Assuming that it isn't shutting down becuase the battery is depleted and you need to charge, restore the iOS.

  • Just purchased a new iPad and the sound works on Siri, music, videos, alarms, but on games it will not.  Is this a preference or perhaps a defective unit.

  • My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970

    I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S   ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
      can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?

    Sounds like the battery is dead.  Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPOd
    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.
    If still problem your battery is very likely dead.  An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.  After the phone restarts, try updating again.

  • ITunes is telling me that my iP4 may be damaged and can't be activated, but I was using it when it turned itself off, so how can it be damaged?

    iTunes is telling me that my iP4 may be damaged and can't be activated, but I was using it when it turned itself off, so how can it be damaged? I even managed to download photo's from it whilst it was turned off, so there was clearly some functionality before I restored it. Is anyone aware of any problems with the Apple's servers currently?

    Things fail sometimes.
    Was it jailbroken or "unlocked"?

  • IPhone 5C keeps switching itself off and struggles to start again. I've updated and rebooted the phone; do I need to go to a store?

    I've restarated the phone twice and updated iTunes and the iOS Software. But this problem sill persists. Do I need to take my phone back to an Apple Store to get a new one or is there anything else I can try?

    Sounds like you need to take it back to the Apple store and tell them the replacement isn't working.

  • My i phone keeps switching itself off and on

    my iphone keeps switching itself on and off

    Yes, there is a hard reset, using the power and home button at the same time does temporarily remove power to the device to force a "hard boot" its in the support knowledge base, you can search if you do not agree
    the terms hard and soft are just terms i use to make it more understandable to the reader, a 'reset' is what you do to a phone that simply cycles itself and is unresponsive to restarting http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

  • I just purchased a Canon a4000 and the videos will not upload to Picasa. Pics will but not video

    I have owned several Canon's and have never had  this issue.  I attach my camera to the computer using a USB cable and hit import and everything but the videos will upload.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Hayn,
    If you are experiencing some difficulty, I recommend using the software that came with your PowerShot A4000 IS to transfer the video over to your computer.  You can also use a card reader to a accomplish this as well.
    Picasa uses other available software and codecs on your computer to work with video.  I have provided a link below that will show you a table of supported video formats and the software required to play them back:

    If you still have problems with Picasa, I recommend that you contact Google directly for further assistance.

  • Can anyone help? Have a Xperia X10i keeps switching itself off & on when using the internet.

    This has only started happening after the last update. After approx 5 mins if I am on facebook or playing a game it turns itself off & on all the time. Texting & making phone calls is fine.
    I have tried to update again but it won't let me saying it is up to date.  Firmware version 2.1 update 1   if that helps any.
    Not sure if theres anything in the settings I need to change or maybe I need to install a software program?
    Any help/advice is very much appreciated, thank you

    I suggest that you do a update or reinstall of the phone software via the Update Service program. www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice
    Hopefully will that solve your problem.
    If you get the option to update I suggest that you select to update and also factory reset the phone.
    If you only get the option to reinstall you already have the latest version, this will automatically result in a master reset too.
