Ipad suddenly can power off in two seconds

Hi
My iPad mini retina, iOS 7.1.  Started powering off ( I reboot my ipad periodically as a habit)  way too fast. I hold down power until I get the slide to power off,  and when I slide I get the spinning wheel for about a seconds then it shuts off. I can reboot immediately if I want.  I did a hard reset with no change.  every once in a while it takes the normal 10 seconds-ish of spinning wheel time before it powers off.   Pad works fine otherwise.
Ideas?
Thanks ,
chad

Hi TTD03,
If it had done it from the beginning I would agree.
@sberman,  hmm we'll it's been weeks since I updated to 7.1,  but I guess I'll just go with the flow. Maybe some optimizer routine is running.
Thanks,
Chad

  • 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 sister spoiled water into my macbook pro and the power went off in two seconds. I took off the cover and dried the water with tissues. Still it doesnt work. What do i do?

    My sister spoiled water into my macbook pro and the power went off in two seconds. I took off the cover and dried the water with tissues. Still it doesnt work. What do i do?

    Do you mean when the water was spilled on it, it shut down?  That would indicate a major internal short occured.
    Really, I'd say you need to take it into Apple or an Apple authorized repair center and get it looked at.  Odds are you've got a significantly damaged device that will require professional repair and parts replacement to get working again.

    Well the blinking light shows it's charging, however just to make sure.
    Reset the SMC, then connect the machine to a power source that doesn't have a lot of other power items on the same lines (in the walls) in the same room and see how it is in the morning.
    For instance use a powerline in another spare room that isn't being used as much.

  • When waking from "sleep" screen turns grey under the pointer and the computer is effectively dead. Have to hold power 'off' for five seconds to regain computer.

    When waking from "sleep" the screen appears normal but, the pointer leaves a trail of grey as it moves and the whole screen will turn grey if I keep moving the pointer. The computer is effectively dead. Have to shut down by using power off for six seconds and then re-starting. I know little about computers!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

    hey buddy.i put my i phone 5 s for charge but suddenly it power off,now i try to power on but it wouldn't. please buddy i don't know what happened to my i phone .help me to figure  out

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot.

  • IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?

    My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?

    Depending on what you mean by power off.  If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.

  • IPad won't power off

    Tried switching off ipad(2) by holding off and home button together but just getting rotating circle thing - no sliding off bar, no apple logo.  Tried connecting to itunes to do a reset but get unable to connect error.  Help!!!

    Try a reset to see if it reboots so that you can then try switching it off again : 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.

  • My iPad will not power off

    I have a 32GB iPad 1st Gen. It sits with a pinwheel rotating, but will not power off. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, it says there is an unknown problem connecting this iPad. What Can I do?

    I'm sure you've tried the hard reset using the home and power button?  If that won't work, next check your cables.  If you own a iPod, or iPhone and have mixed up the sync cables, that can sometimes cause an issue depending on how old they are.  If that doesn't work, I'd try a different computer with iTunes on it, if you have it, or a buddy to see if it recognized then.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Ipad won't power off or on

    My Ipad will not turn off or on.  I tried to reboot it because the email app was acting weird and not it is just locked in a "loading" mode.

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • How can I add a two second pause to the beginning of each slide?

    Hello,
    I have a project with TTS and perfectly aligned CC notes - 64 slides.  Now the customer would like for there be a two-second pause before the audio begins on each slide in order to allow the user to first become oriented with the slide.  Is there a way I can do this without moving the audio down the timeline two seconds, and then having to adjust the appearance of each of the CC notes accordingly? 
    I was thinking of something like pause two seconds On Enter -- Is this possible?
    Thanks for any help!!

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.
