Ipad 2 frequently shutting down

Hi. I'm fairly new to iPads, and have an iPad 2 that is out of warranty.
I am experiencing issues whereby quite frequently when either starting up or changing applications the iPad shuts down. The screen goes black, and then the apple icon appears and the unit seems to reboot after a while. When the unit is working normally, the battery life seems fine, but when it resets it seems to burn a load of battery power and quite often needs to be plugged in to restart and then to recharge.
Has anyone experienced this issue before?
Is it a battery issue that would be fixed with a replacement battery? Or is it something more major?
I'm using iOS 7.0.4, but this problem has been going on for quite a while.
I would be grateful of any advice. thank you.

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. 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.
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.

Frequent shut down on Facebook app using iPad?? 5.1.1

Frequent shut down while on Facebook, posting comments and more frequent while upload pictures, reviewing pictures or watching streaming videos... Does anyone knows why, since I can't get any Apple support, they all moved to MARS??

This was/is a common occurrence with the older Facebook app running in iOS 5. The new app running in iOS 6 crashes rarely.
When Facebook does quit don't restart it immediately. Actually quit the app first like this. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately.

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately. Even while surfing net also it happens. Earlier I thought it may be due to any software/game which is not compatible. But it happens during surfing net on Safri. No option to move back to iOS 7.

Hi BalajiPrusty,
If your iPad shuts down intermittently, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting - note: the article is for iPhones but this section is relevant to iPads as well.
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 using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Battery doesn't charge AND frequent shut down when only on AC power

Hello all,
I've spent some time browsing and searching this forum to avoid asking a question that has already been answered but I haven't seen a complete answer to this situation so here goes.
I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 model 0768DKU. Battery (P/N 92P1185) started not charging/not holding a change about 6-8 months ago AND the laptop now abruptly shuts down even when on AC power. From the forum I found out about the 18 month battery replacement policy but I'm just a few months past the 18 months so out of luck there. Normally I would just buy a new battery but the last few months I've been getting very frequent shut downs when the laptop is exclusively on AC power even with the battery removed! This has kept me from buying a battery because the laptop won't stay on even when it's plugged into the wall then how will a battery help?
This has really thrown me for a loop since the laptop may run 30 minutes then it's dead like you pulled the power cord. Turn it back on maybe 10 minutes then dead, or 5 minutes then dead repeat over and over.
Steps I've taken since browsing the forums:
Virus scans/spyware are clean
Used compressed air on the fan vent to remove a little dust, opened up and sprayed out dust nothing major.
Speedfan is reporting cpu temperatures of 65C to 69C at 99% idle.
Reseated memory
Questions:
Would a new battery potentially solve this problem? I'm not sure how since it shuts down even with the battery removed and only the power cord plugged in.
Bad AC adapter?
Thermal problem? It looks like the cpu is still below temperature ranges based on Intel but it sure seem like a thermal problem to me the way it shuts down. I'm trying some new thermal grease tonight but not sure if that will realy make a difference.
Any suggestions, I'd hate for it to be motherboard, etc.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere I've seen all the battery posts but not how the battery would address the fact the laptop shuts down even when on AC power with or without the battery installed.
Thanks,
Chad

Hard reset didn't work for me either, thanks for the tip it was worth a shot.
Thermal paste kept temps lower around 45C still suddenly shut off like usual while on AC power. 3, 5, minutes, etc. Doesn't appear to be thermal.
Could the "bad" battery somehow be messing up the power circuit and cutting off. Looks like the battery problem with these units is huge wish I'd been looking earlier since I was within the extended 18 month period at the time. Just want to hear that someone bought a battery and it fixed the problem....

That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

What do you mean by "shutting down"?
Have your Reset it? Restored it from your backup? Restored it as a new device?

Ipad will just shut down and not power back on until it is plugged in

Ipad will just shut down and will not reboot until it is plugged in. Any suggestions??

I'm going to guess that your battery isnt just dead?
Have you tried a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
If it won't hold a charge, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

Why does my ipad air keep shutting down

Why does my new ipad air keep shutting down?

No one here can answer that. Try a reset (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis.

Ipad 2 just shuts down

If you restored the device and you still get this, you probably need to get Apple involved. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and let them take a look at your iPad.
Did you drop the iPad, have some sort of accident with it?

My iPad mini keeps shutting down.

Ever since we got a new modem, new router and new ISP, my iPad mini keeps shutting down, and disconnecting from the internet. When it disconnects, if I go to settings and try to re-connect, it just shuts down. This happens quite often...every ten or fifteen minutes. Our other iPad is fine. Once when we re-booted the router, I was fine for a whole day. I tried that again today, but it didn't help.

Hey Thifobia,
I see that your iPad is unexpectedly powering off while you are using it. Here is an article for you that addresses this issue and has some troubleshooting suggestions:
