How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
If not, the power button stuck down.

  • Ipod keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until battery goes dead

    please help.....my ipod just keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until the battery goes dead. The only thing that will show up on the screen is the apple logo and then it will power cycle over and over and over! I have tried reseting it but I am limited to what I can do because the computer will not recognize the ipod when i connest it to my computer.

    Take it to your local Apple Store

  • IPod keeps turning itself on and off but wont start

    My iPod has been turning itself on, but before it's past the screen with the apple it turns itself back off and it will repeat doing that until the battery runs low then it will sit on the battery screen for a few minutes. After it gets some juice it starts back up with this crap. I figured it wasnt the battery because it was almostly completly fully charged when it started happening. It was when I was charging it, and when I was done I removed it from the computer properly; pushed the button to start it up and its been doing this disturbing ritual since. Ive tried every thats been suggested on this site, and I'd love to restore it, but iTunes doesnt reconize it. I've been trying to fix it for hours working with both the iPod and Windows but nothing seems to have any affect on it. I am afraid I'm going to have to replace the entire thing.
    If anybody knows anything that might help, please, I'll take any form of it ya got.

    I posted something earlier this week and i realized we have the exact same problem!!!! Sorry, but the bad news is that restore won't work!!! I put it on disk mode so the computer finally recognized it. It also charges on disk mode. I charged it for over an hour. But after i tried restore, it went back its old routine! Now I'm starting to charge it on normal mode for four hours, just in case. Have you tried the 'drain it for 24 hours' thing? I've seen it on several websites, but haven't tried it yet. SOMEONE HELP US!!!!!

  • IPod keeps turning itself on and off after attempted update

    I attempted to update my iPod touch 4 from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 but now my iPod keeps shutting itself off and turning itself on.

    - Try a reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try to restore the iPod.
    - If you could not restore and it is still turning on and of and on and off...let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • How do I stop my iPod from transfering my reminders and notes to my iPad. Also, how do I stop my iPad from transfering apps to my iPod?

    I am using an iPad provided by my school and I do not want my reminders and notes from my personal iPod Touch to transfer to the iPad. Two apps that I recently purchased from my iPad also transfered to my iPod and I did not want them there.

    This is pretty simple and straight forward.
    iPad:
    Settings>iCloud toggle off Reminders and Notes
    iPod:
    Settings>iTunes&App Store>Automatic Downloads toggle off Music, Apps and Books

  • How do I STOP  the headphones from turning on iPod app?

    If you press the mic jack on the iPhone headphones, it starts the iPod app playing. Nice, if you want to listen to music. Irritating, if it goes off in your pocket.
    How do I STOP the mic from turning on the iPod app?

    Having this problem too with the Klipsch Image S4i earbuds ... yeah, apparently they DO duplicate the Apple headphone control functions exactly.
    Short of unplugging the earbuds every time you store your iPhone in your pocket or whatever, is there a software fix or preference option to help with this?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    My ipod nano (7th gen) seems to be stuck in a loop of turning itself on and off, tried rebooting it but after a while it just starts it again?

    Hi altofts,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can try resetting and restoring your iPod nano to see if that helps with the restart loop:

  • My iPhone is continually turning itself on and off, how do I solve?

    It's turned itself off and then when I tried to turn it back on it continually turns itself n and off! How do I solve it?

    Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone without using a backup.  If this still happens after restoring as new, there is a hardware problem than needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

I put it in rice just in case it got water on it. Help! ? My phone won't even be a year old until next month and I was really wanting it to last me for 2 years. :/ What should I do?

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!
