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."

    Reboot the phone:  hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "slide to shut down".  When the screen has been completely black for a few minutes, press the power button again.

    Hold the power button and it should show a red battery icon with a lightning bolt symbol. That symbol indicates charging.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Perform a Reset...

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Ipad wont power on even though the charging icon is showing

    My ipad battery completely drained and now it wont power on when i charge it. hv tried different cables. The charging icon shows then as it trys to turn on, it switches off again. hv been doing this all day

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Be sure to keep it connected to the charger plugged into a known good wall outlet.

  • Iphone 4s wont turn off

    OK so I was watching a TV show and I noticed my wifi wants working on the screen (it was on 4G) . So i thought, why not restart it so maybe it will work again, thinking nothing of it. I held the button for well over 30 seconds and still nothing. What do I do. I already had problems on my phone (it would randomly turn off and I would have to reset it by holding the power button and home button for 10 secs). But not that problem is not happening anymore. So almost like a trade off, but it is worst. So it wont turn off and the wifi wont work. Any suggestions would b

    Use Assistive Touch until you can have the iPhone evaluated for Warranty Coverage fix.
    Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch>Turn it ON.
    Use the new screen White Button, select Device>touch Lock Screen, this will turn OFF Screen.
    If you touch and hold the Lock Screen button for 3 seconds it will give you the "slide to power off" slider so you can turn OFF your iPhone. To turn iPhone back ON, connect to Wall Charger or USB.

  • Iphone wont power on unless on charge and itunes cannot restore iphone,, what can i do?

    I recently bought an iphone off Ebay, the seller said it was broken and described the problems too me, the phone in my view is fixable. The main problem i have is that the phone wont power on unless it is plugged in on charge. This is where it leads onto my next problem. there are a lot of ways people are describing to restore the phone if it doesnt work. (Hold down power and home, let go of power then it goes into a certain mode which it will let it restore then connect to itunes.) My problem is that to do this i have to be connected to itunes to get it to this stage.
    the battery isnt the problem I have been told as the previous owner said they had replaced the battery already to see if that was the problem but it clealy wasnt.
    If anyone can help me to restore this phone or tell me if I need to just take it to a repare shop. If there is a simple way of doing it myself and saving about £100 I would love to hear it!!!

    How exactly were you able to do that? Since the only signed software, for your phone, is iOS 7.0.3, that's the only version of iOS you could install on your phone.

  • Tv wont power in takes several attempts

    Hi I got a toshiba 32" tv from carephone warehouse with my mobile contract.
    Literally for a week it was fine but since then when we power off (standby or via plug) it takes sever attemps to get it on-somes 30 mins plus. The red light will flash to green abd itstill wont power on. When we do eventually get it on it goes off as soon as I touch any button on the cable remote and we have to start again. Sometimes itll come on but with no sound and sometimes itll come on but keep going off and restarting. Ive had the tv 3 months. I contacted toshiba and tgete were useless basically was told factory reset which did nothing or call out a tech. Why should I pay a tech to fix a 3 month old tv. Ive Google'd and kniw others have had similar issues. Any advise?
    Thanks

    It does sound like it needs repairs. It should still be under warranty.
