IPad keeps shutting off

My iPad 2 keeps shutting off and returning to sleep mode while I'm using it.  This happens frequently.  I reset it using the home button and restored it using itunes but nothing has changed.  What might be causing this issue

Sounds definitely odd, worst case scenario you can call AppleCare and ask for a one time exception if you havent called before!
They may have some more ideas.
Not 100% knowledgable in iPad but I do suggest giving them a call.

  • My ipad keeps shutting off and cannot restart immediately

    please help, my ipad keeps shutting off for no reason and will not come back on again unti it is ready.  at least 5 times now very frustrating.
    any suggestions?

    Damien.
    First, try to do a full backup—reset—restore of your iPad via iTunes. (a) Plug in and, if it doen't start automatically, run iTunes, (b) back up your iPad, (c) do a total reset, (d) restore this last backup.
    If this is enough, just go ahead and do it.
    Otherwise, do like me — dummy — and read the excerpt from Apple's KB below:

    (...)  You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    --- Unquote
    If this does not work, (and probably won't, but it's a 5-minute operation), then you should seek hardware assistance. If it's a brand (or almost) new iPad, go back to the shop and they will give you a new one, without much trouble... It use to happen with iPods and exchanging the product was routine in this shutoff—restart issue.

  • I downloaded ios last update and my ipad keeps shutting off

    I downloaded the most recent update and my ipad keeps shutting down while in use

    If an Apple Store couldn't do anything about it, what did they suggest or what did they say about the iPad? Did they restore your backup, or just restore to factory settings without restoring the backup?

  • After upgrading to 7.04 my ipad keeps shutting off too often, why?

    (A) Reset iPad

  • My IPad keeps shutting off/restarting by itself.

    I Have the IPad Air, it isn't even a year old yet and it keeps shutting down by itself. when it turns back on it says mist enter code after iPad restarted. I'm not undertsanding why this is happening, I have the latest software update and I sync my device weekly. I want to solve this before my warrenty is up at Christmas time because these are not pocket change priced devices, if anyone can please help or direct me where to go it would be greatly appreciated. Also this problem occurs at least 2-5 times a week!

    I think you should try to reset your iPad first to see whether it can be fixed automatically or not. Next, if it still does not work, bring it to a local Apple Store. If it is the hardware problem, Apple will replace it with a new one for you since warranty hasn't expired yet.

  • Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
    That being said, try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

    My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

    Is this with the power adaptor that was included with your iPad 2 purchase?
    The same power adaptor and USB dock connector cable charges your husband's iPad?
    If so, sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Have you tried powering the iPad off and on and/or a reset which is similar to a computer restart?
    If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • I have a ipod nano shuffle, 6th gen.  I bought it when I had Windows Vista.  I upgraded to Windows Ultimate 7.  Now it keeps shutting off.  Have to press power button and touch arrow to restart.  3 to 4 times a song.  I ran diagnostics.  Passed until end.

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • Why does my AirPort Extreme keep shutting off?

    My AirPort Extreme keeps shutting off randomly can any one help?
    -thanks

    More experience leads me to believe the problem is with the new iMac.  If I get the network going by turning AirPort Extreme power off, then on, I see a good signal at my iMac. Experience shows the network drops off after several hours. But yesterday I turned the iMac off, and the network remainded up (I could see it on my iPhone and iPad) throughout the night.  That's the first time that has happened since I got the new iMac.  Never had this issue with the old machine. I transferred all file to the new machine from a Time Machine backup that was up-to-date.  Am working with Apple support. They had me do a re-boot of the AirPort and will call back tomorrow AM to learn it did not solve the problem, but turning off the iMac does.  Darn.

  • My iPad keeps shutting down out of all apps.

    My iPad keeps shutting down out of all apps.  If on FB, camera, messages, etc.  It will just go to a black screen and then back to desk top.  Could it have a virus, what should I do?

    Hi iPaduser58,
    If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPad:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Restarting your iOS device
    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPad using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPad first.

  • Apps keep shutting off

    My apps keep shutting off when I am using them

    Quit/close all apps completely and restart the iPad. If this helps, make note of the app that you last launched if the iPad crashes again and assume that app is the culprit causing the crashes.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    You can also try rebooting the iPad and see if that helps. 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.
