IPad starts (only the logo shows up) but shuts down after approximately 10 secs.

My iPad turns on, the apple shows up and shuts down immediatly afterwards. It does the same thing on and on until the battery runs out. I've tried everything written on the net and on your site (recovory mode etc..). Help anyone? Thank you !

Help!
My powerbook starts fine boots the system. gets as
far as when the system shows the right hand dropdown
menus then blacks out. some times the screen flickers
first. It then will not start again unless I reset
the PMU. then It starts fine only to repeat the
problem.
I have tried it with another adapter, and its the
same.
I've tried several PMU resets, and pram reset.
unplugged it for several hours with he battery out
programmmers button etc. But the problem persists.
Any suggestions at all are welcome
further to my first description, the powerbook will run start up of the battery the go to permanent sleep after a few minutes.
also and wierdly, its will run ok with the power plugged in for as long as the battery charge lasts. Then it does something similar to sleep. but without thesleep light.
I'm am really scratching my head here.
Any feedback would be gratefully recieved

When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds. Any advice please?

When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. If that does the same or you can't create a new library try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Mail shuts down after 3 secs on ipad 1

Can anyone help with this, my mail shuts down after approx 3 secs of opening on my ipad, have cleared all mail from desk top pc but still happens??

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipad is not going past the logo screen and it shuts down when I have battery, then it says I need to charge it. I am charging it but it isn't charging. Then my ipad isn't charging (doesn't say not charging) I've tried everything!

First, my ipad wasn't charging. Then it shuts down when I have 7% battery, now when I turn it on, it says to charge it. And when I do charge it, it doesn't work. Now, I did it once it worked. Now I can't get past the logo screen and when I do it shuts right off again. Please help!

Hi InternetHogger,

The first generation mac pro shuts down after start up suddenly

I have had mac pro since 2006 and have used it so many times without any problems starting up/booting successfully. Recently it was not booting well and i done pram clearance and worked for a while. Once after going into the desktop the screen just froze and i could hear a repeatitive clicking sound from the computer. I was able to shut down and did not use the computer for some time. i have tried to switch it on today and it goes through the normal dong sound and apple logo appears plus a grey bar underneath which fills to a bit and then there is a change in sound in the computer as if something coming to off and then there is the same repeated sound of faint clicking and the computer shuts down. can please anyone help me how to sort the problem out?

Your machine info has changed from 10.6 to 10.3. No MBP ever shipped with 10.3, so I'm including directions for 10.6:
Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
how do i open up the disk drive?
Not sure what you mean by this.

Starts up, Sleep Light Comes On, then Shuts Down After ONE Second

I was using the Macbook Pro in Target Disk Mode using a external monitor, and when I was done I had to open the case to shut it down. I then pressed the power button to start it up regularly and shut the case again. The computer acted like it went to sleep, so I figured I needed to keep the case open when starting.
As soon as I hit the power button again, the sleep light came on and the optical drive made a little noise, and after one second the light went off and everything shut down again. If I HOLD the power button down then the sleep light stays on for five seconds, flashes rapidly for two seconds, goes off for one second, then back on for a second before finally shutting completely down again. Repeatable.
I do have a Snow Leopard DVD in the drive, but that shouldn't make any difference. I can't eject it either by holding down the eject button while powering up.
I've tried removing battery and power and holding down the power button for a long time. No help.
Any ideas on how to get it alive again?

No start-up chime.
The only noise that can be heard is the hard disk and the optical drive powering up, the power LED lights up, then ONE second after hitting the power button it shuts itself off.
The best way I could think to duplicate getting it in this state is to press the power-on button and immediately shut the display lid. I would assume the timing of closing the lid has to be right at an inopportune time in the startup sequence.

HT201177 when I power up only the fan turns on then shuts down

0can anyone tell me whats going on

Try resetting the SMC. Be sure to follow the right procedure. For a unibody or Retina, use the "for a battery you should not remove yourself" method.

I Dropped my iPhone 3GS into water. It will power up, but shuts down after a short time. Can anyone help me back up my contacts, pics, calendar?

I need help backing up info from my water damaged iPhone. It works on and off so I need to get my calendar, etc while it still works!

If it will not stay powered on long enough to complete a sync or backup, there's really nothing you can do. It sounds like it suffered physical damage (the water likely caused shorts which have damaged circuitry). If it has not fully dried out and you keep trying to power it on, you risk merely doing even further damage.
There's no magiacal fix for this, sorry. Unless you can get it to power on long enough to run a sync/backup session, you are just out of luck.

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Starting up and shuts down after 30 seconds

My powerbook started doing this. It's starting up, you hear the chime , then the spinning thing with the gray screen, then it shuts down after about 30 seconds.
I did try a few things that I've read in different threads. I can do the single user mode and the black screen comes I can type the things from this thread but it doesn't look it works.. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1801027?threadID=1801027 . I did type those commands w/wo the "+" signs.
Please help

The plus signs were remnant discussion formatting keys and are not part of the commands.
OK, here goes on what to do. Boot into single user mode. Then try the following command
/sbin/mount -uw / <enter>
which mounts the boot volume as write-enabled (it normally comes up read-only to begin with) then this command:
/sbin/fsck -fy / <enter>
And let it attempt the repair of the boot volume. It will either report that the volume is OK or that it has been repaired. If it has been repaired, then repeat the second command until it just says things are OK. Please post the results.
Note that usually, in single-user mode, those commands will appear as an advisory just before the first terminal prompt.

Why is my iphone coming on only connected to a PC and then shutting down after 1 minute???????

Seriously need help. My phone is going crazy right after ios is installed. It turns on only with a PC and then shuts down after 1 minute? Never thought Id have problems with Apple.

I have had the same problem with my daughter's IPOD nano. Spoke with several technicians to try to fix the problem to be told it was a battery problem and to send it in it was covered under warranty. Was told that it was a problem with many of the nanos. I sent it in to have it returned with 1 week stating that it had "liquid spill or submersion damage indicated by the pink/red color of liquid submersion indicator located inside headphone jack." It has not had liquid or submersion damage and I can't prove otherwise. It works only if it is attached to computer. Will not turn on unless attached to computer. Maybe I am wrong but it it has damaged by water would it still work plugged into computer. Now I am out $200.00. This frustrates my because my ipod shuffle quit working 2 months after I got it. Thats why I bought the nano thinking it was better quality.
