Why does my iPad email app keep shutting down?

I just purchased my iPad 2 3G last week, so I am a new iPad/Apple user. I really like the product and now wonder why I have stayed loyal to the Windows PC for so long. I'm still looking for some of those useful PC keys and keystroke shortcuts that I am so accustomed to, but I am adapting.
My iPad mail app keeps shutting down on me, whether I am typing a message or just reviewing/managing my mail. I use a bluetooth keyboard, so it is not a matter of me bumping the touch screen that is causing the app to close.
I have lost a lot of important business emails while composing them and eventually stopped using my iPad to compose email.
Is there a setting controlling this or is it a program glitch?
Thanks.

Pam-
It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left. In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

Why does my iPad ( 1st generation) keep shutting down

Does anyone have any ideas why my iPad (1st generation) keep closing down and what I need to do to rectify it?

Why does my HP DV6 laptop randomly shut down and stop charging?

I believe I've asked this question before. In August 2011 I got a laptop:
HP DV6
Product #:
LW260UA#ABD
Processor
AMD A8-3500M APU
My problem is that my laptop always has to sit in a certain position of it is going to be able to charge. Is this due to the port where the laptop is charging being faulty and loose? Also when I unplug the charger the laptop shuts off automatically within 1 minute. I then have to plug the laptop up to the charger again for it to work. Basically, I need to ALWAYS have my laptop plugged in for it to work. I tried doing the battery test on the laptop, but it said it's fine and has no bad cells. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi melkouas,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will try my best to help.
I grasp that you are experiencing a charge issue. You have tested the battery and it is OK, but you must be connected to power for it to work.
I have located documents I believe will help. Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge
and Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 7).
Please let me know if you would like further assistance.

Why does my 3-year old MBP shut down and not start?

I have a mid-2010 MPB running Mt Lion and it is giving me fits. It consistently shuts down for no reason. I have taken it to the Genius bar and been told that I should add additional memory, so I have doubled the RAM with a new unit. The problem is that did nothing. I keep having to restart and now it seems not to want to start at all, so I can't do anything or learn anything. I have the basic MBP but I have 2011 Office for Mac and the other basic apps on board. Any ideas?

Why does my 2009 27" imac keep shutting down?

why does my 2009 27" imac keep shutting down?

Could, also, be failing hard drive , power supply or logic board.
You may have to make an appointment and take your iMac in to Apple or Apple authorized repair center for diagnostics and a repair estimate.
If your iMac has a 1 TB internal hard drive, it maybe a Seagate drive and maybe eligible for free replacement under the Apple Seagate 1 TB internal hard drive replacement program.
If you can get your iMac running, you need to backup all of your data ASAP!. Either backup to optical disc, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive for backup. You can use a data cloning program such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact copy of your iMac's internal hard drive.
You can check for eligibility for free hard drive replacement by inputting your iMac's serial number here.

My phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on iPhone 4

my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on
iPhone 4

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off issues found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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 30 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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Why does my ipad keep losing connection and kicking me out of apps?

Why does my ipad keep dropping apps while I am using them like facebook and facetime. It just disconnects and goes to the home screen. Very frustrating!

I have a MacBookPro...my wife has iPad2...and I do nothing with her iPad...
let me ask a dumb question reading here. She plays a lot of Scrabble or word games...goes on Facebook, and has been complaining to me about the games crashing, bringing her sometimes back to the home page.
We followed one piece of advice given here...to hold the start and home buttons simultaneously and reboot. This may work...we'll see.
But...on the advice concerning the apps. When she holds down an App...they vibrate or shake, which I guess is a way to move an app about...drag it. Saw no minus sign. I guess we assumed the app was "closed" sitting dormant on the home screen...and so I know or understand (she not so computer literate), an app sitting on the homescreen is not necessarily closed? Hitting home and bringing the desktop back up, is not necessarily closing out of the app?
thanks...

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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does my ipad say 10.6 gig used and 2.2 available

Why does my ipad air say 10.6 GB used and 2.2 GIG available when its a 16 Gig ipad. Cant figure it out. please help

Out of the box, your iPad only had about 13.5GB of available space.
There are several factors that affect the amount of storage space on an iPad. First is the true amount of space on a hard drive. There is a math difference in how companies spec hard drive size and the true amount of available space. Second the iPad has some pre-installed apps that take up space. My 16GB iPad 2 started out with only 13.5GB of available space.
