" does not work. Any suggestions on how to unlock it?

You have to slide to unlock to bring up the keyboard if a passcode is set. If you can't slide then try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

I'm trying to use the slide to unlock bar but the iPad 3 touch screen is non responsive.

iPad 3 touch screen non responsive. How can I fix this?
I'm trying to use the slide to unlock bar but the iPad 3 touch screen is non responsive. How can I fix this!

I tried that step but it would not work. I think I may have changed a setting.
I was able to highlight a function but had to tap 3 times to get it to respond
to the command. I think it's some type of Restriction or Accessibility settings.
Any suggestions?

Apple won't replace an iPhone under warranty if the iPhone has been opened/tinkered with by you or by a 3rd party, but they may under Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price.
There is only one way to find out for certain.

Leave it alone for an hour and try the reset procedure again. Make sure you're using a genuine Apple charger & cable in a known good wall outlet. You can also try another cable if necessary, and make sure the charging area is clean and free of fluff & debris.
