Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

  • My iPad shut off for some reason.  The battery was charged.  I couldn't get it to turn back on until I pressed the on button and home at the same time.Why did that happen?

    I had trouble upgrading my iPad2 toiOS 5.1.I have had it for about 1 year.  I had never upgraded it.  I tried a few times but I kept getting a message that I would loose everything on my iPad if I did.  I bit the bullet andfigured that I would restore it from the back up on my laptop.  Some of the backup files were corrupted.  I was unable to retore my exchange email or my notes from the noted app.
    Today, my iPad shut off for no reason and I couldn't get it to turn on again, even though the battery was 70% charged.  I had to press the on button and home button to get it to come back on.

    I'm not sure what problem you are experiancing but it would be well worth contacting apple.
    If you have had it for less than one year it should be covered under warrenty

  • We were on our computer and it just shut off for no reason. any suggestions?

    We were on our computer and it just shut off for no reason. any suggestions?

    You haven't provided any valuable data, it could have been a power problem where the computer is plugged in. Personally I use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) when I plug in my computer for just that reason.
    BTW when posting please complete your profile so we know what kind of iMac you have and the version of OS X. Also what were you doing when the computer shut down.

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Maybe the replacement is defective.

  • Iphone shutting off for no reason.

    Over the past few weeks, my Iphone has been shutting down, or turning off, for no reason.  I have tried to reset the device using the Apple method where the home and sleep/wake buttons are pressed and held together, still will not turn back on.  Last time this happened it took about four hours before the phone would turn back on.  Why is this happening and what can I do to fix this problem?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • Iphone 4s suddenly wants to shut off for no reason

    Hi,
    my iphone 4s has started doing some strange things recently:
    1 - tries to shut down for no reason
    2 - does not always want to shut down when I press the on/off button
    3 - sometimes no music comes out of the speakers but ringtones and alarms do....all is properly set so I have no explanation
    Can someone help me ?
    Any idea what the problem is ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh and I have tried a hard reset without any success

  • Macbook shutting off for no reason

    So a few months ago, when I put my macbook to sleep, I would have problems with what I believe to be the harddrive spinning. I would put my computer to sleep and a sometimes a second and sometimes an hour later the hard drive would start spinning and wouldnt stop until I shut it off. Now, rather than putting my computer to sleep I always turn it off. Recently, one of 3 things has started to happen when i turn my computer back on.
    1. It runs perfectly
    2. It shuts off after about a minute, then once I turn it on again shuts off more and more frequently until it refuses to turn on. At this point, I have to leave the computer shut off for 5-10 minutes before turning it on, and at this point, it usually runs fine.
    3. It runs perfectly until I open a second program, or a program that takes up a lot of memory. This will continue to happen until again, I leave my computer shut off for 30 minutes or so, then turn it on again.
    I have been told that it may be a problem with the battery, but I don't understand how as I always keep it fully or almost fully charged, and also, when this problem happens it is typically plugged in. (The problem continues if I unplug it also) Also, once my macbook stops shutting off, and I turn it back on, I can unplug it for quite a while and the battery seems to work perfectly.
    I also have a problem with a crack on the right side of the mousepad, right along the edge of my macbook, but I don't think thins could lead to any of these problems, as I have read about so many people with the same problem.
    If anyone has any suggestions or has heard about anything like this happening, i would really like to hear about it, thanks.

    1) Reset the System Management Controller. To do this, shut down the Mac, unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery and then hold the power button down for 7 seconds. Then reconnect everything.
    2) Next, reset your NVRAM by holding controloption+pr when you turn the mac on. Continue holding those keys until the computer reboots a second time.
    3) If that does not solve the problem, insert the first of the two DVDs that came with your MacBook and reboot the machine while holding the D key. This brings up the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test and see if it finds anything. Do this with nothing but the AC adaptor connected to the computer.
    4) The cracking case is a recognized defect in the MacBook. If you call Apple or take your computer to your local Apple store, they'll replace it free of charge.

  • IPhone wont turn on after shut down during update

    i was updating my iphone 4 to the new update the ios 6. i didn't think the update would take as long as it would i had been waiting an hour and it still was not finished. I needed to call people so i figured i would turn it off and contiune with it later. However, instead of turning back on it just shows the apple logo for a few seconds and then goes black. It keeps doing this until i press the home and power button together to get it shut off. I have tried plugging it in a putting it back to factory settings, holding the power button and home key together, charging it and nothing is happening. It doesn't even get reconigze when i plug it into the comupter. If you have any suggestions or something similar has happened please help me. I would go to verizon wireless or something but i am a college studnet where nothing is around for miles and i don't have a car so.... please help i need this to get in touch with people.

  • Iphone wont turn on after iOS8 update

    I was updating my Iphone with iOS8 update through iTunes on my laptop it went all through until the end i unplugged my phone as it wasn't doing anything then it come up with iTunes logo and charger logo and now it wont turn on at all, I've tried holding the top button and home button and charging it, nothing is working! help me!

    I eventually got it to work by constantly, over and over again,  plugging the iPhone into the mac with my finger on the home butting until one time it recognised it then I went through the factory reset setting for it to just drop off the iTunes pane and jam on me again. I did the same thing (I know the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result!) again until it recognised it again and thankfully this time it went through all the factory reset process and updated, losing unsaved videos of my sons birthday party the day before in the process ( I thought they got saved to the cloud too, but apparently they don't!) so thats how I fixed it.........that was last Thursday......Today I thought it would be safe enough to update my iPad and guess what? I have been sat here now for an hour, same thing, the update came down, the iPad was prepared for update, the screen went on to the logo screen the bar got to 100, the device disappeared from the iTunes pane and the iPad is stuck in the restart screen!!!! Its been that way for an hour now!!! I am not a happy bunny!!! now I will swiftly be going over to the iPad forums to see if there is any info there about it or should I just try what I did with the phone???? Either way this *****!

  • Macbook Pro wont turn on after suddenly shutting down. PLEASE HELP

    I was working when both the charger light and computer went off suddenly. I did the same click sound it does when holding the power button to force it to shut off. Since then its dead to the point that when I connect the charger the little orange/green light doesnt turn on nor does the computer nor does the battery meter on the side of the computer. Battery was perfectly good holding charge and it was full.

    I did an appointment which I will attend to. But that's for Monday as they were pretty booked. I called the store and asked whether I could just walk in and wait for someone to miss their appointment, the lady said over the phone they would take care of walk ins too, so I took the chance. This is my working tool, without it I was off completely so I needed a solution asap, not for next week. But I soon as I walked in they come up saying they were not taking walk ins. That's what got me upset, their saying yea come over and once there Oh sorry we r not taking walk ins.
    Hope I made that clear this time.
    So the sim is still there, I wouldn't want to try and get it out, so for that I'll wait till Monday. Meanwhile I need to figure out what caused that to see what I do with the computer or how to avoid that from happening again.
