My iphone4 keeps shutting off on its own every 24-36 hours and I can't switch it back on unless I plug it into the charger n charge it. I didn't charge the iPhone for a long period the first time I used it and I charge it every night for at least 7 hours.

My iPhone 4 shuts down automatically and I can't turn it back on unless I plug it into charger and charge it. This happens spontaneously. I didn't charge it for a long time before using it for the first time and I charge it nightly for at least 7 hours. What is the problem?

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/

My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

When my mac finally turns on the date/time is reset a windows pops up saying, "Your computer's clock is set to a date before January 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erractically."

If you have Apple Care you should give them a call.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly what should I do

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly, sometimes turning itself back on automatically but sometimes staying off, i have tried a system restore but has no effect, what should I do?

Do you have a case on the iPhone? Did you accidentally drop it or damage it in anyway?
You could try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as shown here -> iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Unibody Macbook just shuts off on its own...

Late 2008 Unibody Macbook, all updates performed, running 10.7.2 / 2GB 1067MHz DDR3 on memory / 160GB HD
Issue #1 >
When not plugged in to the power adapter, it shuts off on its own sometimes after 5 minutes, and sometimes after 40 minutes... it varies. Battery percentage is always showing. (It's not one of those issues where it only works with the power adapter...) When it's plugged in or not, the battery tester on the side always says it's full... until it shuts off and then only one dot is lit. I would love to think I just need a new battery, but I'm confused because it always supposedly holds a good charge percentage wise until it decides to turn off when it's not plugged in...
Issue #2 >
Track Pad acts shady sometimes... most of the time it will work fine all around, but after a bit it will only click on the bottom right hand corner...
>>>> I bought this laptop from a friend, and according to him it was never dropped or ever had any liquid damage. It does not have Apple Care, so I'm praying that it's not a Logic Board issue and a somewhat an easy fix along the lines of getting a new battery and Track Pad... hopefully. This is the only info I can offer, and hopefully you guys can understand whats going on. Feel free to ask any question and I will answer as much as I can. Thank you for your time and help

PS- SMC Reset did nothing...

IPad frequently shuts off on its own

I was near the end of writing a long email today and the ipad suddenly shut off on its own. It has been happening for the past 3 days with other programs also, with the battery far from depleted. Is there a solution to this problem? Is there a way to save draft without closing the email? Possible to trade in for a new iPad with this reason?

When you type an email You can save a draft by tapping the word cancel in the upper left corner and an option to save draft or delete will pop up. Select save draft.
I assume that you mean that the apps are crashing and that the iPad is not shutting off on it's own. If you use an app and it crashes it takes you back to the home screen. If the iPad totally shuts down, the screen turns black and you cannot wake it by tapping the sleep button or the home button.
If apps are closing or crashing, try to download any free app - restart the iPad and see if that helps keep the other apps from crashing or closing. If it works you can delete the app if you don't want it.
Try closing apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. All of your recent apps will be across the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the left corner of all of the icons in order to close the apps. Tap the home button twice. Then restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
You could try resetting the iPad as well. Press and hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
If the iPad is totally shutting off - it could be time to restore the device.

Late 2011 model display problems: white screen and shuts off on its own

A few days ago my macbook pro (late 2011 model) starting going nuts. The screen would turn white or become pixelated all the sudden, even if all i'm running is Chrome. The laptop is not over heated. This is what would happen:
Screen goes white or become pixilated
Computer shuts off on its own after a moment
Attempt to reboot, stuck on apple logo screen (pixilated)
Shuts off on its own again
The only way to reboot is through safe mode.
I've tried resetting SMC and running an apple hardware check.

It's most likely the macbook pro 2011 denied by apple GPU problem many many others suffer from too.
you can read about it here if you have a few days.

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.

My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down and won't switch back on unless I plug it into charger. It's then coming hop iOS 6 and connect to iTunes?

Yes I've connected it to iTunes.. Reset the phone completely and synced phone again. It's also turned off twice today and when it comes back on its saying searching in the top left corner were your signal and network carrier should be?

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.

Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?
Thanks

System will shut off on its own?

I just bought my MAC about a month and a half ago and recently it has been "shutting down" on its own...then restarts or I'll be in the middle of doing something such as surfing the web and the screen will turn completely dark blue. I'll then have to hold down the power button in order to start it up again because doing command, alt, delete won't work. What's going on?

Issues booting are genenerally symptomatic with a corrupted operating system. I've seen this issue a lot recently with folks who have tried (unsuccessfully) to install the preview of iOS 7. If this is the case, once you get this issue resolved, I recommend you stick with iOS 6 until the new version is officialy released. If not then it just might be run of the mill corruption. Either way, you'll need to perform a DFU restore of the device. Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpinyGlQ8I for instructions on how to do this. It will delete everything, but this is likely the only option you have at this point. If you have issues doing this or if a DFU restore does not resolve your issue you should head to the Apple Store Genius Bar with an appointment (call, or go to apple.com/retail) and they will assist you!
