Ipad switching itself off and on

I am having trouble with my ipad switching itself on and off-although now, it seems, I can't even turn it on.

thanks Diavonex-yes, it is charged..tried to do a restore, but it appears that it hasn't worked.  Time will tell, but currently apple icon is showing on the device, and the bar below seems to be half way and at a standstill.  Guess it hasn't switched off as yet-which may be a good sign.

    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!

  • HT5538 Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. It has been charged but nothing works.

    Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. As far as we know it's fully charged, can't check as got a blank screen but does buzz when charger is plugged in. Has been left on charge for quite some time. As you will gather, I am sending this on his behalf.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • Lumia 830 switches itself off and then on!

    My new Lumia has a gremlin. Every few days it will switch itself off and immediately on again. I notice there is no "goodbye" screen. Usually I am on the internet of using an app and the phone freezes and then goes off. When it switches on I have to set the clock again to the correct time. Kinda annoying for a brand new phone.

    Thanks for sharing your Lumia 830 experience in Microsoft Mobile Community, prashantarora. If you're still experiencing the rebooting issue, consider trying the fixes given here: My phone does not work or respond as expected. Any update about the outcome will be appreciated. The content of the link is applicable regardless of your location. If you're no longer experiencing the said issue, that's great. Feel free to share how you made that happen.
    Hi, seventeenAPG. Getting the phone work properly again is exactly what we like to happen. Thanks for sharing this good news with us. 

  • My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970

    I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S   ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
      can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?

    Sounds like the battery is dead.  Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPOd
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem your battery is very likely dead.  An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

    Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
    I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
    I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

  • HT1267 What do I do if my iPhone just switched itself off and won't turn back on again? It does not even register power when I plug it in to my car or home charger or computer???

    What do I do if my iPhone just switched itself off and won't turn back on again? It does not even register power when I plug it in to my car or home charger or computer???

    If you hold the home button and power button for about 10 seconds it will turn back on. I have had his issue 3 times but don't know what fixes it for good

  • My iphone4 switches itself off and wont switch back on until its plugged into the mains

    Hi there, can someone help me please!?
    My iphone4 white had updated ios 4.3.3 and it randomly switches itself off, has anyone else had the same problem?
    It just goes to black screen and I cant manually switch it back on, only when I connect it to the mains does it come back on.
    What's also really strange is that once its reset from the mains it resets the date to 01/01/1970 and the time to 01:05?
    Hopefully someone out there can help!? Mark

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My iphone has switched itself off and will not turn on

    Help!!!!, My I phone has switched itself off for no apparent reason today and now refuses to switch back on again!, hit has been working fine and is less than a year old.

    Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My i phone keeps switching itself off and on

    my iphone keeps switching itself on and off

    Yes, there is a hard reset, using the power and home button at the same time does temporarily remove power to the device to force a "hard boot" its in the support knowledge base, you can search if you do not agree
    the terms hard and soft are just terms i use to make it more understandable to the reader, a 'reset' is what you do to a phone that simply cycles itself and is unresponsive to restarting http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
