You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Why does my iPad (3rd Gen.) keep turning itself on and off?

I currently have my 3rd generation iPad plugged into the wall charger. It has been plugged in since yesterday morning and is still going through the same routine: on, off, on, off...HELP! I have tried to reset it, but it won't respond; the screen just keeps going black (with Apple logo) as soon as it turns on enough to get to the lock screen. Also, it will immediately become unresponsive when I unplug it from the charger.

I would think that you either have a charger problem or a something inside your iPad (battery, perhaps). I suggest you take it in for diagnosis.

My ipad 2 keeps turning itself on and off, why?

Alright, so I finally decided to update my ipad. I went to settings, pressed update and the ipad screen told me to connect it to itunes. I connected it to itunes, and it said i had to restore my system. It supposedly updated, but while it was restoring, I accidently took the usb off. Ever since then my ipad has been forever turning on and off, starting with the black screen, brightening up showing the apple sign, and back to the black screen again in a never ending cycle. I've tried taking it off regularly and it fails to work. I've tried plugging it back into my computer and itunes, and it doesnt show up there for some apparent reason. The only reason I could get it to stop is when I hold down the power and home button together, and it turns off. Whenever i plug it back into anything, as in the wall charger or computer, it then again repeats its never ending cycle. Can someone please help me out? I've had this ipad for about 5 months now, and have never experienced a problem like this.
Thanks.

Try turning off the iphone by tolding the sleep button and slide to power off. Then turn it on again by holding the said button. Sounds like a glitch and the iphone needs a revamping.

IPhone 3GS randomly turns itself on and off, even when charging

My iPhone 3GS 8GB keeps turning itself on and off randomly like every 5 minutes. It does this even when charging. I've had my phone for a year and haven't had any real problems out of it until now. It died on me last night so I plugged it into my charger. It came on then 5 mins later went off by itself and turned back on. It did this all night. I finally unplugged it to see if that had something to do with it, but it didn't. Anyone have any insight on this or ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

my does the same mate i have tried everything

Hi altofts,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can try resetting and restoring your iPod nano to see if that helps with the restart loop:

I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off

I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off.

Same problem. Phone was unusable. I managed to turn airplane mode on during one of the phone's "on" moments. It went off once more but then came back on and stayed on long enough to back up and restore via iTunes. As I don't rely on the phone to retain photos, contacts or mail etc I chose to do a complete restore and treat it as a new phone. I did this just to make it as clean a restore as possible but you may be able to restore from your backup and get the same fix? All is good still some 24 hours later. Hope this helps.

I need to change my Apple ID on I loud on my iPad but it won't let me without my password and it was somehow changed. How do I change it on my iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

I'm trying to update my iPad but it's telling me to not enought storage and saids manage storage I do that but no change

I'm trying to update my iPad but it's telling me not enough space manage storage I think I'm doing it wrong because it's not changing

Open the Settings app & select General. How much Available space do you have?
You may have to delete some files (videos) to obtain more space.

HT1430 I am trying to reset my iPad to erase the passcode. Someone changed my passcode and I have not been able to access my iPad for more than 15 hours

I have tried resetting the iPad and trying to delete the iPad. It showed up as not being connected to the internet because the iPad was inactive. I connected it directly to my router but I think because the iPad says it is inactive it doesn't allow it to connect to the internet so that I can erase it.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

TS3988 I just got the Iphone 5 s and i am trying to download my stuff but it won't let me access the term and conditions-the new ones. the message says unable to connect to server. I have wi fi.

My iphone 5 will not let me connect to the server to accept the new terms and conditions for i cloud. Help. It is brand new.

Hi there KaseyStafford,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I tried to restore my ipad but all i have got is the itunes logo and cable and it wont restore with an error saying 1604

Major help please.
Bought my ipad yesterday and the sync all worked fine. I needed to wipe it which worked but now it wont restore and the ipad wont go past the itunes logo with the connecting wire on the front screen and when it sometimes does, after the restore there is an error (1604)
stressing.
help would be much appreciated.

CT782-
How long did you wait? It might just take a while.
Could the computer's USB port have gone to sleep? I would try disconnecting the iPad and reconnecting it, to see if that is what iTunes is waiting for.
If there is another USB port, try that one too.

Why does my Verizon Iphone 5 personal hotspot sometimes not work? I have to keep turning it on and off for it to come up. This is a problem that I am having when connecting to a computer PC and MAC and a Ipod Touch and my Ipad.

This issue is making me start to think that I have a defective peice of equipment. It seems as though i have to restart the hotspot multiple times for it to work and when it does work it drops the device after being tether to it, and then I have to start the whole process over again.

I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!! The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

I'm trying to authorize my computer but it won't work, I'm signed in and I have only three computers logged in, any help?

How do i authorize my computer when its already signed in?!

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
