Ipad mini unable to shut down

my ipad mini is unable to shut down, nor can I get a message closed from the home screen

Try to reset the iPad:
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Ipad mini keeps unexpectedly shutting down

New (two months) ipad mini is constantly shutting down and reverting to black screen while in use; is also frequently dropping wi-fi connection. The problem doesn't seem connected to a specific app or function, and other ipads in the house don't have the same shut down/wi-fi connection problem. Any tips?

Then there is a bigger glitch. Your only other option seems to be restoring your iPad.

I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

Help, my mini REFUSES to shut down/restart

Hey guys.
I'm looking for some help figuring out what is making my mini hang on shut down.
My icons all dissappear and then I just see the osx backdrop. From there the system refuses to take any keyboard input, though I can move the mouse around. It will just stay there untill I hold the back power button down long enough to force a shutdown. When I reboot it says osx shut down unexpectedly. I try to look at the log by clicking on that option but the log never shows up. My mini is two weeks old and running Tiger.
Thanks for any help,
Kal

All the icons dissappear but the normal apple backscreen stays. It never gets to a black screen. No the pinwheel is not spinning. I no longer have any usb devices plugged in. I have a g4 1.42 mac mini. I did not import any data from a previous system.
I have tried to reinstall osx but due to it not being able to restart it will not complete he install. I have left it on the screen for hours to see if anything would happen, but nothing.
I think I may just return it and get another. It just seems too new to be having such a problem. I have put very little software on and it is all mainstream software that should have no problems.
Thanks for the help guys. If there is anything you guys can think of that
I may do please let me know.

We are fellow users here on these forums, as far as I know Apple haven't said. If you want that feature then you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Why does my iPad email app keep shutting down?

I just purchased my iPad 2 3G last week, so I am a new iPad/Apple user. I really like the product and now wonder why I have stayed loyal to the Windows PC for so long. I'm still looking for some of those useful PC keys and keystroke shortcuts that I am so accustomed to, but I am adapting.
My iPad mail app keeps shutting down on me, whether I am typing a message or just reviewing/managing my mail. I use a bluetooth keyboard, so it is not a matter of me bumping the touch screen that is causing the app to close.
I have lost a lot of important business emails while composing them and eventually stopped using my iPad to compose email.
Is there a setting controlling this or is it a program glitch?
Thanks.

Pam-
It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left. In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

My mac mini will not shut down. I need to manually shut it off with the power button.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

No, but you do at least have to buy Snow Leopard. Whether you can run it depends on what iMac you have:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

HT1338 Unable to shut down - won't close down system preferences

Unable to shut down - won't allow me to close down system preferences

Hello jdreed3,
The error message you are receiving is usually because of a failing hard drive. Can you go into the BIOS and run hard drive tests?
Here is a similar thread in regards to the same issue where the user discovered it was indeed the hard drive that has fried that has been giving him the issues.

Unable to shut down imac. dialogue - The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running?

I have an iMac (Mid 2007) Intel with Mac OS Lion 10.7.4 For some reason I am unable to shut down my computer. The dialogue box says The Finder can’t quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running? I have no clue? Obviously not a sophisticated user.

Thank You! Solved my problem. Have a great week.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
