IPad mini switches itself off during game

Hi
Have recently bought a new iPad mini for my son.
He thinks its great and really enjoys it.
However whilst he is playing games such as angry bird etc etc the iPad switches itself off and returns to main menu !!!!
Is there a fault with the iPad or is there something I need to change in settings ???
Would greatly appreciate some help please

hi there,
I started this original discussion and I have got to say that after upgrading it with the latest software available online, the problem has not occured as many times anymore. However, I still believe that the battery life of the nokia n95 is rubbish and I am seriously considering writing to Nokia to complain as the provider Vodafone is useless.
In the mean time, I have had another problem occuring which is that the screen freezes itself out of nowhere and you have got to switch the phone on and off to get it to operate again.
I am very disappointed with this phone bearing in mind that I was one of the first to have this phone and it went on sale for £500.

I like to watch tvcatchup or sky go or I player on my iPad while falling asleep, the problem is that the iPad then stays on all night. I would like to find an app that allows me to set a timer for the iPad to switch itself off automatically.

Does such an app exist? Can anyone help me? Thanks

You can try the Sleep Timer.

My iPad keeps shutting itself off during use. It does not matter is the battery is 100% charged or not. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

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

ICloud drive keeps switching itself off on my iPad 2

I have a MBP and an iMac = both on Yosemite and both working with iCloud drive OK.
But I cannot get this to work on iPad 2 with IOS 8 - with either Pages or Keynote. It keeps telling me to set up iCloud - which I do as per instructions - but it sends me round in the same circles!
This is driving me crazy and has wasted hours! I have signed in and out of iCloud several times and enabled iCloud Drive. Then also down to Pages app and checked on for 'use iCloud' Somehow - this switches itself off again after a few seconds! How does this happen?
Why does it not stay on????????
While it is 'on' - Every time I try to use the Pages app I cannot see my iCloud drive documents - and when I try and save it then tells me to set up iCloud!
This is useless to me if it will not work as advertised!

I suggest that you do a update or reinstall of the phone software via the Update Service program. www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice
Hopefully will that solve your problem.
If you get the option to update I suggest that you select to update and also factory reset the phone.
If you only get the option to reinstall you already have the latest version, this will automatically result in a master reset too.

My iPad switches itself off when I'm on the Internet help

When I'm using my iPad on the net it switches itself off and I'm having to turn it back on again and out in my password I only want to use it properly

Hi Lisah,
It sounds like you may have some corrupted files in the operating system -- when built-in apps and features like Camera and Siri malfunction, corrupted files are often the culprit. There are a few things you can do to fix this -- first thing I'd recommend would be to back up your device to make sure you have all of your current data and settings saved. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
After backing up your data, try resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset. Try the camera and charger again to see if you still see the same strange behavior. If so, there's likely a corrupted file in the iOS installation. It's pretty easy to reinstall the operating system files to fix this -- you will need a computer with internet access. Follow the steps in Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support to completely reinstall the iOS files and get a fresh, clean installation.
After using iTunes to restore the phone, go through the setup assistant on the phone and choose the option to Set up as a new iPhone. Set it up as new and test the camera again -- if it works this time, that's a good sign! After making sure it works properly, you can restore from the backup that created before doing all of the resets and restores. This will bring your content and settings back to the phone.
Good luck!

just regular FireWire cable (6-6 pin) - when you use target mode, computer acts as if it was external hard drive and supposed to show up on another Mac's desktop as a drive - you could use Disk Utility on another Mac and format the PowerBoook.
if there is some hardware problem though, sometimes target mode won't work.
also, maybe try some other OS disc just in case your OS CD is defective somehow.

IPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game screen locked up. Can not close or shut off.

iPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game the screen locked up. I can't exit out or shut off. What do I do?

If you ahven't already done so then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I updated ios7 on my ipad it switched itself on and when comeon the screen had itunes sighn on it with a usb sign underneath now cant do anything on it

i updated ios7 on my ipad mini and it switched itself off and when come back on the screen had the itunes sighn and usb lead sighn underneath now i cant do anything on

That indicates that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you will need to do as the image shows and connect it to your computer's iTunes, you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.

My G5 keeps switching itself off

I switch it on and then after about 3-5 mins it switches itself off.
What gives?
Andy

Look at Applications>Console and check your System log to see if there are any notations about shutting down after exceeding maximum temperatures. You might also like to run Apple Hardware Test to see if there are any problems with your power supply unit. If you have the first G5 model, the Rev A, you can check the LEDs http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908.

IMac switches itself off (Shutdown).

Hi all,
I have an annoying problem. Every time I turn on my iMac, it switches itself off.
I don't know what it is, it doesn't do it all the time, but when it switches itself off and then I turn it back on again, it doesn't happen again. But when I shut it down for the day and then when I switch it back on on the next day, it does the same thing again.
Has anyone had this problem?If so, how do you fix it?
Thanks
Wintoons

I had that same issue happen to a 20 inch iMac G5 I owned a few years ago. It would turn off just like you are saying and it turned out to be a bad video inverter.
Now I'm no expert, and this may not be your specific problem, but it sounds just like what was wrong with mine and when they changed the Video Inverter it never did it again. Maybe ask AppleCare if you still have it hopefully, if that could be the issue.
Have you run or even been able to keep it on long enough to run the Hardware Test disc and see what that tells you. There's a quick one and a longer more thorough test, i would try that one and see what it tells you.
Hope you get it fixed and figure it out. We love our Macs don't we?! Lol. I can't go a day without enjoying mine!

HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
