Power off button not responding

Power off switch not responding... Help!

Try to reset the device (try it even though as you said the power button (or sleep/wake switch) is not functioning)
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
If the switch is indeed physically bad, you can get by in the meantime (or until you can get it evaluated/fixed) by using the the AssistiveTouch panel (this floats a virtual button on the screen that you can use to access various funtions of the iPad, one of them being the sleep/wake switch). I use this all the time, even though my buttons are just fine (cuts down on wear/tear on the physical buttons).
AssitiveTouch: Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch (set to ON)

    My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

    Try (as best you can):
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but I can't access the slide to power off button either.  Any thoughts???

    Hey there Apple Users
    I would like some assistance with my iPad please
    My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but it won't let me access the slide to power off button either.  Any thoughts???

    Try this.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Our Mini IPad shows a window box that states we have not backed up our I cloud in 9 weeks. Plug in with internet service.  That screen is froze. When you hit connect it does nothing. I tired to shut down, but power off button is greyed out so not an optio

    Our I-Pad has never connected with our wireless internet from since we got it. Our laptop connects just fine and we have a strong signal.  We now have a locked screen stated that I-cloud has not been backed up in 9 weeks. Plug into internet?  However when you click the button to try to get to the internet it does nothing. The power off button is greyed out so not an option to shut down. Just froze on that screen?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
    Thank you in advance.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

    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.
    - 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.

  • Buttons not responding correctly

    Help
    I am trying to get a simulation to work but I have problems
    with buttons not responding to actionscript properly.
    Here is how I have it layed out:
    I have a labels layer with 12 keyframes labeled scn2A,
    scn2B...scn2L
    I have a buttons layer with all of the buttons on it.
    The buttons layer has 12 keyframes.
    One button advance to the next frame, the other advances to
    the next scene.
    Each keyframe has the same buttons but different instance
    names. scn2DwnA_btn, scn2DwnB_btn...scn2DwnK_btn.
    The last keyframe uses a different button with an instance
    name of scn2Ok_btn
    here is the problem, when I test the movie everything works
    fine until the last frame.
    The DOWN button is used to advance each frame and then the OK
    button is used to advance to the next scene
    The down button has no script in the last frame but it is
    advancing to the next scene upon a mouse click.
    I would be glad to email source to anyone who would like to
    help.
    Thanks

    The code is just basic button code:
    scn3Ok_btn.onRelease = function...
    all code for each button is on a frame in an actions layer.
    each frame is a keyframe.
    So frame one actions would reference the instance names for
    the buttons in frame one of the timeline.
    Frame two actions would reference the instance names for the
    buttons in frame two of the timeline.
