Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

Thanks for the suggestions!
Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
& I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • IPhone 6 shutting off randomly

    My iPhone 6 shuts off randomly after using the camera or camera apps and during texts.  It also needs to be plugged in while it still has 28% battery left.  Anyone else? I restored and activated as new without any resolution to the problem.  I am being told it's probably "an underlying hardware problem."  Not thrilled.

    To rule out a software issue,  set it up as new device without using the latest backup, explained here:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If still problems after that, get it serviced:

  • My iphone keeps shutting down randomly. Ever since I installed IO7

    My iphone keeps shutting down randomly. 3-7 times a day. Ever since I installed IO7. How do I fix or reinstall IO6?

    Hey Kaylyn07,
    Thanks for the question. The following article may help in troubleshooting Kernal Panic’s for OS X:
    OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4636
    In most cases, kernel panics are not caused by an issue with the Mac itself. They are usually caused by software that was installed, or a problem with connected hardware.
    To help avoid kernel panics, install all available software updates until Software Update reports, "Your software is up to date." OS X updates help your Mac handle the kinds of issues that can cause kernel panics, such as malformed network packets, or third party software issues. For most kernel panics, updating your software is all you have to do.
    Diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you need help with this process, consider bringing your Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.  If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

    Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
    Any tips are very much appreciated.

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)  Or go into an Apple Store.

  • Iphone 5 keeps shutting off randomly

    Ever since i recently updated my iphone to the recent software update, it has been acting up. Like it shuts off randomly and shows these lines when it turns off, but thenreboots itself by itself

    Hello srephaniee,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please try the troubleshooting steps below to try and resolve this issue you're experiencing with your iPhone.
    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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • IPhone 5s shuts off randomly

    I purchased my iPhone 5s a week ago and two days ago, it started to shut off randomly. Holding the Wake/Sleep button boots the phone up again, but when the bright screen with the Apple logo dimms a little bit, it doesn't change to the Home Screen, but completly shuts down again. Hard reset won't help. The only solution is by plugging it to the USB cable and start charging. Then the phone reboots twice and goes to the Home Screen and is usable. Battery is at 83%.
    This is really annoying because it switches off randomly. You can't be reached or send texts when you need it. It happens 6-10 times per day and not always is a charger around to boot it up again. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Have you find the fix?
    My phone shut off randomly too. the apple comes and goes, i can not get access to it
    I wonder if IT Apple read these comments. I am thinking to move to a reliable phone.

  • IPHONE 5 shuts off randomly after update

    After I updated to 8.3 last week, my phone started shutting off randomly. It will say I have no battery (not every time) then come back and say I have 42% It's really ******* me off, becuse I will be in the middle of doing mail or writing a text and it shuts off

    The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

  • IPhone keeps shutting off - iOS 7 issues

    Over the weekend, after I just upgraded to the new iOS7, my phone shut off more then (5) times. If I was texting or at the unlock screen or getting map direction in the car the iPhone would just shut off completely. Even if I held down the power button for (5) minutes it wouldn't turn back on. Very frustrating specially when I use my phone for everything. Is there something I'm doing wrong because I'm about to turn in this phone.

    I just had a refurbished phone sent to me because my iPhone5 was having another data leak. Now the replacement is operating on iOS7 and it has shut off randomly for 5 to 10 minutes three times in three days. I'm going to contact technical support again and ask for another replacement.

  • 2G iPhone keeps shutting off

    I'm having problems with my iPhone constantly shutting down. As long as it's on a charger, plugged into any computer, or it's in use, then it works perfectly fine. But as soon as I disconnect and leave the phone idle for more than a minute or so...it will shut down. The only way for it to come back on is to plug it back up to any computer or to any charger. It's so frustrating because this happens all throughout the day...and I can't keep touching the phone just so it can stay on.
    I have taken it to an Apple store, but all they keep doing is restoring it. I have tried it as well, and even set it up as a new phone, and nothing has helped.
    I don't want to pay the $200 for a hardware replacement, because I keep hoping a new iPhone will be out soon (fingers crossed...lol). I'm just hoping I can find some type of quick fix for the meantime.
    Can anyone help????

    i have a similar problem, except i feel mine is a tad more severe. it used to be the same issue you seem to experiencing now.
    now, the problem has mutated into something monstrous, and i'm really ****** that i'm going to probably have to pay the $229CAD to swap in for another one...
    mine is shutting off randomly as well, except now, even if i am using it, it will shut off. if i do not answer the phone while it is lying flat, it will shut off within a minute. when i plug it in to turn it back on, sometimes it will just show the apple logo for 30 seconds to a minute, and then just go black and shut off.
    i'm really at my wit's end. when i went to the genius bar, they told me it was a "power issue" and nothing more, as diagnostics were fine. i did the restore. i don't really know what else i can do...
    wish there was a solution.

  • MacBook Air (Late 2010) keeps shutting off randomly, sometimes when computer is tilted or moved

    Hi all,
    I have a Late 2010 13-inch MacBook Air. I've had it pretty much since they started selling them at the Apple Store, or maybe a few months afterward. For probably a few years I had only used it once in a while, since I had a Windows laptop for work. Since this past December I have exclusively been using my MacBook Air, I have since given away the Windows computer.
    Recently it has started shutting off randomly while I'm using it. I've tried resetting the PVRAM and the thing that manages how the power/screen works (I forget what its called), and that hasn't worked. I'll try to turn it back on again after it has shut off, and it sometimes doesn't come back on unless I tilt it a little bit. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Is it something I can probably fix, or should I take it to the Apple Store? Thanks for any and all feedback.

    Since the PRAM and SMC reset didn't work and your screen only seems to work when the screen is tilted at a specific angle, it might be a hardware problem. If you're near an Apple Store, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have someone look at it: http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/techsupport/
