My power button is not working on my AIR - how can I shut down and restart the computer

My power button on my AIR has decided to quit working - so how do I restart the computer?

Your Mac should be turned off / restarted using the command in the Apple Menu. Use the power button only for emergency shut down

    Sounds like a major hardware problem.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

  • My iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be woken up; it needs to be shut down and restarted.

    My Intel iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be awakened; I need to hold the start button in to force it to shut down and then restart it.
    What might be wrong?

    Try a very quick momentary press of the power button.

  • I can not open iPhoto. this is the messageShut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command ki get.

    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Froze on black screen and power button does not work

    my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
    any suggestions would be appreciated

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - 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 ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

    My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
    Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

    That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
    Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

  • My iphone power button is not working. What can I do?

    Hello, I bought an iphone 5 last year and it still in warranty . It has some regular scratches for the use but it never felt down.
    The power button is not working now and I sent to an apple retailer here in Brazil (SOMA - Revenda APPLE Solution Expert e Assis. Tecnica Autorizada) to fix it. They refuse to do it saying that the button is not working because of  the scratches what I believe is not true. And the retailler suggest to me to buy a new one.
    And more, I receive the iphone with the factory configuration and I don’t know why.
    I would know what can I do to fix the iphone. And How can I use the warranty here in Brazil.
    I couldn't find an e-mail from apple.com support to report this.
    I will stay in US next december. I can fix my phone in an Apple Store?
    I'm very dissapointed with the technical assistance here in Brazil.
    Thank You

    Meaning that you cannot restart or reset the phone?  If you haven't tried already, try both options.
    Otherwise, you can do a backup & restore, or even a restore as new (only after a successful backup).
    If the issue persists, then look at a replacement. Either it will be a hardware defect (free if within warranty), or physical damage ($49 with AppleCare Plus, $149 without it.)

    Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
    1. SMC reset
    >>Instructions to reset SMC
    Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
    Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc.  If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
    Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
    Other related hardware problems (optional):
    Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
    Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.

    Jailbreaking your iPhone forfeits your ability to receive any support on that phone, including from this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere for answers to your issue.

  • My power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like it usually does but it's not turning on

    my power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like i usually does but it's not turning on

    Hold down on the home button simultaenously holding on the sleep wake button (power button) hold it for more than 15 seconds this will then shut down the device.
    If the device is already shut off do this same sequence to see if you get an apple logo. If you get the logo allow the device to login. Write back if this does not resolve your issue.
    Good luck Friend.
