IPhone 3G shuts itself down, battery @ 0

This used to happen sometimes, but now my iPhone shuts itself down with full battery status, and when I turn it on again, the battery is at zero.
Any good idea what I might do (except buying a 4G 3 months before the 5G comes out)?
Thank you!

IPhone keeps shutting itself down

I just updated my iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 . and ever since I have had this problem that my iPhone keeps shutting itself down and I have to hold the power and home button at the same time for it to be turned on. this happens 4 or 5 times a day. I'm really sick of it 'cause my alarms and my reminders don't beep when the iPhone is off. please help me. I want my Almighty iPhone back.

Hey there Legs8,
It sounds like your phone is repeatedly shutting down unexpectedly on you daily. I recommend these troubleshoting steps from the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My iphone 4 shut itself down and not turn on back

My iphone 4 shut itself down and not turn on back

I have been having the same trouble with my iPhone 4 freezing up more and more often and the only way to bring it back to life was to do a reset. Finally made an appointment at my local Genius Bar and, even though they couldn't reproduce the fault at the time (of course!), they swapped it out for a brand new phone which has been fine since.
Excellent customer service - just reminded me why I switched to Apple in the first place
Reading other threads, it sounds like this is more of a hardware problem with the home button not being able to 'wake' the phone up when its locked.

My iphone randomly shut itself down

Iphone 4 will not power up. shut itself down after recording video and attemptimg to send via mms.

Iphone 4 shut itself down about 10 hours ago after I recorded a new video and attempted to send the video via mms. Tried many times to power up using standard power up procedures. I noticed that it seemed to be getting hot. I removed the protective cover and the actual phone was very warm. even after 2 hours it appeared to be overheating. has not been dropped or gotten wet. any solutions? has this happened to anyone else before?

Hmmm, press and hold (about 10sec) the Home and Power button until you see the Apple logo. That restarts your iPhone and should fix your problem.

I just updated my Iphone 3G and now it won´t work anymore. It wouldn´t even boot. It was just working for 3 sek. after the installation and now it shut itself down. Any help, please?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

HT4061 My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

Put it in a bag of rice or silica gel. Leave it there for a week. Do NOT attempt to power it on or charge it before the end of the week.
If it still doesn't work after that, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

When I Plug It Into My Computer It Recognizes The Phone But It Doesnt Show Up In iTunes 11 PLEASE HELP

Can you do a Reset by holding the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time for about 20 seconds?

Iphone 4 shuts itself repeatedly down and reboots

My brand new iPhone 4 shuts itself permanently off and reboots. I've already made a soft reboot (pushed home button and power button), restored it back to factory settings and updated it via iTunes (4.3.1 to 4.3.3). I'm frustrated about this mess and hope somebody could give me an advise what to do now.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately solved the cleaning of the dock port not my problem. Anyway, I returned it for replacement and get an used iphone in return for my new iphone. Hopefully, it is at least a fixed one.

My four-year-old MacBook has started shutting itself down

My four year and one month old white Macbook, running Snow Leopard, has started shutting itself down - as in suddenly going from being on to being in a powered-down state - in the last two days. In the last two days, it has shut itself down at least six times, I've lost count. Before the last two days, it never shut itself down ever in four years that I can remember. Five out of the six times it shut itself down, I was playing a PlayStation game via the PCSX emulator for OS X. I had been playing this game on and off for about a week, give or take a day, before this started, without issue.
Yesterday, I started playing it, and the macbook shut itself down some time into it. Thinking it was an overheating problem, I let it cool down for 15-20 minutes and tried again, and the macbook shut down again after maybe 10-15 minutes of use. Again, I let the macbook cool down for 15-20 minutes, the results were the same. I went through this again, this time ejecting the DVD that was in the drive and unplugging the power cord(to let the macbook run on battery, to see if that would make a difference), and it shut down again. I then let the macbook cool down for probably 4 hours. I then engaged in a two hour internet surfing session, in which the macbook did NOT shutdown. I turned the computer off when I was finished, and a few hours later I tried the game again, and the macbook shut down again, after only 5-10(I think) minutes of use.
This morning, I tried again and there were was another shutdown. After this, I tried another game(with another emulator), a 2D one as opposed to the 3D one I had been trying, and this went off without a hitch. After that, I tried a different 3D game(in yet another emulator), and the macbook shut down again(and in this game I hadn't even started anything yet, I was just at the first menu screen were you select a save slot, that kind of thing). After that, the computer was off for the rest of the day until the last two hours, during which I have been online, and there has been no shutdown as of yet.
I know this is a lot of detail, but I just wanted to illustrate the possible correlation between certain games and the shutdowns, even though I emphasize that I have played all of these games before without issue. Additionally, I watched a full two and a half hour movie via DVD on my macbook either the night before or two nights before the shutdowns started(having trouble remembering) without any issue. If it's an overheating issue, it just seems strange to me that it would get through a two and a half hour DVD without shutting down, but a game with 3D graphics - and this is mid-90s polygon early 3D graphics, not 2011 movie-like 3D graphics - would suddenly start making it shut down.
Anyway, I'm very concerned, and looking for any advice any of you can give. Any assistance is appreciated.

I had two more shutdowns occur. The first was while playing the same game that cause most of the previous shutdowns. I had Activity Monitor open, and the CPU % was way over 100. The second was while playing a 2D game, marking the first shutdown during a 2D game. The CPU % wasn't as hight as the first time, but still up to around 75-85 or 90%. I didn't notice the fans ramp up, but I may not have been listening hard enough.

MacBook Suddenly Shutting Itself Down

Twice so far today my Macbook has shut itself down. Both times it has been very quick in going to a blank screen. Both times there has been plenty charge in the battery but it hasn't been connected to the mains.
In order to restart it I have to connect it to a power supply.
Any ideas? Is it battery trouble?

Brand new pro shuts itself down after 30 seconds

Help please!
I bought Mac Pro two months ago and have used it mainly for pages, internet browsing and watching movies from my external hard drive. Since I've had it, it has gone to sleep (black screen) after just a few minutes of not touching the keyboard and takes almost a minute to wake up again when i try to rouse it by touching a key or space bar or use mousepad - really annoying if writing or presenting a lecture!
Now, it shuts itself down about 30 seconds after switching it back on again. It opens up to a black screen with the Apple loading sign, the browser appears with 'chrome wasn't shut down properly' and then the computer switches itself off again. I can't get it to stay on long enough to check any settings. It's only two months old and has maximum storage.
I didnt purchase any additional virus software - could it be a virus? Or just a faulty machine?
Also - I bought it in the US with extended warranty but no additional insurance.. I live in the uk but am currently in India and so cant take it to an apple store. Am I covered with warranty?
Thanks.

- could it be a virus?
No.
Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Mac Book Pro shut itself down during operating

my MacBookPro always shut itself down whenever the power cable is unplugged, so what's wrong with it? (it is not about running out of battery) please give me any advices.

To check, perhaps the simplest way is to click on the apple icon on the top left and access the menu item, About this Mac. There are two buttons: click the bottom one, "More Info...". That will open System Profiler (also in the Application>Utilities folder). On the left of the panel that opens in System Profiler, in the Hardware section, is the item, Power. Highlight that and an information panel will show and that will give you lots of battery information. The real part you want is "Health Information": cycle count and condition.
To calibrate, plug in the power cord and fully charge the computer/battery until the light changes to green. It should remain charged for at least 2 hours (you can use it while it is plugged in). Then disconnect and use it with battery only and keep on using it -- ignore any warnings -- until it goes to sleep (if your battery is not allowing this, then it is pretty much dead). Then turn it off or allow it to sleep for 5 hours or more, then reconnect the power cord until it is fully charged. You can find this information by accessing the Help menu at the top of the Finder screen and typing in "Battery Calibration."
I hope for your sake that you are within the 12 month warranty period and it has not been abused. It is possible that these batteries can die before that time.

PB shuts itself down when connect/disconnect the AC Adapter plug!

Have a difficult problem with my powerbook these days.
The machine works perfectly fine with the AC Adapter or on the battery alone.
But strange thing happens when I plug in the Ac Adapter to the machine, or unplug the connect from the machine, the Powerbook just shut itself down without any warning.
Some might say that it has something to do with the battery, which means I have to replace the battery. I will be more than happy to do that, because this Powerbook was built in 2004, the battery is showing some signs of aging.
According to my experiment, when I plug the connector to the machine, at a certain point, there is a electrical noise comes out from the machine, which I assume that the connector is "short-circuited". Which means I have to replace the whole DC board that will cost me £50.... -_-#
Any ideas are very appreciated!! Thanks.

Which means I have to replace the whole DC board that will cost me £50...
Yes, it may well mean that. Or it may mean you need to replace your AC adapter, which would cost less. But first, can you borrow an adapter that's known to be good, just to test with?
