My Iphone 4 will not switch off silent .... Please help.

I Updated My IPhone 4 on the 2nd of Jan 2013 and since then it will not switch off silent mode with the switch on the side of the phone , does any one know what i can do or if there is any other way to switch it off silent ?

First, try to 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, but it can clear some glitches.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, shown here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If still not luck, you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced:

Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

Do a reset. You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not help resore from a backup. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store. You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

My iPhone 4 will not let me play my music I bought on iTunes or pandora or YouTube with out my headphones or speakers plugged in. I can play my ringtone without them plugged in but that's all. Also my iPhone will not turn off. Please help

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Iphone 4 will not connect to PC Please Help!

My wifes Iphone 4 is not detected by my pc.
I have tried with USB cable and Firewire cable from my old ipod. My old ipod connects and syncs fine with both cables.
The iphone will connect to my old laptop (xp) via USB, so the problems appeares to be my PC.
I have tried windows Vista. and recently updated to Windows 7, clean install and still the iphone will not connect. I also had the very same problem with and Ipod touch, which i returned as faulty :\.
When i plug the iphone in I get nothing on the phone and nothing on the pc. I have already tried reseting/restoring the iphone. rebooting pc. fiddling with the apple mobile device service etc but no joy. Itunes is obviosly installed and uptodate. have also tried removing all other usb devices.
So its my PC but why? when everything else USB works without fail Why wont this piece of crap connect?
My pc is running Windows 7 64bit 4GB on a Quad core processor. Not brand new but not some ancient piece of scrap either.
Please help!

I upgraded over the air with no problems at first. It does seem to fix my fast battery drain (iphone 4, not 4s) problem that I was having. However, now my mobile internet is EXTREMELY SLOW... even wifi seems to drag. Anyone got a fix?

Are you pushing the power button on the case or shutting down via Windows? It may be going into S1 standby.

Well I get the same Result weather I push the power button or shut down in Vista it turns the screen and keyboard off ( i have g15 keyboard with lcd display) and the case fans still run.
The question is, what your case power-button and the Vista Shutdown function are configured to do.
Make sure the Vista-shutdown-function is really configured to shut down/turn off your computer and not just to suspend it to S1 standby state.
Also, enter BIOS Setup and check that the option "Power Button Function" is really set to "On/Off" and not to "Suspend".
If both settings are configured correctly already, try to set ACPI Standby State to S3 in BIOS and see if the FANs keep running, when you try to turn off your system.
Post your results here.
Also, What BIOS Version are you using?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone 4 will not switch on.

My iphone 4 will not switch on. Its only 3 months old and was working this morning. Now all of a sudden its not switching on. I have charged the phone and no battery icon is coming on. What should I do?

If it isn't responding to any of those steps it might prove difficult to extract data from the phone.
So again your best bet may be the Apple Store, they would be able to help retrieve it I expect.

HT1430 my iphone 4s will not shut off. I've tried everyone suggestions but when it looks like it shuts off in a few seconds it comes back on. I've tried every combination of the sleep/wake button and the home button. Nothing works.

My iphone 4s will not shut off. I have tried every combination of sleep/wake and home (round) buttons with no success. Don't know what else to try. (Try telling that to the airline stuardess).

Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.

HT1476 My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

Have you tried charging it from another computer or another wall charger?
Have you tried another cable?
This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
