Having to power down and do a restart too often with my iPhone 5.

In the eight months I have had my iPhone 5 I have had to power down and do a restart six times to resolve a repetetive problem.  The problem becomes apparent when the phone loses its keypad touch sounds and the alarm app I use fails to go off in the morning. There are  probably other things happening as well, but these two are what I first notice and prompt me to do the restart.  The restart solves the problem but my question is why is this happening in the first place and is there a fix for it?  In the two+ years I had my iPhone 4 nothing like this ever happened.  I do leave the phone on all the time 24-7. 

Try a reset:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account.  Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account.  Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

    After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account.  Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account.  Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).  Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software.  I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required.  I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator.   I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
    Any suggestions?  Any thoughts?  Much appreciate any help you might offer.

  • My iPad will not power down.  It automatically restarts and drains the battery because it is on all the time.

    My IPad will not power down and stay off.  It powers down and then restarts after a few seconds.  Since it is on all of the time, it drains the battery between uses.

    Then I think it is time to take to an Apple store to be checked. Make an appointment at your closest store. You can keep it plugged in to maintain the battery until you get it checked.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT4061 My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    Put it in a bag of rice or silica gel. Leave it there for a week. Do NOT attempt to power it on or charge it before the end of the week.
    If it still doesn't work after that, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.

    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

  • My computer randomly shuts down and won't restart.

    My computer randomly shut down and would not restart. I took it to an apple store and they fixed it by running something through the disk utility. I was told to run something else (it had to do with what the computer does when it shuts down as I don't shut mine down a lot). It had been running when the guy showed me it at the upper right corner and said "initializing" but I did not remember what it was called when I got home and it was no longer open. Any one have a similar problem where this was suggested and remembers what is it called?

    Try a SMC reset.

  • My mail application was working fine, I shut down and when I restarted it is asking me to set it up again. I dont want to loose any information on my mail and I had a lot of accounts on it. . what can I do?

    My mail application was working fine, I shut down and when I restarted it is asking me to set it up again. I dont want to loose any information on my mail and I had a lot of accounts on it. . what can I do?

    I found all my files from my old account in the users folder but when I logged out there was no option to sign in on the old account, I'm guessing ill just have to start from scratch, which is fine as long as my old files aren't lost :) thanks for the help.
    I'll explore more once I get my screen fixed and there might be a way to recover my old account :)

  • Just got a 'Mozilla' security alert on the PC, and something started a system scan.. IS THIS A TROGAN ATTACK ? I forced power down and system restore before coming here

    Repeat. Just got a 'Mozilla' security alert on the PC, and something started a system scan.. IS THIS A TROJAN ATTACK ? I forced a power down and did system restore before coming here. I will run Ccleaner when I leave this site.
    I have NEVER seen any Mozilla alert or mention of any system scan from Firefox. I have seen Trojan Hijacks, and deal with friends PC's for them, this looked similar.

    See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Rogue_security_software
    No, Firefox does not have built-in anti-virus feature, so your description can be correct. You may wish to try this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/

  • HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

    So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

    Welcome!
    Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
    If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    Two possible solutions on the power cord
    ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
    AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
    If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:
    AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup Guide v4.2 (Manual)
