Slide to power off won't work

Trying to do a recovery on an iPod touch but when i go to slide the power bar off it goes back to the start every time. The slide gets all the way to the end and when its at about 80% it stops and goes back to the beginning. It is locked in disabled mode it is my cousins sons ipod and I am trying to help them out. Anyway around this I want to wipe the memory and get this thing working.
Thank you for your help

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Iphone 4 slide to unlock and slide to power off will not work but all other touch features work

Iphone 4 slide to unlock and slide to power off will not work but all other touch features work properly

You will have to get it serviced.

HT201412 How can I restart my iphone 4s if the screen 'slide to unlock' or 'slide to power off' doesn't work? Do i have to let the battery run out?

My daughters 4s has frozen. Displays the 'slide to unlock' message but is unresponsive.
Online help says resart device but I can't power off as the slide function does not work.
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Message about iCloud backup and it won't clear. It also won't allow me to do anything else. iPad. It is plugged in and now locked, the slides for getting in and the power off don't work, but the message stays. I have hit ok numerous times.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the iPad and seeing if that helps.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.

My iphone 4s is frozen and my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. HELP

my iphone 4s is frozen on the lock screen. my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. It has 100% battery and nothing happens when i plug it into the computer.
My phone screen also is in negative. It is like twitching and ive tried to invert the colors but thats not it. i cant see any apps, pictures , or anything in regular colors. PLEASE HELPPP!

You can't. You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone. It will restart.
Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed.

Wont power off or slide to power off

Ipad 2 will not power off holing down off button- screen pops up to slide to power off and wont allow

"Won't allow?" What happens when you slide?
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 the screen blacks out or 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. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow 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."

The lock screen on my IPad zoomed in on itself. It is zoomed in so far that I can't unlock it, and I can't see the 'slide to power off' option. I've tried to reset it numerous times. Any suggestions?

Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal size. If it works go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

Screen flashes black and then shows slide to power off

While playing music the screen repeatedly flashes to black then flashes to the slide to power off screen. When I tap cancel it usually works for a few min before doing it again but sometimes it flashes between the black screen and the itunes screen several times before showing the slide to power off screen.

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

When unlocking my iphone with the camera slide, my volume controls won't work on video playbacks. However, if I unlock the phone normally and open the camera roll I am able to watch my videos and control the volume. Anyone else notice this?

Ipod power button won't work

As of late, my power button is acting weird. Either when you press the power button it won't turn on.. or it will.. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't..
To get it to turn off if the power button won't work, I'll just drain the battery. Anybody know anything to help?

That's a hardware problem. Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse (don't try to fix it yourself), they replace it with a refurbished unit. The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

Iphone slide to power off frequently

Hi every one.
my iphone keep prompting slide to power off automatically and the power off button also not working . is anyone facing same issues . is there anyway to get rid of this issues

Strangely, I have the exact same problem, it started yesterday too. I've reinstalled the firmware and it was doing the same thing before I even restored from backup.
No warranty and not even an Apple Service Centre here

"slide to power off" notice keeps appearing

iPad Mini: "Slide to power off" notice keeps appearing. Fully charged. Restored to original settings and then restored from backup ok.
How do I get this notice to stop popping up, please?
Thx.
Dan

Problem solved.
Turns out that evidently the iPad Mini was dropped and the clear shell case for the back came off. It must have been put back on backwards so the On/Off Sleep/Wake button was being pressed by the case when held tightly... causing the "Slide to Power Off" message to show. This was discovered when the Smart Cover wouldn't stand the unit properly... But.. only after I guessed the Smart Cover was broken and I bought a new Smart Cover. The new red Smart cover didn't work any better than the previous blue one. Soooooo... I looked carefully at the unit and found that the clear back had been put on backwards!
Now, how do I turn this into a positive "teaching moment" with my spouse? Or, maybe after 53 years of marriage I'll just take credit for fixing it and getting her a beautiful new red cover!
Thanks for your help.
Dan
