IPhone 3G reboots when I try to turn it OFF
I have an iPhone 3G running 3.1.2. Lately, I noticed that when I choose "Slide to Power Off" it turns off but then restarts 2-3 seconds later. I have another month of warranty left. Should I return it? Don't ask me to restore because I don't want to go to iOS4 (unless I can restore to 3.1.3 without the SHSH). I have tried hard reset etc. but nothing will work.
Anyone else getting this problem or any fixes?
Is it plugged into a computer or power adapter when you try to shut it off? If so, I believe it will automatically power back on. I'm pretty sure that if I shut mine off, then plug it into my Mac or a power supply, it will power on automagically.

My iPad says, "iPad Not Backed Up." This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connect to WiFi." When I touch "OK," nothing happens. When I try to turn it off, this message remains, and I can't slide to power off. Right now, it is "frozen up" and useless.
Reboot 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.

i have an iPod that is 5th gen and when i try to get into it it doesn't do anything its blank and when i try to turn it off in settings it doesn't do anything it doesn't even let me into the messages in settings my screen just freezes! PLZ HELP!!!!!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

What happens when you try to connect it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode? See this article for steps on how to put your iPod Touch into recovery mode. Don't be afraid to try this more than once.

Trying to fix something else in my settings I accidentally turned my parental controls on. When I tried to disable them it said my password or adminstrative name was wrong when I know they are both right. I even tried to change my password to the account but that didn't help. I don't want to have to delete my account and am not sure how to back everything up if that is the only option. Is there a simple solution to this?
If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own. -
my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn off and just keeps showing the apple logo. i tried to do the recovery mode stuff on it but it dosent shut off it just keeps restarting. i dont know what else to do. help?
Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the recovery and DFU mode again.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. -
My iphone4s restarts again itself when I try to turn it off. Why and how to solve?
As topic
Do you have a case on it that might be pressing your power on button or might press your power on button inadvertently when you touch it.

My IPhone 5 won't allow me to turn on my bluetooth, when I try to turn bluetooth to the on position, it automatically goes back to the off position. I can't connect bluetooth with anything?
Restart your phone, hold the home and off button at the same time until the apple symbol comes up.

Help!
Probably you have never experienced this, but I have lost the ability to iMessage.
When I try to turn on iMessage, it tells me that "an error occurred while trying to turn on iMessage."
It's not a huge deal, but people with iPhones can't text me back unless they try to re-send after finding out that their message wasn't delivered.
Help!
I think I have gone through every support option available, short of
Scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar. But I have been to the store three times in the last three weeks.
To solve a different problem, the folks at the store replaced my iPhone 4S.
I came home and loaded my backup onto the new phone. Everything EXCEPT iMessage seems to be working great.
I would really appreciate any feedback...Help!

Good ev Ning Mario49 firstly I would like to say a great thank you for your attention to trying to help me,,,,, i have looked at the links and will try everything stated first thing…
Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I try to turn my iPhone off, it automatically restarts itself. It has never done this before; does anyone know why it might be doing this/how to stop it happening?
This had happened to me today as well. I gave constantly tried resetting it, (I don't particularly want to restore it), but earlier did you find that your headphones went funny? Mine would stop playing music, but the phone would keep going. And if I paused it, and then pressed play, No sound would come out. And if I took the headphones out while it was paused it would play on the device, but as before, not through the headphones. But, I fixed it (temporarily) by pulling the headphones out while it was playing, and plugged them back it. But normally this would pause the music, and it didn't, just continued on the phone, with no sound coming out of the speakers. And it would only last for a couple of minutes and happen again. Then I tried resetting the phone, and it wouldn't turn off. Them I fixed the turn off problem by placing on a dock, and I think this also fixed the headphone problem. But then I took it off and then on the dock, and now it won't play through the dock (but it charges) and it won't turn off, again!
Also, apples customer serivice is plainly crap. This should be easy to fix. And I shouldnt have to pay a fee to ring them up for service help. -
When I try to turn on my homesharing on apple TV it says that either my apple id doesn't exist or the password is wrong. However, I've been using the id for almost half a year and I even changed my password and it still wouldn't work. What can I do to fix this?
Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.
