My phone will not turn off and the screen is frozen

???

No I mean don't use the "Slide to Power Off", just hold down the Home and Lock buttons until the screen goes black.
That does work if your device is frozen, unlike Slide to Power Off.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • My ipod touch will not turn off and the battery (charged to 100% with trickle charge) is discharging on it's own.  Any advice please?

    My Ipod touch has not turned off for some time.  I reset it.  Now, as well, the battery which is charged to 100% and finished with a trickle charge is discharging completely overnight when not in use.  Help please, I use this all the time

  • TS1702 The itouch will not shut off and the screen is blank and lit up!!  It won't respond to anything.  Help!!

    My daughter's itouch seems to be completely frozen.  All it displays is a lit up screen with nothing on it.  It won't repond to a charger or when I connect it to my Mac.  Please help!!

    PUT THE ITOUCH IN DFU MODE
    DFU INSTRUCITONS
    CONNECT THE DEVICE TO THE MAC WITH THE WHITE CABLE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
    HOLD THE HOME BUTTON(which you can find at the bottom in centre) FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN WITHOUT RELEASING IT PRESS THE ON/OFF KEY WHICH WILL BE ON THE TOP RIGHT ON THE UPPER SIDE
    THEN ITUNES WILL PROMPT YOU TO RESTORE THE DEVICE, JUST HIT ON RESTORE IN ITUNES WHICH WILL THEN TAKE SOME TIME WHILE IT DOWNLOADS THE SOFTWARE AND THAT'S IT
    FOR MORE INFO. ON DFU MODE JUST DO A SEARCH IN GOOGLE TYPING "HOW TO PUT IPOD TOUCH IN DFU MODE"

  • HT4528 The flash on my phone will not turn off. How do i manually turn it off?

    The flash on my phone will not turn off and is draining the battery. I've already tried turning the flash off in camera mode and resetting the phone to factory settings. Neither worked.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • My daughters ipod will not turn off and it is frozen on the apple icon screen. Tried to update software, didn't work. Tried to restore, didn't work. Anybody know what to do next?

    My daughters ipod touch will not turn off and is frozen on the Apple icon screen. Tried to update software, didn't work. Tried to restore, didn't work. Does anybody know what else to try?

    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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black.  I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

    Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
    Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
    The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

    I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

  • The light on the back of my phone will not turn off, even when I turn the phone off. Help?

    The light on the back of my iphone 4s will not turn off. Even when I turn the phone off the light stays on.  Can someone help? I did notice that the camera on the back has a little bit of moisture. (I have 3 small kids).

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • My 1st generation iPad will not turn off and I have performed the suggested fix. What's next?

    My iPad will not turn off. I have done the off/sleep key home button procedure.

    Just to be perfectly clear, when you reset the iPad by hod,ing down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, that is a way of resetting the system and restrating the device. If you want to shut down, you still have to hold down on the power button until the slider appears and then slide to the right to shut the iPad off.
    IS this what you are doing and if so what happens when you try to shut down? Describe what happens in detail.
