Hour Long Shut off

Hi guys, My Blackberry has been ruining my life recently in that it spontaneously shuts down, and takes nearly an hour to reboot. This means that I am left without my phone at what are often critical junctures of the day, and I am screwed. Essentially, the phone shuts off for about 5 seconds, turns to a blank white screen for 20 seconds, then goes to the verizon wireless boot screen with the hourglass for upwards to an hour. My model is 8703e, Verizon Wireless. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated... This has been extremely frustrating. Is this a software problem? Hardware? Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks in advance

I have A pearl 8130 and mine shuts off or goes blank also at the worst times but comes back on but every time I touch any key the scree goes black. After a few seconds it comes back and works fine. Very frustrating.

IPod no longer shuts off

Hey folks,
I've had my iPod (the 30GB video) for a month or so, and things have been awesome overall with it. Just today, however, my iPod stopped recognizing the command to turn off (holding down the play/pause button). I've checked to make sure it's not on hold and that the play/pause button works in general. If anyone has had a similar issue or knows of any potential fix, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

try reseting your iPod and then trying to turn it off.
also, wait until the backlight turns off, and then try to turn it off.

Intel iMac shutting off suddenly, not coming back for hours

Hello,
Last night my iMac suddenly shut off; I tried for about twenty minutes to turn it back on (I tried the power button, unplugging and replugging, changing outlets...), then gave up. This morning I tried it and it worked just fine, but after several hours it shut off again. That was about three hours ago and it hasn't come back yet. Curiously it shut off right before iSight was going to snap a picture in Photo Booth, and I just can't remember if that's when it happened last night too...
Any help?

Sounds like an overheating problem. You could try to reset the SMC and see if that helps, if not it probably needs to go to the shop.
Here is a link to how to reset the SMC on a new Mac

Hello everybody. After Mavericks reinstall, my shut off time is longer than it was.

Hello. About a week ago I reinstalled the Mavericks, prior I use to have 2-3 seconds shut off time, I have now 12 seconds. I am using now OS X 10.9.2 version, Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15. The reason why I made the reinstall: I didnt knew that in order to use win 7 I dont have to install it via Boot Camp. After I have installed win 7 via Boot Camp I also installed Parallels version 9, used it in trial mode, worked awesome. Meanwhile I wanted to make free the partition that Ive used for win 7 via Boot Camp (70 gb), because Ive realized that it is not needed for me to run win 7. Stupid me, I didnt delete it via Boot Camp, bottom line is that I was not able to delete it at all, Ive tried from recovery mode, disk manager, was not able to delete the partition. At the moment I still had a very good shut off time, about 2-3 seconds, everything was ok despite of the fact that I was not able to access the 70 gb. I have now a boot time of 11-12 seconds, not bad but this time was also shorter prior reinstall. Ive dowwnload the OS X from apple store, made a bootable usb drive using DiskMakerX. Booting from this usb drive I was able finally to erase the entire drive and made the reinstall. I am using now parallels version 8 instead of 9, because I had an activation key for version 8, works fine. So, I would say that my longer shut off time is not affected by me using parallels 8. I tried to repair the disk from recovery mode, didnt changed my shut off time, made the smc reset and also made pram reset. Nothing helped. What is there to do, how can I have the same very short shut off time? I rarely turn off the mac, but still this is very annoying. Thank you for reading, waiting for ideas and advices.

Not sure but it looks like Mavericks writes a lot more info on shutdown than the older Mac OS X versions were doing. With some more apps it has more to keep track of and setup for restart.
With the Windows material, the system could also be trying to track that info in a different way now. It is always very complex when there are different OSs and partitions to track.
After it settles down for a few days, you might want to look at your setup and see if you need to do some houskeeping chores...but definitely not with cleaning software as that causes all kinds of problems. Just look at the cleaning tasks you can do with Mac OS X itself to organize and remove cookies, etc.

Can't shut off my iPad2 (reboots instead)

ever since the 5.1.1 "upgrade" my iPad has had several issues. A big one is that I can no longer shut off my iPad. Whenever I try to power it off it just reboots. I have probably done 50 hard reboots fixing several issues (volume only works about 50% of time as well). Any suggestions?

I'm having a similar issue. However, my iPad 2 will stay off if power is supplied to it (either the wall charger or trickle charge from my laptop).
If I cut off supply of power, the iPad 2 immediately powers on.
And I've tried the home/sleep button combo and factory restoring (several times). Nothing resolved the issue. The battery seems fine as I'm getting 8+ hours of use.
Any assistance is appreciated.

HT202157 Shutting off Apple TV after software update

I just updated the software on my 2nd generation Apple TV to 5.1 (5201) and can no longer shut off the Apple TV using my remote like I could in the past. Any ideas? Thanks.

NM John, not me! I only purchased my ATV on the weekend, and had no idea (thanks for not putting it in the instructions Apple) that you could use a button.
Glad to help out.

I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

The other day, i was using my iphone 3gs 32gb to take pictures, thenit just shut off, the battery wa around 70-80%. Now it shuts down randomly as long as the screen is unlocked, there will be a chance it will shut off. I have tried draining and charging,

Hi everyone,
I was playing games on my 3gs the other day and then it shut off randomly and the screen slowly faded away the battery was at about 70%
now it will just turn off randomly without warning unless plug into a power source and wont turn on after shutting off unless plugged in
I have tried restoring it, putting it in a dehumidifier and also charging overnight
I have tried to drain the battery but it wont work because it will shut down whilst i am draining the battery
One time today i turned it off and left it for a few hours, the battery was 89% but when i turned it back on a few hours late it showed the plug into power sign
It charged to about 33% and then a few mins later it went up to 100%
Could this be a battey percentage sensor problem?
It anyone has an idea of what might be going on please tell me, it would be greatly apreciated
Also: i am on ios 5.1.1 and NOT jailbroken
Thanks

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes. Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store. Nothing works. This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
See deadtimecapsule.org
The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
But it is well and truly time to replace.

Mail went all weird; only date showed as "12/30/00" and and hour later it shut off.

okay so today my cousin told me that at 11:00 today she downloaded 2 apps: twitter and a weemee one. she was playing on normal apps after the 2 downloaded adn her ipod just randomly shut off. she thought it needed to chargfe, so she plugged it in. for the rest of the day it did not turn on and gave the apple logo. shes tried to reset it, but it hasnt worked. ive come to the conclusion that this theapps werent the problem, because me and her sister both have the same apps. my cousin who has the issue has a 3rd generation ipod touch. and she also stated the apps werernt the problem because approximately an hour before she downloaded the apps, her emails got wacked. when she clicked on the email app, it only showed a peculiar date: 12/31/00 and nothing else. she plugged it into a laptop when she got home, and it asked her if she wanted to update it, however it would lose her data. she clicked yes anyways, not sure what it had to do. she found ou that it lost all of her data, songs, apps and everything, and replaced it with the ipod 4th generation starter apps (facetime, camera, game center, etc.) and she cant use them because she doesnt have the 4th generation ipod.? howand why did this happen and how can yopu resolve it ASAP? thanks. all answers appreciated:)

Previous Shutdown Cause: -74
A negative shutdown code, if it happens repeatedly, may indicate a hardware problem. If it happens only once, the cause is uncertain. The precise meaning of the codes is not publicly documented.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

Perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this doesn't help, connect the phone to the charger and leave it for about 30 minutes and see if it comes on. If not, while it is connected try the reset I described first.

Macbook Pro suddenly shuts off. screen goes black and won't turn off till after a few hours.

Hi everyone!
So I've had this problem from my macbook since months ago. It sometimes just shuts off by itself, the screen turning black and won't turn on until like after a few hours (sometimes a day, but sometimes you could also immediately open it just like that.)
When it shuts off and you plug the adapter it is still charging, the lights on the side of the macbook book still lights up just fine if you press the button on the side. the only problem is that it wont open until after a few minutes, hours or days (very unpredictable) (also tapping the macbook helps, I dont know if it "really" helps or not, but it works sometimes.) But when it open it will be working fine until another couple of weeks or 3 or a month (again unpredictable)
I dont know what's wrong with my laptop, please help me. It would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much in advance!

Hold the power button down for 10+ seconds. Then bring the MBP to an Apple store for an evaluation.
Ciao.
