IPod Touch 2.0.1 Reboots and shuts down randomly
I have an 8gb iPod touch on the 2.0.1(5b108) firmware that now reboots and shuts down randomly while just sitting idle. I've tried restoring and resetting and it still does this. In terms of the shutting down randomly it seems like my hold button is sticking or broken, but I can't explain the random restarting. This has only been happening since I updated to 2.0.1. Any advice?
As posted before as m9performance but the forum would not let me logo on as that.
This has been going on for some time now Apple was to fix this problem with the 2.0 update absolute rubbish it is now worse that before just turning it self off and resetting it self e.g. tonight from 17-30h to 18-45h it did this 3 soddin times.
Where as before it would be about once every 3 weeks or monthly it is about time Apple started to honour their customers with a product that works e.g. it dose what it says on the box and plays music until the customer tells it not to.
Come on Apple fix up and fix your product lots of people have mp3 players with out the touch problems like I have said before never mind bringing out a new bigger one 32G get the old ones working first. At the end of the day it is down to YOU Apple and not for the users to have to keep posting the same problems hoping that you as a company decide to fix your mistakes and eventually look after your customers.

IPod 4G keeps crashing, freezing and shutting down randomly
I think since the IOS7 update, my Ipod keeps on skipping songs, freezing on apps, crashing on apps and sometimes
shutting down randomly. I have tried deleting from multitask, and shutting down (which only works for like 10 mins).
How can I fix this? And repair is too expensive.Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

Reboot and shut down scripts failed on open dialogue window
I have a headless server.
It is scheduled to shut down at 01.00 AM via the control panel.
I have a script (tested it works) to shut down the server should the control panel fail.
tell application "System Events"
shut down
end tell
Should this fail for some reason there is a second script that tell the computer to reboot shortly before the control panel schedule should start the server.
tell application "System Events"
restart
end tell
Yesterday it failed to execute either script. ITunes had been running and checked for updates and found one. It was installed and this resulted in the dialogue box appearing that wants you to promise not to steal the code etc. No person there to click OK so it hung and cancelled all processes.
So this stopped the shut down as well as the reboot.
The reason I have this script is as to make sure the computer has no hanging programmes or windows and shuts down and fires up on the desired time.
Anybody knows how to make it force to quit the programme?
Or better would be (and my preference too) to have it check if such windows are open and OK them before shutting down.
I know this is only a one in thousand occurrence, but it would be nice to have it not happen again, this time I was there to fix it.
Thanks.'b4' - ?
Your problem is not with the provided instructions; but, the version of 'Script Editor', SE, you use.
I use SE, v. 2.0 (43) from a 'Panther' (MacOS X 10.3.x) installation. This application version works on PPC Macs running 'Panther' and 'Tiger' (MacOS X 10.4.x), and Intel Macs running 'Tiger' and (dog crap) 'Leopard' (MacOS X 10.5.x). At least here.
The features and (intuitive) ease of use of SE v. 2.0 are superior to its equivalents of 'Tiger' and (dog crap) 'Leopard'. Besides allowing one to view the 'Description' textarea field of a 'Run Only' script, SE v. 2.0 allows one to select all of the 'Suites' titles in the left side list, click on the right side panel, and then search for any character, word, or string - such as 'a', 'is', 'the', 'reference', 'in MHz' - anything. Try such a search with SE v. 2.1 and v. 2.2.
Try this example:
Select SEs' 'Window, Library' menu item. A window titled 'Standard Additions.asdictionary' will appear.
From the 'Library' windows' list, double click on 'StandardAdditions'.
SE v. 2.0 only - Select all of the suites of the left side panel, then click once on the right side panel.
In the search field (SE v 2.1 and v. 2.2) or search window (SE v. 2.0) enter 'in MHz', and press the <return> key. Did SE v. 2.1 or 2.2 find it? SE v. 2.0 goes right to it; even highlighting the search string result.
As an exercise - waste your time looking for 'in MHz' in SE v. 2.1 and / or v. 2.2.
Hint 01: Search for 'system'. Now you have a one (1) in four (4) chance of locating the user desired string (of 'in MHz') by viewing the text of each listed result.
Hint 02: Try searching by 'Description' - click on the search 'magnifying glass' and a popup button of choices appears - click on the 'Description' menu item. Still, unlike with SE v. 2.0, SE v. 2.1 or v. 2.2 does not actually highlight the located character, word, or string.
Ok, you finally located the line of 'in MHz'; but now - you want to see all of the commands of the related 'Suite' - how do you do it? In SE v. 2.0 you may have to scroll up a little; but, in SE v. 2.1 and v. 2.2 ... -
I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro '15. Summer of 2012, it kept shutting down and making the three beeping noises, so I took it in for repair. I was told that my Logicboard needed to be replaced, so I replaced it, and took my Macbook abroad with me. Halfway through the summer, the three beeping noises resumed, and since I was abroad, I couldn't use my 90 day warranty and take it back for repair. By the time I returned to the US, my warranty ended, and I was told that the RAM actually needed to be replaced. So I replaced that.
In May of this year, my laptop wouldn't start and instead showed a folder with a question mark. I took it to repair and was told it was the hard drive wire that needed to be replaced, so I replaced that. Less than two weeks after, my Mac began freezing whenever I had a YouTube video or song playing- it made short, staticky sounds and then shut down. Now, it shuts down randomly even when I'm not playing videos or songs, and regardless of if it is running on battery or plugged in. Since I got my hard drive wire replaced, I've also noticed that the laptop takes an incredibly slow time to start up.
The last the Genius Bar technicians looked at my computer when replacing the harddrive wire, they hadn't said anything else was wrong with my laptop.
I've spent almost $1000 total fixing my macbook and am quite sick of going through this over and over again. Can anyone help me know what went wrong this time? (I have no apple care) Thank you in advance.Check to see if you've any panic logs -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546.
If so, post the text of the latest.

IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps
When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

once you press the on button, the ipod start the loop:
1. black screen with apple logo for about 10 secondes
2. turn off
(back to 1)
thanks for helpingTry:
- 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 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.

It is amazing how just as the warranty on my Ipod touch runs out, it has started to shut down on me or freezes. Any ideas anyone?
If you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem then you likely have an hardware problem and the Genius Bar is a good option.

My home was burglarized, ipod touch stolen can it be blocked shut down....anything?
is thier any way my ipod- touch can be shut down, blocked........ anything done so these SOB cant get into personal info?
No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I can't open my ipod. It's hang before and shut down themself.
I can't open my ipod. I use safari and suddenly it's hang. I try to close it and reopen again. But can't and nothing happen.After it's hang and i try to close it. Ipod touch shut down themself. How do i do?
Have you enabled disk mode on it?
Turn off all syncing if you can, then turn off disk mode if its on. Hit apply then try the restore again.
A really drastic step it to erase it using disk utility.
Then reopen iTunes and restore the iPod software from there.

My iPod Touch 4th Generation keeps crashing and slowing down
I have an iPod touch 4g 8Gb. I've got it i think 2 years ago. Maybe even 3 I'm not sure. it is running IOS 6.1.6 . I never had problems with IOS 6 like other people said. It was perfectly fine. Until IOS7 came out.(I know it is not capable with iPod Touch 4) I restored it made sure background app refresh wasn't on and everything you can think of but it didn't seem to help. I have no clue about what the problem is. it has space in it. There are like 3 games Facebook and Skype only. I don't know how I could speed it up. I would highly appreciate it if anyone helped me with this problem. Thank you
I actually restored and set it up like a brand new iPod 3 months ago and never used it afterward. I feel like Apple made the iPods extremely slower after the IOS7 came out, because it wasn't that slow and crashing before IOS 7 was released. Anyway I assume that there are no solutions for my problem. Thanks.

My iPod touch automatically I get the message "Shut down" red
I hope you can solve this problem. Often an application I'm using the iPod and automatically receive an option to "Off" (red) or try to turn it off manually is not an option but after several attempts, and frequently also automatically locks. What should I do?
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -
HELP: torch keeps rebooting and shuts down
I've tried the application loader software on desktop and from the BB site and with and without the battery in and in all cases it does not recognize any software is loaded. All i get is that i have to add some software and I found online some forum that suggested to download any game and add it so it will stop it from rebooting. I can't figure out how to download a game with .ali or alx. Can anyone help as I have gone through all the help messages on here.
Make sure to remove your battery from the 9800 then do the following >
If you have desktop software downloaded you will need to go into your windows files on your computer.
Go to > program files (x86) > Common Files > Research In motion > App Loader > Loader.exe
Click on the loader.exe
Once it loads up click next then plug usb cable form your computer to the 9800 it will detect it.
Keep the battery out, once it finishes loading and it goes into reboot put the battery back in.
Viola like a brand new 9800. -
2012 MacBook Pro freezing and shutting down randomly
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (15.4" 2.6ghz i7 model) and I'm having some serious issues with the laptop freezing up completely and also randomly restarting. The freezes are hard freezes as well, not simple hangs, they require me to hold the power button down to restart Occasionally when it shuts itself down and attempts to restart it will give me the dreaded "3 beeps" indicating a hardware problem. Strangely, if I hold the power button down so that it shuts itself off entirely and let it sit for a minute it will always restart fine afterwards.
I have swapped out the RAM for new modules and the problem has persisted. It happens at various times as well, sometime in the middle of the night while its asleep, other times while I'm actively using it, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to when it happens. Likewise they occur regardless of any externals in use as well (I have a 23" external monitor that occasionally use via a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter as well as some USB 3 & 2 external HD's, USB 2.0 hub and a Firewire audio interface. The freezes seem to happen even if I'm using the laptop by itself without any peripherals plugged in.
To make my situation more complicated, I upgraded many of the componants of the laptop upon purchasing it, so I can't really be sure if I have a faulty HD since my only experience with it has been in it's current upgraded state. I have a 256GB SSD as my boot drive and I replaced my optical drive with a data doubler with a 750GB WD HD.
It is not currently under warrenty nor do I have Apple Care so I'd like to do as much legwork as I can to narrow down my issue- I have seen other threads where people have had thier logic boards replaced and the issues persisted- I don't quite have the $$ to spend on that sort of repair unless it truly is the root of my problems.
What can I do to further troubleshoot my setup? The freezes don't happen regularly but they are often enough to be a problem. I am also a musician and use my laptop for live performances so I need to make sure this doesn't happen during a show!
Thanks in advance for any assistanceSounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
One of these devices could be causing it.
Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
Select your language.
Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit. -
Imac turning on itself and shutting down randomly
My 2011 iMac started having this weird problem today. Basically, when i turned it off in the morning and left for work, it started turning itself on and off multiple times while i was away. When i got home, I tried turning it off, and it would turn itself on after anywhere between 1-2mins.
The boot screen shows up and i would get the booting sound, then it would restart itself and do the same thing over again.
I unplugged the power and waited for a while, then the imac turned on correctly, but as soon as i set it to sleep, it would fail to wake up. Now i can't even switch it on; the keyboard and mouse would lightup(third party ones) but nothing shows up on the screen and no boot sound. 2 seconds later the lights go off and it would try to restart again.
Again, I have the 2011 i5 imac, with a samsung 830 SSD installed not long ago. Please help!holding D doesn't work, the computer just boots up for 2 seconds, you can hear the fans turn on, but shut itself off right after that and tries to boot up again.
I installed the SSD like 6months ago too, if there was something that i forgot to connect back it should had happened long time ago no?
