My ipad is turning off randomly in the middle of me doing something

so my ipad 3 is randomly turning off in the middle of me playing apps and it would go frozen and completely turn off and then it wont turn back on again for another 10minutes and its not battery power beacuse it has 63% battery left so please help me because i have to use this ipad for school next year and school isin 2 days

Well, it seems that I have a similar problem. New mid-2012 MB Air that works perfectly, but for no reason will just go black. The behavior is different from the description above, in that it goes to sleep and can be awakened. No flashing.
I thought that it would be something with the power management and hot corners. I changed all of those settings, but the problem persists. Any ideas out there?

  • My iPad Mini turned off randomly and wont turn back on.

    I was using my iPad for games during school and it just flashed a blue screen and turned off. I turned it back on and it worked for a couple minutes then the screen started doing weird things and popping up with random thin black lines. It has turnbed back on a couple times after that and it just does the same thing. I have tried resetting it by holding the home and lock button, and I would try and reset it through iTunes but it also won't connect to my computer. There is no physical damage on the device. I have only had it for a couple weeks. It has never been dropped or missused.

  • Why does my Satellite C655D-S5300 turn off randomly after about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours

    Was wondering why my laptop turns off randomly for no reason.  It does this even if no battery is connected and the AC adapter is connected.  It starts right up again if I press the power button but only lasts for an hour or so then shuts down again?  When it starts I do hear the fan going and the system works just fine until it randomly shuts down.  Upon restarting the usual windows error indicated improper shut down happened.  Could it be a bios problem or a virus?
    Solved!

    Hi Peter,
    Well, I finally gave up and took it into a professional repair place who simply updated the BIOS and that solved the problem.  Runs like a champ now.  I should have checked that before taking it in...would have been a quick fix and saved
    $100.  Oh well, thanks for the reply.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...

    My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens. 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Tiffy6996!
    I have an article here for you that describes this issue and can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    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.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Ipad Air Turns Off

    I have an iPad Air that I purchased last weekend.  I also bought the smartcase.   I noticed that when I closed the case and went to bed.  The next morning, I could not get the iPad Air to start.  I ended up having to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds before the apple logo would appear.  And then I could procede after typing in my passcode.    The next day, I noticed this happed after less than a hour of activity when the case was closed.   Why does the unit shut off?  Under general settings I have auto-lock set to "Never" and Passcode Lock set to "After 5 minutes".   The passcode lock seems to work fine when I am actively using it.
    My apple store is an hour away so I would hate to bring it back, if I am doing something wrong. I am a new iPad user.

    Hey there biskets,
    It sounds like your iPad is turning off unexpectedly and the Apple symbol has some graphics issues. I would start by resetting the iPad:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on the iPad when u open it, but it's no doing that for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?

    So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?

    Wait a sec did this just start?
    You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now.

  • I have locked myself out of my iPad and can not restore unless I go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone, how do I sort this out?

    After installing iOS7  I was prompted to make a passcode, I did so and stupidly forgot and now continually am disabling my iPad, ways in which I have read you can sort this is restoring your iPad, however I can not restore without iTunes telling me I need to go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone! How else can I sort this? It is logged into my apple account and everything! This is an iPad 2 also ASAP help!!

    Hello shanefox,
    This can be done by logging in at iCloud.com and removing your device via the Find My iPhone web interface.

  • Has anyone else experience their iPhone 5 turning off at a high percentage and turns off randomly turning back on with the red battery needing it to be plugged in?

    Have had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now, love it, but lately it has been turning off randomly with percentage rates of 50% or above and when I go back to turn it back on it has the dead battery sign on the screen. I am trying to figure out if its hardware issuse or if its the battery itself. Just need suggestions on what to do? Took it in and they want me to restore it but I want to try something else before I wipe it clean.

    1)  Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    2)  Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...
    3)  Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then...

    Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.

  • Power button doesn't work, phone turns off randomly, and then flashes the apple screen over and over until I plug it into the charger

    I have the iPhone 4s through Sprint, running iOS6. The power button my phone doesn't do anything, it doesn't lock my phone, and holding it down does not turn off my phone. Randomly, the power off screen will come up, sometimes over and over and over again. Sometimes the lock screen does the same thing, and there have even been times when it screen captures my lockscreen. Also, my phone will randomly turn off even when the batter is around 50%, and then the apple screen flashes over and over (sometimes for hours when I'm at work) and will not fully turn back on until I plug it into the charger. I have not spilled anything on it. I have dropped it, a few days ago, but it has been acting like this for weeks. I also had the problem with my wifi, where it grayed out and I couldn't select it, but my wifi randomly started working again. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have the same prob

  • Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

    Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

    Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way -  we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map  - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.
