Turning off my ipod

I have a first generation ipod. Can someone tell me how you turn it off so I don't waste my battery when I'm not listening to it? BTW, is it me or is this not a very good battery?
Thanks,
MJ

To turn an iPod off, you press and hold the play/pause button. The display goes off and the iPod is off also.
The battery on the iPod (particularly the older iPods) is not it's strong point that's for sure.

  • I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

    So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

    Hi-
    I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

  • I turned off my ipod and when i went to turn it back on again it showed the apple but thats all it shows.

    I turned off my ipod and when i went to turn it back on again it showed the apple but thats all it shows.  I can restart it by holding the power button and the home key but it never turns on.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it.  See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can i turn off my ipod?

    ipod had turned off before, but now cannot turn it off. It continues to stay on. I've tried to use hold switch to see if that helps, but ipod still won't turn off, and it uses up my battery. Holding play/pause button on the click wheel doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone have an idea how I can turn off the ipod?

    Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it.
    Then see if it will turn off.
    Cheers!

    AND HOW DO I REMOVE A SONG FROM MY IPOD BUT NOT MY ITUNES PLAYLIST

    To turn off an iPod:
    Press and hold the Play/Pause button on your iPod until you see the screen go black.
    As for deleting content off your iPod: you cannot delete any songs or other items off of your iPod without connecting your iPod to iTunes, or at least your computer (there are some progras you can use to manage your iPod. Also, you can view your iPod in "My Computer", and alter it there).

  • I turned off my ipod touch but it wont turn back on its stuck on the apple logo

    i turned off my ipod while there were apps dowloading. but its taking a long time to turn back on its just stuck on the apple logo what do i do or do i wait?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is there another way to completely turn off my iPod to save battery?

    I've heard that turning off my iPod by holding the Play/Pause button is just putting it into a sort of "Sleep" Mode, where it appears to be off but is actually still using a considerable amount of battery.
    Is there another way, a better way, to completely turn it off?
    Thanks.

    After it is off for a while it will go into a deeper sleep on its own.
    It is not using much battery power when you put it to sleep by holding down the play button. Make sure you activate the hold button after you do this so it does not inadvertently "wake up".

  • Turning off the iPod touch without losing play counts?

    When I turn off my iPod touch at night, some play counts are lost. Some podcasts get reverted to their "unplayed" status as well. How can I prevent this?

    No, it's not. The problem went away for a few days, but now my iPod only remembers the last five (or so) things I played and reverts all the other stuff I played to their previous play count.
    I'm using firmware 1.1.4, by the way.

    That IS how you turn it off; the only other way, is to let it sit for a while, and it will turn off automatically, if it's not playing any music.
