My iphone randomly turns off multiple times throughout the day. What does this mean?
My iphone will turn off anytime I try to use anything on it. This includes checking my email, listening to voicemail messages, using apps. What does this mean and what should I do?
Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation

Verizon iPhone 4 restarts itself various times throughout the day since the last update?
For some reason, both my and my mom's iPhones restart at the same exact time. It's weird that I notice this, but since it's been going on for weeks now, I realized that both phones restart multiple times after midnight each night. My iPhone has been restarting itself more than my mom's, probably restarting itself twice every hour compared to hers twice a day. It's really frustrating because if I'm in the middle of something, it will restart out of nowhere and won't save my work. It keeps getting worse. I noticed this problem happen after the iOS5 update. I really don't want to take both phones in to Apple, for the nearest Apple store is miles away. Is there any way to solve this problem? Both are Verizon iPhone 4s and have the latest software update.
It could just be coincidence... If you have the Weather Channel iPhone app installed, they released an update last week that contains a bug which keeps location services active all the time. It will drain the battery VERY quickly. You can either shut off location services for the app or delete it. It appears they have released an update to the app this morning that apparently fixes the problem (too late as far as I'm concerned. I'll never touch their app again after that fiasco).

Airport signal is lost multiple times throughout the day
i have a wifi network at my house consisting of my airport extreme router, my dad's PC (which is wired to it) and 2 iMacs. the only problem seems to be with my computer though. while my wifi signal remains strong sometimes i'll lose the ability to be online. safari will stop loading pages and any messenger convo's i have will be cut off due to loss of connection. when i check my network settings it says that i'm receiving a strong signal. the only way i've been able to deal with it is to turn the airport off from my computer and turn it on again. then it runs fine or at least until it decides to stop sending a signal.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!Is the computer near a television, DVD player or audio video receiver? Microwave oven? Keep investigating. Interference is hard to pin down.
Download Air Radar. You can use it free for a few weeks. Use the application to display all of the visible networks in your area. It's also possible that there are "hidden" networks in your area. Can't do much about that or the new security system that one of the neighbors installed.
You will see your network and others in the display. Look for the channel that your wireless is on and compare it to the other channels in use. If your network is on the same channel or a close adjacent channel to another network, this can be a source of interference. Post back if you need instructions on how to change your channel. Ideally, you want to be as far away from other channels as possible. If there are "hidden" networks around you, all you can do is try a few different settings to see if that helps.
If you have a desktop or the computer usually stays in the same place, there is nothing better than an ethernet connection. If you can't run the wires to the router, then take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters that use the wiring in your home to transmit an ethernet signal. This will be a faster and more reliable connection than wireless.
Please post back on your findings. -

My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes
There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work. Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device. -
my iphone has randomly turned off and i dont know why it did this? i have tried taking out the sim card charging it back up again. i tried turning it on and off but nothing is working?? i dont understand because my battery was full??
Plug in with Wall Charger for 30 minutes, it may start up on own. If not, keep connected to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until it starts up, usually less than 20 seconds time.

4 hours ago my iphone randomly turned off and now i cant get it to turn back on. Ive tried everything, trying to reset it, charging it but nothing works! the charging symbol doesnt even come up when i plugged in the charger. Please help!
Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

(PS: i know we could use 3G but i want to use wifi instead)I am having a really wierd issue as well that is probally related. I dont see 95% of the album artwork associated with my music. Also, it seems as if this has gotten worse since I started using that match feature

My iPhone randomly turns off by itself with battery remaining. I can turn it on the by hard restart. But sometimes it turns on at fifth, sixth, or more try. did anyone have this problem? and how can I fix it?
When my phone was off it wouldn't connect to iTunes, i got it working now though. I just had to hold my lock button and my home button down long enough. Thanks anyways though!

Does anyone have the safe problem with their iPhones randomly turning off...and having to plug it into the wall, or hold the reset buttons to turn it back on.
Try squeezing the phone right next to the vibrate/silence switch. Squeezing the glass to plastic in that upper left corner. Mine had a "loose connection" and the phone would just go dead. The "genius" squeezed right there and knew exactly what was wrong. He replaced it no charge, and it was about a week out of warranty. I asked him if it was common and he said, "no." I have to believe it is common. He didn't even finish listening to me and squeezed the phone and duplicated the problem. The replacement only has a 90 day warranty and is not eligible for applecare. At least I have a phone that works now...

My iPhone randomly turns off, mainly after I have been on the phone for 5 minutes or more, but it also turns off whilst playing games and sometimes even when it is just in my pocket doing nothing.
It can be really annoying during important phone calls or when I have been on hold for a few minutes and then just as I get through it cuts off.
It turns back on straight away, but I have to go through everything again.
It has done this since pretty much one month after I got it.
I have reset and I have all the latest updates, the support page doesn't seem to cover this problem.Assuming that your phone is not jailbroken or hacked in any way, restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure and you need evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

I turned my Iphone 4 off. When I went to turn it back on, up popped a silver screen that read Iphone with no service. My service has not been cancelled. What does this mean, please help?
If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -
hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

i 4 is hanging multiple times during the day / restarting. i have reset, reinstalled IOS7, the prob persists. taken to the pphone to the service centre. they reset it too. the problem stands. whatr to do next???
Hi Suzy Q,
I can send and receive calls.
I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
It runs slow.
I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
I get a black screen on occasion.
sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

Anyone have problems opening MPEG2 files in 10.7?
Thought 10.7.4 can open mpeg2 files, but says codec is missing. However same files can be opened by 10.5 Quicktime pro 7. Thought 10.7 had mpeg2 codec. Am I mistaken? Is there anyone who can open mpeg2 files in 10.7.4? Thanks Leo
