  • Why cant i restore my iphone and why does it keep turning off and on by itself

    hello all
    i just would like to know why my phone keeps turning off and on by itself
    and why i cant i restore it on itunes
    many thanks
    al

    What worked for me, is going to the camera app, switch to video, turn on flash, and record.  Let the phone record for about 10 minutes.  (your phone will probably keep reseting itself) but that is okay, let it reset, and go back the the camera app and repeat.  what you are supposed to do is let the phone sit there and wait for the back to feel sort of hot. stop recording at about 8 minutes and plug your phone into itunes, it should be charging, and once you do so you can then set your phone into DFU mode.  This might not help you, or it will.  I just fixed my iphone today, that had the same problem as you.  so keep trying and it will come back to normal again!  Cheers!

    My iPad is not charging when I pluged in and its keep turning off and on (it just shows the apple logo). I even changed the charger so what else can I do to start my iPad?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

    My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
    A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
    Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
    Help?

    Hey,
    Thanks but all ready tried that.
    I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

  • IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

    iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

    Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
    Follow these steps:
    iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
    If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

  • Why does my ipod nano keep turning off

    Hello

    What do you mean it keeps turning off?
    Perhaps it's an issue with the headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones.  If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

  • Why does my ipod randomly keep turning off

    my ipod keeps turning off and automacticly turning back on i have just synced it with itunes.
    when im on my ipod when i enter a app it randomly goes back to the home screen it aslo painfully slow
    i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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 it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

    My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

    If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

    So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
    I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
    The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

    Hi GreeD28,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
    If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    This image means that your device is charging.
    It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
    If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off.

    Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off, has 5%  last time had 18% battery and says connect to power, comes straight on with 18% still!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
