IPad turns "off" by itself every 2 minutes

I just started using my Apple iPad 32GB WiFi yesterday. Whether I am connected to the Net or not-connected, whether I am doing-stuff on it or not-doing - it just turns itself off every 2 minutes. I have to restart it by pressing on the 'Home' button. The iPad is fully charged (84% - the battery percentage indicator says). Is this a hardware defect? Do I have to return it to Apple? It has the standard OS it comes with, I have not updated any OS. Also I synched it with iTunes (9, I think). Please help.

same to me.
Just opened the new iPad and while installing it started turn off and on by itself.
I tried restoring from itunes and resetting from the ipad.
Nothing.
The next day I called support and they told me to reset.
Did it again.
It seemed to fix it and for 24 hours it did not turn off.
This morning it started again: on and off every 2 minutes, 5 times in the row.
I am resetting again right now.
You are not alone

IPad turns off by itself and returns to apple logo screen

My iPad turns off by itself and I need to wait for 2-3 minutes for it to open and then it will turn off again and wait. I already tried pressing home and off buttons for 10 seconds but nothing happens.

Try restoring the iPad software.

If that does not work, you may want to try recovery mode.

IPad turns off by itself.

My New iPad turns off by itself after I lock it when my iPad is at 50% battery life or lower. I've already done a restore and this problem is still here. Any tips?

KimT.-
If it does need a repair, someone at a repair center would be able to test it and figure out what the problem is. I suggest you look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers> <Another Option - For Country, choose “Show Complete Country List”>

HELP! - iPad turns off by itself

My iPad 2 recently started just turning itself off (screen wipes from left to right, shuts off and then restarts). I did all the reset settings and restores but the problem got worse to the point it would only stay on for about 10 seconds then shut off.
I took it to the Apple Store and - great service as usual - they told me it was an issue with the logic board and replaced it free of charge with another iPad 2.
I then restored from my backup and yet again, the new iPad shut itself off after about 3 minutes and now does it after about 20 seconds.
HELP?!? Has anyone else had this problem. It can't be a logic board issue with a brand new iPad.

1. Restore to Factory Default
2. Install one app at a time
3. Test thoroughly before installing the next

My ipad turns off by itself. I'm using Apple's Smart Cover and I'm not sure if this is relevant to the problem.

What to do?

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,

Ipad wont turn on unless i put it in dfu mode, and then it still turns off within a few minutes, ipad wont turn on unless i put it in dfu mode, and then it still turns off within a few minutes

my ipad 2 turns off by its self, it works perfectly fine otherwise, the condition is very good and it has never been dropped or anything. it turns off by itself and then i have to put it in dfu mode and recover it to turn it back on otherwise nothing else works. once i put it in dfu mode, the ipad turns on once fully recoved and restored to orginal settings but a few minutes later the process repeats, and turns off again. any helpp?

If your iPad is jailbroken, we can't help you.

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

My iPad will stay on for minute or so, then will restart. I have tried to restore, but it says I must have "Find My iPad" turned off. The iPad will not allow me to turn that off, so I am at quite the impasse.

HT1430 My iPad this morning decided to turn off by itself!!!

My iPad this morning decided to turn off by itself, i was in the itunes store buying a movie and it went black for 1-2 seconds and went onto the home screen and then the apple logo appeared and rebooted itself i didnt even have to turn it back on it just came back on by its self?? why did this happen and is there something wrong with my ipad?? HELP!!!!!!!!! I decided to turn it off and leave it turned off for the rest of the day is this a good idea because i have allready done it!!

All software has bugs in it, and it's possible that a bug caused an abend and your iPad to reboot. If it becomes a regular occurence then you could try restoring to your last backup or back to factory defaults and resync your content (but make sure that you copy anything important off first if you do reset back to factory defaults).

My mac pro suddenly turned off by itself, then after 10 minutes it started to work again with "no battery available" icon and an always-running fan!

it's bugging me since I don't know if it's recharging or not..

Mine has just done this too. Did you find out what it was?

Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
thanks
ross

Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
Cheers,
Daniel

My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.
