IPad turns off while playing certain games.

During certain newer games, my iPad will freeze and either keep the screen and have rectangles, or it will go black and restart. While this is a relatively small issue, I would just like to know if there is an easy solution; will I just not be able to play certain games? Or is there a fix?

Try the basic:
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(C) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
(D) Restore iPad
1. Connect your device to your iTune (computer).
2. Select your iPad when it appears in iTunes.
3. Select the Summary tab.
4. Click the Restore button.
Note: Data will be lost

My iPad locked up while playing a game. Now can't turn it off or do anything.

Nt iPad locked up while playing a game. Now I can't get it to shut down or do anything. The buttons don't do anything. Help!!

Have you tried a reset ? 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.

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

Laptop ThinkPad W701 turns off while playing games...

I got this laptop for 2 years and it has never done this before. Two weeks ago it started turning off when I played games like Skyrim or Europa Universalis 4.
The laptop is hot at the place where the graphic card is located but the fan seems to be working...and PC doctor has no error.
I disassembled the laptop and cleaned it from dust but it did not work...
I tried different drivers (for quadro fx 2800m) and now I have installed the 326.80 beta, but it's still the same...
I don't know what to do, I'm so angry that i'm considering to buy a Dell Alienware... can someone help me, please?

Hey Xardas,
I'll reinstall Win7 in a week to be sure it isn't an other problem.
I uninstalled one device in the device manager, it was an ATI device, I installed a recommended benchmark so that was it's device I guess.
As you said, I took a look into the Event Viewer, by the way thanks for that I didn't know that there is some kind of program :) , and there is one event that matches to the time, the display turns black. Maybe my translation won't be the best one :S
*_+The discription for Event-ID "14" from "nvlddmkm" could not be found. Maybe the component, who starts this event, is not installed on the system or the installation is damaged. You can install these components on this lokal system.+_*
*_+\Device\Video5+_*
*_+CMDre 00000001 00000094 ff1fe138 00000007 00000000+_*
I hope the translation isn't as bad as I think it is :/

IPhone screen no longer turns off while playing podcasts

Up until a few days ago my iPhone screen would turn off (go black) while I was playing back a podcast. When I wanted to stop or pause the podcast I would hit the Home button twice to bring up the controls. I must have inadvertantly changed a setting, because now while playing a podcast, the screen remains on the podcast screen and doesn't "go black". I listen to podcasts on speaker during my commute and I'm concerning having the screen on for so long will run down the battery. Is there a setting I can check into?
Thank you.

Hard reset-hold home and power button until it power cycles. If that doesn't fix it backup and restore. If that doesn't fix it restore as new. If that doesn't fix it take it in to Apple.

What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was when I was online ,but have to start games over.

The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.

While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
Thanks! It worked just fine!

While playing a game or on Facebook, sometimes the game or program just goes off. Then I have to start over. It seems to be doing it more often. Does anyone else have this problem and can you tell me how to fix it?

What makes the I-pad kick off while playing games or on Facebook?

Addition:
Stupid thing is my computer works fine only internet connected stuff causes TOTAL freezes: nothing works. <CTRL>+<ALT>+<DEL> doesnt react. <ESC> neighter. I can only get my computer to react by "killing" it completely with power shut off ("pull the plug") and starting up from scratch.
My partners computer is working fine. He also has updated to V10.0.2 And can play the game or do anything else. It happens on my laptop with Windows vista.
Now Im typing this on an other computer. So the computer details of this one are NOT RELEVANT. Please ignore.
Because of TOTAL freeze I get NO troubleshooting information.
The whole screen is a still. Sorry.
So, now Im pretty sure its FF V10.0.2 cause we've ruled out pretty much everything else and before I go through the whole installation process... This is my LAST hope.
ANYBODY??? PLEASE HELP ME???

Why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

I have been having the same problem for about a month. It has now gotten so bad I can no longer use my iPad 3.
Having problems with my iPad 3 shutting down, starting up, shutting down continuously.
I have tried closing all apps in Task Bar & the sleep/home routine. They worked for awhile, but now nothing is working!
I was told that this is a common problem with the iPad 3 and that it is a manufacturers defect.
It is 14 months old and Apple wants over $300 for send-in service. I have tried to reset to factory defaults, but ipad keeps shutting down & restoration never finishes. I am not sure whether to have it repaired or cut my losses and move on to something else. Frustrating & expensive. Any suggestions???

My iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

maybe but
most likely no
if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

Is it common that the Ipad turns off?

( I apologize for my bad english, sry but im from Chile )
I started using iPad yesterday and i downloaded and installed like 20-25 free apps ( games and other stuff ) from iStore.
Then i layed on my bed with my iPad for trying each app, and when i was playing, suddenly the iPad turned off, and it didn't turn on after that. ( I was really scared, i thought i damaged my iPad, but i didn't know how ) So, i searched on the internet and the solution was to reset it. ( pressing both buttons for like 20 secs ) It worked!
But the problem is that.... today i had to reset my iPad more than 10 times because of that, it turned off suddenly when I was playing.
Is this common?

Thanks, the battery level was high enough (more than 60%).
I'll go to a Technical Support store so they can fix it.
( again, sry if my english isnt perfect )
EDIT: the iPad also sometimes get stuck and sometimes get stuck and appears a blue screen :/

IMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzard games

About every 20 seconds my iMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzrard games. When I click the mouse or touch a key on the keyboard the iMac wakes up and the game is still running. This has been happening more frequently over the past six weeks. Now it occurs every twenty seconds. I have turned off my sleep mode settings, reset the SMC, loaded the TechTool Deluxe and ran a diagnostic. When TechTool Deluxe came to testing the video ram the utility crashed. I ran TechTool Deluxe a second time and it crashed again while testing the video ram. My iMac only has this problem playing Blizzard games. I have contacted Blizzard and they don't have an answer. Is it my video card? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB graphics card. Any help would be appreciated.

Likely is the Video card, but...

How to see battery status while playing a game

Some games seem to close off menu bars and everything else.
My daughter plays the sims 3 and sometimes uses battery power, but she always panics that the mac will just shut down due to lack of battery power.
How does she see what the power is at while playing the game?
Its normally just in the menu bar, but like i say this game overrides all that info until the game has been quit.
Thanks.

Anybody?

After the battery run out my iPad turns off

My iPad turns off when the battery run out. Then I plug-in it for recharging. iPad start with Appel sight then switch off again. Then again start with Appel and off again. So it is not stoping on/off and not recharging. The USB cord is good, other devices recharging properly. That to do?

Plug your iPad into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.
