My Ipad keeps rebooting itself on its own

My Ipad 3 just started rebooting itself on its own. I had the computer powered off and locked and then turned it on. It came on and then within 30 seconds shut itself down, only to reboot itself without me touching it. I am using 7.1.1, I am using AT &T as the carrier.
I have tried to reboot it holding down the on/off button and the home button at the same time as someone suggested that.

I Must be missing the significance of the computer is this discussion.
You could try restoring the device with iTunes on your computer.

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

IPad keeps rebooting itself after updating to iOS 8.3

Just updated an iPad 3 to iOS 8.3 from iOS 8.2 . Update took a while to install (over 20 minutes) and then the Apple logo appeared for a bit then the screen went black for about 10 minutes. The device was fine for a while and then started rebooting itself, hung on the Apple logo for about 10 minutes and now suddenly it came back. All apps were up to date. The device had not had any issues prior to the update. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!

No, this is definitely an iOS 8.3 bug, Allen. I have an iPad mini (original, 24/12 old) and an iPhone 5 (not S, 18/12 old). Updated both from 8.2 to 8.3. I keep them and the apps up to date and run a tight ship.
Since the update, the iPhone has been behaving normally.
However, starting immediately after the update, the iPad has been rebooting: when you plug it into the power and it goes to sleep, it reboots itself. This NEVER ONCE happened before the 8.3 update -- and I think I started with this iPad on iOS5 or at least 6, with all the updates inbetween. If you want to use it again shortly after plugging it in, you have to wait about five-ten minutes (as other have reported). So far, it has always rebooted successfully. But you do have to put in your passcode in response to "you have to enter your passcode upon rebooting" message; and tell it to trust your current computer connect once again.
It just now rebooted itself once again when plugged into the computer USB port, while in the middle of a sync (the screen went to sleep). Not happy about that; potential to damage data.
I confirm: this NEVER happened before 8.3, and it now reliably happens EVERY TIME I plug the iPad into power and it goes to sleep. I have three power sources (computer USB, individual Apple charger, aftermarket reserve battery charter) and it happens with all of them.
As far as I can tell, it only reboots itself once per charger-plugin, and doesn't do so again until you unplug it and plug it back in again (somewhat confident, but not 100% sure, of that).
Hope that helps. The bug needs squashing, and soon.

Hi, my iPad 2 startd tapping on its own. it keeps repeating the tap on the same spot. i can't seem to find any remedy for it except to switch off and on it again, and even that is a temporary fix. any ideas please?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.

Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later.

IPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi keeps rebooting itself

Good afternoon everybody,
As my subject already states. My current Ipad keeps rebooting. It's almost 3 years now and has the latest IOS just freshly installed on it because of the current rebooting. I've done a full restore of the IOS, full reset and full wipe of the device it still keeps on having this problem. Some days it will turn on some days it will not. it is still detected by windows when i plug it in a USB port.
Any suggestions on solving this problem or is my ipad just slowly reaching it's life cycle. it always lived in a smart cover and i might have gotten some bumps over the years.

When i plug it in my computer itunes says it's in recovery mode again. i've used it last night to check if everything was installed okay. It did. it took me 3 times to install it but at the end i did manage to reinstall my Ipad. but This morning when i watch a video from it, it constantly reboots and now it's in recovery mode.

After downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time? any idea how can it be rectified?

after downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time? any idea how can it be rectified?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

HP C4795 Keeps rebooting itself

My HP C4795 keeps rebooting itself randomly. I have it sitting there with the power on and suddenly it will beep, the screen goes black and the HP logo and loading line appears, it does this a few times over and over before it fully loads back to its menu screen. Pretty much does this daily randomly far as I can tell throughout the day. Any help or advice on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP C4795 Keeps rebooting itself. I am happy to look into this issue for you! Please, try a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by . It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Then, I would go through this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed, as it deals with power related issues. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) If neither options resolve your issue, then the printer will need to be serviced/or replaced.

My iPad mini is typing on its own, changing pages etc. what is wrong???

My iPad mini is typing on its own. The touchscreen seems to have taken on a life of it's own! Can anyone help me fix this?

Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy.

IPad frequently shuts off on its own

I was near the end of writing a long email today and the ipad suddenly shut off on its own. It has been happening for the past 3 days with other programs also, with the battery far from depleted. Is there a solution to this problem? Is there a way to save draft without closing the email? Possible to trade in for a new iPad with this reason?

When you type an email You can save a draft by tapping the word cancel in the upper left corner and an option to save draft or delete will pop up. Select save draft.
I assume that you mean that the apps are crashing and that the iPad is not shutting off on it's own. If you use an app and it crashes it takes you back to the home screen. If the iPad totally shuts down, the screen turns black and you cannot wake it by tapping the sleep button or the home button.
If apps are closing or crashing, try to download any free app - restart the iPad and see if that helps keep the other apps from crashing or closing. If it works you can delete the app if you don't want it.
Try closing apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. All of your recent apps will be across the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the left corner of all of the icons in order to close the apps. Tap the home button twice. Then restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
You could try resetting the iPad as well. Press and hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
If the iPad is totally shutting off - it could be time to restore the device.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly what should I do

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly, sometimes turning itself back on automatically but sometimes staying off, i have tried a system restore but has no effect, what should I do?

Do you have a case on the iPhone? Did you accidentally drop it or damage it in anyway?
You could try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as shown here -> iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
If that doesn't do it, the iPhone will beed to be sent back to Apple for repair, head on over to the Service Answer Center for the iPhone.
