IPHONE RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OPERATION

My iphone has taken to shutting down and displaying the Apple logo- can be in the middle of a call, or typing a text, or opening an e-mail. It will go to sleep for a minute(with the logo illuminated), maybe two then the home screen appears again, and the phone will then work faultlessly for an hour, maybe more, then it has another headfit and will crash several times inside an hour. I am running the most up to date version. Rebooting using the home button and off button simultaneously, has no effect. I have restored using itunes, several times- it still does it. I have deleted all the bought apps- to see if one of those was the cause. No better. Just running original apps supplied, still continues to have amind of its own, shutting down on a whim.
AM I ALONE IN EXPERIENCINMG THIS?

This is almost certainly a software issue. You should perform a restore on your computer. If this does not work you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store. However, I believe a restore should do the trick. Plug the phone in to your computer. Open up iTunes. Sync the phone. Then, from the summary page for the phone in iTunes hit the Restore button and let it do its thing. When it is done it will ask if you want to restore from the back up of your phone. Just say yes and all your information will be synced back over. Welcome to the Forums.

My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away from where I live.

My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge now. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away and I depend on my phone to stay in constant touch with my child's specialist.

I've tried that several times. It will not reset. The screen just stays black. I've never had this problem before. It usually resets the first time.

IPhone 5s shut down in the middle of the night.

My phone randomly shut off in the middle of the night, I'm not sure if it was just a glitch and won't happen again, but I want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. The phone was charging and I had to hold the power and home button down for about 30 seconds for it to turn back on. Could you tell me how to prevent this from happening again?

It's a computer, they're not perfect devices, sometimes they freeze. There's nothing you can do to guarantee it won't happen again. I would just ignore it unless it happens again. If it does, you can do the standard troubleshooting steps such as restart, reset, and restore.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been randomely shutting down in the middle of a screen.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.

I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.

IPhone Randomly Shuts Down

My iPhone randomly shuts down and I have to charge for a few minutes for it to come back on. Went to Apple Store tech support. They did a diagnostic and found nothing wrong with the phone. Told me that the problem was the number of apps running in the background (i.e., multitasking). After deleting all of the apps in the background, the phone still shut down with 53% of battery indicated. What is the problem? What can I do about it?

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

IPhone random shut down- unable to restart

Hi
since i have upgraded to os 3.1, my iphone has "shut down" 3 times and been unable to turn on the phone unless i hold the home and sleep/wake button. I say "shut down" because i don't know if it does shut down. There is another post that says its a bug or something. I just want to to if this is a bug or something else. Heres a link to the topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10235780&#10235780 .
Thanks

Have you found any answers...The only one I found was that Safari had open windows close them on a blank page because someone said it will keep trying to update even when Safari is closed. I still can find out why it crashes and shuts down in the middle of reading e-mail or another application and then battery level changes dramatically upon restart.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. Why?

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. This is very annoying. What is the fix?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process

i'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process. Whats the problem?

Hi TD,
Yes they do appear in full size and I can edit them. I've just realized that it's not just photos from the Net that are not appearing - it seems to be happening for all photos I've imported into iPhoto after a certain date.
After spending many more frustrating hours trying to work this out, I found that if I click all of the 'events' which contain the photos I'm after and then create a Book - all these photos appear in the selection window strip. However I still need to work out a proper solution as this still limits me to only those photos in the highlighted 'events' and no new pictures can be added to that particular Book.
Heeeelp please!

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Why does my HP ENVY 7640 continually shut down in the middle of printing?

Why does my HP ENVY 7640 All-in-One printer continually shut down right in the middle of printing?

Hi @JE66,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Envy 7640 is continually shutting down during the middle of printing. I am happy to look into this for you!
Please, take a look through the steps within this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) Also I would suggest to watch this video:
It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Afterwards, I would also make sure that the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a great day!

Can I shut down in the middle of Applying privileges to secondary drive?

I've had it with this permissions and locked hard drive mess. I gotta get to work. I'd like to erase my secondary drives (Lacie 1.8TB). I tried to "Apply to Enclosed Items" in a desperate attempt to remove the lock and now it's taking forever to Apply. Can I just shut down the computer, restart and wipe the drive with disk utility? Or could shutting down in the middle of the Applying Permissions process damage the drive?

I made the mistake of doing this once, too (trying to apply new permissions to my Time Machine folders on a secondary drive), on my Mac Pro.
It took days - literally.

IPhone 5 shuts down with the battery at 40%

I'm having issues with my iPhone 5. It regularly shuts down with the battery being far from 0%. When I took it to the apple store, a "genius" said that the battery is fine and restored the phone to the factory settings. I set it up as new without touching the backup (with iOS 8), but the iPhone keeps shutting down with a half charged battery. If anythings, the problem only became worse with iOS 8.1. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it.
The iPhone is out of the warranty and is not eligible for battery replacement. Another issue I have is that the home button often responds with a delay, but I don't know if it's related to the main problem.
Thanks

Here's the battery info from iBackupBot:
CycleCount: 368
DesignCapacity: 1430
FullChargeCapacity: 1200
