Has your first generation iPad ever just shut down and turn back on by itself?

I have just created a new iPad name and account, changing from the previous owner.  After synching and completing the thing, it now shuts off and on at will, therefore making it impossible to use it. Any ideas?

No sim card means just that. THere's either no sim card in your iPad or the iPad can't see it. Try turning your 3G antenna off. I believe it's under settings.
You can also give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that clears up the glitch.

    Ipad will just shut down and will not reboot until it is plugged in. Any suggestions??

    I'm going to guess that your battery isnt just dead?

    If it won't hold a charge, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My w-fi connection keeps shutting down and turning back on, every few seconds.  I don't know what the issue could be? Any suggestions?

    The past few days my wi-fi on my iPad has been shutting off and turning back on.  This has not been the case with any other Apple product I own.  I tried resetting the wi-fi settings already and it didn't work.  Does any have any suggestions?

    Well, i kinda follow your advice... but I went to the repair guy first. I asked him what did he repaired on my compter : he told me he did all the tests and follow the protocol, and that my computer was fine. Nothing was wrong with it. Yeah, right.
    So I called back Apple. That was such a waste of time ! They told me to send it in repair AGAIN. I told them that the only repair center in my town cannot find the problem. They told me to go and make it repair at another center, in another town. The nearest is one hour away. I don't have a car. I don't have time. How am I supposed to get there ? "find a friend with a car", she replied.
    The girl was realy stupid. Am i gonna waste time going twice to a repair center 1 hour away from home ? Come on... She refused to send me a box to ship it to them for repair. She just kept on telling me i need to get it repair, again and again. She was a waste of time. She wanted me to go back to the repair center that cannot find the problem or pay like 200 $ to get on a bus with my computer and waste 2 days on the road.
    I send it back to the repair center in my town this morning. And tomorrow, I'll just go to FutureShop and buy myself the cheapest PC i can find, because i NEED a computer for all my exams and my presentations. And when i'll get my macbook back, i'll juste leave it running on the self and hope it will fail again as soon as possible so I can recall them and listen to them tell me to send it back again in repair... and waste again, more and more time on a computer that never worked good.
    This is realy getting ridiculous... They realy don't care at all. They just want me to shut up and get used to it... I just can't wait to see what the repair guy will tell me...

  • Airport turns off - must shut down and turn back on

    Hi. I am wondering if anybody else is having a similar problem with their late 2008 MacBook aluminum. In the last few weeks I have found that Airport on the MacBook will not turn on. This usually happens when I start the computer. Airport does not start up. I can click the Turn Airport On from the drop down menu as much as I want, and the command is ignored. I must shutdown the MacBook and restart it. That usually fixes the problem.
    My router is an Airport Extreme which I purchased in April of 2007.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    One of the Apple software updates has apparently fixed this problem.

  • My screen just shut down and it wont turn on

    My screen just shut down & wont turn back on What can i do?

    What happens if you try a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  You may need to attempt this more than once. 
    Otherwise, connect it to an external power source and leave it to charge for a little while and then try a reset again if necessary.

  • Ipad 2 just shuts down

    If you restored the device and you still get this, you probably need to get Apple involved. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and let them take a look at your iPad.
    Did you drop the iPad, have some sort of accident with it?

  • My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again?

    My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again....what can I do?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes charging before it responds) then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot, just flashing apple logo

    my iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot and just flashes the apple logo. Can anyone help?

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not work, see if you can connect in recovery mode, explained in this aricle:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • My iphone just shut down and i cannot get it started again

    my iphone just shut down and i cannot get it started again

    Hey Barry,
    It really depends on the circumstances.  If you haven't powered your phone off yourself for quite some time, sometimes kinks can just happen and this sounds like one of them.  Every so often on mine I will have to use this method but it is in the very minority of occasions.

  • My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • HT1222 I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • When I try to calibrate my iPod nano after a run it just shuts down and restarts. Whats happening?

    After I run (iin basic mode) I try to calibrate. (I've done this a few times before).
    Lately when I do/try this the iPod just shut down and restarts.
    I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes to no help.
    It's a 6th generation nano coupled to a nike sensor.
    Any help would be much apreciated.

    As a test to determine if it is nike sensor only issue run once without the sensor. Use the inbuilt accelerometer to complete a run and calibrate it.
