My iPad mini keeps on rebooting on its own, any idea why?

my iPad mini started rebooting on its own about a few days ago.
it keeps on doing this after I use it for a little bit.
sometimes it is a few minutes, other times it may be after a while.
sometimes it happens when I just open the cover .

Checked and I bought it last October, so it is under warranty.
Chatted with Apple support and they asked me to restore to factory defaults.
Spent 40 minutes restore it to factory defaults and it still does it.
They made me an appointment for store tomorrow and if they can confirm it, they will most likely replace the unit.
I am glad it is under warranty, but it was very close to one year.
Hopefully this does not happen again in another year.
It seems to happen a lot when i use the cover.
So....is this a reoccuring problem with the magnetic cover switch???

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.

It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processor when its active any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually? And why is it so Heavy consuming ?

It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processus when its active.
Any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually because before last update i never encounter any issue using Itune? Now when that aplication or extention from Itune is working my computor froze to a huge alt. I play video games online and love listening to my music with itune playing in the background and normally was able to have firefox open and a program called ventrillo all working at the same time and now i can barelly have itune and play a game. As soon it start been choppy i just control alt delete wait 5 minute to close down apsdaemon.exe when i'm capable most of the time i have to restart my computor. And why is it so Heavy consuming on the process its memory utility is under the 100ko i believe so why 99% of my processus is been use ?
a good exemple i could give is itune.exe working it shows process 02% for 123 000ko that is light and perfect.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Mac Mini keeps shutting off on its own!

Okay Apple Discussion Users, Here is my problem. I have a Mac Mini from early 2008. As of May 23, 2009 the mini started to RANDOMLY turn off on its own. For what reason, I Don't know! I will be using it maybe searching the web, and BAM, OUT COLD. And I have no reason why it's doing this. Its not a heat issue because i just had my mini cleaned up(dusted out) and i use SMC fan control keeping my mini at about 98ºF to 120ºF most of the time. I have opened my mini and re-seated my ram sticks and it seems to STILL be doing the same thing. Sometimes the mini will even blank out. I will be searching the web listening to music or something and the screen will black out. but the mac will still be on. I just cant use it. I have even reset my PMU/SMC on the mini, that seemed to make the mini act really weird, right after doing that the mini turned on with a fan running FULL speed and the hard drive running FULL speed, WHY IS IT DOING THIS ?!?!?!?!
Help!

Proper steps to reset the mini:
# Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
# Restart (Control-Command-Power).
# Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds)
to reset the SMC:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Now if these to not work, the next thing i would try is uninstalling the fan management software and unplugging everything except the K/V/and mouse/

Good am. My iPad mini would turn off on its own in the middle of a video play or a game but opens when I reopen it. This happen frequently.

Hey NelanieA. Antoni,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
So your iPad turns off on its own. Take a look at this article. Even though it says iPhone the same troubleshooting steps apply.

Photoshop keeps crashing only seconds after starting, any ideas why?

Every time I open photoshop it works for a few seconds, maybe just long enough to open something, then it comes up saying something is wrong and it needs to close... I have no idea why!! Any ideas would be much appreciated!

How much available disk space do you have? Do you have a physically separate, dedicated hard drive for Photoshop's scratch file, or is your internal boot drive the only one you have? If the latter, you have to keep in mind that Photoshop's scratch is going to be competing with the only read/write head. Between both, you'll need truly oodles of contiguous available hard drive spaces (hundreds of GB).
What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Have you re-installed Photoshop by uninstalling the Ps install you have, then running the Adobe CS Clean tool and re-installing Photoshop from scratch?
Have you deleted or nuked the (most likely corrupted) Photoshop preferences files?
Sorry, but most of us here simply dismiss vague statement like "a tonne of this or that" or "everything is up to date". We need the exact version numbers and specs. Users are very often wrong about "everything being up to date".
"Around 16 GB" immediately arouses suspicion. Sorry.
If you had bothered to actually read the link in my first post here, you would know all that.
You would also know that you are not addressing Adobe here. From that link:

IPad Mini keeps randomly rebooting - started last week after downloading 8.3 - Apple logo keeps coming up with the reboot/download line below

- started last week after downloading 8.3 - Apple logo keeps coming up with the reboot/download line below. Seems to happen after opening a site to view information or pictures or.......

this is getting more & more ridiculous......and worsening by the hour. Now every click on a Pages file makes it reboot....and just trying to save some files prior to doing a total restore as not sure what gets saved in the "back up" prior to the restore. Am starting to love my 5 year old original IPad as slow as it is, even more....

I canon play video from my ipad through my Apple TV after downloading ios7 any idea why?

Is there any reason I can't play video from my ipad through Apple TV after downloading ios7?

Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

Cs6 keeps crashing right when it opens. any Ideas why??

Hey everybody,
I just bought adobe creative suite 6 design and web premium package, I`m assuming photo shop cs6 is fully updated, I just installed it two weeks ago and I have not had any problems so far.
I have windows 7 on a hp laptop which is bran new. today I went to open up PS and it immidiatly says cs6 has stopped working then it shuts itself down.
Please help.....I need to do my homework!!!

So you're saying it worked and now it doesn't?
People often get restored function by resetting all of Photoshop's preferences to defaults. To do that, press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately after cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough it should prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences. If it does not prompt the preferences are not reset.
As to why it should stop working... No one knows why on some systems preferences get corrupted. Did your system get shut down improperly at any point?
Have any Windows Updates been installed lately?
Have you installed anything else since the time it worked and now?

Safe Sleep! It keeps happening to my MBP. Any ideas why?

Whenever I move my MacBook Pro when it is asleep and off-AC, it will eventually drop into Safe Sleep.
There doesn't appear to ba a particular trigger, at least as far as I've been able to tell, other than to move it. It could be as simple as gently turning it over, or putting it into my laptop bag and bringing it home. Without fail, it goes into Safe Sleep.
If, however, I take it off power, put it to sleep and simply leave it sitting, it remains in simple sleep.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the sudden motion sensor being bad or overly sensitive. Here's the Console Log from putting it to sleep until it goes into Safe Sleep and, when I reopen it, awakes:

Why does my ipad mini keep glitching. We keeps randomly doing stuff on its own while on not even touching it? I've tried restarting it by holding down lock and home button about a thousand times, it never works. so could you please help?? thanks(:

why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:

Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW .... Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.

Since the iOS7 update, my iPad mini keeps turning its self off every 5 minutes of turning on or so. What can fix this?

Since the latest iOS7 update, my iPad mini keeps shutting off and on by itself every 15-20 minutes. I've reset all settings and this has still not solved this problem. What can I do to fix this?

Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

Ipad mini keeps shuting down randomly

my ipad mini keeps rebooting itself is there a way to fix it? i have try restoring it but that didn't work. its also keeps shutting down after 15 or 20 mins sometimes its freezes on the passcode screen and then it shutsdown with the apple logo showing up multiple times.

Hello Fogleman1295,
It sounds like you have restored your device from a backup, but it continues to turn off unexpectedly. I would try restoring the device one more time, but this time as new with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If the issue persists I would next seek service for your iPad:
