  • IpodT auto redirects to the power off (slide) option while in use. Then while not using it, it will not power off to conserve the battery. I have to enable the assistive touch to save battery life. Software is up to date with 6.1.6.  PLEASE  HELP!

    Try:
    - 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.
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • My buddy tried to help me install windows 8 on my new mac book and all he did was put the disc in and now it will not come out and my mac book will not turn off

    I cannot get the windows 8 disc out of my mac book pro

    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore.  If there another way for me to do this?

    I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore.  If there another way for me to do this?  I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.

    Hello Lara,
    have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
    Best regards.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
