Slide to unlock not responding

My ipad2 is not responding to slide to unlock / power off, tried several times by rebooting but no success

By rebooting do you mean a reset ? - press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    slide to unlock not responding on my Ipad 2, tried to hard reset it, still not responding, any suggestions

    If Restore doesn't work, force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • IPod touch "slide to unlock" not responding, same with "slide to power off."

         I'm trying to fix my friend's iPod 5. As of last night she said that her iPod will not slide to unlock, as if the touchscreen is unresponsive. However, assistive touch is turned on and that functions fine. The device also cannot be powered down, as that slide bar has the same response, and no amount of tapping or sliding yields any response. The device is also protected by a password, making it impossible to connect to itunes, and even if you use siri to force your way to the passcode screen, none of the buttons but assistive touch will respond.   
         I've tried to force the device into recovery mode, however the home button is broken (why the device requires assistive touch) and no matter how much I try it will not go into recovery mode or do any sort of reset. As for physical damage the screen is in perfect condition, the only flaw being the broken home button which was done months before this problem.
         Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Try letting the battery fully drain. Then charge and restore if you can. Otherwise
    make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem besides the button.

  • IPad mini slide to unlock not responding

    For some reason when the iPad mini is powered off then powered on, the slide to unlock will not immediately respond to my finger until several tries. But when it's on standby mode there is no problem. I already reset the iPad and updated to the latest OS but it is still doing that. Anybody has experience this and know any solution?

    Try this:
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
    If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

  • HT4759 ipad slide to unlock not responding

    nothing is working. may be time to go to the apple store. is this how they planned it?

    Did you try resetting it (by holding the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then releasing)?

  • Slide to unlock not working

    Ipod 2nd Generation, Slide to unlock is not working - Ipod is not reponding to "sliding".  I've tried a soft reset but it still won't slide to unlock.

    You probably encounter the same problem then mine. The problem is not hardware but software due to a bad update by Apple. MIne was working perfectly... I repeat perfectly... No bugs and no problem at all and just after I decided to update the OS it stop working!
    I did try all those tricks... restore, factory restore,... even go to the App Store where they tried to push me to buy a newer product or to pay for a fictional repair since the issue is not physical. It doesn't have a scratch or even a single drop of liquid... It was a careless update. A way to push people like me and you to throw their old iPod Touch into the garbage. The only solution will be to find an older OS but it seems to be impossible to find.
    For sure I will never buy a Apple product again !

  • TS3274 my ipad slide to unlock wont respond

    my ipad "slide to unlock" will not work for some reason, have tried connecting to computer, still no luck. anyone know whats wrong

    Try rebooting the iPad.
    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.

  • Slide to unlock not working but I can slide to answer calls (power button broken) HELP!

    Can anyone please help? 24 hours before my upgrade is due and my iPhone 5 has decided it won't let me slide to unlock...I can slide to answer a call no problem weirdly so Im thinking it isn't a fault with that part of the screen? My problem is compounded by the fact that the power on/off button hasn't worked in a while. this hasn't been a major issue until i am now trying to at least back up and then restore my phone. I can't enter the passcode to restore it! And i can't try lots of the suggestions I've seen which is holding the home and power button together as my power button doesn't work. I can't even sell the phone as faulty at the moment as i have no way of getting all my data off it!

    Take the device to Apple to address the hardware issue.

  • Slide to Unlock Does not respond.

    I have the new iPad.  When I turn it off and then back on, the slide to unlock does not respond.  However, when I do slide it and wait a little bit, it does unlock.  Is there anything I can do to get the slide to unlock to respond?

    I have the same problem as dberkovich and I too did resets, restores, reboot, etc.  Still acts the same. 
    Power up iPad (3-new)
    slide to unlock is frozen, lights do not move in the background,
    wait 10-15 seconds, screen goes black
    push home button and slide to unlock is working perfectly.
    This occurs everytime after complete power off and then back on.
    Took it to a Mac Store,(not Apple store) and representative said "We've never heard of this and it may be software and you should take it to an Apple store."
    Fact:  My nearest Apple store is about a 3 hour drive each way with even no traffic.
    This problem occured when my software was updated with IOS6.

  • TS4036 my slide lock is not functioning and making backing my iCloud impossible

    i've being finding it difficult using my iPad for the 2 months, cos the slide locking is not responding. its iPad NextGen 16GB.

    What do you mean by "slide lock"?  To back up to iCloud you simply connect it to your charger and wifi and lock the screen, which is done by pressing the sleep/wake (on/off) button once so the screen goes dark.

  • HT4061 Please can you help. My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage. When i press on c e or settings it doesn't respond. It won't slide to unlock. Any suggestions ?

    Please can you help.  My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage.  When i press on the words CLOSE or SETTINGS it doesn't respond.  It won't slide to unlock or close down. The ipad is 16GB and about a year old.  Any suggestions.
    Annmarie

    THis suggestion also worked for my iphone! After a few warnings, the screen on my iPhone froze. there was no way to make phone calls or manage my iCloud storage or even turn it off. I deleted all the photos on my iphone, checked storage and nothing changed. So I purchased more storage, did the backup and still the screen remained frozen. To be sure, I checked that the new amount of storage was registered, it was but somehow my Mac showed the backup I had just performed (a couple of times) not having happened (it show the last one some 2 weeks before). Weird but I followed your suggestion  (wish I had seen it before I purchased new storage) and Ta DAH!!! I'm back in business too. thanks!!
