My brand new Ipad 2 keeps shutting itself down! I can not keep it on. It started less than 24 hours after I had received it. Apple is no help even though I bought the apple care plan.

  • I would take it back to wherever you purchased it. The customer service reps stated that mine was a hardware issue. It is a defect. There is a problem with the magnets in the device.

  • no thank you I am taking it back.

  • It is not the sleep wake button because we have tried that. My husband is a "computer guy" We live 3 hours from an apple store but you are damn right we are going to drive 3 hours this weekend to take this piece of you know what back!

    I waited over three weeks and paid a ton of money for this "bad luck"

  • Same thing happening to me.... went to the apple store and they said it may be a bad 'file' whatever that means, so they said to restore it and set it up as a new ipad not a back up. So I did, it made it worse. Turns out my iPad was a faulty one and i had to get it replaced.

  • Mine is doing the same the thing. My first one worked fine, until the baby cracked the screen, last week. I took it in and they charged me $350 + iPad 2 w/broken screen and gave me a refurbished unit. I've had this one for less than a week and it just now started shutting itself off. I guess I'll have to bring it down, tomorrow. Fortunately, in Glendale, CA, we have two Apple stores within 1 mile of me!

  • restore the ipad i worked for me

  • I have the exact same problem. Took it to the store but they did not manage to sort out the problem, now I have to go to Mac service, waste of time and money, I should have bought the samsung.

  • i think it's a problem with volume flex cable, i had the same problem and after replacement this cable, it works great.

  • This is happening to my iPad 2 right now

  • maybe the power button is stuck

  • Probably a problem with the magnets.

  • @0555182221 just go and return it if you still have the receipt or warranty!!

  • this is horrible, but thats great you got it replaced. it seems that alot of ipads have this problem.... it almost has a mind of its own..
