My iPad shuts down on it's own and will not wake up unless you plug in. It happens at all levels of charge

My iPad shuts down at all levels of charge on it's own. The only way to wake it up is the plug it in. Once plugged in for a few minutes the apple icon appears and then hitting the wake button will start it. Nothing else seems to work. I have tried re booting , re setting and charging to 100%. Works fine for a while then just shuts down. It is only about 8 months old.

Bizarre to say the least. You may have a funky or corrupt app that is giving the iPad the "willies". Maybe if the iPad begins to function normally again you can isolate the problematic app - if one does in fact exist. I know this is a bit cumbersome, but if you can remember which apps were in the task bar, as you go to use them, just make note of when the problem arises again and if it occurs right after using one particular app, you may have found the culprit.

My screen on my 4th generation ipod touch turned blue shut off automatically & wouldn't come back on,tried recharging over night no change?? Unable to fine my serial number because it will not turn on and back number is rubbed off?

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful time for an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store.
To find SN see:
iPod: How to find the serial number
Also, if you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and hover the mouse pointer over the iPod backup the SN will appear..
Also, if you go to iTunes>Help and click on About iTunes with the Control button pressed, the SN will scroll in the About iTunes panel.

HT201210 My iphone 4s completely shut down to a black screen and will not come on after I received the restore iPhone message.

Tried restore through Apple ITunes software and received an error message unable to restore device. Now my phone will not turn on at all. Yet it is charged. I can't do anything.

my imac (intel core i5, OS 10.10.1) shuts down every night and will not "wake up" next morning -- it never used to do that -- if I hold down the start button more than twice for many seconds, then it will finally boot up and works fine all day – I’ve tried shutting it down and unplugging it, and that does not work -- I’ve run disk utilities checked permissions, and run anti-virus and get no adverse results – I cannot figure out what is different that causes this problem

From previous experience 3 indicates a shutdown initiated by the SMC (System Management Controller) — hardware responsible for many low-level functions including power, sleep, lights, and fan activity.
Try resetting it:
Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it. Is anyone else having this problem? What is causing it and what helps to restore normalcy?

Try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers and see if that zooms it back out - and if it does set Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'. If it doesn't zoom you back then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
I hope how they helped me is the same for you. Good luck.

I have changed my email address and apple ID online, but the iPad keeps bringing up the old address and will not log into my apple ID

I have changed my email address, and apple ID online, but my iPad keeps bring up the old address and will not log into my Apple ID

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

Watching Apple TV from I pad,iPad shuts down after approx 7 minutes and I have to restart. Can I stop this

When trying to watch Apple TV from my iPad,film or sport, after approx 7 minutes the iPad shuts down and I have to reconnect. How can I stop this happening

it's your network that is not stable
I would troubleshoot the general network setup look if the router had the latests firmware
if the wifi channel was the default one then I would change it as other near by wifi networks using the same channel would interfere
if the wifi router supported it then I would switch to 5Ghz wifi as the 2.4Ghz frequency is a pretty busy frequency
and I would place the wifi router a place where it would provide best possible cover for the devices
and I would try to see if connecting the appletv by ethernet to the wifi router would provide a more stable setup

TS3274 My iPad shuts down on various games, apps and sometimes it also freezes up on me and not sure why can anyone help me?

My iPad shuts down on various apps and games and sometimes it also freezes up on various apps and games. I was wanting to know if anyone else has had the issue and if u got it fixed maybe could tell me how to fix mine.
Thank you

Try this.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
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.

iphone 4 - tried to update to 6.1.2 and phone wont turn on now

My iphone 4s keeps shutting down on it's own and seems to restart itself. Pressing the home button or trying a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. Is anyone else having problems like this?

My iPhone 4s keeps randomly shutting down. It usually does this after it's been sitting in sleep mode for a few minutes. Pressing the home button or attempting a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. It seems to turn on on it's own. It has done this since I got it and seems to be doing it more frequently. I've only had the phone for about 2 months.

IPad is no longer synced to iPhone and will not send iMessages

The first thing that happened after the upgrade to iOS 8 was the iPad and iPhone was no longer synced for iMessages. I have an iPhone 4 (no iOS 8 for that phone). After one month of this issue, my iPad is now not sending any iMessages unless I go through email.

Hey emfgsc,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iMessage across your iOS devices. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information that you may find helpful:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Mac wont shut down,log off,restart, dashboard and spotlight not working fro

Hi I keep getting this problem..
I cannot log off, restart, or shutdown randomly. I am using Leopard v10.5.7, with all other updates. Also I cannot get dashboard or spotlight to start off the keyboad shorcuts.
I have to hold the power butt=on for more than 10secs to shut it down, which I do not like doing.
I have repaired permission, stopping apps staring automatically on log in. removed all cables to reset SMC etc etc.
It doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes it does. Reason I have to close my Mac down is my wife and kids use Boot Camp with Win XP on.
This is now starting to annoy me, can someone please help, I've had my Mac 18months now, 1st one ever, so am still learning, especially when things go wrong or dont work, as I didn't expect this on a Mac!!
cheers

HI,
Try booting from your install disk and checking the hard drive for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
Carolyn
