Personal Hot Spot Won't Turn Off

I was using my phone as a personal hot spot and all worked great. Until I wanted to turn the hot spot off. The slider wouldn't move. I had to do a reset to get it to turn off. Anyone else had this issue and if so, how did you rsolve it? I'm on a new iPhone5 with the latest OS. (upgraded the phone last week from a 4 to the 5)
Thanks Sue

Hey dudes,
Thanks for both your responses, it always amazes me how fast and reliable this forum is. It's such a saviour, because to be quite honest, and I bet most people on here would agree, that nothing is more distressing then a non-functional mac ... it's just so, what's the word uncharacteristic.
To answer your questions, I have run software update, got all the updates, including firmware ... but they seemed to do nothing. Oddly enough, when I booted my computer today, to view these posts, the fan hasn't come on yet. Sadly enough the only thing I did was uninstall a 3d-surround plugin-program for itunes. Whether it was actually this causing the problem, or whether it took a couple of boots for the firmware updates to fix the issue, I don't know but my macbook is running cool again, with no fans ... w00t! So to be honest I'm not quite sure what fixed it, but I'll tell you one thing, no more bizarre 3rd party apps for me. If the problem comes back I'll post it on here. Thanks again guys for all your support.

Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4 I do not have the ability to connect to wifi. I can't even move the on/off button at all. Also, the "personal hot spot"

Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4, I cannot connect to wifi. The button is greyed out, so I can't even turn it on. I can't download the upgraded version that fixes some of the bugs because you have to be able to connect to the internet to download it. I also noticed that under "Settings", my Bluetooth and Personal Hot Spot settings are constantly roaming with the circle that just keeps going around and around. I've tried everthing (I think). It was directly related to the 7.0 download because it happened right away. Any ideas? I listen to a lot of eBooks when I commute each day and I need to connect to the internet to download the full versions. I miss my books!!

See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

The LED flash on my 4s won't turn off. Eat's up the battery and gets hot. Is there a way to turn it off? I don't have a flashlight app installed either.

Which iOS version are you using?
Settings > General > About?
FYI: You should update your signature from PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

Hello arcalan.munir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are no longer seeing the option for Personal Hotspot on your iPhone. In this situation, Personal Hotspot may not be configured with your carrier. Please use the information in the attached article as a resource.
iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot - Apple Support
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts. Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
Now what?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Please help me..

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?). I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something).
It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to. (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath. When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen. So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
I have tried to turn it off, with no luck. I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

My ipod touch is disabled and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize the device and i can't see the serial number on the back

My NOSY (now ex) husband did something to my ipod touch and it is now disabled. It was dead and I charged it and NOW the sucker won't turn off. When I connect to itunes i see a message that says i have to UNLOCK it with a passcode. I tried to get apple support but they want my serial number. Well...the ipod wont turn on!!! I've had it at least 6 years and have moved and I can't find my paperwork and WHO can read that serial number on the back? I know its kind of outdated (third generation, I believe)but its mine, I love it and it has ALL my music on it.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 - the "attention" light won't turn off

I've tried everything I can think of for weeks but I can't get the "attention" light on my HP Color Laserjet 3550 to turn off. It originally came on when a page on from the manual input tray got stuck maybe 20% of the way in. It was a real easy fix, I pulled the page out and now the "attention" light won't turn off. So I can use the printer at all. I've had this printer about a year. I purchased it used. I've always had the manual feed tray as the default because I use this printer mostly for envelopes and less than 81/2 x11 printing as I have an old workhorse HP 4+ for all my straight 81/2 x 11 printing. I've rebooted. I've unhooked cables and the router. I've opened up the printer and removed the casing (the plastic apparatus on the door) and replaced it. The router is a 2Wire HomePortal 1800HG. I'm just baffled here I've printed so much with the manual feed tray and I've had allot worse things happen that I've had to fix. Now a simple stick like this and the light just wont' go off.

HI Vern,
Where did you bought the printer? may you bought it from a different region than your current one?
What is the exact cartridge number of both the black and the tri-color ink cartridge, as well as their product number?
I bought the printyer in the US and the cartridges also came from the US, probably no the same state. Cartdridge # 97, black # 96. I don't see a product number. This is the same # that was in the printer before and the same one I always used. As soon as I pull it out the light goes out, and on again as soon as I install it. This is before the printer even cycles through it's "new cartdridge" routine, if you know what I mean.
thanks for the reply

My Screen Saver won't turn off on my I-Mac. Is there a way to fix this?

I have an I-Mac that every once in a while won't turn off it's screen saver when I move the mouse. I can see the mouse move and switch to the screen with the caculator, but I am unable to get the screen saver to stop and view the screen proper.
It has been updated with mavericks, but was doing this before the update. It's set to update on a weekly basis, so It should be good in that department.
so far, any suggestiosn I have been able to find haven't stopped this from happening. i'm looking for a way to exit out of the screen saver.

Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.
