Answer to issue w/ ipod shutting off with older docking station

Since I have gotten a lot of help over the years using forums, it is now my turn to help others with the problem of the ipod 5g showing low battery error and then shutting off. The apple store could not help me, so I took a chance and purchased the scosche home dock adaptor. This fixed my problem for the 5g and I can now listen to my ipod in my hot tub again.

Additional information: My car battery died, which reset the radio and the integration kit. The integration kit worked perfectly for about three days, then once again the two stopped talking with each other. So it seems that the kit may work at the beginning, but then it peters out.

  • When ipod shuts off with sleep timer, does power stay on?

    I want to use sleep timer in iPod nano but when music shuts off, will my ipod shut off also or will the battery run down?

    It will go to sleep after the timer expires.

  • Video Issue (iPod shuts off)

    This question if for the iPod techs around here:
    2 months ago, I would play videos, and they iPod would shut off and go to the apple screen. Sometimes, it wouldn't even turn back on. I sent it back. They SAID they fixed it. I run a video again. iPod shuts off. Same thing. Says the battery if full, then red, then full, then red, then full. I feel I got ripped off big time.

    When this happens, it's usually one of three things:
    1. A bad video file (make sure it plays fine in iTunes).
    2. The iPod's battery is near empty (make sure it's fully charged - the battery symbol has to show a lightning bolt and flash green, otherwise it's not charging properly).
    3. There's a problem with the iPod itself. Try the instructions in iPod 101:

    If none of this helps, you may have a bad iPod.

  • My ipod shut off and won't turn back on.

    My ipod shut off for no reason, it had a full charge but it just shut off and it won't come back on and when I plug in in to my computer nothing happens, this happened before and I played with the buttons till it came on but it's not working this time.  Any Advice?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

    My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

    No it is not common.
    Most have no issues.
    Have you tried basics from the manual?  Restart, reset, restore?
    The warranty covers defects.  If the iphone is defective, then they would replace it.

  • Ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    Connect it to itunes, and see if itunes recoginizes it.
    If not, then hold home and the power button to do a soft reset.
    If not, then you will need to go into recovery mode.
    To get into recovery mode you need to Hold Power + Home at the same time. After it goes blank, continue holding the home button while releasing your finger from the Power Button.
    You should be able to do it. Otherwise, you may need to send your Ipod in for repair.
    NOTE - Using recovery on your Ipod will erase all data and reset all settings.

  • My ipod shut off randomly... any help??

    someone please help meee. my ipod shut off completely randomly & i cannot get it to turn back on! i have tried pressing & holding every button... nothing works. if anyone has had this happen to them & knows what to do, PLEASE HELP ME!

    So you have tried a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once as well as hold these two buttons together for up to a minute.
    Otherwise, see the article for information and assistance.

  • IPod shutting off after use?

    Hi everybody, so i was using my iPod touch and the app i was using started to glitch a bit, i didn't pay attention to it and kept playing. Then a few seconds later, my iPod shut off and the silver apple symbol popped up. Ive seen it before when my uncle starts up his iPhone, but it doesn't do it on startup on mine. What's going on and what can i do? Thanks

    - Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be restoring from backup via iTunes
    - Next restore to factory defaults also via iTunes since there could be some corruption which is now in your backup.
