My iPad keeps restarting itself.

I turn my iPad 3 on, it shows me the apple logo and then starts to restart itself and does that over and over again. It never ends.

DFU Mode or Recovery Mode? There is a bit of a difference. Try Recovery Mode. Try it a few times if you need to do so. Disable your firewall and antivirus software as well when you attempt this.
If this still doesn't work, it's time to head to an Apple Store and ask for help.
Recovery Mode

Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

Fourth generation iPad keeps restarting itself randomly

My brand new fourth generation iPad (Wi-Fi+Cellular, 32 GB) keeps restarting itself randomly. I did the iTunes restoring procedure 2 times, the second one I also delete completely everything from the device before, in order to install the iOS 6.1 on a surely "new" device. I also avoided the iCloud synchronization and just download a casual app in order to test the problem. The iPad restarts again and again. Any suggestion? Anyone had the same problem here? Please share your experience.
Tomorrow I'll have an appointment with the Genius Bar. Hope it would be useful.

TY Mark, hope they would really help me and not just give me a factory refurbished unit.
I paid full price for a new one so i should get a new one. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service, not jokes.
Anyone knows something about the causes of this behaviour?

Why does my iPad keep restarting itself?

I recently updated to IOS 8.1 on my iPad mini a couple days ago(clearly a huge mistake), and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. How can I prevent this from happening?

Adding into my post, is there anything that is possibly causing it to do this?

IOS 6.0.1 caused my new iPad keep restart or show in black screen & few minutes later back to main page, may i know how to solve this problem?

I Have already update my new iPad to iOS 6.0.1. After that, I am facing a problem here, my iPad keep restart itself or show me the black screen then few minutes later back to main page, may I know what's wrong with my iPad?

Why does my iPad keep restarting at midnight?

My iPad keeps restarting itself at midnight. It doesn't matter what program is running.

Hey terrieil,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPad is restarting while you are using it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Ever since I updated my ipad to ios 7.0.6 it keeps restarting itself throughout the day, It switches off and then the apple logo appears but then it goes off again and the apple logo comes back on, it can do this four or five times before it comes back on properly. I got it for Christmas 2012 and it's worked fine I"ve had no problems with it up till now.

Hello there, mummyshipmunk.
You may want to try restoring your iPad to see if it will resolve this issue. The following Knowledge Base article outlines that procedure, and it can be found right here:

IPad keeps restarting

I've had my iPad for less than two months and it keeps restarting itself when I'm on it. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening or will I need to take it in to an Apple store?

Try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

If still no luck, take it to the Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it checked.

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?

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.

Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed

Dear all.
I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
Thank you.

Unfortunately yes. Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would. Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board. If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do) and you could try to do a fresh install, but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.

Itunes 10.5.0.142 keeps restarting itself on Windows 7, how can I turn this off?

All of a sudden, itunes 10.5.0.142 keeps restarting itself on Windows 7. I did not change any configuration settings on Windows. How can I disable this?
Thanks

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

N97 keeps restarting itself and turning itself off...

Hi everyone,
A few months ago I bought an N97 from England and I have some very annoying bugs and a few questions I’d like to ask.
First of all, the phone keeps restarting itself (it is now up to 5 times a day if not more!!!), and at night it even turns itself off (I mean I wake up in the morning and the phone is off).
The other bug is that I cannot exit applications through the “open apps” menu (which is accessed by long-pressing the menu button). When I try to exit an application through there the phone crashes.
I did hard reset, soft reset, formatted E drive (each of those several times btw) and none of this helped. I took it to the nokia care center (the only one in Israel BTW!) and they said that they’ve never heard of those problems and it shouldn’t happen, so they reinstalled my firmware. After that didn’t work, I came back to them and they tried reinstalling the firmware again (they thought something maybe went wrong last time) and that didn’t work either. So I gave them my phone and they had it for 2 weeks during which they tried solving the problem themselves (not sure If that’s true) and after they failed, they sent it to the nokia factory\manufacturer lab in Israel (or at least that’s what they told me). In the first few days everything seemed ok and the phone did not restart itself (that menu bug was still happening) but after less than a week the phone restarted itself again. So I called them and they said it’s probably a bug in the V20 software and they reported it to nokia head quarters in Finland (yeah right…). Anyways… the “restarting itself” bug frequency was decreased substantially for a while, but now it’s back to restarting itself several times a day and turning itself completely off at night (it even happened to me during the day once or twice already-which never happened before).
I’ve read that hundreds (if not thousands) of other N97 owners have those problems too but I couldn’t find a solution. Anyone have any ideas???
Now… during my search in different forums I searched the one in the nokia Israel website and I accidently came across a replay that said that the “exit an app through the open app menu” bug only happens when the phone language is set to Hebrew! And guess what?! HES RIGHT! I changed the language of my phone to English and I have successfully exited the music player through the “open app” menu without the phone crashing! WHAT THE FU** IS GOING ON?! As I said, I’ve came across many other users who have this bug and they obviously don’t have Hebrew on their phone. How does that make any sense?!. Although I have no problem with English I’m more comfortable with my phone language being set to Hebrew since I got used to the buttons locations and now they are all “backwards” which is really annoying! (for example just now I wanted to put a call on loudspeaker but hung up because the 2 buttons have now switched sides).
Anybody knows anything about those bugs and\or how to fix them?!
Now… I would like to ask something:
I’ve noticed that my C drive only has 35MB of free memory. So I went into “memory details” and I see that 12MB is taken by “SIS applications” and 25MB (!!!) is taken by “other files”. I should mention that I put all my files and install all my apps on the E drive when given the choice (only apps from ovi store don’t give you that choice).
Is there any way I can see which applications and files (if it’s even possible for individual files) are installed on C so I can delete some of them? When I go to “phone memory” through “file manager” and I manually open all the folders there (games, images, installed files, nokia, other, sound files and all those), they are all empty. I mean I have a few files on C but they are some sort of text files and they weigh pretty much nothing… most of the folders are completely empty (some have 1 or 2 of those text files). Please help me!
Since I’m already posting this message, anybody knows anything about V21?! Ive read about some update that’s coming out on the 28th, but when I asked nokia care about V21 they said they don’t know anything about it. Anybody has any information regarding V21?
Thank you!

1. Did this start shortly after you installed a particular application?
-no. in fact, just to make sure, after the nokia people re-installed my firmware (which deleted everything from the C drive) i formatted the E drive and did not install anything to see if it still happens. sure enough after 2 days, the phone restarted.
2. Did this start after a firmware update?
-yes. it never happened before the V20 version. (or at least i havent noticed that it happened).
3. Have you tried reinstalling the firmware through Ovi/PC suite?
-this is how i installed it the first time. altough everyone says its bad and you shouldnt do it and you should go to the nokia center and they will do it for you.
about this... i dont understand why nokia is giving us a tool to update our software for free... but then say "you shouldnt use that tool. go to your nokia care center and they will do it for you" which wastes valuable time and money (not surprisngly... my warrenty doesnt apply in Israel so i have to pay for that kind of stuff). nokia is the biggest cellphone company in the WORLD! why cant they give an international warrenty?!
*any idea why the "exit an app through open app menu" bug is only happening when the phone language is set to hebrew?! i mean thats very bizzare...
*so the update on the 28th is not the full V21 i understand...? will it atleast fix the self restarting and self turning off problem?! i mean i can handle not exiting an app through the menu (unless an app gets stuck and then its just annoying because you cant close it). but i cannot have a phone which turns itself off and restarts itself... that is just ridiculous.

Mac mini keeps restarting itself....

Hi,
I've just bought a refurb mac mini. The problem is it keeps restarting itself every so often. I've read a post from about a month or so ago saying that it could be something to do with RAM. Can anyone confirm that? I was just wondering if there was anything I could try before having to take it back the the apple store.
Thanks x
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There are a number of possible causes of random restarts, but RAM is certainly one of the more common ones.
Given that the unit has just been purchased, I would return it rather than try and effect a resolution yourself, particularly since many of the potential fixes involve opening the system up, and the common causes would indicate that the system had previously been worked on.

An oc4j instance keeps restarting itself.

Hi there,
We have a issue that an oc4j instance is keeping restarting itself. It will stop, start, and as soon as it's started, it will stop again like an infinite loop.
Is there any one experienced this and please share some insight about this problem.
Thanks,
Xingsheng

Hi lara7705,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the new device. Try to press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times. This is equal to taking the battery out. No data/settings lost
Observe if this happens when some particular application is open. If you notice a pattern, delete this application and see it makes a difference.
First of all please make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data lost but settings will be restored to factory state.
You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
If it's still the same, type in *#7370# followed by lock code. This is hard reset, phone memory will be wiped so make sure you have the backup. Restore the back up. If not all applications are restored, please re-download them from Nokia Store > My Stuff.
Hope the phone starts working normally.
