Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used, it doesn't matter what I do with it, it has to restart itself during usage, it's so annoying. I have restored but still no luck, currently trying to update the software once I've finished downloading it but I know it will keep restarting when connected to itunes.
Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
because i dont have it anymore only the phone, box charger and usb
thanks

Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
No. The warranty is tied to the device, not the individual & all iphone 4's are still under warranty.

IPHONE 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes

Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes. the screen turns black and then the apple logo shows up. does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello jonah910,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having with your iPhone, I definitely see how it is a frustrating experience!
I'd like you to follow the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically the section under power & battery:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, 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.
Take care,
Alex H.

My Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes

My iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes. its never been dropped or water damaged. I can hardly use it at all. The phone is only 4 months old bought brand new. Has this happened to anyone else? how can i fix this?

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Macbookair keeps restarting every five mins

I have a mid 2012 macbook air that keeps retartedevery 4-5 mins. it will boot up fine and shut down without a problem but if i am working on or even if it is not doing anything it will shutdown without warning after about 4 mins. it makes no difference at all if the power cable is connected or not or whether the battery is at 100% or 20%
i have checked and rechecked the power and battery settings but even if they are set to never switch off, it still restarts after about 4 mins. ive also tried the smc reset (left side shift,control,option and power button held down) but that made no difference either
can anyone help?

Back up all data. Boot in Recovery mode and test. If the same thing happens, the machine has to be repaired. If it doesn't happen, reinstall OS X.

Screen keeps jumping up and down but only when using firefox-so not a hardware problem

The screen keeps jumping randomly up and down but nothing is being touched or pressed. The screens can be email, you tube, bank or general internet screens, or even trying to create this page

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Firefox takes time loading and keeps stopping every few seconds, but only in the last week

I have had updates for Windows and wonder if there is a clash between the two. I also seem to be getting more errors thn I ever had. I have tried uninstalling FF and reinstalling it and the results are still the same. It is damm annoying to have had such a great website that just seems to have malfunctioned overnight 25 April seems to have been the date, anything changed at your end

hey try a smc reset
EDIT (smc reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.)
if that doesnt help look at replacing the batteries in your magic mouse and try it then
if the issue still presists take it into a apple store and they can test it there to see whats up

Google thinks I'm in another country but only when I use Firefox.

Google redirects me to google.ru and YouTube shows Russia as my location. I'm not in or near Russia, GeoIP databases I've checked show the correct country.
This only happens on Firefox and not on Chrome. I tried clearing all *.google.com cookies but no luck.
Should I worried that some malicious software has altered my copy of Firefox?
I don't see any plugins or addons that I don't recognize...

Okay, I guess this is a Google problem. Those idiots have made perplexing number of bad decisions and mistakes since Larry Page became CEO.
Now to find where I can report incorrect Google GeoIP inaccuracies.

Only 39GB available on 300GB drive, but only 31GB being used...

Hello.
I have an old 300GB hard drive from the old white iBook G4 lap top.
I used it as an external drive.
When i Get Info on this drive from my Power Mac G5 quad, it reads: capacity 232.76GB, available 39.15GB, used 193.61GB
When i Get Info on this drive from my Mac Air....................it reads: capacity 249.93GB, available 42.04GB, used 207.89GB
That is a bit confusing, though i don't see it as too much of an issue.
My issue it that there are only 3 folders on this hard drive which total about 30GB only.
(One computer (G5) says that the 3 folders add up to a total of 31.79GB, and the other computer (Mac Air) says that the 3 folders add up to a total of 29.65GB)
Now, regardless of this discrepancy (which i do want to find out why), I should still have at least 198GB available on this HD.
So, i launched Omni Disk Sweeper, and it says that 193.6GB are used on this HD (on the "Drive List" window before I do the actual sweep), and after I sweep this drive, it says that only 27.7GB are used on this drive, and it shows the breakdown of the 3 folders on this drive.
I'm just wondering how I'm using 193GB on this drive.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!!!

Hello, the dicrepency between the to is due to apple switching to 1K = 1,000 Bytes instead of the old 1K = 1,024 Bytes... as I recall they changed it in 10.6.x
OK, now the missing GBs.
We either have hidden folders/files on the drive and/or Permissions on them betond your right's.
See WZZZ's post here on how to run ODS in root mode...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2703600?start=0&tstart=0
Open the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Copy the following line and paste it directly into the Terminal window, then type Return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Enter your admin password when prompted (it will not echo on the screen), and type Return.
This should open OmniDiskSweeper's "Drive List" window. Click inside it and then sweep your HD as you did before. This time OmniDiskSweeper should run with "root" privileges - see what you get this way.

Iphone 5 keep restarting

iphone 5 keep restarting

did you already try the "reset"?
hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time,
keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo, then let go and let the iPhone start up.
Let the power cable in for a long time....

Iphone 4 keeps rebooting... but only when plugged in

My iphone keeps rebooting itself... but only when I have it plugged in to the wall. When its not plugged in, it seems to work fine.
We have two iphones in our house... and I have tried the other wall charger... same result.
I went through the recovery mode restore... and its still doing it.
Any suggestions?

If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, when your iPhone is connected to your Mac, is it connected direct to a USB port on your computer - not connected to a USB hub?
Since the buzzing/beeps continue when your iPhone is connected to the AC adaptor, do you have another USB dock connector cable to try to rule out a problem with your iPhone's USB cable?

Burned Image on screen, but only when using Safari

I have a burned image on my IPhone's screen, but only when I use Safari. Additionally, when I open Safari's multiple window viewer feature, the image is there as well. The home screen and every other app is unaffected. Turning off and on the phone does nothing to fix the problem.
I know removing the casing and battery is an adventure, so I am trying to avoid it if I can.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for the help.

Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

IPhone 3Gs keeps restarting ever second I've tried everything that I possibly could but nothings working...

Ok I have noticed alot of the same posts but my iPhone 3Gs is restarting every second not minute. It started when I went to restore my phone cause i saw for some odd reason i had over 2gb of memory being waisted by "other" what ever makes that up, anyways so after i restored it I told it to restore from back up ever since then it keeps restarting. help please :-/ ???

Then the next step is to try the process again, this time restoring as a new iPhone rather than from backup. (The restore may not have worked if the source of the problem is contained in your backup.) If restoring it as new doesn't resolve the problem then it is probably a hardware problem and you will need to take it to the Apple store for evaluation. I would save a copy of your backup to your desktop before proceeding so it isn't accidently overwritten. If it is a hardware problem and you end up replacing the phone you will want to restore your new phone from this backup in order to keep your data and settings. You will find the backup at one of these locations:
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
