I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.

I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    I have a new ipad mini that I need to activate but I need to get the data from my old ipad 1 and install on the new mini.  I have a itunes acct and also icloud acct.  How do I back up the ipad 1 data and then activate the mini.  I assume I will need to transfer the sim from the ipad 1 to the mini.
    Thanks for any info

    Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

    I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
    Thank you, Ripley

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I got an update message for iOS 7 but can't download as it keeps shutting down and the wheel goes so slow that you can hardly see it moving and says it will take 5-6 hours to download approx. 64 megabytes

    Which way are you trying to update - iTunes or WiFi in the iPad settings? Try switching from one method to the other method. If you don't have a computer and need to use WiFi, try closing all apps and then reboot your iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the apps in the recents tray. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar when you are done.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    It wouldn't hurt to reboot your router either by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it fully start up and then try to update again.

    Hey Beata G,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to install the software update, you may need to plug the iPad Mini into a power source. If it is below a certain percentage in power it will require power to ensure that iPad Mini does not loose power when installing. If you still have issues the following article will walk you through that process and also if you want to update the iPad Mini through iTunes.

  • HT201706 how do I recover a voice memo that didnt finalize due to low battery shut down in the middle of the recording?

    iOS 8.1.2 battery on ipod touch died in the middle of recording a voice memo.  Now I found the file but the file wont play and I cant email it.  I get a message that says its being optimized for sharing at this time.  That optimization never happens.  What's up Apple?

  • Is there a way to recover a deleted video from iPad mini that wasn't backed up to iCloud or iTunes?

    I have a new Ipad mini that I used to take video. It never connected to the wifi and the video was deleted by mistake. It wasn't save to ICloud and was not connected to save to ITunes. Do any of you Mac Genius know of a way to retrieve a deleted video from an IPAD? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, when something is deleted it is gone forever, if you never made a backup.

    hi I have bought an ipad mini wich was advertised as unlocked to any network, when I put nano sim from giff gaff in the ipad says invalid sim, how can I find out what network it is locked to?

    There is nothing on the iPad itself that can tell you. Did you buy it from a reputable retailer? You can try asking them.
