Ipad suddeny powers down and it restarts

Hello,
I just received my new Ipad yesterday afternoon. I proceed to setup the device. I follow the instuctions to connect to Itunes. Everything goes well. I setup the ipad as a new device and avoid using my iphone and ipod profiles. Hey great
Insidiously, the ipad will shut down afer 5 minutes during use and restart. I mean blank screen for a short pause then the appearence of the white apple logo. There is ample battery charge. It continues to cycle like this after I manually shut down and restart. Okay, I restore on 2 different computers, it still does the same actions. While itis working,the ipad is excellent. It is frustrating to be reading my email or a document and the device just stops. Now, I am ready to package the item and ship it back.
Just curious has anybody experienced this issue and do you have any advice.
Thank you for listeneing

Hi, I have the same problem with my IPad. I have had it for almost a month and was really enjoying it when my problem developed. When I first turn in on, it seems to work for about 3 to 5 minutes when it will then seem to shut down and do a reboot on its self (black screen for a few, then apple icon, then shows the normal screen with the slide on). It will work again until 3 to 5 minutes have past and will again shut down and reboot. After troubleshooting it, restoring it to factory settings I got a hold of the Ipad Support people, went through the hoops in verifying the problem before I sent it to an Ipad Repair facility. It was serviced at the Ipad service center in Elk Gropve, CA. The service center returned it with a letter saying that it could not duplicate the problem. The problem reared itself again the first time I tried to use it with the same symptoms. Since there are no Apple Stores or service centers in my area, I took it to an authorized Mac computer repair/service in my area. They also experienced the same symptoms with my IPad. The were surprized that Ipad Service Center in Elk Grove couldn't duplicate them. Before leaving the Mac service store I talked to a rep via the IPad support center line. I went through the restore procedures, and attempted to download the latest software for the Ipad. It was a real pain as it would continually shut down and reboot during the download and install procedures every 3 to 5 minutes. I again ship the IPad to be repaired/replaced to the IPad service center in Elk Grove. I got an email today stating the service center could not duplicate the problem and my Ipad was useable and functional and was being sent back with the latest software and firmware updates. I hate to be pestimistic, but how do you think my Ipad will work when I try using it again? I hope this is not the norm for Ipad and its Service/Repair Centers...

Why does my iPad randomly shut down and then restart?

This has only happened since the newest iOS update. It has also had problems with the wifi happening since the last 6 level update: randomly drops wifi signal etc.
What can I do? I've tried backing up and doing a factory restore, the problem doesn't resolve.

I'm not sure. I didn't buy it, I won it in a contest at work and I don't have any of the reciepts or anything for it.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!

Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

Recently, I can't get any sound from my game applications. Sound works fine with video, streaming, etc, but not my game applications. I've tried powering down and re-booting, but the sound does not return. Can anyone help me?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

I was in iphoto cropping, the computer froze, I powered down. after restart, I lost the pictures I was working on. How do I find them?

I was cropping in iphoto, the computer froze, I powered down. After restart, the photos were lost. How do I find them?

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
NOTE: was it the computer that froze or just iPhoto? If it was just iPhoto you can use the  ➙ Force Quit menu option to quite out of iPhoto without having to power down.

Hi, while listening to a song my iPad music shut down and I can't open it any more. Do you know how to fix this?

Hi, while listening to a song my iPad music shut down and I can't open it any more. Do you know how to fix this?

Did you try quitting the Music app and then restart the iPad?
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.

A few days ago my G5 started to freeze up while in use. It doesn't matter if in Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc. The cursor will not respond nor does any keystroke, force quit, escape, etc. I have to hold the power button down to shut the computer down. Then, try to restart. Sometimes restart will work and the computer will work for a while and then freeze again. Other times on restart, instead of the Apple logo at start up, I get a Zero with a line thru it, have to power off and restart again. When it does restart, the "spinning gear" takes a lot longer than normal to spin up and take me to the login screen. Have been told it may be my hard drive getting ready to fail. Have looked at disk utilities, S.M.A.R.T looks fine, "verified" and have verified disk, and repaired permissions. In case it is the hard drive, I bought external hard drive and hooked it up to Time Machine. The backing up to a long time, overnight, about 10 hours because it kept freexing up and I would have to shut down and try restarting again. Finally got everything backed up.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!! Could it be my hard drive is dying? Is the the normal chain of events or is it something else???

Ok, to copy the Drive from one to another, get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Hi there,
This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
iTunes Store Support
You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
Nathan

Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?, Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?

While transferring files from one external hard drive to another, my MacBook Pro routinely would freeze and often render a message to hold down the start button until it shut down and then restart. I have i7 why does it keep locking up?

You can go back to original hardware; run Apple Hardware Test even.
Remove 3rd party RAM ( much rarer I think )
USB printers, cables, devices and drivers.
What changed?

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

Because there is something wrong with the iPad? Try restoring the device with iTunes. Start with that.

My ipad keeps shutting down and then rebooting

My Ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting, is this fixable?

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I have ipad mini 2 updated to ios 7.1.2. Now ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. I factory reset and redownloaded software in recovery mode. Still happening. What else can I do?

I have ipad mini 32gb. I updated to IOS 7.1.2. Since then ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. It happens so many times I cannot use the ipad. I have tried factory reset and reinstalled software in recovery mode. Ipad is only 1 1/2 years old and in great condition. Is there anything else I can do besides soend $200 to fix it?

Sounds like a hardware issue to me going by the CRC error you mentioned. I'd make a Genius Bar reservation (you'll need your Apple ID) if you have a nearby Apple Store and get it evaluated. The evaluation is free but repair/replacement could incur other charges.
