Apple TV (2) turning on randomly/shuts off, reboots intermittently
Got my Apple TV just over a month ago on the 9th March, had the initial issue with AirPlay & iTunes but the most recent update solved it. Nowadays though, it seems to turn itself on randomly. Its not just the light coming on, when I change the TV to its input it is indeed on. I take it off & then some time later it turns itself back on. I checked to see if iTunes on my MacBook Pro maybe the cause, like if it was set to play media on the Apple TV but it wasn't.
Last night when I actually used it, I wanted to check another problem its been having recently. I have the auto-off timer set to 15 mins, so after I finished watching what I wanted through it I waited to see if it would shut off on its own. Just about an hour later it was still on. Then I observed that it would seemingly shut off, but the LED light would blink then it would turn back on stating it lost the network, then 5 seconds later find it & be back to the regular menu screen & this happens ever so often.
Any suggestions as to what could be the cause & solution?
Thanks.
hey,
been having the same problem every time we turn it on and press a button
turned off the iPod touch to make sure that wasn't doing anything, and made sure iTunes wasn't open on the laptop.
still been having the same problems, but thinking about asking in the Apple store
thanks

Airport Randomly Shuts-Off; Reboot Will Temporarily Solve The Problem
Ever since I've bought my Mac (July 2010) I've been having trouble with the Airport. I'll be browsing the net and all of a sudden my pages won't load, it just stops. The Airport icon in the menubar shows full signal, but when I go into System Preferences it says that my Airport if "Off." When I click the button to turn it on it acts like a dummy button, it just doesn't do anything. I can click it twenty-times and my Airport will still be off.
I doubt this is a router problem as I have tried this with various routers at various places. I took it into the local library, a hotel, a local gas station that has Wi-Fi and it continues to happens. Not to mention that the Airport itself shuts off. This really ***** when you're in the middle of a 1GB update and it just stops...then you have to start over.
After I do a complete reboot the Airport is on again, well most of the time. Sometimes it just stays off and I reboot it again. Sometimes it stays on for three-days and sometimes it stays on for five-minutes and I have to reboot six times or so until it stays on for a while. The average is about 30minutes until it shuts down again.
I've tried reinstalling my operating system, delete preference files, deleting my Airport connection and then recreating it, updating my Mac, trying different firewall settings, I tried booting in 64bit mode. Nothing seems to work. I tried an Apple Hardware test two times. One time I just did it and it reported no problems. The second time I waited until it shut down but it reported nothing, although I think it's because I rebooted and the Airport was "fixed" and it detected nothing.
I thought this was just something temporarily when I got my Mac so I waited and didn't call support. After 8months I decided to call support and they want $50 to try to diagnose it for me, which isn't fair because it happened from day one and I just thought an update or something would fix it. Not to mention, that a Genius Bar will look at it for free (two hours away from the closest one). Any hints, ideas, or tips? Thanks.Sorry for bringing this ancient thread back to life.
Back when I originally posted this, I did take your advice. I drove 2.5hours to the nearest Apple store and left it overnight for them to do diagnostics. They could find nothing (or so they claimed) and have me drive back up the next day to get it.
Ever since I've been dealing with the issue. Finally I broke down and bought a new Airport card and antenna. It worked about a day and then the same issue appeared again.
I'm now on 10.8.2 with 8GB of RAM and an SSD – still the same laptop though. -
My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

My phone randomly shuts off. I will be in the middle of using it and it will completely turn off. I can also not have used it all night and I will pick it up and click the home button and then it will flash the apple restart screen. I'm not sure what is causing this as I have only had the phone for about two weeks. It's a little concerning and just wanted to see if anyone knew what it could be without me having to go into the Apple store.
Thanks!Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
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.

If the issue persists...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

This happened after I did a software update on my phone about a month and a half ago. My phone will randomly shut off by itself and wont come back on. I had spoke with an apple repair person over the phone who told me to hold in the home button and then plug it into my computer. When the iphone said that there was an error and gave him a code he suggested that I send it in. So I did and about a week and a half later I get it back and its on. Yet the problem still occurs. It shut off twice in the same day and for several hours would not come on. When it did I called apple again and they ran a diagnostic on my phone and said it was a software issue. So then why was it not fixed? They told me they could not duplicate the problem. And now it happens about once or twice a week now. And its happening right now. I have it plugged into my computer and the apple logo with a bar below it has been on for about 20 min now. And itunes is still saying "waiting for iphone."
Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My phone randomly shut off. When I turned it back on it said it needed to restore, to plug it into itunes. When I did, and tried to restore it, it failed with a code 21. I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all that the steps told me to, I've updated everything in my computer. I don't know what else to do. My phone will just show the apple sign and the itunes plug in sign.

Glitchs like that sometimes happen
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.
- Restore from backup. See:

Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on
I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!
Try running an Apple Hardware Test:

If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.

Iphone 6 randomly shut off and will not turn back on - help!
I bought my IPhone 6 last fall from T-Mobile. My iPhone 6 was working just fine about an hour ago. Went to hit the home button to check the time and it would not turn on. It appears to have randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on. Tried holding the power button - nothing... same with the home button. Assuming I need to take it in for service, but I'm not sure if there is some easy fix for this.

Iphone randomly shut off and won't turn back on!
My power button has been stuck recently (not a major issue) and my Iphone 4S randomly shut off without any damage or moisture and over half battery life. Plugging it in to the computer or wall doesn't turn it back on.
I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?This is very bad. It is very difficult to deal with problems without power button function. If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and Isopropyl Alcohol. If still nothing, next would be battery replacement. If still nothing, replacement of the charging port with flex cable and lower mic. And on and on. If you want Apple to handle this, they offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem. -

My 13inch MacBook Pro randomly shut off and won't turn on
My 13 inch MacBook Pro will not turn on at all. It randomly shut off while I was using it and now it won't come back on. The light on the charger is faintly blinking... But it is no longer charging. I tried a different outlet, and a different MacBook charger... Nothing. The screen is completely black and none of buttons or keys are responsive. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it seems that it shut off not even one second after I connected my iPhone to it via USB. I guess I should include that this was the first time my iPhone was connected to my MacBook since upgrading to ios 6.0. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..
jc1122,
by “boot” I mean “use as the disk from which OS X will be run”. At the moment, all that is known is that your computer won’t start from its internal hard disk; my suggestion is to see whether it is able to start from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD, which is bootable (i.e. able to be used a disk from which OS X can be run). -
