The iPad 2 will randomly shut off but will resume it's session with the press of the home button. How do I permanently keep this from happening? The battery isn't low so I don't know why it is doing this. It happens while I am actively using it.

Please respond.

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

    After I upgrade maverick my display will suddenly shut off but my sounds is still working. Need help on this? Thank you

    Hello rodamitjr,
    It sounds like your iMac display will turn off unexpectedly, but you can tell the computer is still on because you hear audio.
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    Hey p0507!
    Here is an article that addresses your error message, and can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • Iphone 6 randomly shut off and will not turn back on - help!

    I bought my IPhone 6 last fall from T-Mobile.  My iPhone 6 was working just fine about an hour ago.  Went to hit the home button to check the time and it would not turn on.  It appears to have randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on.  Tried holding the power button - nothing... same with the home button.  Assuming I need to take it in for service, but I'm not sure if there is some easy fix for this.

    Good Afternoon, robmarshall6,

  • Airport Randomly Shuts-Off; Reboot Will Temporarily Solve The Problem

    Ever since I've bought my Mac (July 2010) I've been having trouble with the Airport. I'll be browsing the net and all of a sudden my pages won't load, it just stops. The Airport icon in the menubar shows full signal, but when I go into System Preferences it says that my Airport if "Off." When I click the button to turn it on it acts like a dummy button, it just doesn't do anything. I can click it twenty-times and my Airport will still be off.
    I doubt this is a router problem as I have tried this with various routers at various places. I took it into the local library, a hotel, a local gas station that has Wi-Fi and it continues to happens. Not to mention that the Airport itself shuts off. This really ***** when you're in the middle of a 1GB update and it just stops...then you have to start over.
    After I do a complete reboot the Airport is on again, well most of the time. Sometimes it just stays off and I reboot it again. Sometimes it stays on for three-days and sometimes it stays on for five-minutes and I have to reboot six times or so until it stays on for a while. The average is about 30minutes until it shuts down again.
    I've tried reinstalling my operating system, delete preference files, deleting my Airport connection and then recreating it, updating my Mac, trying different firewall settings, I tried booting in 64bit mode. Nothing seems to work. I tried an Apple Hardware test two times. One time I just did it and it reported no problems. The second time I waited until it shut down but it reported nothing, although I think it's because I rebooted and the Airport was "fixed" and it detected nothing.
    I thought this was just something temporarily when I got my Mac so I waited and didn't call support. After 8months I decided to call support and they want $50 to try to diagnose it for me, which isn't fair because it happened from day one and I just thought an update or something would fix it. Not to mention, that a Genius Bar will look at it for free (two hours away from the closest one). Any hints, ideas, or tips? Thanks.

    Sorry for bringing this ancient thread back to life.
    Back when I originally posted this, I did take your advice. I drove 2.5hours to the nearest Apple store and left it overnight for them to do diagnostics. They could find nothing (or so they claimed) and have me drive back up the next day to get it.
    Ever since I've been dealing with the issue. Finally I broke down and bought a new Airport card and antenna. It worked about a day and then the same issue appeared again.
    I'm now on 10.8.2 with 8GB of RAM and an SSD – still the same laptop though.

  • Pm-suspend will shut off, but no resume hook initiates on wake up

    I've been trying to get my samsung n110 netbook to suspend and resume properly.  However, I noticed that whenever I suspend it, it works fine, yet after I hit the power button the hdd light flashes briefly, and then nothing happens at all.  According to the pm-suspend.log file, it never even gets the wake-up signal.

    Sat Aug 29 15:19:56 GMT 2009: performing suspend
    I'm at a loss of where to go from here.  I have tried a few quirks, but none of them seem to help.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated,
    Lswest

    1. I tried --quirk-vbestate-restore and another one I can't recall anymore but I saw it on the forums (I believe it was in the Samsung Nc10 thread).  I believe it was also something to do with vbestate.
    2. I have booted with that kernel option, and will try suspending in a minute, I will edit this post with the result.  *edit* No dice, same happens as before, and I believe my BIOS is up-to-date, but I'll check that later.  Thanks for the suggestions.
    Thanks for the reply,
    Lswest
    *EDIT* Also, I don't know if it matters, but I doubt the problem lies with the BIOS, as Windows and Jolicloud (as well as Ubuntu) manage to suspend/resume properly.  I think it's most likely a configuration/kernel problem.
