My iPhone apps keep crashing and my sleep button no longer works

So my apps keep crashing when I try to open them; everything from games to my email. My sleep/power button no longer works so I can't even shut it down to restart it. I don't know if I should just let the battery die and hope that by rebooting it will work again? Doesn't really make sense why they won't open anymore.

My iPhone won't charge and the sleep button does not work, Please Help!

I woke up this morning and my iphone was dead. I have been using the assisted touch setting because one day for no particular reason my sleep button stopped working, so I can't even try a hard reset now. The phone never had a bad drop and the only way it could be water damaged is from being in a steamy bathroom. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get my phone to work again, Please leave a suggestion!!
Thank you

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

My iPhone apps keep crashing a lot please help

Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

Iphone 4 Keeps crashing and restarting, No help from Applecare

My iPhone 4 keeps crashing and restarting and AppleCare is unable to duplicate the issue or resolved the issue.
Recently my iphone randomly started crashing or it would freeze then i have to restart using power and home button, These are few things that I have already tried to resolve the issue:
1: Restore to factory settings and start over from scratch.
2. Deleted recently updated apps to see which one could be causing the issue, but the issue is still there.
3. Re-downloaded ios 5.1 and did a fresh restore.
After doing all this I called Applecare and they suggested to send in my phone and they will replace it and send me a new one since Im still having the issue after doing all of the above. Today I recieved my phone back from Applecare stating that the issue was resolved or not duplicated. So I did a restore once again and from one of the saved files that I had setup as a new phone. In the last 6 hours my phone has froze once, and crashed twice. I called Applecare again and he suggested to send the iphone in again and he will put in the notes to give it max time to detect the issue.
Are there any other alternatives? The closest Apple store is 140 miles from my house and Im fedup with sending in the phone and getting it back w/o the issue being solved. Thanks for the help in advance.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, resest, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you still have problems after going through ALL the recommended troubleshooting steps, then you likely have a hardware issue. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

Sleep button no longer works

Sleep button no longer works, how do I get it fixed and how much will it cost. It is a repalcement from Sprint insurance and only hac it about 5 months.

The warranty will cover that is the device is only three months old and if the defect was not caused by accidental damage - like you droppoing it. I'm not accussing you of anything, I am just explaining how the warranty works.
I would try resetting the device - even though you need the sleep button to perform the reset. See if that works and then see if it helps at all.
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.
I would also try the iPad without the cover for a while to see if the cover is playing games with the lock feature.

I have an iPhone 4s running latest software. The last three days, the mail app keeps crashing and now other apps are crashing too. Anyone having similar issues?

iPhone 4s keeps crashing with the native Apple mail app. Other apps are shutting down in mid service too. Anyone else having these buggy issues?

Restored my phone works fine now

My iphone 4 keeps crashing and restarting.

I just bought my iphone today and it having the same problem. It keeps crashing and going to black then restarting. With either a red or yellow color that is coming up over the screen. What's going on and how can I get this phone to work?

Follow the steps below to put the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the software:
1. Unplug the iPhone from the computer and make sure its turned off.
2. Hold down the home button and plug the iPhone into the computer
3. Keep holding down the home button until the connect to iTunes screen appears on the phone
4. Click "Restore" in iTunes
5. When the iPhone is finished restoring, make sure you set it up as a new iPhone and do not restore from a backup.
If the problem still happens after following the steps above and restoring the software, take it back to where you bought it and get a replacement because it is most likely faulty hardware.

Having trouble syncing with my new iPhone cable, keeps crashing and saying that the device cannot be found

The iTunes sync keeps crashing and saying that the device cannot be found. I have bought a new cable recently off eBay and it manages to charge my iPhone when I plug it into my macbook but its not allowing me to sync or import pictures.

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

my ipod touch will not stop crashing, its pretty much un usable now, is it worth resetting to default settings and clearing everything. Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You can't do it
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My keyboard and my external buttons no longer work.

I guess it's probably a hardware problem and I'll have them repaired, but I am informed anyway.
Last night, suddenly my keyboard, trackpad and all my external buttons no longer work. Only my touch screen works, but no back button, a BlackBerry is not very useful.
It may be software, but I updated yesterday the operating system. But I find it strange that all the external buttons do not work together.
What could be the problem. If I have to go to the workshop, I want to know as much as possible.
Thanks !
BlackBerry 9800

Evolution, keyboard work again, but screen close often (lock button), probably humidity

Mail app keeps crashing (and other related problems)

A few days ago, my Mail app began crashing on seemingly unrelated events, so I assume my data got corrupted. I won't explain all the scenarios because it's a complete mess. To keep it simple, I have only 2 accounts and they are both on Gmail, so no backups are needed. I'd like to try doing a complete wipe of all data that the Mail app uses and that should fix it.
What files/folders does Mail use? So far, I've found:
~/Library/Mail
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
I've also seen someone mention ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, but I don't have this file.
After deleting the above and creating my mail accounts, the crashes are back. The only possibilities I can think of are:
1. I haven't deleted EVERYTHING owned by Mail yet. <-- What other files/folders belong to the Mail app?
2. Mail is depending on something else on my system that is broken.
3. Mail app itself somehow became corrupted.
4. Something being synced from my Gmail is not properly being handled, resulting in a crash.
When this started happening (if it helps):
1 day after installing the OS X update 10.8.3 as well as MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.1, my MBP froze as soon as I loaded League of Legends. This was followed by a reboot as I couldn't Cmd+Tab out of the game. I wasn't aware of the Force Close App shortcut at the time, so I used the power button. That was the only time this happened, and it has worked fine a few times after the updates were applied and also worked after the reboot following the freeze. Since that time, I have encountered another issue where just about all of my apps crashed simultaneously -- no 3D-accelerated apps were even running this time.
Since then, I've updated VirtualBox from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 (seemed like something that could cause this weirdness as I always have a VM running) and have not had any problems except Mail crashing all the time.
This question is primarily about fully resetting the Mail app to clean settings/data, but any thoughts on what may have happened are also welcome

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

My iphone 4S keeps crashing and restarting..hellllppppp?

I have a iPhone 4S and its been happening for about a week now. It decides to freeze, then the screen goes dark with little lines, then restarts with the apple logo. It usually does when I open camera based apps like snapchat and instagram..it does it on my camera too. But it also does it randomly like if I'm going to open a text from the lock screen, about to answer a phonecall...or just simply decides to do it when I'm not even using it! It's really getting annoying and I really can't afford for my phone to die. I really dont know whats up with it..

Hello Tyeman,
I know crashing app can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps:
