Blackberry constantly rebooting/restarting

Hey!
Was just wondering if anyone could help me!
I have the Blackberry Curve 8520, and it constantly reboots/restarts. I've had my phone just over six months.
I went into an Orange store last weekend and was told if I updated the software, this would sort it, but unfortunatly it hasn't.
Thank-you in advance!

Thank you for your post.
I am in Ontario, Canada.
I found a solution.
I turned off receiving notification of a new voicemail, via voicemail settings when I call voicemail. Then I allowed the battery to fully drain. I recharged the battery and restarted the phone.
It works perfectly now. Yahoo!! I still see a message that I missed a call, so I know to check my voicemail.

IPad mini rebooting/restarting constantly

i have a first gen iPad mini and it constantly reboot/restarts.
ive done all of the restarts/recoveruse, still no fix.
is this a hardware issue, and can not be fixed?
is the only fix, is to buy a new iPad?
we do not have an Apple Store anywhere close to my location.
any input would be appreciated.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Aging Mac Pro constantly rebooting

My aging early 2008 Mac Pro is constantly rebooting, almost always when I'm away from the computer. When it reboots, I have to reset audio, which has defaulted to my MOTU Audio Express. The Mac Pro is exhibiting other odd symptoms: Occasionally, upon resumption from inactivity, the keyboard and mouse will have quit working. The Bluetooth Apple Magic Pad continues to function. A restart is the only fix. Also, occasionally, the Mac Pro will refuse to wake from sleep. Sometimes I must do a forced restart to get out of that. Other times, it will wake up on its own after a period of about 30 seconds.
It also seems to go into a harder sleep — rather than the monitors just lighting up as they usually do, it will hesitate a moment and the fans will cycle up loudly.
I was having similar issues months ago. I installed an SSD drive about six months ago, did a clean system install and migrated files over, and everything was working smoothly until the last week or so, and all the problems have resurfaced, with a vengeance. I reinstalled Mountain Lion, but that didn't help. I've considered another clean install or a Time Machine recovery from a month ago, but I really don't want to have to go through that every six months.
Any ideas? I'm half considering buying a new Mac Mini and using the pro as a file server or something.
Here is a copy of the report I get after the machine reboots.

Do you have TRIM Enabler? what SSD? how much free space? Have you ever done a secure erase and restore on the SSD? When you repair, are you booting from ML Recovery or from a full working system, a clone of your current system?
You might want a small 100GB volume somewhere with another clean install of ML 10.8.3 and with TRIM Enabler - I use my TimeMachine drive which has 800GB free. Also a 60GB sparse disk image of the SSD.
Putting your SSD on a PCIe 6G controller can help, though some have been known to cause corruption.
Repairing only touches the directory so it doesn't tell you if the entire file structure is okay.
A Safe Boot after repair is a good idea to do, then restart again.
How much faith do you have in the 8800GT? think it is time to replace and upgrade to a newer card, from Apple ATI 5770 or higher end AMD 7950 Mac Edition even.
Do you monitor system temps with something? how old are those FBDIMMs? Are they running 65* or less?
You should really have a clone and do a restore every 3 months or so. No need for TimeMachine method. Takes under an hour. And of course all your data is not on the SSD (well, the home library should which is ~/Library where all mail and web and prefs are stored. But all data is not on SSD at all.

No reason or need for a Mini. Unless you want. Should be fine, though the 3,1's have been the most tempermental with Mountain Lion up until 10.8.3. And you might regret moving to mini if a new Mac Pro were to come out.

Macbook Air constantly rebooting after installing Mavericks... this was my fix

Just in case this helps anyone.
I installed Mavericks on my Mac without an issue. When it restarted, my Mac would constantly reboot after a few minutes. It didn't matter if I logged in or not. I tried the various things that have been suggested (reset NVRAM, CMOS, running a disk check) but nothing help. If I booted into safe mode, I would not have any problems.
The issue ended up being some systems extensions in my /System/Library/Extensions folder. I had installed and deleted Trend Micro Smart Surfing a while ago by using the manual uninstall (move the application to the trash) which leaves the system extensions it had added intact (there was a Trend Micro folder in /System/Library/Extensions).
I reinstalled the software and then used the uninstaller that came with the program and after I rebooted, everything worked fine. I checked the /System/Library/Extensions folder and could see that the Trend Micro folder had been removed by the uninstaller.
I would suggest looking at the /System/Library/Extensions folder and comparing to what is in the applications folder. If you something in the extensions folder but not in the application one, you might be having the same type of issue that I was having.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
We understand your situation is urgent to you...but please understand that this is a volunteer-contributed user-to-user community. No one is paid to participate here, but rather does so out of the kindness of their heart. As such, it is customary to wait 24 hours before "bumping" your thread to try and re-gain attention.
Nevertheless...from what you describe, this is a problem with WhatsApp itself...and you would need to contact the developer for support of their app.
But, have you tried the basics yet? As in, removing, rebooting, and reinstalling the app?
Good luck and let us know!

Constantly Rebooting every few mins

Hey, my device is constantly rebooting every few mins.
I bought it from ebay classed as 'spares or repairs', and the post stated that it was not receiving signal and stays on "searching...". no big deal as i only wanted it for a cheap ipod for my younger brother.
is there any way i can stop it from doing this rebooting thingy? i've tried the method of turning on 3g then restarting the phone then inputting a sim but that hasn't fixed it :/
any and all help is much appericated

This kind of crash is usually or always caused by a memory fault. If you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original ones and see whether there's an improvement.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
You can try reinstalling the OS, but most likely there will be no change.
Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the crash, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.

IBook G4 constantly rebooting

My iBook G4 is constantly rebooting from start up but not booting as far as a login window.
From the grey screen with the apple and 'wait' icons, the screen goes black and then reboots again...and goes black and reboots again. And so on....
I've now taken the battery out to avoid a fire hazard.
Steps taken:
*PRAM reset
*Reset the Power Management Unit
*iBook Hardware Test (all OK)
*boot from start up disk - only takes me OSX installation
*Disk Doctor - Ran repairs and verifications successfully
Is it dead?

When you booted the computer from the OSX installer disc,
did you use the options in the menubar to run Disk Utility?
You can try to repair disk from there, and then restart.
Also, you may be able to attempt an Erase and Install
or an Archive and Install. If the contents of the hard disk
drive are corrupted, an all new system on a completely
wiped hard drive (HDD) may be an answer. Using the
Disk Utility in the OSX installer, you should also be
able to see if the SMART status of the HDD is OK.
There could be a corruption on the startup sequence
in the hard disk drive, or the drive itself may be defective.
Other things could be defective, but troubleshooting and
hoping to narrow the field one step at a time is helpful.
You can also use the booted installer's Disk Utility and
choose an option to write zeros or low-level format the
hard disk drive; then format it in HFS+, and install anew.

Ipad is not being recognized by Windows..I get a Code 43 error on any USB port I try. I have rebooted, restarted, blah blah til I am blue in the face. This is an Ipad not an Ipad2...I can't get this thing recognized by either my desktop or laptop. It used to work...not now.
Any ideas?

Crashes/reboots/restarts while on sleep

This thread is exclusive to people who have spontaneous crashes/reboots/restarts while their Mac is in sleep. (this is usually connected to having a USB external hard drive plugged in the computer while on sleep)
In simple words, you are experiencing this problem:
1) You put your Mac to sleep
2) You return to it after some time and you find it on.
3) On screen you find this error message "Your computer restarted because of a problem." or similar, and in the report of the error message the Event is "Sleep Wake Failure" or similar.
If your Mac does not wake from sleep this is NOT the thread for you, please don’t write here.
If your Mac is experiencing black screens and freezes while waking up from sleep this is NOT the thread for you, please don’t write here.

Please answer this questions carefully. If we get enough people to answer, I will personally slap this thread on the face of every Apple employee I can find, so they will have to stop saying "we never heard of this issue" and we can get a quick fix or a quick replacement if this is indeed an hardware issue.

<Email Edited by Host>

1. Which Mac do you have? (If you have this issue with multiple machines, list them here)
Macbook Pro Retina late 2013. 512Gb SSD, 16Gb RAM, 2.3Ghz core i7 with discrete GPU.
2. When did the problem start? If you had Mountain Lion installed on this machine, did the problem start when you updated to Mavericks?
I purchased a 4TB WD MyBook and split it into two partitions with one of them being used for Time Machine. After that, I received the reboots during sleep.
The computer came preinstalled with Mavericks.
3. Did you have your Mac replaced from Apple because of this issue? If yes, does the new machine still have the problem?
No, I haven't had it replaced. I contacted Apple 4 days after the problem started. I had turned off PowerNap, but still had the problem. Apples asked me to disable Wake for Wi-Fi Network Access, and since doing that the problem has disappeared.
4. Does your machine crash/reboot while on sleep only if you have an external hard drive connected?
Yes (before I turned off PowerNap and Wake for Wi-Fi)
5. Does your machine crash/reboot even if you uncheck "Enable Power Nap" in Preferences, Energy Saver? (before answering this, check that you have updated OS X to 10.9.1 and that you have unchecked Power Nap in both the Battery and Power Adapter tabs in Energy Saver)
I have to have both PowerNap and Wake for WiFi disabled. If either is checked, the computer reboots. I've confirmed this with both 10.9 and 10.9.1.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS
6. Do you have an external hard drive connected via USB? If yes, write the manufacturer name and model name of the drive. (example: Western Digital My Book)
Yes. Western Digital My Book 4TB. Split into 2 partitions.
7. Do you have a network connected drive? (like Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to an AirPort Extreme, or a NAS)
No.
8. Do you have Time Machine Enabled?
Yes.
9. Do you have Crashplan installed?
No.
10. How much time does it usually take for the first crash/reboot to happen, after you put the computer on sleep?
4 hours. Checking the console log, my computer wakes itself at 2 hours for Time Machine (even if PowerNap is turned off, which is why Wake for Wi-Fi needed to be disabled, even the drive wasn't connected over the network, which really makes no sense) and then on the second wake, it has the Sleep Wake failure. Then it proceeds to reboot every 2 hours after when it wakes for Time Machine.
11. If you have a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina, do you have discrete graphics in it? (In other words: do you have an NVIDIA GPU? If you don't know this, go into the menu bar, click the apple icon, click About This Mac, Click More Info, in Graphics you should find written “NVIDIA GeForce”.)
Yes.

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own. Is anyone else having this problem? And could it indeed be caused by Firefox?

Do you have any security software that may undo changes and restore a previous setup?

Mac Mini reboots restarts upon wake from sleep

Since 'upgrading' from Lion to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mini reboots (Restarts) whenever I wake it from sleep. I've applied every update hoping it will be fixed. Apple has been unable to resolve the issue short of their standard suggestion to reformat and reinstall from scratch. I've had to resort to disabling the energy saver.
A Google search turns up many similar complaints. Anyone have a fix or suggestion?
Thanks

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem i fear as per my separate post

My BlackBerry Torch 9860 restarted itself

my BlackBerry Torch 9860 restarted itself and restarts again and loops again cant start the phone at all. Pls help! Urgent! What could be wrong? OS 7?? I think it may have some problem... I need help!!

Dear Fisol,
Thank you for your swift reply. I hope that my service centre would give me an immediate solution rather than awaiting 30 working days and being given a new one. I am EXTREMELY frustrated and disappointed by the symptoms my phone have may stem from poor quality assurance after phones fabrication.
Regards,
Leung

Intel-based PC constantly rebooting after Service Pack 3 install

I know many of people were having this problem, but since my PC doesn't have an AMD processor, I'm not sure what to do.
My PC is an HP Pavilion with an Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. I don't exactly know the model number and since I'm away from home I can't look at it right now.
I installed Service Pack 3 the other day and I'm getting the common error where the computer is constantly rebooting. I'm hesitant to do what the following link suggests since it seems to be only applicable to AMD computers:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01457284
I can't boot in Safe Mode nor the last known working configuration. I don't have the recovery disks and I don't have a copy of XP for reformatting either. I figure my answer is in the Recovery Console?
Since I can't post from home this'll be a slow process. What should I do? Thank for reading!

Try altering the Windows registry key as follows. Once it is completed then once again begin installation of SP3:
1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter.
2. Navigate to
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup
3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value
4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\”
This should help. Try installing SP3 and should work fine.
