Fourth generation iPad keeps restarting itself randomly

My brand new fourth generation iPad (Wi-Fi+Cellular, 32 GB) keeps restarting itself randomly. I did the iTunes restoring procedure 2 times, the second one I also delete completely everything from the device before, in order to install the iOS 6.1 on a surely "new" device. I also avoided the iCloud synchronization and just download a casual app in order to test the problem. The iPad restarts again and again. Any suggestion? Anyone had the same problem here? Please share your experience.
Tomorrow I'll have an appointment with the Genius Bar. Hope it would be useful.

TY Mark, hope they would really help me and not just give me a factory refurbished unit.
I paid full price for a new one so i should get a new one. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service, not jokes.
Anyone knows something about the causes of this behaviour?

In the two days since updating to iOS8 my iPad has restart itself randomly 5 times. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there is an update coming out to fix it.

Hi DSfromMO2,
I have this happening to me too... it is frustrating enough for me to pitch my computer out the 4th floor office window. I found somewhere on these forums a solution which worked for me, but only for a short time. I'm back to having this stupid glitch. Anyway, the "temporary" solution seems to be to boot into Safe Mode by holding the Shift button down when you hear the startup chime, then let go when you see the Apple logo on the screen. You'll see you've done it right because it'll say Safe Mode somewhere on screen (upper right hand corner?). Restart again normally and your Mail should be free from these weird demons, but they'll be back.

Why does my iPad keep restarting itself?

I recently updated to IOS 8.1 on my iPad mini a couple days ago(clearly a huge mistake), and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. How can I prevent this from happening?

Adding into my post, is there anything that is possibly causing it to do this?

My iPad keeps restarting itself.

I turn my iPad 3 on, it shows me the apple logo and then starts to restart itself and does that over and over again. It never ends.

DFU Mode or Recovery Mode? There is a bit of a difference. Try Recovery Mode. Try it a few times if you need to do so. Disable your firewall and antivirus software as well when you attempt this.
If this still doesn't work, it's time to head to an Apple Store and ask for help.
Recovery Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Why does my iPad keep restarting at midnight?

My iPad keeps restarting itself at midnight. It doesn't matter what program is running.

Hey terrieil,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPad is restarting while you are using it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support

Have a good one,

My iPod keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! Whats going on?!

My iPod Classic 5th generation 30GB keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! I recently restored it (which helped with another problem), and I put all of my songs back onto it, but then when I went to go play a song, it just restarted itself! So I tried again, and it just did it again. No matter what song I choose, it will restart itself. So I went onto the support site and it told me to try toggling the hold switch a few times and then hold the menu and center buttons together to restart it. I did this and I thought it was going to work (I got it to play 3 songs!!), but then again...it restarts itself. I have to repeat this everytime I want to listen to a song, and even then it's not guaranteed to work. Needless to say, I'm getting a little frustrated! Any solutions?! PLEASE HELP!!! I need my music

See Corrupt iPod classic.
If the device's database is stored somewhere that cannot be reliably read back then it appears as an empty device.

Ever since I updated my ipad to ios 7.0.6 it keeps restarting itself throughout the day, It switches off and then the apple logo appears but then it goes off again and the apple logo comes back on, it can do this four or five times before it comes back on properly. I got it for Christmas 2012 and it's worked fine I"ve had no problems with it up till now.

Hello there, mummyshipmunk.
You may want to try restoring your iPad to see if it will resolve this issue. The following Knowledge Base article outlines that procedure, and it can be found right here:

Mac mini keeps restarting itself....

Hi,
I've just bought a refurb mac mini. The problem is it keeps restarting itself every so often. I've read a post from about a month or so ago saying that it could be something to do with RAM. Can anyone confirm that? I was just wondering if there was anything I could try before having to take it back the the apple store.
Thanks x
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There are a number of possible causes of random restarts, but RAM is certainly one of the more common ones.
Given that the unit has just been purchased, I would return it rather than try and effect a resolution yourself, particularly since many of the potential fixes involve opening the system up, and the common causes would indicate that the system had previously been worked on.

IPad keeps restarting

I've had my iPad for less than two months and it keeps restarting itself when I'm on it. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening or will I need to take it in to an Apple store?

Try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

If still no luck, take it to the Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it checked.

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Looking forward for your response!
This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
