Screen cracked, Need to turn phone off completely.

Off course, less than a week after my boyfriend gets this phone, he drops it and the screen cracked. We DO have insurance, but have to wait a week till payday for the deductible. Here is my problem.
Screen is cracked, phone is still on. I need to turn it off, as the alarms he has set for work keep sounding and are a pain to stop, as he has multiple each day. I know I can wait for the battery to die, of of course, BUT
I've read that I can do what is comparable to a battery pull with the volume down + power button for 10 seconds. I have done this, but it seems to restart rather than turn off. Is this what that action should do? Or am I doing it wrong. If this is what the action should do, am I out of luck until the battery dies?

This is what I found in the manual, page 55 in the Troubleshooting area for your device...
Crash recovery
In the unlikely event that your smartphone stops
responding to touches and key presses, try a forced
reboot—press and hold both Power and the down
volume key for 10 seconds.

Hi wiilson Cunha,
Oh man! That definitely sounds frustrating. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue by following the steps in this resource:

Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.

I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck.

Press the sleep/wake button, when the "Slide to Power Off" slider appears, slide to power your phone off.

When I updated to ios6 my phone is stuck on the loading screen. I've turned it off but nothing is working.

Loading screen is that the Apple Logo?
Try a hard reset, Press and hold the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple Logo.
If that doesn't work, force the phone into recovery mode and restore using iTunes:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Can I get total silence, all sounds off, on 6 without turning phone off?

Can I turn off all sounds on 6 plus without having to turn phone off?

If you just want to temporarily turn on all sounds from notifications, phone calls, messages, etc. you can turn on Do Not Disturb in your notification center. You can mute the iPhone by toggling the mute switch on the left side. As far as other apps, there may be some that you need to manually turn off to completely disable the sounds.

I no longer have my iphone and need to turn imessage off

i no longer own an iphone and need to turn imessage off but i no longer have the phone at all so i cant turn it off myself

If youv'e ever called them they should have it on file. If you haven't call your carrier first and tell them that you need imessage turned off but don't have the imei number for the old iphone and ask if they still have it. Once you get it you can call apple and give them that number or have your carrier just route you straight to them.

i have tried alot of solutions, but non of them have worked.

Have you tried walking it into the nearest Apple Store and asking for assistance there...?
I'm guessing you don't have Apple Care on it.

Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. What does this mean or what should i do?

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. I also tried plugging it in to the charger but it still did not work. What does this mean? What should i do?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,
Clinton
