  • Power / sleep button won't work

    Using an iPad 2, the power / sleep button stopped working.  Pressing the button won't make it sleep.  Holding the button won't shut it down.  I tried a hard restart (pressing the power and home buttons at the same time) for 10 seconds then one minute, and nothing happend.  So I decided to restore the ipad and backed it up to my MBP in iTunes.  When I clicked the button to Restore a message said some apps weren't transferred, but I don't know how to transfer apps and figured that's what a back up is.  I tried drag/drop of apps but that didn't work.  I looked around for instructions how to transfer the apps but there was nothing but Back Up, so I clicked Restore.
    The iPad was Restored, but all the apps were deleted and the power / sleep button still doesn't work, so it won't shut off or sleep.
    Any ideas?

    More than likely, you have a hardware problem with the iPad sleep button and there is nothing that you can do about it other than to have the device replaced. That will be covered under the warranty, if the device is under one year old and if the damage was not caused by user abuse. You should probably contact Apple or take the iPad to an Apple store for evaluation.
    When the iPad Ian connected to iTunes on the Mac - if you click on the iPad name under the devices heading - and then click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right - do you see your apps in iTunes? If you see them in the list, sync them back to the iPad.
    If you don't see them, if they are gone .... You can download most of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Read more about it here.

  • HT201412 sleep button does not work and iphone 4 is frozen and won't turn on

    sleep button broke a while ago and now my iphone 4 is frozen and i can't get it to reset also it doesn't sink up with the computer
    please help i miss my phone

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Either replace your phone...Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, cost is US $149 for an iPhone 4...or go to a third-party repair shop & get your phone fixed.

  • Power/sleep button broken i need to get it into DFU mode.

    Yes i had the phone for 1 and a half years now. and no the sim thing is when i updated to IOS5.0.1 i have read about it and it has happend to quite a few people when there updated to the IOS5 or 5.0.1, 5.1 is meant to fix this issue so i heard.
    I tried the sim in a friends phone Iphone 3G, activates fine, I been down to my local orange shop there said there seen a few problems like this and it is due to the IOS5 or 5.0.1 there tried over 20 sims and managed to get one to work i think it is because of the basebind update, but anyway i have took my phone into a local repair shop and there are repairing it for me and wow there have good prices there can repair it for £30 and it be ready first thing in the morning, apple said there can repair it for £80 and it could take upto 3 weeks so i need my phone for tommorow so i took it into the repair shop and it is alot cheaper.
    And @stevejobsfan0123 I just looked at your products and i must say wow i did not know one person could own so many apple products .

  • My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

    My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Otherwise I think you are out of luck.

  • Sleep button dose not work

    Sleep button dose not work properly ,
    I have to press it for several time
    What can I do?

    Have you tried a soft reset?   Hold down the Home button and the Power button on the phone until you see the Apple logo appear, then carefully release the buttons allowing the phone to boot back up.

  • Broken power/sleep button

    I have had my iphone 4 since Oct 2010 and it is still in great condition.  But, within minutes, my power/sleep button stoped working.  It isn't stuck, but is not functioning in any way.  Is there a solution I can tackle by myself or am I out of luck?  Also, I didn't buy it directly from the apple store, I bought it from ATT. (Oct 2010ish?) Is this a fix that needs "major" or "minor" surgery?
    THANK YOU!

    You can bring it to a 3rd party repair shop if you wish, but out of warranty exchange via Apple is $149.00.  AT&T does not handle repairs; don't even bother bringing it there.

  • 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.

    Make a Genius Bar reservation for your nearest Apple store to have the Tech person create a repair order for you.  Be sure your phone is backed up to iCloud or iTunes prior to going in.

  • Power/Sleep Button "Lags"

    Recently I've been having problems with my Power/Sleep button. Sometimes, the button fails to respond and the only way to fix it so far is to connect it to iTunes and disconnect it.
    Now at first I thought it was a software error, so I updated but still the same problem. I also restored numerous times, but no avail.
    This is recently happening quite often and very annoying.
    What should I do?

    If this is still happening after restoring as "new iPhone" in iTunes, there may be a hardware problem. Your only option is to make an appointment with an Apple store Genius Bar to get it checked out.

  • Power/Sleep button broke

    Power/Sleep button broke, is there any way this can be fixed at home? I bought the phone 2nd hand and it still had warranty when I sent it back because of a dead pixel and a wobbly home button they said the warranty had been voided? Which confused me so I can't send it back to Apple, any help would be nice. I have ready through old dicussions but didn't seem to find much help

    Apple doesn't fix stuff like this, they replace the phone. Cost for an iPhone 4S is US $199. You can try a third-party repair shop in your area, Google such...should be around US $50 or so.
