Why won't the button on front of ipad work?

The button on the front of my Ipad 2 doesn't work. When in an app, if I push the button, nothing happens. To end an ap, I have to power it off and then back on.

Try the basics from the manual:  restart, reset, restore.
If these fail, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Why won't the data cable charge my iPad when connected to pc

    For some reason when I connect my iPad to my pc with the supplied data cable it won't charge the iPad. It syncs ok but just won't charge it.
    Is there a reason for this or do I need to get a different cable?
    When I connect my iPhone to the pc with data cable from iPad, it charges my iPhone.
    I just really need to know why it therefore won't charge my iPad.
    The only way I can charge iPad up at the moment is by connecting it to the mains plug with data cable supplied

    Bravo Blues#2. I often wonder what happens to some people when wrapped in the blanket of anonymity. Rather than use the faceless forum of an online discussion group to show the best in human nature, so often people become nasty, arrogant, or just plain anti-social.
    Thanks for saying something.
    On another note, I consistently have a problem charging my iPads with any cable other than the short cable
    supplied by Apple. I have purchased over a half dozen ten foot cables and they will charge my iPod and iPhone just fine. I have tried exchanging the cables, the chargers and the iPads. With every charger I reach the same result, I cannot find a ten foot cable that will charge my iPad. I could probably go to Apple and buy a cable from them, but they are SO expensive.
    Suggestions?  What, other than length, is the difference between the short cables that come with the device and the longer cables I keep getting from eBay?
    Thanks much for your help.

  • Why won't the latest version of adobe flashplayer work?

    I've successfully uploaded it several times now, yet any time Adobe Flashplayer is needed to view something (such as an ECard or facebook game) it tells me I need to upload it.  Anyone else have this problem???

    Be sure you are downloading the Flash installer straight from Adobe's site.  DO NOT EVER download from any other site!  There is currently a trojan going around that fools you into downloading a fake Flash installer.  See:
    http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?tag=flashback
    If you have downloaded the latest version directly from Adobe and it's not working, see the link Carolyn gave you.

  • HT1688 Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down when I press the bottom volume up only works?

    Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

    Hey cacobo,
    I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

    I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

  • In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

    In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

    I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
    and change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
    but change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'
    The explain plan will show full scan.
    Why？
    Thanks.

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

    Thank you for the help.

    Hi;
    This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

  • Why won't the images display in this flash widget?

    why won't the images display in this flash widget?
    http://www.coffeeandcandles.com/Wholesale_s/41.htm

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and
    loading images from a folder maybe your path to that location is
    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or
    level but noticed that when initially published.

  • Why won't the full song play?

    why won't the full song play? It plays the first 11 seconds on EVERY device then skips to the next song. It's Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

    Hi bsiria,
    If you are having an issue with one or more songs not playing completely, you may want to troubleshoot this by using the steps in this arcticle -
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Specifically -
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

  • G4 AGP can't turn on with the button in front

    My G4 just fine in any operation except turnning on with the button in front, the only way to turn it on is unplug n plug it after few seconds, it will turn on once it was just plug in, need no press the button, reset everything PMU, OptionCommandRP, take out the battery from the logic + uplug overnite, still unchange, are there something that I miss to do, please help!

    I don't think the glass-looking component you see is a fuse. It's probably a diode. Reverse the + & - leads from the multimeter on the "diode". Do you get any ohms?
    You said you did the PMU reset, but did you follow Apple's instructions. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial There's also some other tips to try when a Mac doesn't startup.
     Cheers, Tom
