  • IPad shut off and won't turn back on. Any suggestions ?

    I have the first IPad. My iPad shut off at 72 percent battery life and won't turn back on.
    Any suggestions on what I can do ? Is it fixable ? Do I need a new Battery ?

    Not charging.
    1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

  • My iPad shuts off when browsing the web

    When browsing many web sites my iPad shuts off -help

    Clear Safari. Close all apps on the iPad. Then reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When my Gen 6 nano fades to black the unit shuts off completely and the music stops. is there any way to fix this?

    When my Gen 6 nano fades to black the unit shuts off completely and the music stops. Is there any way to fix this?

    Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.
    You posted this in the iPod Touch forum, when you should have posted this in the iPod Nano forum.

  • Ipod shuts off right in the middle of a song

    I don't understand why my itouch stops playing right in the middle of the songs i play as if it shut off the itouch.  Not sure why it does that???

    Try #2 and 3 in link below. If neither help, contact Apple for service. You most likely have a hardware issue.

  • 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

  • My iPad shut off what do I do?

    My iPad shut off and will not turn back on.  I stopped using it with 90% battery left.  I haven't dropped it, and it has not been damaged by water.  It won't work on or off the charger; it actually doesn't charge at all... It was only a year old, and it's like it completely died... PLEASE HELP

    Try doing a reset, Hold both the Home button and the Sleep button down at the same time, wait for the apple log to appear on the screen. 
    The slide to power off screen will appear before the Apple logo appears, ignore this, continue to hold the buttons down until the apple logo appears.
    This will restart your iPad and will not harm the content on it.

  • New iPhone 5s shut off unexpected and won't turn back on

    I just received my new 5s. I activated it. Made a phone call. I was downloading my apps, and using them, when the phone shut off unexpected. I tried to turn the phone back on, the apple logo appeared, then it went to the waiting circle for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes the screen had a blue screen for a second, then it went back to the waiting circle, then it turned off. I've tried turning it on a couple of times with the same results. Help!

    Hello Keith,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s!  I would be concerned too if my iPhone shut off unexpectedly and would not power on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • My system keeps shutting off unexpectedly after updating it to OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). is there anything that can be done to correct this?

    My system keeps shutting off unexpectedly after updating it to OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). is there anything that can be done to correct this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
