HT1689 My iPad turns itself off. It comes back on but it is irritating when reading

My iPad turns itself off -- at odd times. Sometimes it goes hours and then it will turn off three or four times in a row. It is not full of files - of 28g it still has 8 g available. What am I doing wrong?

Try the basic:
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(C) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
(D) Restore iPad
1. Connect your device to your iTune (computer).
2. Select your iPad when it appears in iTunes.
3. Select the Summary tab.
4. Click the Restore button.
Note: Data will be lost

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

My Ipad turned itself off for no reason and I can't turn it on. Not even when I'm charging it. What can I do??

Reboot the computer then try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode.

N8 Turned itself off & wont go back on

Ok so I'm on handset no 3 which I received yest (17th jan) & tonight it turned itself off & I cant get it back on.
Does anyone know how 2 get it started or how many handsets I have to go through to gvet a diff make?
cheers susan

The N8 is a fine handset and you have been unlucky from the sound of things
There is no way to get it to restart immidiatly if its the power management problem
When I had the issue I made the following observations
The phone would restart if left alone for a while
Constantly trying to restart it only increases the recovery time, (It's like there is a clock in there that wont let you boot the phone until it runs down and attempting to start before then only resets it to the beginning)
Leave the phone in a cool dry place for at least 30 mins, better yet an hour, then try to start it
(Cooling the phone appears to improve the time taken before it boots) However do not put it in a fridge or freezer, this can lead to condensation forming inside the phone which may void the warenty

TS3274 IPad turns itself off when I'm viewing pages

Something new that I haven't seen before is a Debug Console and it will tell me I have messages. When I click on the messages there are HTML, JavaScript or CSS error messages. Is this something new? What is causing the errors. Would this explain why the iPad shuts itself down when I am viewing pages?

Without examples to try out here, there are some basic troubleshooting tips you should try.
1. Restart the ipad. Hold the top button till you see the swipe to turn off, swipe to turn the iPad off and then restart.
2. If a restart doesn't fix things, try a reboot by holding the top and home buttons simultaneously until you see the apple logo.
3. Try a different wifi network. You may be having issues with your connection.
4. Go to Settings -> Safari and clear the history and cookies and data. Also open the Advanced section and make sure Web Inspector is turned OFF.
5. If these steps don't fix the issue, you may need to do a restore using a computer with iTunes installed.

Iphone 4 turned itself off and will not turn on

does anyone know of a way to get phone that has turned itself off to come back on?

Charge it, then try to turn it on. If it still shows no sign of life, hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds until it comes to life. If it still doesn't come to life, take it in to the Apple Store and have it looked at.

I pod touch turns off. sometimes comes back on after several hours but keeps doing it again a day later.

Is the battery fully draining and is that why it is turning off?
Otherwise try the standard fixes:
- Reset,. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPad 1: Failed sync then it turned itself off/can't switch back on

I tried to sync my iPad 1 in iTunes but got a message saying it wasn't possible (I've synced on this computer many times before and my iPad was working fine before). Then my iPad turned itself off. I've tried charging etc but can't turn it back on.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPad bluetooth with iOS7 turns itself off randomly

I have an iPad 2. I recently downloaded iOS7. I use a Logitech bluetooth keyboard. I want my bluetooth to stay on constantly. Twice now the bluetooth turned itself off for no apparent reason. Each time I've turned it back on. As of right now, it is still on.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know a fix?

Hi Ann5408!
I have an article here for you that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue with your Bluetooth connections:

My iphone keeps crashing and turning itself off.....even though battery life is fine...as soon as i plug charger in it comes bcak on....help very frustrating...3g

absolutely that is frustrating. if the battery life is fine there could be two things software or hardware. to find out if your back up your information in itunes and import pictures and then restore the phone as NEW then you can test it out. if it is still shutting off it is hardware related

If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.
