Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Ipad2 won't shut down even when i press the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.

I can't shut down my ipad2 even when i press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time.

If the screen appears to be zoomed in, then does tapping the screen with three fingers zoom you back out ? When zoom is on you should also be able to scroll around the screen using three fingers on the screen.
If you are seeing the keypad then that should be for the iPad's passcode, I assume that you have one set ? If the iPad is disabled then I wouldn't expect the keypad to show.

If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you.

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My daughter tried to open a game on her Ipod touch and the screen went white and I can't get it to do ANYTHING...I've tried holding the sleep/wake button and it does NOTHING, still only a white screen.

My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???

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 that doesn't work, try a Restore:
From iTunes, select the iPad 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.
There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing.

Any idea why a 3 month old new IPad won't turn on? It has been charged today and was working perfectly last night while I used it to read a book. I have tried both the sleep/wake button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is happening.

Any idea why a 3 month old Ipad will not turn on? It has been charged and I haved tried the sleep/mute button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is

1. Hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together
2. For 10 to 15 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo
4. Ignore the red slider
Note: Repeat it if it doesn't work the first time

HT201412 My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for 10 secs but no response. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait or landscape view...any suggestions?

My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the slep/wake button and home button for more than 10 secs but nothing hapened. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait and landscape views...

While this could potentially be a hardwar issue:
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
If the reset doesn't work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings

Iphone 5 doesnt boot up on charging, the sleep wake button doesnt work either

I have an iphone 5 which usually boots up when charged from zero power, but now it just is not booting up.
I can just see a white screen with black apple logo on my phone.
Also the phone's sleep/wake button does not work.
the apple geniuses cannot quite figure out the problem, so it is like I have a very expensive piece of stone.

If plugging iPhone onto the wall charger do not turn it ON, make an appointment with the Apple genius bar for an evaluation.

Why does my iphone print ok when I am near the printer but will not print from other locations?

Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 and everything works except that I cannot print from my iphone when I am not at home. It works fine when I am near the printer. It doesn't even show my printer when I try to print from a location other than at home.

Hi ADPROP,
The Airprint feature (direct printing from your iPhone) provide print functionality over the local network only.
You may install the HP ePrint Home & Biz app.
By enabling the ePrint feature for your printer, you may add the printer ePrint address within Settings > Manage ePrinters, then you will be able to print remotely through the app.
You may find more information of the app features below:

Why does TDM Importer start up when I open an Excel file in LabVIEW, and how can I stop it?

I have a new application using LabVIEW 2012 SP1. I open an Excel file using the Report Generation toolkit and when I do so, a small TDM Importer window pops up on top of the Excel file.
How can I prevent this?

Hi Steve,
The TDM Importer pops up because the report generated in LabVIEW is in the TDMS file format. TDMS is a binary file that requires an importer to make sense of the binary data and translate it into an Excel spreadsheet. As per this white paper, the appearance of the floating toolbar is expected behavior: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5874/en/
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get rid of the floating toolbar unless you uninstall the add-in, in which case you probably would not be able to open your LabVIEW-generated reports. However, as of Excel 2007, the toolbar is embedded in the "Add-Ins" tab instead of floating on your spreadsheet. You can see how the toolbar looks as of Excel 2007 in step 6 of this white paper: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5885/en/
If there is a way to embed the toolbar in Excel 2003, it would be the exact same way you would embed any other floating customer toolbar in Excel. In other words, I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it's NI's add-in. This is just the way Excel 2003 and earlier treats add-in toolbars. Someone on these forums may well know a way to embed it (perhaps a macro?), but you may have better luck contacting Microsoft. I'm not sure whether it's even possible for a user to embed the toolbar.

HT1430 my iphone 4s will not shut off. I've tried everyone suggestions but when it looks like it shuts off in a few seconds it comes back on. I've tried every combination of the sleep/wake button and the home button. Nothing works.

My iphone 4s will not shut off. I have tried every combination of sleep/wake and home (round) buttons with no success. Don't know what else to try. (Try telling that to the airline stuardess).

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what. Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
Cleaning iPod touch
Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information
Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.
