Why does My new iPad air keep shutting down?

IIs your iPad actually shutting down (powering off and needed a restart) or is it crashing to the home screen?

    Why does my new ipad air keep shutting down?

    No one here can answer that. Try a reset (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis.

  • My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!

    My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.

    Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
    The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
    Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
    Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
    The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
    The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
    To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
    I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
    1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
    2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
    3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
    4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
    5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
    In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
    The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later.

  • My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it

    My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it and has to be rebooted. I took it in to the Genius desk at my local store, but they couldn't find anything wrong and said that they have never seen this problem before.
    I Spoke to the IT support guy at work. He has the same problem with his new MacBook, but not with his older one. He suggested that it is a software issue with all new MacBooks and is connected to the timing of it going into sleep mode. Does anybody have a solution? Apple doesn't seem to have one.

    Try a SMC reset.

  • Why does my Iomega and WD keep shutting down?

    why does my Iomega and WD keep shutting down?

    Was gonna reply "cause they are unremitting pieces of crap" (got two Iomega NAS boxes out for repairs as we speak), but I'll bite anyway....
    Care to provide more information as to what troubles you? The description you have provided isn't exactly rich in details, don't you think? And my telepathic thinking cap is also out of order at the time....

  • 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.

  • TS3899 My old iPad let me have 1000 emails, why does my new iPad Air only allow 200?  How do I change this?

    I want the 1K emails I could have on my iPad 2. Can't figure out how to do this on my new Air.

    I had an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1.  In the Mail, Contacts, Calendars selection and within it a Mail section.  Within the Mail section i could choose to show anywhere from 50 - 1!000 messages.  In my new iPad Air with iOS 7.1 i have no such option and it seems to max out at 240 meassages.
    I have 1,209 earhlink emails on my old iPad dating back to Novemeber, on my new iPad i have 250 going back through March.
    Is ther a setting i can chane to got the others?   Do they live in the cloud somewhere and i just dont know how to use it?
    Thank you for you reply and your hekp.

  • Why does my new iPad air throw me out of apps

    As above it is is annoying

    How did you setup the new iPad ?
    Did you restore a backup of a different device to this new iPad ?
    I've mentioned in this forum before that I have low expectations of this approach.
    I recommend setting up a new iPad by simply logging in with your existing Apple ID.
      Then enable cloud sharing
        selectively on both devices
          until stuff transfers to the new iPad.

  • Why does my WD2GO Pro app keep shutting down when I'm trying to access a file?

    Ive invested in a WD My Book Live 2TB network hard drive and the associated WD2GO Pro app for the ipad.
    This is great for tiny files (1-2mb) but anything over 20mb make the app shut down. 
    Why is the ipad shutting down?  Cant it show a PDF over a certain size?
    I know I can open it in other programmes (PDF by corporate smalltalk) but WD2GO provides the facility to create a URL link to the hard drive, thus allowing me to email this link to clients / printers etc. 
    The silly thing is that if Im really quick I can send the link but if Im longer than about 4 seconds the app shuts down.
    Frustrating isnt the word!
    Hope someone somewhere out there has an idea.  Just please dont say that the new Ipad solves this problem as Ill be (forced) into upgrading lol

    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.safari folder. Move the Cache.db file (might say ApplicationCache.db) to the Trash.
    Try Safari. If it crashes again, follow the instructions for uninstalling then reinstalling Flash >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Restart your Mac Try Safari.

  • Why does my i pad 2 keep shutting down or freezing?

    I recieived my i pad 2 3 days ago and it keeps either freezing or shutting down in the middle of something.  Why is this happening? Can I adjust something to stop this?

    In addition to KP's advice there are a couple of other basic things to try.
    Quitting open/running/recent apps
    Quit apps by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit/close the apps.
    Then restart the iPad
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. See if this helps.

  • Why does my intel imac (2008) keep shutting down?

    Imac recently started shutting down. no new hardware/software additions. Happens randomly, sometimes on start-up. Any ideas?

    From: Eustace Mendis
    Sounds like a Broken Drive...
    Most of the times this will be solved with a HardDrive Replacement
    although,
    you could try this
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R).
    Keep holding these keys until the Apple icon appears.
    This indicates that your Mac is starting up.
    After the Recovery System is finished starting up,
    you should see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" window.
    After you do this, select Disk Utility and run it.
    On the next screen,
    Select the hard drive in the left hand column,
    the First Aid tab on the top, and click on Reparid Disk. (bottom left)
    When that is done, click on Repair Permissions.
    When that is done, quit Disk Utility and restart.

  • Why does my mac book air just shut down when working

    When using my mac book air it just shuts down. I usually need to tap several keys to restart.  Any help?

    If you mean that it just shuts off without any warning, then this might help:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Otherwise it needs to be fixed.

  • Why does my new macbook air keep crashing i.c.w. Time Capsule!!!?

    I bought my new MBA 11" @ the apple store eaton centre in Toronto. Since my purchase i dec 2010 the MBA crashed often but i thought this was normal (once a week).
    Now i connected a brand new Time Capsule & Airport Express (bought @ apple.com) and now it crashes every 30 minutes!!!
    --when i try to copy data to the time capsule it crashes after 1,5 gb.
    --when i'm listening music via Airport Express the MBA crashes after 20 minutes.
    I get a ' filter'  over my screen with in several languages that i need to reboot....
    I tried to get support at Apple (via phone) but the suggested that i should visit iCentre (in Ede, The Netherlands were i live).
    They took my Apple in repair. Got it for over a week and then they told me that the had run some test and that there was nothing wrong... The invoice was euro 79,-!
    ...At home i tried to copy files to my Time Capsule and the machine crashes again.... (nothing wrong???)
    Why can't i get normal support on this expensive machines....!!!???

    Backing up other Ethernet doesn't prevent access via Wi-Fi.
    If the Time Capsule creating a wireless network?  If not, you'll need to configure it to do so in order to allow the MBA to connect to it.  If it does, can you connect the MBA to the Time Capsule's network?
    Depending on the amount of data you want to transfer, using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter would help things run faster.

  • HT5858 ipad air keeps shutting off

    ipad air keeps shutting down while using it

    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.
    - 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.

  • My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down and kicking my ipad and iPhoto off while sometimes showing a good connection in utilities but utilities showing no connection.

    My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down. The status light is off. If I unplug and re-plug it comes back on and reconnects. Also, it disconnects my iPad and iPhone even though the status light is green. I go to airport utilities and the internet dot is amber and the base station is green. I check wireless clients and both iPad and iPhone show excellent connection but are not connected. If I disconnect and re-connect it restores connection. My old AirPort Extreme never had this problem. I read a couple of comments from owners with similar problems and you pushed it off on the iMac or other things. I hope you have an answer for me!

    If it has power, an Extreme's status light should never be off.
    Try another power outlet. If it still doesn't work, return or exchange it for a new one.
