    It sounds like your phone is broken.

  • 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

  • IPhone 4 slide to unlock is not working?

    Iphone 4 slide to unlock is not working

    Hey tamara70,
    I found the following recommended steps for when you're unable to Slide to Unlock:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Slide to unlock does not slide (repeat)

    Hi, everyone.  I actually raised this question a few nights ago, but then two respondents had some odd fight on the disussion board (about what I have no idea), and I never got a resolution. 
    Anyway, my slide to unlock does not slide.  I have connected my Ipad to Itunes, and restored the factory settings an rebooted a few times.  No luck.  For what it is worth, the "slide to power off" does work. 
    Any theories on what I should do next?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    I was one of the respondents and what I/we said is not totally uncommon on this site - I realize that our dialog was of no help to you and I apologize for that as well.
    And I agree with the gentleman from Tampa. I don't think that there is anything more that you can do if you have restored the device to factory settings.
    The only thing that I would add is that when you restored to factory settings - did you restore to a backup as well? If you did, then the backup may be corrupt and the problem could be in your backup. If you restored to factory settings and then tried the iPad - without adding any content at all - you should make an appointment with an Apple Genius and let them have a look.

  • Slide to Unlock Does not respond.

    I have the new iPad.  When I turn it off and then back on, the slide to unlock does not respond.  However, when I do slide it and wait a little bit, it does unlock.  Is there anything I can do to get the slide to unlock to respond?

    I have the same problem as dberkovich and I too did resets, restores, reboot, etc.  Still acts the same. 
    Power up iPad (3-new)
    slide to unlock is frozen, lights do not move in the background,
    wait 10-15 seconds, screen goes black
    push home button and slide to unlock is working perfectly.
    This occurs everytime after complete power off and then back on.
    Took it to a Mac Store,(not Apple store) and representative said "We've never heard of this and it may be software and you should take it to an Apple store."
    Fact:  My nearest Apple store is about a 3 hour drive each way with even no traffic.
    This problem occured when my software was updated with IOS6.

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • HT1430 How can you restart your iphone if your lock button does not work?

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

    Yes it does, although I wa a minute faster than you. To see if someone is parroting you, or that they just posted at the same time, look at the head of the post and it will show you the data and time of the post and who they were responding to. Looking at that first saves some misinformation in future posting.
    You'll see some posts where there will be 5 posts all in the same minute sometimes. Answer posts late at night and you won't see as many.
    BTW, I clicked the Like button on your post where you gave the link for the users manual.

  • Can i get a new iphone as my current one does not work

    i have an iphone 4s and my volume does not work. in addition to this my round button does not work either. the power button is broken too. as i am on contract would i have to pay for another iphone?

    Dear,
    You can use the option Assistive Touch (Settings > General > Accessibility >AssistiveTouch On) for use the buttons that be broke. You can turn up and down the volume and use the Power off button.
    If it doesn't work, I would go to carrier shop and if they can't fix it, Surely I'd buy one.

  • Iphone 5 slide to unlock is not getting swiped & its Wake/Sleep button not working

    Iphone 5 Wake/Sleep button is not working and the phone 5 is not getting unlock (the slide to unlock is not getting swiped).
    The phone is in warranty and was purchased from US. Apple is denying to provide any kind of support as they say that the Iphone has opened eventhough it has not been opened.
    I must say that the quality of apple has been going down & down after Steve Jobs demise.

    So what would you like us USERS here to do for you?
