Red slider will not slide

My wife's phone, which previously was my own, has frozen! Nothing happens and sliders, such as the red slider, do not slide! Nothing appears to be operating. I have called the number and it rings but likewise I cannot answer the phone.
When I try to turn the phone off by holding down the home button and the power button together the red slider appears and again will not slide!
Can anyone help?

Thanks so very much Paul. What you have suggested I had been trying but with no success. Left the phone for a few hours and did as you suggested and voila! All now in order.
Thanks so very much
Brian

    Reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.

    To get pass the passcode lockscreen, recovery mode and restoring should help: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • Master Slide will Not unlock

    Master Slide will Not unlock, I need to edit a bullet point style and I cant seem to edit it.
    I can see the master slide and when I goto arrange unlock, it is all greyed out.
    I tried to select different pages in the master select and it still does not work.
    any suggestions?
    What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think you are doing anything wrong. The Master Slides are not locked, per se, although certain elements within the Master might be. The Arrange and Format menus are context sensitive.
    Try this:
    Open the Master Navigator (slide the navigator view down with the handle at the top (looks like two parallel lines) to expose the Master Slides.
    Select the Master Slide you wish to modify and select a line of bulleted text then Text Inspector > Bullets > select the bullet style you want.
    Return to normal editing (close the Master Slide navigator) and create a new slide and then select the modified bulleted master from the toolbar pull down menu.
    I think you will find that the bullet has changed to your new style. It works for me.
    Good Luck.

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).

  • PPT slides will not advance on their own, pausing automatically in Captivate 6 import

    So frustrating, This was working around 8 pm lst nite, then all of a sudden the slides will not advance on their own. I've read several posts and tried most.  I've unchecked the compression settings in Captivate 6, made sure I have the patch, I uninstalled 6 and tried using 5.5, then reinstalled 6 with the patch update. I've used Continue on enter and Go to next slide on Exit. NOTHING WORKS! and I need this by noon!  what am I doing wrong!!  This is Powerpoint 2007 slideshow with animation but no slide transitions going into Captivate 6. Please help I hvave 4 more to do this week by Wednesday.

    Hi,
    Can you check this in your PowerPoint.
    Go to a slide select the object(s) that has animation applied, go to Animation tab and check if the  animation is timed to appear ON CLICK with the Slide, that property would not migrate, you should change the drop down to With Previous .
    Repeat this for all the animations. Go to Captivate library, if the Presentation is linked you can update it (if it is not linked switch to link from embed)
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • HT4061 the phone will not slide to unlock

    My iphone S4 is locked and will not slide to unlock

    I just had this problem two days ago and the Apple support line suggested that I press power and home button at same time. It took a few tries and the Apple logo showed and everything started working again. The screen now is sensitive to touch and I can unlock it to answer called, etc.
    Thank you Apple

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

    Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 to reapair permissions if #4 doesn't help.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If still not working log into another user account on your Mac and try a slideshow from there.  If it works there then the problem is limited to your account. If it fails there it's system wide and may require a reinstall of iPhoto or the system.

  • Screen will not slide to unlock

    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • HT4623 my wifi button is on off and will not slide into the on postion

    my wifi button is on off and will not slide into the on postion

    Ignore joseph's post. 
    Use this article: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Support - Apple
    Follow all of the troubleshooting steps.  You can even try restoring the device as new: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
    If within warranty, it should be free.
    If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
