    My iPad will just shut down for no reason and I have to reboot a few times to get it back up and running

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My iPad 4 takes forever to charge and sometimes shuts down for no reason and instantly turns back on..... any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    I bought the iPad 4 as soon as they announced Air was coming out.  I have noticed it takes FOREVER to charge.  Is that normal?
    I have also noticed that it suddenly turns off for no reason then will instantly turn back on.......  I

    You may want to try this:
    1. Backup iPad
    2. Setup iPad as new. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
    3. Test iPad thoroughly
    4. If everything is fine, restore backup to iPad

  • Shutting down for no reason

    So, my ibook's been shutting down for no reason and seemingly random times. The battery is fine, but I noticed that it only shuts down when the power cable is plugged in. It might work fine for hours, and it's never shut off while actively charging (below 98% battery power). So it seems to me that it might be the dc board from what I've read around here on the forums, but I want to try to get confirmation before I try to fix it myself.
    The only other detail about this situation that makes me wonder if it might be something else is that at almost the same time it seems that my power cable for my Western Digital external hard drive has gone out. Could they both be the effects of some kind of power surges? Or is it unrelated and just coincidental? I have everything plugged into a warrantied surge protector strip that should prevent that kind of thing, but I know failures do happen sometimes, or fluctuations in the power levels in a building might cause problems as well.
    I'm probably overthinking all of this, so please help me out as I'm no expert at all. Thanks so much!
    Lydia

    I just ran the PRAM reset, so we'll see how that does.
    I have the problem when nothing except the power cord is plugged in.
    The external is a USB drive with an AC source. The power cord for it acts the same way even when there's no drive attached, the light barely winks on then fades out. When the drive is attached it tries to start then turns off when the adapter (for the drive) turns its light off.
    The power adapter for computer is fine according to all the standards on that page. I replaced it back in December, so it's not been used all that much. The connection looks good and the DC in board port looks fine too.
    The fan comes on without problems and whenever I've checked the temps in istat it seems within normal levels.
    What's the Apple Hardware test? I may have heard of it previously, but seem to drawing a complete blank on it now.
    Also, at this point I'm leaning towards a power surge being the root of my problems. A bulb in an overhead light blew out the same day, I went to replace the bulb and had bought a high wattage bulb then found that the light had 2 bulbs inside and both had blown at the same time. My dad has some background in electronics and when I consulted him about the power surge theory he said it was likely. I went ahead and filed a report with the maker of the surge protector to try to get a claim in and possibly some kind of funds to help pay for whatever repairs are coming.
    Thank you so much for your help and advice, I appreciate it!

  • My iPad shuts down for no reason, mine is wifi only, what to do?

    My iPad shuts down for no reason, in the middle of doing something. Mine is wifi only, what can I do?

    My iPad Air version 8.2 shuts down for no reason and then will only restart if it connected to power. When It restarts after I have connected it to power, the battery shows that it is dead and the clock displays 4 pm. Then the iPad reboots and the clock displays the correct time and the battery display shows the correct charge. The iPad is updated and works normally except for its spontaneous shutdown behavior.
    My solution for the time being is to connect it to a portable external  battery when I am away from a power source.

    Thanks Brian. Reboots don't work even though the iPad has a charged battery. It will boot automatically if it is connected to power.
    I will take it to an Apple store even though it is out of warrantee.

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • I just downloaded Lion and now my computer just shuts down for no reason. What is its problem?

    I just downloaded Lion and now my computer just shuts down for no reason. What is its problem?

    I recently made the same mistake.  The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC.  After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files.  There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact.  I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible.  The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well.  Good luck.

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro shut downs during start up and restarts to full power fans, Help!

    I have searched through all the forums all day and can't find anyone with the exact same problem.
    It doesn't matter if I'm booting up to Windows 7 (boot camp) or OS X.The computer will start booting... and anywhere between the "apple tone" and the login screen it will shut off all the displays, shut down the HDDs, shut down the GPU fan and spool up the main fans to 100%.
    I have reset the SMC and PRAM. All the diagnostic LEDs are displaying correctly (no overheating, GPU lights on). No RAM LEDs are lit up. The white LED on the front remains lit constantly. It won't stay running long enough for me to run the diagnostic disk.
    I first thought it was a GPU (Nvidia 8800) issue, but after removing it and booting up with no video card... the outcome was the same. I'm leaning towards a PSU failure, but I haven't found anything to back up my theory. I'm hoping it's not a logic board failure... I would think there would be LEDs lighting up or something more definitive.
    Can anyone help?!?!

    There are multiple threads and reports of issues with Icy Dock - there is one on Amazon that lines up properly.
    The drive sled length of 2009-2012 Mac Pro are longer. Maybe OWC needs to be clearer.
    You'e right half-way and maybe some corrupt plist or interferring process you have, or even another hardware item or cable - external - even printer drivers or something that refuses or does not like sleep. Controller card?
    All around I'd have to vote for Samsung 830 model. Then Intel 520. Crucial is out with x4 now (Or is it "V"?)
    SSD firmware continues to be trouble. Even May-June the SandForce firmware had major issue and reason to hold off any using theirs. Reason to see if yours needed to be updated. Someone last week with m4 found they had old firmware and needed to update it.

  • Laptop shuts down by its self and i dont know why

    my laptop just out of no where just shuts down for no reason at all and i want to know why its doing this for?? so if i have to get it fixed i could, it was bought on February 15 2007 so it is a little older but other then it just shutting down by it self it works really great.

    The failure description is vague, so it would be hard to tell you exactly what is happening.  What happens when it shuts down?  Are there any error messages when it restarts?  Does there seem to be an excess of heat at the vents or under the system when it shuts down?  Are you using the computer on a solid surface, or on your lab, blanket, etc?  Can you hear the internal fan running?  How long has it been since this computer has been serviced?
    If the computer has not been serviced since new, then it probably needs to be taken apart, cleaned, and have fresh thermal compound applied to the processor.

  • MBP unexpectedly shuts down for no reason- help!

    MBP unexpectedly shuts down for no reason.
    My MBP has been working fine, until I updated to 10.5. Originally this problem started in Bootcamp running XP, but has now done this once in OS X, just a while ago. There seems to be no difference- even when the psu is plugged in. Just now when it did this again, I pressed the power key and the led on the front blinked really fast, then there was a tone- like it was doing a firmware update (but I did the firmware update months ago!).
    I've done a power reset- taking out the battery and holding the power key down for 20 seconds, which seems to have helped, but then again this problem seems to be rather sporadic, and one can never tell when it is going to happen next.
    Oh yes, there is a mechanical 'click' that sounds when it does it- like a relay click. Is there a relay power related IC on the motherboard?
    Any clues anyone? (I'm sending this exact letter to Apple as well)
    Tom

    It's an interesting thread, but I seem to have the problem even when the cord is plugged in. I did have battery problems when I first got this MBP, but they seemed to settle down once I used the computer a bit more. FWIW, I have now got them mostly while using Bootcamp. BC beta 1.3 was really stable and good. It wasn't until I bought Leopard that this problem started. And again, it's only happened 3 or 4 times now.
    I'll just have to keep saving. I'm sure Apple will wise up to this sooner or later. (Incidently, I haven't been able to send anything to Apple as I can't find their direct contact addie. Can someone 'remind' me? Thanks!

    There is no such thing as a "hard reset".
    If basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide fails to resolve the issue, then take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • My iphone 3g shuts down for no reason

    I upgraded my iphone to OS 3.o 2 weeks ago and now it started shutting down with no reason. Any ideas??
    thank you

    Determine the following:
    - If your Battery life approximate? Charge through Wall Charger for ATLEAST 2-3 hours then monitor it.
    - Is there an application that you are running while this occurs? If it's a third party application, Delete it then Reinstall it.
    - During calls: are you sure it shuts down? Maybe unresponsive at Proximity Sensor or a Leather case, a smudge, can be blocking the sensor.
    - Has any liquid been in contact with the iPhone?
    - Do a Restore as New, it could be that your OS3.0 download was corrupted, redownload the update and install it again on your iPhone making sure you have created a Backup of your contents - once the Download and Update has been completed you will be able to Restore from a Backup as the Backups do not have firmware on them.
    Goodluck.

  • HP Probook 4710s shuts down for no reason!

    Hello everyone,
    I own an HP Probook 4710s laptop for about 3 months now.
    Recently I played Call Of Duty MW2 and after a while of playing it just shut down for no reason.
    I played it before on my laptop but it didn`t shut down.
    And just recently I played Age Of Empires 3 and it also shut down.
    It happened twice with Age Of Empires.
    Tho it never happened when I wasn`t playing games I`m still concerned and would appriciate any kind of help or explenation from anyone.
    Thank you.

    Check your Event Viewer logs at the time of the shutdown and look for critical errors and events.  It sounds like a heat problem.
    You might want to check for a bios and/or a video card update here.

  • Ibook G4 shuts down for no reason

    hi can anyone help me with a problem thats just started to happen with my ibook or maybe its happened to someone else and they have a solution. the problem i'm having is that my ibook just shuts down for no reason esp. when i'm online and won't start up again unless i remove the battery leave it out for a few seconds then put it back in and it press the on button. i have kept my software up to date and as soon as a new update is available its downloaded and installed on the computer and i also have intego security software on my mac, so this is why i'm a little confused if my software is up to date and i have my security software protecting my mac why is it shutting down i have ran virus scan after virus scan but it comes up clean every time, is my mac on the way out (its only 2 years old) or is there something i'm missing or not doing. i would be very thankful if anyone can help me with this because although there is plenty of shiny new macbooks out there i kinda like my ibook and i don't want to let it go with a fight. thanks again

    hi john
    quick question is it possible for my ibook to reset its pmu itself, i looked up the effects of resetting the pmu on the apple site and one of the things it says will happen when the pmu is reset is that, "After the reset, on some iBooks and PowerBooks, the system clock is set to 00:00 (GMT), 01 Jan 1970 for computers with Mac OS X" , its just that when my ibook shuts down an i manage to start it back up the clock is set to 00:00 (gmt) 01 jan 1970 so does that mean its resetting itself or is the date going back to then because i take the battery out. thanks for your help so far
