  • Sleep button dose not work

    Sleep button dose not work properly ,
    I have to press it for several time
    What can I do?

    Have you tried a soft reset?   Hold down the Home button and the Power button on the phone until you see the Apple logo appear, then carefully release the buttons allowing the phone to boot back up.

  • HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

    my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.

It turned on but then it didnt say it was charging, the sleep/wake button wasnt working, and the camera wasnt working. it eventually started charging but if you press the sleep button nothing happens and when you open the camera, the shutter stays closed. It was working completely well the last time i had used it. PLEASE HELP What should i do??

  • My iPod Touch 4G Lock/Sleep Button Will Not Work

    I recently had an incident with my iPod Touch 4G where the screen was shattered to the point of no use. I sent my iPod Touch off to a Non Apple repair place (good example of why you should NEVER do this) due to me not having enough money to get apple to fix it and there not being a warranty on my device. When I got it back everything is working except for the lock/Sleep button.  I asked about it and the person I had repair it said that he could not find what was wrong with it.  Is there any way that I can fix this without paying a large price or am I never going to be able to get this fixed?  I cant turn it on without plugging it in, lock it, or unlock it and it is really annoying and I am thinking about just getting rid of it if I can't get it fixed.
    "Note: I have tried a full restore 2 times and it did not fix the issue. I also had the person check all the ribbon cables and they are all fine and correctly attached."

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen wake/sleep button is not working what should i do?

    I was using my ipod suddenly its wake sleep button stopped working else all is right i am not able to use my ipod  as by that button only all things can be operated i dont know where to take my ipod for care 

    Hi Atique ur rehman,
    Thanks for your query.
    If the sleep wake button on your iPhone is unresponsive, first try and reset all setting by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
    If this does not resolve the problem, I would sound more like a hardware based issue.
    I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
    Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
    Thanks,
    KL

  • My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

    My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My wake-up/sleep button does not work, but the serial is out from Apple list to repair. What i do now?

    The wake-up/ sleep iPhone 5 botton does not work, but the serial number is out of list to recall from Apple. The problem is so similar the described in the article in the site. I want to repair in the program, like other iPhones, how it is possible?
    Thanks.

    Then there isn't anything you can do about it then. Your only choice is to pay to have the device fixed or replaced. Apple is in charge of that, and as I said in the other thread, this is not Apple you are talking to, we are users like you and cannot do anything about that.

  • My iPhone won't charge and the sleep button does not work, Please Help!

    I woke up this morning and my iphone was dead. I have been using the assisted touch setting because one day for no particular reason my sleep button stopped working, so I can't even try a hard reset now.  The phone never had a bad drop and the only way it could be water damaged is from being in a steamy bathroom. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get my phone to work again, Please leave a suggestion!!
    Thank you

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • Ios 7.1.2 froze my iphone 5, cant reboot as my sleep button does not work! What do i do?

    was updating my ios and then it went to white screen with the apple and loading bar. it loaded only near half way but then froze!
    and i can not reboot it because my sleep button is broken!
    not sure what to do now?

    I had the same issue.  Basically you need to get the phone to reboot. I suspect waiting for the battery to run out would do this, but I didn't want to wait for it.   iTunes would recognize my phone when I plugged it into my PC, though the phone was still locked up during update (black screen with apple symbol and progress bar at around 1/3).  I didn't want to go through the hassle of a full restore so I found a small Windows program called reiboot  that was able to place my phone into recovery mode.  Then it let me take it out of recovery mode, which caused the phone to reboot (i think other programs like tiny umbrella may do the same thing). After a reboot, it showed the update screen for a minute, then started up running 7.1.2 fine.

  • HT201412 sleep button does not work and iphone 4 is frozen and won't turn on

    sleep button broke a while ago and now my iphone 4 is frozen and i can't get it to reset also it doesn't sink up with the computer
    please help i miss my phone

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Either replace your phone...Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, cost is US $149 for an iPhone 4...or go to a third-party repair shop & get your phone fixed.

  • HT1430 My sleep button doesn't work at all I can't turn phone off or lock it

    My phone sleep button does not work at all I can't turn phone on or off or unlock it

    Make a Genius Bar reservation for your nearest Apple store to have the Tech person create a repair order for you.  Be sure your phone is backed up to iCloud or iTunes prior to going in.
