My iPhone 5 keeps on freezing and shutting down

Hi guys.
Around the end of April we decided to get an iPhone 5 from dialaphone.com. The phone was totally fine until about last week, when it started to lag and then, after a few minutes after being switched on, black out. We have tried to restore it using iTunes many times, but there was either two outcomes- it either has the same problem as before or has a continuous booting logo (on for five seconds, then off for five seconds, then on for five seconds, and so on.) Something notable is that instead of turning off, it had a completely blue screen. Also, there was another problem that developed after. If you successfully tried to turn the phone on, the amount of battery left in the phone would be stuck at that level, e.g if you turn it on and the battery in the corner says 66% when you turn it on, the phone's battery indicator would be totally stuck 66% even though the battery is draining.
We have taken it to many places, including EE (the carrier of the phone). We are planning an appointment for a Genius to look at it today. Somebody told me that the "software deleted itself", others say that the phone is overheating because of the very hot weather. If somebody could give us a mere suggestion, it would help ALOT.
Thanks,
Marcus

When you did the restore did you restore from back up or did you set up as a new phone?

IPod 4G keeps crashing, freezing and shutting down randomly

I think since the IOS7 update, my Ipod keeps on skipping songs, freezing on apps, crashing on apps and sometimes
shutting down randomly. I have tried deleting from multitask, and shutting down (which only works for like 10 mins).
How can I fix this? And repair is too expensive.

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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My 4s keep freezing and shutting down apps!

My 4s keep freezing and shutting down apps. Half the time I can't even unlock my phone because its frozen! Anyone else have this problem? This didn't start until I updated the software a few months ago (when they released the iphone5). According to my phone my software is up to date.

PLEASE HELP ......

Notes doesn't sync from my iPhone to my MacBook Air, and shuts down.

When I open up "Notes" on my MacBook Air, it freezes and shuts down unexpectedly. I want to sync all my notes from my iPhone to my MacBook Air like all other features using IOS devices. I figured I'd check on here first before calling Apple Care. I had a problem similar to this with iMovie, and I had to go to >GO> computer>Macintosh HD>Library>preference> and select something from the imovie.plist type file. I dragged and dropped that plist file to my desktop and it reopened as a fresh app. I then moved that plist file on my desktop to trash and opened up iMovie, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone help me with the "notes" feature, and to help keep it from not freezing and shutting down; that way I can sync everything from my iPhone to my MacBook Air.
Thank you so much.

Your signature says you have 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Is this correct? (If it isn't, please amend it to prevent confusion.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred).

Z30 freezing and shutting down

I am on my 2 nd z30 in 2 weeks and they have both had a problem with freezing and shutting down, sometimes in mid use and sometimes on its own, can anyone?

Hello soggy001
Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com
Make restarted the z30?
If your problem evidences the persistence
Apply a hard reset keep the power button for 30 seconds.
Regards.
I recommend you make a reload of the BlackBerry OS Link
Connect your z30 and run BBLink
Then go to preference and press the reload option software
Let the process do all your work, and then you start setting your BB
And load your backup.
And let us know if your problem evidences the persistence.
You must have the latest version of the BlackBerry Link installed.
Regards.

IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation

My IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation . Any thoughts or suggestions? Could this mean the motherboard is about to die? I have considered erasing the hard drive and reloading, but I'm unsure if that will help i.e. if I back up my IMAC using time machine, then I am just relaoding the problem when I use time machine to reaload........ Thanks!!!

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer and try -

You can also cross post over in the Intel iMac area regarding your motherboard concerns. Users who use the same model computer as yourself would know.

Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its related to overheating ?

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
I believe its related to overheating ?
iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
should I bring it to apple ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation. There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

Microphoto Freezes and Shuts Down During File trans

I just bought my Creative Zen Microphoto a week ago and was pumped when I got. It worked fine for a couple of days, I didn't have a problem transfering the music through windows media player 0. everything worked fine and i was really happy with it. however, after i uninstalled it and upgraded to wmp version the microphoto FREEZES and SHUTS DOWN during file transfers. I went to the recovery menu and reformatted it and cleaned it up. I tried it again and the same thing happened. It transfered about 25 songs and just froze adn does nothing. I have tried anything and everything . PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Thanks, Jon

Jason, thanks for trying your help but I'm thinking now it has something to do with the hard dri've failing. But that doesnt make since becase the player still turns on fine and it still works, like i can still use the radio etc. i just can' transfer music. i installed the windows media pack thing and that didn't work. i just don't know what to do anymore. should i install the creative software that i got with my player or would that not matter? i deleted it i just think that it would not matter. it didn't seem to work when i had it installed i stil had the same problems. i just don't know what to do right now jason i am running out of ideas?

Why is my 2010 macbook pro freezing and shutting down every time I start it?

Today, after using my macbook pro to upload pictures from my iphone, my computer started having problems and shutting down. The screen goes gray and a box pops up saying that a problem exists and that I need to restart my computer. I've only had the macbook since last November, so I don't understand why I've been having so many problems with it. This happened a few times to a lesser extent in Senegal when I was there for 5 months. I used a mac power adapter so I don't think it could be an over-charge problem.
Please help!

Sounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
One of these devices could be causing it.
Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
Select your language.
Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit.

SATELLITE P205D-S8804 ; FREEZING AND SHUTTING DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY

This has been a wonderful piece of technology for the first 2 1/2 years. Around this time last year it started to freeze and shut off ( a couple of times a day). So I went out and got a cooling pad . That stopped it from shutting off but it continued to freeze up. Also, tried re-installing the software. Now it is to the point that I didn't think I could get this message out before it happens again . H E L P   ME   PLEASE   .........

That's good, because we can make experiments. What happens after you boot this way?

2. Normally into another account. Create one if necessary.

Recent freezing and shutting down every down 10-15 minutes and hard to log in to internet very slow

My son has 2009 Macbook white version and recently (last week or so) freezing all the time, cannot log on to internet, and shuts down every 10-15 minutes. Is there a download (free hopefully to clean it up for any spyware or maleware). He is a student and very busy in University and cannot be without the computer?

He will need something to back up onto like an external hard drive. The disks are necessary if the hard drive needs to be repaired, you can't repair the boot volume so you need to start up from an install disc and run Disk Utility from there. When you talk to him have him resettle SMC and pram, sometimes unexpected shutdowns can be corrected that way. The freezing is another issue, I'm concerned with the health of his hard drive. Another thing to ask when you talk to him is how much total space and how much free space does his hard drive have?
To reset the SMC
MacBook and MacBook Pro
Laptops with a battery you can remove
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Newer Mac portables with a battery you don't remove
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
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 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.
