  • My ipad air keeps restarting and closing apps plus it wont connect to itunes when i want to do a full restore

    i have just bought a ipad air 2 weeks ago from a tmobile store and the day i got it, it started turning off which i though was normal since it was the first day and my second device so i had it the first week went by and it continued to happen after that it got more serious and i got made i took it back to tmobile they said to take it to apple and i did inboca raton the people there are nice but what ever they did only stoped it from happening for a while i came back the same week a day later saying i contined to happen and they said did u delete the apps and i told the person i had no apps on thier he/she was supprised and said if he could run a web search and a dianositcs report i said sure he didnt find anything wrong but it turning off on the apps i also know that the device (ipad air) should have a good amount of memmory and that the main reason it turns off is because it has a 64 bit prossessor with a 1GB Ram so i turns off but their is a way to make it work fluentlly without turning off you have to connect it to iyunes on a PC or MAC and restore your device so that it repairs itself after that u have to manually redownlaod all the apps again and not use icloud to back up when u are done redownlaoding then u have to backup and then hopefully it will work fine but i cant connect to itunes so i later retuned that same day trying that and told him/her that it didnt work and the idea that i tried and he/she said that he can replace it if i brought the box so i said no i didnt bring it please fin a solution so i can connect to itunes its only 2 weeks old and i dont want a new one so fast

    When my phone crashed for the first time I noticed that the ios update 6 was on my phone and i updated it at that moment... it still continues to not work... i now have a grey screen saying activation request could not be completed. if problem persists contact customer care.  I cannot get to the home screen or any of my settings.   I have been trying to contact but i think i was to late and to early this morning to reach anyone. 
    When i connect my ipnone to itunes there is no music, no apps, no photos, no updates or any thing that I can see..... it says that softwware version 5.1... does that mean that my phone did not update ios 6?
    I can't get to any options or different screens on my phone either, just the grey screen i spoke about before.....
    you spoke of downloading from apple directly does that mean on my iphone or my computer? 
    thanks:)

    Have you try a reset?
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • My iPhone4 keeps restarting and now I can't even restore it. HELP!

    My 2 month old iPhone4 keeps restarting and after trying to restore it its absolutely useless becauseit wont stay on long enough to restore. My entire business is on this phone and I would really prefer to not have to send it back to Apple.

    I have a similar issue with my iPhone 4.  Tell me:  Have you been able to solve your problem yet? 
    If yes, then please share!  I have a short term solution and a long-term one for you if not, and I am at the point of going to my long-term solution.  So I, too, am all ears.  If you haven't resolved the problem yet, then here is...
    The short term solution:  Force your iPhone into Recovery Mode (also known as DFU mode) by following Apple's instructions here, in the case that you are "unable to update or restore the iPhone's iOS".  Following the instructions on that page may fix your problem right then and there.  However, if you continue to have problems (like getting it out of DFU mode, as I have had with this fast-auto-restart problem), then it may not fix the problem.  In which case, here's what to do:  Download a free program called RecBoot for Windows or Mac.  Once installed, follow the directions for its use on that page.  If the phone is in Recovery Mode (DFU mode), Recboot will tell you, and pressing one of RecBoot's two buttons will take it out of DFU mode.  If the phone is NOT in DFU Mode, RecBoot will likewise tell you -- and the other button will place it IN DFU mode.  I recall bouncing it between in and out of DFU mode (as a last resort) when I tried a complete factory restore and the phone kept restarting itself mid-restore.  RecBoot was the one thing that finally got the phone's attention, and enabled the thing to accept a restore.  I've needed RecBoot ever since -- upgrading to iOS 5, then 5.0.1, then 5.0.2...
    A few things I've noticed about my issue:  I still have the auto-restart problem, but for a while it started following a rule:  It would only auto-restart repeatedly (and relentlessly) when the phone was charging and turned off (i.e. asleep -- not powered completely down).  After a few months, the problem has evolved: The phone behaves itself when it is turned on, charging or not -- but turned off, the phone manically enters the restarting-every-few-minutes loop.  Whether it's on a charging cable or not:  If it's off, it puts itself back in the loop.  Then, the other day, the problem showed signs of morphing again: restarting in the middle of listening to a podcast -- not every 3-5 minutes, but sporadically -- and the phone was turned on.  That was indeed the last straw for me.  Which leads me to...
    The long-term solution: I am led to believe that the problem may involve a faulty battery, or an element on the Logic Board.  I recently had a battery replaced in my phone, and I am questioning the replacement.  However, I am taking my phone in to an Apple Store.  Last time I took my iPhone in (with a warranty issue under the AppleCare Plan I ALWAYS get), they replaced the phone on the spot.  So if you can make your way to an Apple Store, the chances are good that at least you shouldn't have to wait for days to get a replacement.

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
    Try this first -  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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘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.

  • My iPad mini keeps restarting randomly all the time

    My iPad mini keeps restarting randomly all the time, I already restored it to manufacturer settings, help! This started about a week ago, and I can't take it to Apple because I got this Christmas 2012. I already reset it all, and it still keeps restarting.

    I had the same problem.  I ended up restoring to the factory settings using the method:
    1. connect usb to computer
    2. hold down home button and connect cord to ipad...continue holding down home key until connect to itunes appears on screen, then release
    3. restore to factory settings
    I lost all my pictures and data, but the ipad works again. Such a pain! Not happy about this at all!

  • IPad 2 keeps restarting nonstop

    My iPad 2 keeps restarting nonstop. It has been doing it for 12 hours now. I have tried the hold the two buttons down thing. I have tried plugging it in to my computer but it keeps restarting in iTunes and doesn't let me access the device. I have tried the holding the home button and plugging it in. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do or if I should call it a lose and head over to the apple store today.

    Can you power it down by pressing and holding the power button?
    If you can do that, then plug the usb cord that came with the device into the usb port on your pc. (leave other end not connected).
    Open itunes, update itunes
    Press and hold down home button on ipad while at the same time connect usb cord. Do not let go of home button until you see a message pop up in itunes window: "itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode......"
    You should now be able to restore (all data will be lost)
    You may have to do this a few time to get it into recovery mode.

  • My ipad 2 keep restarting everytime i use it

    My iPad 2 keeps restarting with the apple logo. Then when i get to the lock screen, it restarts again and again.

    Hello there, Timmy1998.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues when iOS is not functioning as expected. When performing Step 1, I would recommend closing all apps:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    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 there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • HT4623 my ipad 1 keep restarting every 3 min

    my ipad 1 keep restarting every 3 min

    Hello there, afu7830.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro

  • ITunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences

    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences every time its shut down and re-opened, how can I stop this?
    All of the music (etc) is still there but I need to agree to the terms and condition of the 'Software License Agreement for iTunes for Windows' every time I open iTunes.
    Once opened there is no personal set-up, such as side menus and how the lists are set-up (e.g showing album images, music listed in ‘most played’ order,etc etc) I know how to re-do all of my settings, Its just getting very annoying now.
    Anyone know how to stop this or at least why It is doing it?

    I found why it defaults back to the wizard. I noticed in  C:/users/(User)/AppData/Roaming/Apple  Computer/iTunes/iTunesPerfs.xml file is deleted from this directory upon  exiting iTunes. When I manully restore this file itunes starts with my  correct settings. Why the .xml file being deleted I don't know. iTunes is deleting the file when you exit so I guess there is just a bug.
