80Gb Classic will not stay off

Any one got a clue on this, spent most of today sorting out my sons new Classic.
Story so far,
Connected and registered to apple/itunes.
Updated firmware.
Spent an age putting 60 Gb of music on.
Now it won't stay off, it comes back on within 2 to 20 seconds, with or without the hold button across.
Restored it twice so the hours of loading music up was wasted.
Anyone got a clue? Or do i need to go back to the shop and exchange it?
Its either that or it gets smashed, and its only been opened for 7 hours, my son hasn't even got his hands on it yet so hes almost as cheesed off as me.

I've had an IPod Classic since October. Mine started doing the same thing after 3 weeks or so. it's been an intermitant problem ever since. I plug it back into the PC and that sometimes sorts it for a while. Someone said it's a caused by being too hot or cold but I've yet to prove that.
If you do find out I'd like to know too. Good luck!

Ipod Classic will not shut off

Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change

Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off. Then activate the hold switch.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro will not stay off or asleep

Hi,
I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not stay turned off when I tell it to shut down. It will shut down just fine, but a few seconds later it will boot up again. This also happens when I try to close the lid (or just put it to sleep), it will work fine, screen/Apple logo on the back will turn off and the status LED will slowly pulse. However a few seconds later, the LED stops pulsing and the Apple logo will illuminate. If I open the lid I will be greeted with the log in page with zero delay (i.e. its been displaying for a while).
This has become problematic because the computer always be running. If I put it in my laptop bag the computer will get hot as ****. The only way to get it to really turn off is to let the battery die or remove the battery. But this computer does not have the externally removable battery so that is not a trivial process.
The symptoms exist in both Mac OS (Mountain Lion and Maveriks) and Windows 8/8.1. This makes me believe its something in the hardware (or at least a setting in the hardware), not software (I know Apple doesn't care what Windows does, but it is exibiting identical behavior).
I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC with no luck. When I reset the SMC I didn't get a good indication that anything happened though, and was wondering if that is normal. Resetting the NVRAM results in another restart, while its hard to tell if you actually reset the SMC. I reset the SMC by turning the computer off, then holding the power button when it tries to restart (this usually gives me a few minutes where the computer will actually stay off), then pressing shift, control, option and power at the same time and releasing them at the same time. This is how the Apple documentation said to do it. They did not mention how long the must be held though so I presume that doesn't matter.
Anyone experience this/have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

My i pod classic will not turn off

I have a ipod classic. The unit will not do anything at all.
It is now just staying on. It will not recognise the charger lead at all.
Help

To charge the iPod, use the wall charger or a High Power USB 2.0 port on your PC and not any USB Hub. Charge for at least 2 hours.
You need to do a Hard Reset on your iPod.
Toggle the HOLD switch till you don't see the RED mark (More like flick once, but make sure you don't see the red mark when you do the next step)
Press the Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred Language
then carry on what you are trying to do.

Voice over in settings will not stay off

I cant get voice over to turn off completely, only pause with the tapping on the screen when i am in settings, the fields are highlighted, requiring a double tap. The green button will move to off and then right back on. I have done a hard reboot and a reset. I need to get rid of this highlighting and voice please!!

Hello ellenp555,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to try and turn off the VoiceOver feature using iTunes, that way you can avoid any unecessary extra taps that might be causing the issue.
Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button.
Click Configure Universal Access (below Options).
Select the accessibility features you want to use, and click OK.
Click Apply.

Take care,

Keyboard lights will not stay off no matter what I do on my MacBook Pro. Why??

I've got a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo.
I have ALWAYS left the keyboard lights off for the 4 years I have had it.
But lately, no matter what settings I change or what I try, I cannot PREVENT the keyboard lights from coming on when I've been away from the computer for a long period of time.
Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light is NOT checked in System Prefs. I have reset the PRAM, and left the laptop off with the battery off for hours in hopes of resetting it.
Nothing will work. Almost every time I am away from my computer for hours, I come back and the keyboard lights are on. And when I tap the keyboard light brightness buttons, it just gives me the buster symbol (white circle with a line through it) on screen below the keyboard light brightness indicator for a few seconds. Somehow continuing to tap those buttons eventually makes the lights just turn off. Or holding my hands over the whole keyboard to trigger the sensor can suddenly allow me to control the on/off brightness with those buttons again. In which case I try turning the lights off completely or turning the brightness so low that it goes off.
But once again, when I wake up in the morning, I find the keyboard lights on.
Now the ONLY thing that has changed since this started happening is that I added a new User account. BUT that should asbolutely not cause this problem. I have checked to see if the System Preferences for the keyboard lights in the new user account were causing a conflict, but no, they are exactly the same as my main account.
I have not tried deleting the user account yet because I actually want it and would find it very hard to believe that was the culprit. It's just the only thing I can think of that changed shortly before this started happening.
Is there anything else I can do!?! Is there some preference file that controls the lights somewhere that could be corrupt that I need to trash?
Thank you for any help anyone can provide. This one has stumped me good.

From reading up of other forums with the same problem i have come up with two reasons why it is doing that.
first try doing a smc reset
if that does not work then it is a hardware error. Many people have had the problem and they have not been able to fix it so good luck

Macbook (4,1) "/" key not working, and the laptop will not stay off.

Yesterday my macbook keyboard and trackpad stopped working suddenly. I was in the middle of something so I plugged in a nearby usb keyboard and mouse and kept working. I shut down my machine and tried to turn it back on. Nothing happened.
An hour later I tried again to power it on. This time it worked, however my "/" key doesn't do anything, and when I shut down the computer it powers right back on.
I bought the laptop in early 2008, early 2009 Apple replaced the top part of the case and the hard disk under warranty. My question is; what are my options for getting this fixed without paying $$$? Will Apple be helpful here since it appears their replacement part is malfunctioning?

Items replaced under warranty repair are typically only covered as far as the original warranty term. Still, I would take it in and have it checked as it sounds like there is either a loose connector or fault in the keyboard assembly.

Bluetooth will not stayed OFF - why?

I don't want my bluetooth to stay on, in order to help with battery life. But everytime I re-boot (on Lion) it turns bluetooth back on again. Why??

Resetting SMC as well as NVRAM could solve the problem.

IPhone 4S will not turn off

Last week I noticed that my iPhone suddenly started losing battery rather quickly--it would only last about 3 hours on a full charge. In addition, the speakers stopped working--they would not play any music or video content, even though the ringer continues to work. To reset the phone, I tried to turn it off. The spinning wheel that appears while the phone shuts down was very dim but the phone eventually shut off. About two seconds after the phone turned off, the Apple logo appeared and it turned itself back on. No matter how many times I tried to turn it off, it continued to turn itself back on.
Eventually, I let the phone run the battery all the way down. After remaining at 1% for about 5 minutes, the phone shut itself off. Once I plugged it back in and charged it, the problem continued to occur.
Thinking that this was a problem with iOS 6, I upgraded to iOS 7, hoping that would fix the problem. After the upgrade, the same problem continued to occur.
I then tried to restore the phone using a backup stored on my computer. When I did that, the phone completely stopped working. It refused to activate and would not get a carrier signal--no phone, no text messaging, just WiFi.
At a loss, I then did a factory restore. After completing that, the phone finally got a carrier signal again and, in addition, the speakers began functioning again. The spinning wheel that appears when the phone turns off is full brightness now, but the phone still will not stay off and the battery still drains very quickly. Using System Activity Monitor to examine the phone is unhelpful. When fully charged it says that the phone should have 10 hours of battery life remaining, but within an hour that number has dropped to 6 hours, and within another hour or two, the battery is completely drained. CPU Core usage generally hovers in the mid to high single digits. Mail is set to fetch manually and no applications are running.
Is there a way to fix this, or is it just Apple's built-in way of requiring an upgrade every 18 months?

Did you have the battery changed recently?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

External Display flashes on and off will not stay on.

When I turn on my Samsung external LCD display which is connected to the iMac, it flickers on and off and will not stay on. What could cause this problem. I tried different resolution settings to no effect. I had been using the display without problems until recently. I wonder if it was a system software update.

Are you using some sort of adapter to hook it to the Mac? I know on my iMac that I use an external monitor on I use a mini DVI to VGA connector. If you are using something like that it could be the adaptor.
I would think if it was software there would be more posts on it. Yours is the only one I have read on this subject.

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?

Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)
Best Regards,
Jeremy
