Turning OFF your locked up iPhone / iPad

For those of you who may have had your iPhone lock up, here's the mystery solution to turning off your iPhone & restarting it.

It's nothing more than my First Rule of Computing - "when all else fails, turn it OFF and then back ON again".

• Hold down the HOME Button 
• while pressing the ON/OFF switch at the top 
• for 7 seconds 

and voila the thing turns OFF!

Turn it back on (hold down the ON/OFF switch) and all apps should be closed, and ready to open again.
