Hi Wendy, I just press and hold the top button until the red slide appears, then it does take about a full minute to turn itself off.
But, you shouldn't be having such problems from the start, and it may be faulty. I suggest connecting it to iTunes and doing a full restore, then just try using it with the basic setup. If you are still unable to use it, then it may have to be replaced. Cheers, Susan Sent from my iPad On 27/08/2010, at 5:04 AM, "Wendy S.
