Ipad Air Turns Off

I have an iPad Air that I purchased last weekend.  I also bought the smartcase.   I noticed that when I closed the case and went to bed.  The next morning, I could not get the iPad Air to start.  I ended up having to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds before the apple logo would appear.  And then I could procede after typing in my passcode.    The next day, I noticed this happed after less than a hour of activity when the case was closed.   Why does the unit shut off?  Under general settings I have auto-lock set to "Never" and Passcode Lock set to "After 5 minutes".   The passcode lock seems to work fine when I am actively using it.
My apple store is an hour away so I would hate to bring it back, if I am doing something wrong. I am a new iPad user.

Hey there biskets,
It sounds like your iPad is turning off unexpectedly and the Apple symbol has some graphics issues. I would start by resetting the iPad:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:

And restore it from your backup with this article:

    Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.

  • I have locked myself out of my iPad and can not restore unless I go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone, how do I sort this out?

    After installing iOS7  I was prompted to make a passcode, I did so and stupidly forgot and now continually am disabling my iPad, ways in which I have read you can sort this is restoring your iPad, however I can not restore without iTunes telling me I need to go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone! How else can I sort this? It is logged into my apple account and everything! This is an iPad 2 also ASAP help!!

    Hello shanefox,
    This can be done by logging in at iCloud.com and removing your device via the Find My iPhone web interface.

  • Macbook air turned off without warning?

    Hi! Last night my macbook air turned off without warning and wouldn't turn back on until I tried again this morning. A few weeks ago I had my battery and logic board replaced and since then it the screen has gone blue for a few seconds and then back to normal a few times, (in case this is related at all). Is there something I should do to make sure this doesn't happen again.

    As you say it is just been repaired I would take it back to the place that repaired it and ask them to look at it.

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 5 very closely.

  • Ipad 2 turned off with 18% power left, won't come back on

    Our Ipad 2 turned off last week with 18% power left. To help narrow the solution down, I will try my best to give you the various things we have tried to get it back up. First, Itunes will not show the device unless you put it into DFU mode. It has been put into DFU mode a couple times now to get itunes to recognize the device. It pops up that we have a device in recovery mode and when we go to restore it pops up that an unexpected problem has occured ( 1602). I have tried on a couple different computers ,different ports, and different USB cables with no luck. It will get to verifying restore with apple but then the error pops up. I have tried to uninstall then reinstall itunes both with the cables still attached and unattached. Itunes still won't show the device until you DFU it. I did notice that the apple is supposed to show up on the screen and it does not. Even the router was reset in hopes that this could possibly be the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Mac air turning off after starting

    Mac air turning off after starting

    Hello
    Did you check the power saver settings?
    Push he first slider far to the right up to never so that your Mac Mini never stops.
    Also untick the suspend hard drive activity as soon as possible to avoid lag on your Minecraft server.
    Best wishes

  • Ipad keeps turning off and no sound

    ipad keeps turning off apps and going back to main screen.  the volume is turned up but no sound

    For the apps crashing try this ....Reboot 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.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My Ipad keeps turning off what can I do?

    My Ipad keeps turn off what can I do ?

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until you see the Apple Logo show up on the screen. This is a Reset. See if that helps. Also, make sure it's charged up :-)

  • My iPad has turned off and i can't turn it on again

    My iPad has turned off and i can't turn it on again even when I click on the turn on bottom and the iPad is charged

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Help, my ipad wont turn off and the screen is blank with the circle that goes around and around. Should i let the battery die? Was I hacked?

    Help! My ipad wont turn off and wont open a screen. Just blank with the circle going round and around. was I hacked? Should I let the battery die? I am lame at this stuff.

  • Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
    This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
    Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
    Let us know what happens.

  • My ipad is turning off randomly in the middle of me doing something

    so my ipad 3 is randomly turning off in the middle of me playing apps and it would go frozen and completely turn off and then it wont turn back on again for another 10minutes and its not battery power beacuse it has 63% battery left so please help me because i have to use this ipad for school next year and school isin 2 days

    Well, it seems that I have a similar problem. New mid-2012 MB Air that works perfectly, but for no reason will just go black. The behavior is different from the description above, in that it goes to sleep and can be awakened. No flashing.
    I thought that it would be something with the power management and hot corners. I changed all of those settings, but the problem persists. Any ideas out there?
