Short term, intermitant turn off?

Hi, I am a new MBA user. I am having an issue and can't seem to find an exact answer here yet. My MBA at random times, but mostly within 20 min. of start up will suddenly just go black? It lasts about 3-5 seconds and then resumes as normal. It does not seem to be an overheating issue, my fan is not running hard when it happens. I am planning to take it back to the Apple Store to have them look at the problem, but thought I would see if anyone here had a similar experience and or a fix for the problem?

So I took the MBA to the Apple Store for a look........ the genius and I scratched our heads for a bit then he figured it out. Turns out my magnetic bracelet was causing the sensor to put the MBA to sleep every time I passed over it with my wrist! I felt a little stupid, but very happy it was nothing major. I love my MBA!

My Iphone says No Service then shortly after will turn off then back on.

Ive had this iphone for about 2 years. It is in perfect condition. i was using it all day the day it started messing up. I was taking pictures and i was uploading them to facebook. My facebook became slow and not working right so i restarted my iphone and all of a sudden in the corner it says NO SERVICE. I wasnt really trippen about it because i have a prepaid sim card in it that i havent paid in 2 months or so. But it shortly turned off and turned back on by itself. It was doing that until the battery died all the way. That was when i got kinda scared.
Today i plugged it into Itunes and restored it. it still says no service. but it hasnt turned off yet. Im waiting for it.
Can anyone tell me why its doing this?
PS. I absolutaly have not dropped it in water so it cant be water damage.

Hello,
Is it really an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1? I thought it was no longer supported.
I had that occurred to me before but I restored it from an existing backup and the problem went away. If you could, you can try and upload your crash logs from ios 5+ and see what is causing the restart.
If there is nothing to lose (e.g. Data), then you can see if a full restore (e.g. Set it to factor settings) will help. Below is a link:

I hope this helps but please feel free to wait for others to input.

I am having trouble off and on with getting my Iphone 4 to disconnect calls. I've tried everything I know short of completely turning off my phone. People on the other end will ask me to hang up and I can't so its very frustrating.

I have not heard of others having this problem but it is beginning to really annoy me.

Which PowerMac is experiencing the issue ? (It's a powermac forum)
Which Mac OS ?
and which AirPort software version ? (use Get Info on AirPort Utility)
Which encryption method are you using on the Mac ? (it's been known to get it wrong)
ie. WEP 40-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA, WPA2, WPA2 Personal (open Network Prefs, select AirPort and click Advanced).
Which encryption method are you using on the WiFi network ? Be exact.
There's a big difference between WPA, WPA2 and WPA2 Personal (and a few others).
Does the WiFi device have any filtering on it ? That could be anything from MAC address filtering to only using the wireless N protocol, which may xclude your wireless G (or wireless B) PowerMac.

Ibook g4 suddenly turns off!?

With the battery fully charged and unplugged, it will suddenly turn off and wil have to wait a few minutes before it can reboot. Works just fine when plugged into the wall but as soon as you unplug it it will only work for a short time and turn off. Anyone have an idea about what's happening? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

When it turns off, if you press the battery check button on the backside of the battery, what do the status LEDs on the battery show? (If you don't get four green lights, your battery may be worn out.)

HT4623 Cannot turn OFF "Zoom" on iPad 4 with iOS 8

Zoom will not turn off after installation of iOS 8 on my iPad 4.

griff:
Thanks. Yes - your reference leads to the same place that I was taken to after calling an Apple tech.
Turning off "Zoom" from iTunes worked. It allowed proper use of another App - PAPER by Fifty Three which apparently has a bug (currently) related to the Zoom feature in iOS 8 and the iPad. They're working to fix it and I'm sure they will shortly.
Meanwhile, turning off Zoom from iTunes was a slightly more obscure way to accomplish it, but successful, where trying to turn it off from the General>Accessibility reference did not work.
Appreciate your response.
Regards.

Bluetooth turns off

The bluetooth turns of automatically when i turn it on
Just after 10 seconds
And when i send afile also after short time it turns off by itself

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Xperia Z3 Turning Off Randomly

I've had my Xperia Z3 for six months and all was working fine, was really happy with the phone. Until about 2 months ago the phone started intermittedly turning off, I would press the power button to switch back on which wouldnt work for about 5 minutes. The phone would work again for 10 minutes and then the same thing would occur
Battery was fully charged, software was all up to date. After advice from customer support I performed a factory reset and the same problems occured
Since then I have put the phone in for repair and it came back after a couple of days with the fix notes of "software reset"
The phone worked again for a couple of weeks but recently has started to do the exact same thing. I've just put it in for repair again after going over all of the same questions and scenario's as I did the first time around
I've read on some other forums that people were experiencing similar issues but can't see a thread representing the problem here. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Hi,
Sorry to hear that you experience issues with your Xperia Z3. It's hard to pinpoint what the cause can be in these scenarios, since it can be several things. For example:
- Third party apps.
- Corrupt data (from old backup or similar).
- SIM/SD-card.
Of course it can also be a hardware issue, but what a service center always will do is to reset the phone with the latest software to see if the phone functions as normal. If you still experience this behaviour after the service, I first suggest that you try to use the phone without an SD-card and/or another SIM-card.

HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?
When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

Insignia 32" Shorted out after turning it off from a electrostatic shock

I went to turn off my tv manually and received a shock I am not sure if it came from me or the tv but the tv immediately turned off. Now it has power but the tv doesn't actually appear on. The green power lot just flashed when you plug it in. I unplugged it over night and tried this morning and the same thing occurred.
I believe it is still under warranty but I cannot find the receipt anywhere after hours of looking. I need help with what I should do next to ensure I can get my tv fixed as this is a common problem with LCD's.
Can someone please help me with how I go about getting my warrantly information and what steps I need to take to get my tv repaired.
Thanks for any help!

The store should be able to pull up the receipt. How did you pay for it? Are you a reward zone member? The only method of payment that will be a problem is a cash payment if you are not a reward zone member.

IMac turns off as if it short-circuits?

I've only noticed this happening when I'm using Photoshop CS5...
I have an iMac 27" with:
Intel Core i5
2.8 GHz
16GB Memory
(Mod identifier: iMac11,3)
WHEN I USE PHOTOSHOP, and I use the free transform tool to enlarge (only when I enlarge) an image, the computer turns off completely, instantly without any warning. Just straight to 'OFF' mode. I have to start it again with the power button. No reports of unusual behaviour come up on the screen, it just shuts off as if there has been a power cut. Nothing else shuts off from the power supply, just the iMac so I know the problem is definitely internal (within the iMac).
I'm really struggling with this problem.

Hi Miriam, thanks for the reply!
I'm afraid I'm not too tech-savvy, so I wouldn't know how to check my space on the drive. But this has happened since I got the computer (1 year ago), so I doubt it. Here is what the 'Console' said - make any sense to you?

My razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

my razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

raamw,
My wife has the exact same phone and I have the razr HD (basically the same, just larger screen etc).
We have run into the same thing a few times, and as stated above by Callie I have found it is a dead battery issue. BUT unlike my previous phone (Droid incredible) that I could usually plug in, wait a few minutes, then at least turn on and use while plugged in, I have found for the M and mine it really took a bit to get it charged. Kind of like as long as there is some battery you are ok, but once it dies it takes a bit of charging.
ALSO - I am going to perhaps not use the right terms or words for this, but I THINK (emphasize think) at least once it wasn't enough to use one of the lower amp chargers. at least on mine. tried to charge and charge and didn't seem to work. Finally I took a charger that I normally need to use for my daughters tablet and use that then it had enough kick. I will note I think that was the issue.
regardless each time yes it took awhile before we could turn them on. ALSO it seemed like it took a much longer time in holding the power button down. BUT eventually they started up and we were good to go.
we love our phones, she especially loves the size of the M. BUT we have learned in the short 2-3 months we have had them, if possible, don't let the thing drain all the way. just seems to cause a bit of a hastle

How to turn off data on iPhone since recent iTunes carrier setting update?

In the past few days my iphone has been using 3G for data and I have no control over it. At home it is connected to my wifi internet which has always been the case and which is fine but when I leave home it turns on data via 3G and there is no way off easily turning it off short of going into aeroplane mode or turning phone off altogether. I Only became alerted when I got an sms telling me my balance was low on my prepaid (with Telstra) when I knew I should have had plenty of money left on balance. Lucky I've only had about $20 used - how am I to know the phone in my pocket has been always connected. The problem has arisen since a carrier setting update a few days ago via Itunes. I can turn off 3G but then the phone just reverts to 2G and the data keeps flowing !
There is no where to alter the cellular data network or APN settings since I installed a 3G sim .... previously with a 2G SIM you could enter cellular data network menu and enter APN username and password but these have both gone.
This is a major problem and could be very costly if someone does not realise it quickly .
Any solutions .... will speak to telco later today but they will inevitably deny an responsibility as they do !

Unfortunately this may be contrary to the terms of the agreement that I have just agreed to so as to be able to participate in this thread but I consider the inability to limit the data access, to provide the owner with the option to explicitly authorise data access requested by an application as not just "bill shock" but THEFT. We require some consumer advocacy.
I am a prepaid client who only wishes to use the data based apps when wifi is available. The workaround that worked until two days ago was amending the APN but now, on an iPhone purchased at the Apple store in Sydney and presumably an officially unlocked phone, no longer displays the APN option. Despite being very aware of the vulnerable state of the phone and the need to avoid any data based application I yesterday I still managed to incur two unwanted data charges of $18 and $9. I consider that THEFT. Even on a data plan I would be unable to satisfactorily control data usage.
When the unwanted data exhausts my current prepaid balance, as it has several times in the past, I will have to convert my iPhone into an iPod Touch and obtain another phone. I certainly will investigate whether Android permits controlling data access.
I am very disappointed as I believe the range of apps provides a compelling argument for the iPhone but the customer's inability to control data usage is unacceptable.
