Ipad 4th gen restarts randomly

Ipad 4th gen restarts itself randomly. Any one have any thoughts on why or what to do?

Well, if removing suspicious apps and restoring didn't stop the restarts, the last two things to try are recovery mode and then taking it to an Authorized Apple Service Center.
Here's how to do recovery:

I suspect recovery will not change the behavior.
Here are the service providers:

... or if you live near an Apple Store, that would be even better.

HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

No. Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer. However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did. New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have. But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be. Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

Why does my iPad 1st gen constantly kick me out of apps?

Why does my iPad close apps every minute or so while I'm using them? It's frustrating! Do I need to reset it to factory settings?

Double click the home button, hold down an app icon, and press the red X. Do that for all the apps. You have to clear that, or the device's RAM (temporary memory) gets too full, and starts kicking you out of things.

Ipad 4th gen restarting issue

My ipad has recently gone crazy, constantly restarting itself over and over until I can finally be fast enough to turn it off myself before it restarts itself again.
It is a 4th gen and I haven't downloaded anything new. Once I can get the ipad back on, the restarting issue seems to calm down until I go into the general settings and try to update my ipad to keep this from happening. I've tried to reset the ipad but this sends it back into restarting as well.
I even tried to connect it to my laptop to try and update via itunes but it sends it into restarting again as well.
I feel sad because its out of warranty and I feel like this is Apples fault with their latest ios 8 and if all solutions fail that probably means I have to trade it for a new one.
Is anyone else going through this nightmare?

I know I'm a week late, been real busy. But this isn't a forum for excuses.
I think I'm going to schedule a genius bar appointment because the iPad will not let me update at all. Once it downloads the update and gets ready to go through with it, then it begins on an ongoing restart cycle until I can be fast enough to interrupt it and shut it off.
I'm going to make the appointment but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they tell me I need to buy a new one.

Why does my iPad 3rd gen keep saying "not charging"?

My iPad (3rd gen) is frequently saying "not charging" when I plug it into my computer or ac adapter. I'm using Apple cords and adapters, too!

There has to be a power going through to charge it surley , it is ither of or on not low power? . Also daughter judy said '' i have tried ac adapter''. Maybe if you have another device e.g xbox with a usb port in try to connect through there

Most computer usb ports do not provide enough power to properly charge the ipad. If the computer goes to sleep while the ipad is plugged in, it can actually drain the battery. Use a wall charger.

Why does my iPad 4th generation lagg although its up to date

PPlease assist me to rectify this problem I have an assignment to do and it's really hard to do with my iapd only lagging

Hey Joshuaphillip,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you mean when you say that your iPad is "lagging". If you are having general slowness or responsiveness issues, you may want to make sure that your storage isn't full, as well as doing a basic restart/reset. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Why does my ipad mini keep restarting itself?

I bought an ipad mini in Feb, 2013 and until 2 weeks ago it has been working like a charm. Now my ipad mini restarts on its own without my consent. I have witnessed it restart when i have been reading books from ibooks, when opening programs, when listening to music and a few times when it hasn't been in use just sitting on the bench in screen saver mode. Yesterday i plugged the mini into my laptop and determined that i am currently using the most up to date software and that ensured i had saved a back up on the icoud and my computer. Finally i went trhough itunes to restore my ipad to is factory settings. This was completed this morning without a glitch only to find some 10 hours later my ipad is continueing to restart without any warning. Help!!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Why does my iPad (3rd Gen.) keep turning itself on and off?

I currently have my 3rd generation iPad plugged into the wall charger. It has been plugged in since yesterday morning and is still going through the same routine: on, off, on, off...HELP! I have tried to reset it, but it won't respond; the screen just keeps going black (with Apple logo) as soon as it turns on enough to get to the lock screen. Also, it will immediately become unresponsive when I unplug it from the charger.

I would think that you either have a charger problem or a something inside your iPad (battery, perhaps). I suggest you take it in for diagnosis.

Why does my iPad 3rd gen. stop responding after 5 minutes of use? The home button still works but the touchscreen doesn't react.

This is getting incredibly annoying. I've had this thing for 3 months and I can't use it for more than 5 mins at a time because the touchscreen stops responding!!! I tried restoring it to its factory defaults and it still keeps messing up.

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

Why does my Touch 5th gen restart itself randomly ever since ios7 update

My touch 5g randomly restarts itself now ever since I got ios7. Anyone else have the same problems and solutions?

I have not heard of that problem
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.

Why is my iPad 4th Gen. Keyboard acting up?

My iPad keyboard is sounding strange, not the usual click of the keys, but a fait snap and not even with every key. It stopped and started. When the normal key click returned, it was very faint.
It is now only snapping and seems to be dying?
Anyone know what is happening?
Thanks, as always.

Not sure. Others have had keyboard issues, although it's usually with responsiveness. They've reported some success going into the settings and 'reset all settings'.

Why does my itouch (4th gen) crash when I try to edit any of my saved keyboard "shortcuts"?

I have a bunch of saved shortcuts (used mostly for saving kaomoji/smileys) but when I try to delete a saved shortcut, that particular screen always crashes. The same thing happens when I try to delete that particular shortcut as well. Any fixes?

My iPhone is having the same exact problems, and just like Genius Of Apple said, it's only happened with 5.1.1
I have done all of the things you listed, prior to looking up help online, and only to find out that the only help offered is common sense. Apple itself needs to fix the bug, and it's ridiculous that to talk to somebody ABOUT the bug on tech support, ....YOU HAVE TO PAY $30 TO HAVE SOMEONE LISTEN TO YOUR PROBLEM. Apple needs to just FIX their own mistakes. This is obsurd.
I'm very upset that I cannot edit my photos (crop them), it's such a simple thing and Apple probably doesn't even care because "it's a little thing". NO! FIX IT!!!!
