My iPad just shut off

So I had just bought a new pair of headphones, I made sure that the quailty was nice and all. And I plugged them inton my iPad and after the 4 songs playing it just shut off. I tried turning it back on but it wont. The light buld isn't dead because it still would have been playing music. and I tried plugging it in and it won't work

Try this and see if this lets it restart.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Help! My iPad just shut off wont charge or come back on? Whhaaaaa

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

My ipad just shut off and will not turn back on.

I was waiting for a youtube video to load up so i sat it down and when i picked it back up a few minutes later it wont do anything. I thought it mite be dead so i out it on the charger for atleast an hour and still nothing happening.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Happened to me once, about 6 months ago, and a reset got it working again.

My ipad keeps shutting off and cannot restart immediately

please help, my ipad keeps shutting off for no reason and will not come back on again unti it is ready. at least 5 times now very frustrating.
any suggestions?

Damien.
First, try to do a full backup—reset—restore of your iPad via iTunes. (a) Plug in and, if it doen't start automatically, run iTunes, (b) back up your iPad, (c) do a total reset, (d) restore this last backup.
If this is enough, just go ahead and do it.
Otherwise, do like me — dummy — and read the excerpt from Apple's KB below:
--- Quote
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
(...) You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
--- Unquote
If this does not work, (and probably won't, but it's a 5-minute operation), then you should seek hardware assistance. If it's a brand (or almost) new iPad, go back to the shop and they will give you a new one, without much trouble... It use to happen with iPods and exchanging the product was routine in this shutoff—restart issue.

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

I changed a few settings and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shut off switch and can't back to the settings icon to change it back. Any ideas?

Glitchs like that sometimes happen
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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If sit still reocurrs a lot, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My MacBook Just shuts off...

My MacBook will just shut off for no reason when i am doing work and such. I did a virus scan and all and found nothing. What is going on and why would it do this? Is there anyway to fix it?
Please Help...

I had the same problem with my Macbook. There appears to have been an issue with the original design of the heat sink for the microprocessor. I sent my Macbook in for repair a couple of weeks ago, and Apple replaced the heat sink. The Macbook has been working well since the repair.
Either call Applecare, or take it into an Authorized Apple store/repair center. In either case, it will need to go in for repair.
My repair took about a week (heatsink was on backorder). I've had other repair work done by Apple (other computers I've owned). Excluding the wait for the backordered Heatsink, My experience has been a turn-around time (excluding shipping) of < 48hours.
p.s. Be sure to discuss any other issues you may be having at the time you schedule service. My Macbook also had the discoloration issue where my hands rested on the case during typing (known issue with early MacBooks). Both issues were addressed during the repair.

My iMac turns on the start up chime sounds, you see the apple icon on the screen and then it just shuts off. Any ideas?

Do these two resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My Macbook Pro just shuts off.....not very happy

I got my 17" MBP a week ago Saturday. Everything was fine for almost a week. Friday it shut odwn on me three times. I called Apple Care and they walked me through a series of steps that supposedly would take care of the problem: remove the battery, press and hold ctrloptionR, while turning the computer on and pressing 'P' (I think). It seemed to do the trick, as I had no problems until today.
This morning it would start up, I'd be on it for a few minutes and it would just shut off. It did this about four or five times. Then this evening - it has done it twice. It just goes black and shuts down.
My settings for sleep are set correctly, my battery is charged correctly - this is just very upsetting.
I didn't think Macs did stuff like this. I had so many problems with PC's and laptops over the years, I was hoping I had escaped some of this.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone know WHY this would happen?
I'm calling Apple Care tomorrow and getting to the bottom of this. I want a reason/solution or a new MB.
Thanks for your help!

Hi. I just did the update over the weekend. I had my MacBook pro (1st Gen) just shut down and didn't think much of it after about an hour of use. I put the charger on it for a couple days and left today on a business trip. I assume I had a full charge. I got about one third through a movie while flying. usually with the right settings I can get a movie and some work done. Anyway the machine just shut down. It would not reboot. It would try but fail like it had not enough power to complete the boot. The interesting thing is when I press the battery indicater button on the back it was showing four green lights which is about right given the amount of the movie I got through. Three hours later in Toronto it boots like nothing was ever wrong. However after about 5 mins it just shut itself down again. Wait a half hour it will do the same thing the battery shows about an hour remaining at this point but it won't stay running. I don't think the battery needs to be calibrated I mean it shows what looks to be the right time remaining when it does boot. Also I didn't even get 40 mins out of it after a fresh charge? I am like everyone else here hoping for an answer. I was going to go buy a new battery but I hit the boards first and it looks like that might not be the answer. Just thought I would give my experience in case it helps someone out there find a fix and the more that make apple aware of this problem the better.
Cheers

My iPod Touch 4G just shut off one day while i was using tap to post. tried everything and nothing is working not even iTunes! Is there any hope for me? my iPod is my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh by the way none of this happened until i updated to iOS 6.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.
