IPod continually shutting off and restarting

Hi,
recently I connected my ipod to my dad's laptop, but Windows automatically formatted it for some odd reason...
anyways, ever since then, my ipod continually restarts over and over again until it's battery runs out of power. Has anyone had or experienced this problem? thanks!

Hi,
I do have the same problem. After three or four times of formatting still the same problem. After every recovery and synced all my stuff back my iPod starts over again and again.
I also made a format with a windows computer and then go back to my MAC and restored it to Macintosh - but still the same
My last try now I formatted the iPod with Windows and then synced it with the MAC *but leaving the iPod at the Windows format* _and my iPod works as used to be_....
How can this be? Is there something wrong with the iPod 1.3 Software for Macintosh?
Any hints or advices?
Cheers
Yogie

Hey lattifahfromny,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may assist you:

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. 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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

My IPod 5 shut down and wont turn back on. people say to hold down home and lock button but my home button doesn't work. what do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Safari + Silverlight + Full screen = MBP suddenly shuts off and restarts

In the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has unexpectedly shut off and then started back up three times. Each time it happened while I was watching full-screen Silverlight video in Safari (4.0.3) — twice on the Netflix website and once on the NBC Sports website.
The first time I had been watching the video for several minutes before it happened; I switched to a different computer to finish my movie.
The second time it happened as soon as I switched into full-screen. I watched the rest of the game in a window (i.e., not full-screen) without incident.
The third time happened after seven minutes of full-screen video. I switched over to Camino (1.6.9) and was able to watch the rest of my movie in full-screen without incident.
I've watched full-screen video in Safari many times before without problems, but the last three incidents have occurred the last three times I've done it (i.e., it now seems to be happening every time).
Each time, my MBP was connected to power, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Could it be an overheating issue? The fact that I was running the same software combination each time suggests to me that it's a software problem, but the symptom suggests hardware. Thoughts?

Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
"Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
"I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

My ipod has shut off and will not come back on, i have pluged it in and still nothing what do I do?

I have a ipod touch and it shut off and will not come back on. I have pluged it in and still get nothing what can i do?

Let it charge for an hour or two.
If it doesn't Coe back on, try a Reset.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

My ipod randomly shut off and wont turn back on

My ipod touch shut off last night while i was charging it and it wont turn back on

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart

good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart

See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

E71 Shutting off and restarting

Hi
I just bought my first Nokia phone in years, E71, which worked fine for about 2 weeks.
Problem is that sometimes it shuts down and then turns on again, and when it's fully up and running again it will shut off again and the turn on again. This will keep happening until I take out the battery and put it back in again and turn it on by self. I can not press anything in between it's up and running and before it shuts off again, as it's not reacting.
Sometimes it just shuts off and stays off until I notice and then turn it back on.
I don't know if anyone have experienced the above, but I really hope that you have so that you might come with a couple of views on this issue.
Should also be mentioned that I currently live in Singapore, and when the sun is out and burning a hole in my pocket then the battery tends to get really really warm and it is usually when I go inside and the battery is cooling down that it's starting to give me trouble. Mainly then, but far from always.

This is common problem, reported several times on this forum. It is not a hardware problem but a most likely a problem with the operating system and its interface with the network. See related posts at: /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=28866 and /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&message.id=50039#M50039
and maybe some others I missed.
If you can, return the phone to where you bought it and get a different model, that's my advice. Nokia hasn't found anything better than having its customers send the phone back several times, repairing and replacing the phone, but the problem is still there even with a brand new E71. Now they don't even bother returning my calls.

My iPod keeps shutting off and not responding

My iPod started restarting itself and opening back up every three days. It is completely charged when it shuts off but when it opens back up it needs to be charged. This started happening recently and I don't know why. Help? My home button is broken

Try:
- 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:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 5s keeps randomly shutting off and restarting. It can either be in use or just sitting there and it will turn off. I can't figure out what is wrong.

My phone randomly shuts off. I will be in the middle of using it and it will completely turn off. I can also not have used it all night and I will pick it up and click the home button and then it will flash the apple restart screen. I'm not sure what is causing this as I have only had the phone for about two weeks. It's a little concerning and just wanted to see if anyone knew what it could be without me having to go into the Apple store.
Thanks!

MacBook Pro randomly shuts off and restarts a few seconds later

I brought my computer to the Apple store a couple months ago because the USB port was broken and my computer would randomly shut off. Long story short, they fixed the USB port, deleted all my files, and reinstalled Leopard. The random shut off problem still persists. I have a feeling it has something to do with the graphics card as it seems to happen more frequently when I'm using graphics intensive applications (photoshop, illustrator, autocad through vmware fusion, watching videos on a second screen, etc).
Has anyone had a similar problem? Should I just bring it to the Genius Bar again?

I know this is a really old thread, and everyone's probably already bought new computers now. However, I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing this very frustrating issue. However, I think I just found a way to open a finder window that prevents the shut down. In Finder>Preferences>General, under "New Finder windows show", I had "All my files" selected (BAD?), which probably was the cause, because setting that to "Desktop" instead has prevented shut downs, for now. Just thought I should share this tip, in case anyone else suffers from this annoying issue. If anyone has a better tip or a real fix, please post a reply! There are still people, like myself, working on these older machines who would appreciate the info. THANKS!

Ipad shuts off and restarts after 3 to 4 minutes even with a full battery.

My Ipad will shut off after 3 to 4 minutes even with a full battery and whether it is being used or not. then it will power up again on its own. This also occurs when the charger is connected and when I have it connected to my computer.

First try to Reset all settings if this does not fix the issue - No data Loss
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
If Not You need to restore the Device - Data Loss
connect your device to Computer and Click on Restore under summary
Reply if you want to know how to save the data if you have decided to restore the device
