While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

TS2972 the homesharing on my apple tv works for about 5 minutes then stops working

I had to have my the hard drive on my computer reformatted and then reload all the programs. Since then when I pull up pictures on my TV through Homesharing, it works for about 5 minutes and then disconnects. I have extended the time until the screen saver comes on and the time for the computer to go to sleep, but it does not seem to make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

You broke your phone. What's so hard to understand?
Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and likely replacement.

I just set up my Apple TV. I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

Is it always at the 15 minute mark?
To make sure it's not a connectivity issue
What is your connection via speedtest.net?
Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

I left my ipad to charge when it was almost 5% for about 7 hours it stops at 95%. is there problem with my mini ipad i just bought 3 days ago

i purposely allow my ipad to drain to almost 5% and wanted to give it a full charge for about 7 hours. it stops at 95% ; i unplug and reconnect it again the battery indicator shows that it is charging again. should i change my new min ipad from singtel?i just bought this 3 days ago. really feeling regret already. The mini ipad is pretty slow to download apps although i am using broadband wifi

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.

My guess would also be a failling connection between your logicboard and your GPU. See 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
For most users it starts with some random crashes and freezes like you describe it. And then it just gets worse and worse. There are still no "good" solutions, sadly. This is a hardware problem from the production.

Hard reset by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake lock button (BUtton on the bottom of your display, button you use to turn the screen black) hold them both down for 15 seconds till you see the apple reappear

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5. It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time. Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”. It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone. If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then it turns back on itself. I have updated the software so thats not the issue, any suggestions?

Do you have a case on the iPhone or have you damaged it in anyway? If you have a case, try testing without the case.
Also, try restoring the iPhone and testing it as a new device.
If that doesn't take care of it, get a Genius to take a look at it or setup service online.
