Wont turn off or restart

my friend just called me in a panic saying herm power book went to sleep when she was at school and when she came home it wont turn on or restart even when you take the battery out.

Well, if there is no power than how is it going to start? With the battery in & the power cable plugged in, try to turn it on. When the powerbook goes to sleep and the battery runs out, it'll still be on but you won't be able to wake the computer up because there just isn't enough power. But, when this happens, you can plug in the power cord then press the power button in order to wake it up. If what I said doesn't work, then there is probably a bigger issue.

  • 3gs wont turn off or restart, but will sleep after the minute that is set on my auto-lock

    Has this ever happen to any one?

    You could try holding the Home button and the on/off buttonfor 10 seconds, which should do a hard reset, unless obviously you've already tried that.
    Eventually the phone will run out of battery and will obviously automatically turn off. When this happens you can try and turn it on again (after plugging it in to charge) and see if the phone turns on and off ok.

  • My mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • My i pod wont turn off ?

    yeah so i let it charge for like a day, which ive done before, but for some reason now it wont turn off so i cant take it any where cause i dont want the battery to die
    its like ill sit there for pretty much a whole song holding the pause button but it still wont turn off, but the pause button works cause i can pause a song
    ive tried:
    -charging it some more
    -leaving it alone for a wile (all day, like not playing anything)
    -hooking it up to my computer (its been a while cause i only do it when i download stuff)
    -putting it on hold (my friend does that to turn it off)
    so yeah is there any other way to turn it off? or has this happened to anyone?

    I just press menu+select(or enter or whatever its called) for about 5 seconds. that should restart the ipod( i think it clears the cache but correct me if im wrong). Anyways, do that and you shouldnt have any more problems (at least for a while)
    Just do that everytime it doesnt want to shut off, thats what i do

  • 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.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

  • TS2771 what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all

    what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.
