Canon 60d keeps shutting itself off!!

I'm having a major issue with my Canon 60d and I'm hoping you can help me.
I'm shooting a documentary with many interviews. This **bleep** camera keeps shutting off. Not the 12 min shut off during video, it just keeps shutting off.
I read on blogs about the SD card not keeping up. I've used two cards: ScanDisk 32 mb class 10, and Transcend 32 mb class 10 and had the same issue. I'm shooting 1920x1080 24fps.
I'm thinking maybe the camera is getting hot? It will initially record fine for about 20 min's then shut off. Recoding again it shuts off after about 7 min. then 5 min, then 3 then continues at a lower and lower recording time until it shuts off around 30 seconds into recording.
I have found nothing online that will solve this problem.
I am interviewing many well know figures who have been around a long time and have great notoriety, and it's extremely embarrassing to have this happening. Not to mention not getting the information I need for the movie because of camera issues.
Please help!!!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Much gratitude,

It would be very unusual to not get the white and red icons. I suggest more experiments and you might try to reduce your resolution. Have you tried 720P? Also, 32 GB is a huge card size. (I know, I know, they are very cost effective.) You should try a smaller size card. Thirty minutes of 1080p movie should work out to about 2GB making a 32GB card capable of holding about 7 hours of footage.
I guess the bottom line is you should make certain that you don't need a second body to film your interviews; something I think you should seriously consider. One body could cool while the other shoots.
Good luck.

My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off...

Moderators, I really need your help.
My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off after my power supply got damaged (the cord was cut open and the two small cables were touching each other causing it to spark a little). Now I turn it on and just 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts itself off everytime. The media card is damaged too. Last night I charged its batteries and 5 minutes ago it was already drained. I dont want to lose my contacts, notes or BBM contacts.
Please at least help me diagnose the problem.

Hi dalstongirl
Have you already sent your BlackBerry in for service? If not, I would advise checking for any software updates by plugging in your BlackBerry to your PC and going to www.blackberry.com/update
Thanks

My iPad keeps shutting itself off during use. It does not matter is the battery is 100% charged or not. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

BRAND NEW i27 KEEPS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF

Just bought the latest and apparently greatest in iMac desktop computers and I am getting frustrated cause the bloody thing keeps shutting itself down.
It is the i27 with 16gb ram, the i7 3.4 quad core with 768gig Flash and the graphics upgrade to 2gig g-force gtx 680. We didnt mess around with "should we"
It will be fine when using it but when you walk away from it, the screen saver comes on and it eventually goes to sleep. Now this is pi55ing my wife off no end as she uses automatic programs on farmville etc. Even when its running, it still opts for Screen saver, and sleep. When she wakes it up, low and behold she logs in and her automatic programs have stopped and I get the old "come and fix this stupid thing"
I have turned off every automatic shutdown and screensaver option I can find.
Now
I am starting to get pi55ed off.
Anyone got any sugegstions?

So you've gone to system prefences, energy settings, and moved the computer sleep slider to never but it still goes to sleep?
You can open terminal and type pmset -g to verify your sleep setting is 0 and not a number like 15 or 30...
You can also download the app caffine from the Mac App Store. Install it and you'll get a coffee cup on the upper task bar. Click it and your iMac will never sleep for sure.

My ipod keeps shutting itself off

For example I am in shuffle and I will skip the song and it turns itself off.

New 5g Video Ipods should not restart/shut off when using a simple function as skip/next ~~ I found this glitch on the first day of owning mine and returned it IMMEDIATELY. Some people will suggest to you to RESTORE the ipod; don't bother, it will not fix the issue. Return it for another one. I got mine exchanged with no hassle.

Macbook keeps shutting itself off after upgrading to snow leopard

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me out as I am out of ideas! After be assured that I could upgrade my late 2006 intel based macbook (10.5.8) to snow leopard, I bought the disc and tried to install. Everytime I tried, it shut itself down. I wiped the hard drive clean and tried again. Still happened. Finally after 14 hours of attempts, something finally stuck and I had snow leopard. I then tried to get all the updates and it kept shutting down. I tried to migrate my files from time machine and it shut itself down. Fed up, I tried to go back to leopard, but the computer won't stay on long enough to complete this. I wiped the hard drive clean again and now it won't stay on long enough to get to the start up page! HELP! I tried starting up in safe mode and it won't work. I've run disc utility several times and it says everything is OK. Now I have a blank hard drive on a computer that won't stay on for more than 5 minutes. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I got to take it in to an apple specialist as the apple store has already told me the refuse to work on it because it is older than 5 years!!!!

Try a PRAM reset
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound two more times.
Release the keys.

Why does my Macbook Core 2 Duo 13" keep shutting itself off and/or repetively rebooting on its own?

My Macbook Core 2 Duo 13" won't stay on for any significant time anymore. When it does, it seems that the slightest movement, or pressing a key will shut it down or it just shuts down on its own. Or it reboots repetitively after chiming. Or it remains on as it is doing now for the last 30 minutes, long enough to see if it needed a firmware update. It's never on long enough to really use it anymore.
When there is no image on the screen, I often can hear the fan or drive running quietly in the background. I can turn it off by powering down with the button. Without the power cord, it will eventually drain the battery if I don't force shut it down.
I have verified that the hard drive is OK by removing it and mounting it externally.
I have been unable to do a hard system reboot (hold down powerbutton until system starts and continue to hold until tone) - no tone, just keeps rebooting.
When it stayed on long enough, I tried to install the firmware 1.1 update. Message was that it didn't need it.
I have tried removing one RAM card at a time ( it has 1GB + 512Mb). Haven't really noticed any change. "POST" message is OK when it starts
Any ideas? I've looked at all the "usual suspects". Thanks!

My Macbook Pro keeps shutting itself off... Why?

I am not sure what happened to it because nothing out of the ordinary has happened.. Just one day it started turning on and off.. and then finally it was permanently off. I took it to a battery store to get a new battery and light icon turned on as if macbook was about to turn on, but screen was black. I looked up online and i found a place that said to take battery out and with batter out hold power button down for 5 seconds. I did this and walah, laptop turned on for me like nothing had happened. I thought that I had solved my problem, but I was wrong. Earlier today, laptop shut down again and I once again had to take battery out and hold power button down.
Does anyone know why my MacBook is doing this? Is there something specific that I need to take it in for? It's so frustrating!

Yes. So a diagnosis can be performed so 1) you know exactly what is wrong with it instead of throwing parts at it and trying things that only solve the issue temporarily and 2) so you can get an estimate and get it fixed.

My iPod 5 keeps shutting itself off even though it is on the charger

First of all, my iPod can go from half full to 'only 20% left' and back. Super annoying but:
Even when my iPod 5 is low on battery and plugged in with an official charger, he still shuts himself down out of the blue and says that the battery is empty. Moments later when he is recharged again everything is fine and I can continue where I was. But still, this annoys the **** out of me...
It can't be charger because I just bought a new one after half a year because of the awesome quality..
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple but my iPod is not even a year old and this makes me very sad. 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.

IPhone 3G keeps shutting itself off

Randomly my iPhone will come up with the power off slider and cancel button at the bottom. I don't even have to be touching it at the time. If I don't catch it and hit cancel, it just goes to the apple logo. I reset the settings and also did a full restore but it is still happening. It also feels really warm. It started doing this after I was laying out the other day and it got a bit hot. I never got the temperature warning, will this go away or am I just kinda screwed?

mine is doing exactly the same ... did you find a solution?

Is the MIFI6620L supposed to shut itself off if you don't have a device using it and you are not currently charging it? I am having to push the on button to restart it everytime I want to use my computer or tablet. I don't want to leave it plugged in al

I have had the MIFI6620L for less than a week. It keeps shutting itself off, and I couldn't find any mention of this in the user manual. Perhaps it is a battery saving feature, and not a problem with the unit? This is happening after the battery is charged and I have the unit disconnected from the outlet. Thanks.

Yes that is correct. Jetpacks will power themselves down after a default amount of time to preserve battery life. This feature should only be happening when there is no activity on the Jetpack. If you have devices connected it should remain online.
As a Jetpack owner it is a good idea to build a habit of powering on and off your device on a regular basis. This will help you keep your Jetpacks connection to the towers fresh and less prone to disconnections. The best way to use a Jetpack is to power up, consume data and then power down until next time.

Satellite U400-14B shuts itself off and now it wont start up

Hi
just got a new Satellite U400 this week.
Was working perfectly the first few days, then last night, it just shuts itself off and now it wont start up.
I press the on button and the row of lights next to it light up, but nothing happens I dont even get as far as the Toshiba screen.
I have tried many things. I left it plugged in overnight, tried taking the battery out and no result as of now.
The little led lights on the bottom indicate that there its plugged in, the battery is white not orange, when pressed they all light up again only for a split second.
The only thing I can liken this too is when a car wont start and you keep turning and turning the key, well in this case pushing a button, and nothing happens, the fans dont whir or anything...
help please...

Hp laserjet p1102w networked printer shuts itself off

Hi, I have a networked (not wireless network) printer, which is plugged into a computer that is always on. However, it shuts itself off randomly, even though I have set it to never do so. This means that users must walk over, turn the printer on, and occasionally restart their computers before they are able to print, which sometimes causes them to lose work. Occasionally the users will also receive a message like:
The printer spooler on the server was not responding
Which means someone must reset the server spooler before it will print.
I have also set it to go into power-save mode at the longest interval, one hour, but it frequently goes to sleep within minutes of a print-job, often sparking the above issues.
If there is anything that I can do further to keep from forcing the users to constantly turn it on, or to keep from having to restart the spooler every day, that would be great.
I am working with machines using Windows 7 and 8, and with a Windows Server 2012.

I got to this screen by going to the web interface by typing the printer's IP address into a web-browser's address bar.
Sorry for the delayed response. I will do my best to assist you when I get home.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

IPhone keeps shutting itself down

I just updated my iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 . and ever since I have had this problem that my iPhone keeps shutting itself down and I have to hold the power and home button at the same time for it to be turned on. this happens 4 or 5 times a day. I'm really sick of it 'cause my alarms and my reminders don't beep when the iPhone is off. please help me. I want my Almighty iPhone back.

Hey there Legs8,
It sounds like your phone is repeatedly shutting down unexpectedly on you daily. I recommend these troubleshoting steps from the article named:
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
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
