Apple tv turns off randomly
Hi there
Since about a week my Apple TV turns off randomly. Just turns off and on, but of course you have to wait until turn on again and then pick up the show/movie were you left it. Very very annoying
Any one of you have experienced that problem?
I wonder if I have to re-set everything or change the device
Thanks in advance for your input guys
R
Did you have any change before?
Well, you may try reset and restore (to factory setting + download latest firmware) your ATV. Of course, you need to reconfigure the box after it restarts.

These computers have got a damaged NVIDIA graphic which may cause unexpected restarts, kernel panics, black screens... See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
Fortunately, Apple is repairing these computers for free, so make a backup of your data and take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller -
Have had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now, love it, but lately it has been turning off randomly with percentage rates of 50% or above and when I go back to turn it back on it has the dead battery sign on the screen. I am trying to figure out if its hardware issuse or if its the battery itself. Just need suggestions on what to do? Took it in and they want me to restore it but I want to try something else before I wipe it clean.

1) Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
2) Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...
3) Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

MacBook Pro Turns off Randomly Only when logged in OSX 10.8.2
Hi,
I have a 2010 Macbook pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. For a couple of weeks now, when its not plugged in to AC it turns off randomly, not at any specific battery%.
Things I have tried already that were not helpful:
- System profiler battery: 374 cycles, Battery Status: Normal
- SMC reset
- Clean install of Mountain Lion without any Migraion of old System files (wanted to do this anyways before the problem arose)
- Its does not seem to be a heating issue, has happened at low temperatures
What I have noticed is that if I either run the diagnostics at startup or enter to recovery mode, I can run the battery all the way to 0% (lasts a while) and this random swtiching off doesn't occur. It only happens when I am logged in to OSX. This makes me think its not a battery issue either.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Backlight turning off randomly
I have a late 2009 27" 2.66 iMac (latest OS and updates). Just the other day the backlight started turning off randomly (can still see screen under a light). I have corners enabled and can put the display to sleep, wake it again and the backlight turns back on, but only for a short time. And I have a second monitor plugged in with no problems on that.
I've read that it may need new hardware which I don't really want to be forking out on. I've tried the other things of reseting the PRAM and SMC with no luck.
I've tried to boot AHT to run a diagnostic but for some reason whatever I do I can't get it to run.
Anyone have any suggestions?It's probably a connection if it does it a lot when moving it. If it's out of warranty, you could use one of these guides to open it up and check for lose wires or connections.

IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...
My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens.
Thanks in advanced.Hey Tiffy6996!
I have an article here for you that describes this issue and can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
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.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
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 restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

5th Gen 60GB ipod turns off randomly
My iPod has a tendency to just turn off randomly. it'll leave a "ghost" screen shot of what was on it and then it slowly fades away to nothing. Then, the black screen and apple come up and take 20-30 seconds to reboot and start over at the main menu.
Any idea as to how to fix this?
thanksMy 5th Gen 80GB ipod also turns off/restarts randomly after about 2-3 minutes of use. Very annoying and have had much trouble in trying to solve this problem.

My 8350i start to turn off randomly a lot of times
The OS is
BlackBerry Handheld Software v5.0.0.1737 (Multilanguage)
Package Version: 5.0.0.1737
Consisting of:
Applications: 5.0.0.1074
Software Platform: 3.2.0.34
I didn´t istall any extra aplication and the meromy is clear , don´t have any picture,aditional file...
I read about this problem in many fourums and I reload the OS many times
it´s a question of harware? product quality?
what´s going on?
The problem persistIt doesn't matter how long you've been running the computer, the heat can build up fast. On my iMac, I can shut my computer down overnight, boot it up in the morning, and the temp on the CPU will be around 114 degrees F. However, if I start to do anything intensive like rendering video or playing a game full screen the temp reaches the point where the fans have to kick in high gear w/in about 5 minutes. So 30 minutes is plenty of time to get the heat built up. Besides, I think that the new C2D's are supposed to run cooler, so that means that the temp limit will be reached faster.
Also, like myhighway suggested, the RAM might be insufficient enough to do graphics-intensive tasks or other RAM utilizing tasks. When I got my iMac, it had 512 MB of RAM. That barely cut it for rendering video. Even with 512, it took over 2 hours to render just an hour of video. After that I got another 512 stick from Apple, and the rendering is real-time now. Also like myhighway suggested, the 3rd party RAM you put in there could be faulty, leaving your computer with just 512 MB of usefull RAM.
Hope this helps

My iPhone 3gs turns off randomly (applecare sent it back as it was!)
Hi, had my iPhone 3Gs 32GB Black since about August 2009. From the outset it has turned off randomly ever few days or so, usually when I am in the middle of a call. I tried resetting the phone. Removing all the apps. etc. etc. but no luck.I stuck with it thinking that the problem would go away or that some future software update would fix the issue but also no luck.
So I took it into Movistar (the dealer for the phone here in Spain) a couple of weeks ago and they duly sent it off to Applecare for repair. Apparently you cannot do that yourself, it has to go through the store.
Anyway, got the phone back today with a really shoddy looking photocopy from AppleCare Service in Cork (Ireleand) saying that " their technicians could not find any problem with the phone..." blah blah blah. and that the problem should fixed by reset!
So what do I do now. I know that if they have not actually found the fault then the issue will persists. The Movistar sales woman said to just bring it back in that case and they would send it off to Apple again (for another two weeks...).
Is there any way I can contact Apple CAre direct about this? Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers,
TonyThanks, but no Apple stores in Spain. Have to go through telco. Movistar. Will just send it back again for repair... see if they can fix it this time or give me a replacement.

My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!
1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise? The phone is slightly more than 2 years bought from singapore I live in India
Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you. -
Laptop turns off randomly when not plugged into charger
I have a 2013 Macbook Air and a few weeks ago, it started turning off randomly after a few minutes of use. It only works without turning off when it's plugged into the power.
I tried resetting the SMC various times, and the battery software update was not applicable to my device.
I'm not sure if it's a dead battery or not, because the device still charges.
I work for a magazine, and kinda need my laptop so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank youHey bbkae
Continue you troubleshooting with the article below to check the health of your battery. I would try to run hardware diagnostics on it to see if it passes the test.

Iphone 4 turns off randomly and unable to turn it on without charger
iphone 4 turns off randomly and unable to turn it on without connecting to charger or PC
Hey Tiffy6996!
I have an article here for you that describes this issue and can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
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.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
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 restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?
You might be right about the reheating. Get iStat Pro https://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
