Click the Wi-Fi icon in your Mac's menu bar.
If it looks like this, it's off:
Click it and select Turn Wi-Fi On.
If it looks like this, it's already on but something else is wrong:
If it looks like something else, describe it or post a screenshot.

My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

Why does my iPod keep turning off by itself

why does my ipod touch keep turning off by itself?

Is it running hot? There are thermal limits that will shut it down.
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
THANKS!!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

I have a new MacBook Air which keeps turning off by itself and now won't turn on at all...

It's been working fine since I've had it but yesterday it kept turning off by itself and then within minutes off turning it back on it would do it again. Also the little box kept popping up asking if I wanted to sleep, restart etc as if I had pressed the power button. I tried to turn it off completely and now it won't turn back on at all. If I plug the charger in the green light comes on but nothing happens on the actual MacBook itself. What do i do ?

My ipad 2. Keeps turning off by itself

While using the ipad 2 , it periodically goes to a black screen , and the slide to unlock pops up?????

Completely shutting off and you have to restart it? Or is it crashing when launching apps?
Does the battery have a full charge and if it indicates that the battery is fully charged maybe there is a problem with the charger (assuming you use the power adapter and plug into a all socket - don't plug into your computer) and you could try another power adapter and/or the cable?
You can try resetting the iPad and closing all apps and restarting.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If the behavior continues, you may want to consider restoring the device.

My apple iPhone 4s keeps turning off

My iPhone 4S keeps turning off when its not in use. Every time it turns off, it has full battery power and it does not turn on by simply pressing the power button, I always have to press both the power button and the home button for like 4 seconds so that it turns on again. Can somebody help me figure out what the problem might be?

Did you try to restore it? If not, then do it first. If it doesn't work, then I guess it may be a problem with an iPhone itself. Anyway, your problem is strange, I have to say... Especially if it comes to the way you turn an iPhone on again. I still believe it should be a problem with a system, because that's what an iPhone needs to know how to turn on. If it turns on only in that untypical way, then I honestly guess that something is wrong with an iOS you have on your iPhone. Maybe try to reinstal it.

My phone turn off by itself

i have nokia lumia 620 and it keep turn off by itself , i want to know the causes and solutions
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Worn out / Faulty or Badly Cut Micro SIM - Get a new SIM preferably a ready Micro SIM and not one that was cut from a regular SIM.
2. Loose Battery Fitting - Put a paper packing
Other than these, it may be due to Software / Hardware issues. For the Software issues..you may try a Full Reset after backing up your data...and for any Hardware issue, you need to visit Nokia Care.

Stratosphere turns off by itself

My Stratosphere keeps turning off by itself. Sometimes it is random, and sometimes when I close the keyboard.
This is my third stratosphere, and I keep getting power issues.
What is the answer...is it the battery, the phone, or what?

Good morning Compliance-
I can see this getting quite frustrating, quite quickly. When the device turns off, does it stay off or can you power it on right away like normal? If its happened with multiple devices, its could be caused by a corrupt application, or more likely a bad battery. Has the battery ever been replaced? I look forward to your reply.
Thanks,
