New ipad (4days) stuck in start, works for about a minute and then shuts down and restarts (loop)

New Ipad setup and worked fine for 4 days. 5th day it started OK and worked for about a minute. screen did a fade out and it restarted. It is stuck in this loop. I have tried reset, and then restore. It is still stuck in loop. After it up graded to newes version of iOS 5, it did a restore. I need to configure it like new set up, but it is still stuck in the restart loop so I can not complete. Battery shows 100% ( now down to about 96%). I am assuming this is a hardware not a software issue. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
If you have already tried restoring your device and have set it up as a new device (not from backup), then I suggest booking a Genius appointment, as yes, this may be a hardware issue.
If you let me know your name, nearest Apple Store, a date and time, and an email address, I can book an appointment for you, or you can use the link below.

Sorry about the trouble you've been though, I hope it can be solved shortly.

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.
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- 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.

In attempting to burn a playlist onto a new CD, iTunes seems to burn about half the tracks then shuts down and issues an error msg. (4900) - although that msg. has rec'd a lot of attn., there does not appear to be an adequate or workable fix or suggestion

In attempting to burn playlists onto new CD's, iTunes regularly completes half the burn, stops, ejects the CD and issues error msg. #4900. Although there appears to have been similar problems for some time, I cannot locate any suggestions for fixing the problem. I have installed the newest version of iTunes but that does not appear to have any effect on the problem. Thoughts?

I had the same problem after updating my DVD-Drive Firmware.
Disabling the Option to burn "CD TEXT" solved my problem. Hope that helps !!

My macbook pro will not start up. Its charging and fully charged but wont start. Was fine till yesterday when keyboard stopped typing and then shut down and now wont start up

If after an SMC reset it will not power on then I suggest you take it to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a diagnostic check and estimate of repairs.

My power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and now it has the symble of the firewire slot floting around the screen and i can not get it to start back up

my power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and know it has a symble floting around the screen like the firewirs symble and ot wont turn back on how do i fix it

It does sound like the T key is stuck.
One way to test to see if the keyboard is at fault is to disconnect the keyboard, then start up the Mac.
Note - on that model, you can force a shutdown by holding in the power button (the one on the front panel of the machine) for 8 to 10 seconds.
You can also force a restart by pressing the small convex (bulges out slightly) button under the power button on the front panel (it's the one on the left).

Connected Apple TV Box tonight and it said it needed an update. I ran the update, and it worked for a few minutes. Then all of a sudden, a screen popped up showing that I needed to connect via USB plug to my MacBook Air to connect to iTunes. Why??

I conneced the Apple TV and it worked fine at first. It has worked well for some time. We are using them in our school this year, as well as converting to all apple products. I have been able to pull up my computer screen through Apple TV onto our projectors. However, tonight when I started apple TV, the mirroring icon came up, and everything seemed fine. Then a message came up that the Apple TV Box needed an update. I clicked on the button to run it now, and it seemed fine. The mirroring worked for about 5 minutes after the update, then I got a screen that had a picture of the Apple TV Box and a USB cord directed toward a picture of the iTunes icon. The light on the frontof the component flashed, and I couldn't go to the menu at all. I wouldn't do anything. I no longer cold see the Airplay/mirroring icon on my computer either. I tried to shut everything off and reboot the computer and the Apple TV box. However, none of this worked.
Any suggestions??? I'm a high school football coach, and this is how our team will watch film this year. I really need to get this rectified by the end of the week, as our team will go into camp for the next two weeks.

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, and then shuts down, why?!

Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, gives the battery warning and then shuts down. I took it to an apple store, they said battery is fine, restored ipod to original settings and it still wont work! Help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. This time be more persistent.

TS2972 the homesharing on my apple tv works for about 5 minutes then stops working

I had to have my the hard drive on my computer reformatted and then reload all the programs. Since then when I pull up pictures on my TV through Homesharing, it works for about 5 minutes and then disconnects. I have extended the time until the screen saver comes on and the time for the computer to go to sleep, but it does not seem to make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

MSI Z77-G45 starts then shuts down and restarts

Hi,
I got a brand new MB Z77-G45, with an i5-3470, 2x4Gb Kingston DD3 XMP Blue, and a WD Green SATA 6Gb/s. All that into a Cooler Master N400.
Plugged everything into the MB, powered it and it starts, the 3 fans spin, the frontal led flashes, as well as the 4 leds on the MB but nothing on the screen (with the "no signal" message)
and then shuts down. And restarts again. Shuts down, restarts...
It run with an Advance 600W and all components are new. Any clue?
J.

Good news: a friend brough one stick of DDR3 and it worked! So now, it's just a matter of finding out if the Kingston I bought really is faulty, or if, as you suggested, it's a matter of updating the BIOS.
Either way, I'll post the update and hopefully along a [SOLVED]
Thanks a lot for your input, guys.

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

IMac Starts Up And Then Shuts Down ...

Hi ...
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me ...
I purchased an Apple 24" iMac about 3 years ago ...
It was pretty much working perfectly until 2 days ago ...
The last time it was fully operational I'd just switched the computer on for the day - opened iTunes - and was using the FINDER to find approx 600 MP3s to add to iTunes ...
Whilst the FINDER was searching for the MP3s the iMac froze ...
So I decided to RESTART the computer by holding the POWER BUTTON to shut the computer down ...
I gave the computer around 10 secs to shut down ...
Then when I pressed the POWER BUTTON to START the iMac again it reached the grey screen with the Apple logo and the rotating dial ...
The computer then started emitting an audible clicking sound as if it was searching for / organising data ...
The sound eventually stopped but the iMac froze on the grey screen ...
So again I decided to RESTART the computer by holding the POWER BUTTON to shut the computer down ...
I gave the computer around 10 secs to shut down ...
Then when I pressed the POWER BUTTON to START the iMac again it reached the grey screen with the Apple logo and the rotating dial ...
And froze again ...
I followed the instructions contained within the EVERYTHING MAC booklet ...
I tried holding the OPTION key whilst starting up ...
I tried holding down the COMMAND OPTION P and R keys to reset the PARAMETER RAM ...
I also tried holding down the D key whilst starting up to test the Apple Hardware ...
My iMac passed the Apple Hardware Test ...
However every time I now try to start the iMac it reaches the grey screen (Apple logo / rotating dial) and then shuts down after approx 1 minute ...
Is this simply a boot problem ? ...
What alternatives do I have to boot up / correct the problem ? ...
I'd be ever so grateful if someone out there could help walk me through alternative actions to take ...
Kind regards ...

Hello
Try target disk mode see if your mac shut down from this way , to do that
hold hon at start up "T" on key board just after startup sound until screen show a firewire logo as screen saver
and wait ..
if by chance you have a second mac you can use a fire wire cable to link it , in that way your mac is like an external hard drive , most easy way to recover data from it
Try start in single user mode , use COMANDE - S at start up
Try start in safe mode , use SHIFT key at start up
if in all case you mac shut down after 1 or 2 min of use , certenly mean a mother board and or powersupply problem
be sure to have perform SMC and PRAM reset at least 3 times each
HTH
