Power button sleep/wake

So I used to tap the power button and it would put my Encore mini to sleep. Lately though, whenever i hit the button I get the drop down that says SLIDE DOWN TO POWER OFF. Even going into the power options and setting the power button to do nothing still brings up the power off screen. I've power cycled the tablet but the issue remains.
I run Folding@Home as this thing really doesn't do much else but nothing has changed on the client since i installed it more than 3 months ago (no new client has been released). The only other app that gets any real use is Xbox Smartglass.

You might want to try using Windows+X to open the menu in the lower-left, selecting "Power Options," choosing "Change plan settings" next to your currently selected plan, and then resetting the plan to defaults. I don't know that that'll fix it, but it might be worth trying.
If that doesn't fix it, could you check the full part number of your Encore?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, your computer is up to date.

Top power and sleep/wake button

Hello
Is the power button slightly slanting. I mean its more pressed in towards the sim tray ?
Is this normal?
Thanks

You can visit an Apple store Genius Bar and seek maintenance on your iPhone.

Windows 7 on iMac - Power Button Sleep

My friend has Windows 7 running under Boot Camp on her iMac. She'd like it so that, when she presses the power button on the back of the iMac, Windows 7 goes to Sleep rather than Shutting Down. How can she make this happen?

Power Button Sleep Function

Hi everyone
In the last couple of days I cannot sleep the computer by pressing the power button on the back of the unit - when I do this there is no response. However it will sleep as normal using the Apple Menu.
This is on an iMac G5 20", PPC Rev B with 10.4.6.
Has anybody else experienced this and/or have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi moog5 - my iMac has an option to use power button to sleep machine, you can find it in System Preferences > Engergy Saver > Options , make sure yours is turned on / chekced. The only other thing I can think of is RESET SMU, go to this link, good info etc... Good luck, Rick

My button sleep wake is broken

my button of sleep / wake is broken what can i do

hi melissa83
I have the same problem as does my son who has the same model
It is the same problem as with the i-phone 5 seems as if spring for the
button has slipped and will no longer operate the nano. we should
have the same opportunity as the i-phone users to get it fixed at no
cost as it seems to be a fault with the manufacture and a pretty
common one at that if these forums are anything to go by............. Back to
the drawing board apple!

IPhone 5 power button /Sleep button / top right button not working

Is anybody else having problems with the iPhone 5 power button?

Power button and wake/sleep button

I recently had to download a new update. After that when I go to a application I am not able to to go to a new application. Even if i power down and restart I have to re sync my ipod but I still have the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Same thing has been happening to me. My iMac would boot up, in a very washed out state that had nothing to do with calibration or contrast in the Universal panel. However, when I put the computer to sleep and then woke it up, everything would be back to normal.
I just upgraded to OS X Maverick however, and putting the computer to sleep does not clear up the washed-out issue any more. Neither does accessing the "color" panel in the system display tab. At this point I'm stressing out because I use my computer for graphic design work, and it's clearly not useable in this state!

Help!, Ipad mini wont turn on even pressing both the home+power button

iPad wont turn on anymore even i press the home + power button (sleep/wake), nor even if i plug it with the orig. usb to the pc and to the charger! It doesnt respond to anything!. To simplify my problem, heres what i have done:
* I let it plug into the wall charger (original)OVERNIGHT, - nothing happens
* I plug it into the PC connect with iTunes (latest), - nothing happens, iTunes did not detect the iPad mini
* i press the home + power button for more than 10 minutes - nothing happens
* i have tried the dfu mode and nothing happens
Before this happened, the battery was at 43% then we tried to update it with IOS8 (so it was 2 weeks ago), since it alerted me that the battery will not suffice for the update process i cancelled the update ( the status was at "preparing update"). Then i put the iPad into the table.
The next morning this iPad is dead until now!!

Hi boks.f,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You have done great troubleshooting already for this issue where your iPad is not powering on. All that's left now is to seek service for your iPad.

IPhone 5 power button unresponsive, no longer under warranty.

My iPhone 5 started losing responsiveness in the power button (sleep/wake button) about 6 months into owning it. I put off taking it to the Apple Store, as the closest Apple Store is 4 hours away. Now, after my warranty has expired, I have an unresponsive power (sleep/wake) button, and I don't know where to go from here. Is it possible to get it replaced for free as before? Or must I pay?
Also, can I manually fix it? I have taken apart all other itterations of the iPhone, and replaced parts. If I can fix it manually, what must I replace?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

if you diy that device apple will not touch it...if the device is oow they will not replace it for free..you must pay oow which is $249. and once again if you have altered that device in ANY kind of way it is no longer apples problem

Tried to do updates, now frozen with apple symbol on screen. Can only shut off by pushing both sleep/wake button and power

We have a 32 gb iPad, slow but sure. Just tried to do restore from cloud and now it's frozen. Shut off with power button and wake/sleep only and all I get is the apple symbol when I restart it. Stuck.

If reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

How to wake my Imac from sleep with just power button?

I keep my Imac o the floor so a lot of times I'll accidentally wake it from sleep. I want to set it up so only the power button will wake it.

Not possible unless you unhook the keyboard/mouse.

"Allow power button to put the computer to sleep" setting is not available but button does it anyway

This has never happened before. Computer stayed at gray screen with no progress wheel so I held the power button to shut it down. Since startup afterwards the power button sleeps the computer. There's no "allow power button to put the computer to sleep" choice available in Energy Saver but button does it anyway. Is there a defaults command that will fix it? Something else?

I've had Mavericks for a week and a half. I don't believe yesterday could have been the first time I used the power button in an attempt to get the Restart Sleep Cancel Shut Down box, but I've been around long enough to know that memory will fool you.
Yours 'til it doesn't,
