Iphone still switching off when I'm restoring it!

I've got a 3GS 16g and when down loading a new app the other day (after only getting it for Christmas) it crashed and then went into recovery mode. I've hooked it up to my computer and when i try to restore it, the phone seams to reboot or switch off mid sinc. At the end of the download my computer says that it lost network connection and to try the download again after having checked all my settings. I've done this about 20 times now and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas please? I'm trying to aviod taking it back to the shop as they'll send it off!
(I did have a reply and thought I had the solution but have just realised that I have Windows XP Professional!)

You're welcome.
Are you saying your OS detail provided is accurate? You have a PC running Windows 2000?
If so, Windows 2000 is not supported. You need Windows XP or Vista with a PC, which is included on the retail sales box.

Turn it on.
If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

Iphone 5 switches off when battery still has 15%

After updated to iOS 7, my iphone 5 always switched off when battery still have 15%. Anybody have the same issues?

Sounds as if the battery may need to be recalibrated. Let the battery drain until it turns off. Then connect the phone to the charger and let it charge to 100%. Disconnect and then use it. It should get it back to a better read. The batteries are designed to shut down when the battery has a certain amount of power left. The battery percentage is not always that accurate.
You can take a look at this link from Apple about batteries. http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

Iphone 4 switches off

my iphone 4 switches off when i insert the sim. dont know what to do??

Just want to inform you, that you are not alone. I wish to report the same problem. My brand new iPhone4 can not be switched on in the normal way. I have to press the on/off button and the home button for 10 sec. Phone restarts with the apple logo, than operates normally as long as i keep it awake. When i switch it off, it can be switched on for only 1 min. After 1 min it can not be switched on again, it has to be restarted by pressing the on/off button for 10 sec to restart it from scratch. This must be a serious hardware/software problem. Phone is not usable, I have to return it to the provider (T-Mobil Germany).

Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. Please help

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Iphone 4s turns off when using flash for photograph

so here is my problem. i have an iPhone 4s 16gb bought back at launch in 2011. since updating to ios6 i have this dumb issue.. whenever i try and click a photo using the stock camera app (with FLASH) the phone (sometimes) just turns itself off and when i try turning it back on, it tells me i need to connect it for charging (regardless of how much juice is remaining).. when i try turning it on after a few minutes it boots up normally with the amount of battery it had prior to the shut down.. i thought that the new software updates might solve this issue but it hasnt at all.. i have searched these forums and it seems im not the only one having this issue.. even upgrading to ios7 did nothing and its still the same.. it was working fine when i had ios5 out of the box.. also when i use flash (in a low light enviorment) the images are completely washed out/ heavily overexposed.. i mean you can only see the 4 corners of the picture.. i have no covers etc on the phone just fyi.. btw this only happenes in the stock ios camera app and not any of the 3rd party apps that i have tried.. also when i use the new quick flashlight it works perfectly without issue till the battery really drians out (just fyi for a perspective).. is there like a fix that im unaware about? or apple doesn't care about 4s people anymore??

Same thing happening here.
iphone4s 64gb switches off when taking pictures (sometimes) (often enough to be annoying!)
always with 10-40% of battery remaining
it shows flat battery animation and will NOT switch on, even if holding both buttons for 2mins+
but it turns on immediately when i connect charger, no waiting to charge
and immediately shows 10-50% of battery that i knew it had
it also did it once when playing music and then someone called me
device switched off when i pressed answer button
i am on 5.1.1 but know others on forums running 6.0.1 with same problem
so telling me to update will be pretty stupid advice
it did not happen on 5.0 (but that was when battery was new - 4 months old!)
had device for 13 months so warranty/swap is out of the question
as i paid £270 upfront for the device and still have to pay £37 per month to o2-UK for another year
i find it disgusting that i would have to pay to have it fixed/swapped considering its not my fault
im actually looking for a definite fix for this
NOT the usual 'take it to apple store' babble as i cant afford that
but we all know im not gonna get one....

Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this. It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue. But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.

IPhone 5 Switch off at about 30% battery. What can i do?

Right now i have still 15%, but Many Times i have around 30% and the iPhone is switching Off because Off the battery. What can i do? Is the Problem the battery?

Let's the next step would be to restore your IOS but make sure you backup first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
if that doesn't help then restore your phone as new and see if your battery still drains.
