Can iPod be set to automatically turn on and off at certain times?

At my work, I have been using my iPod to play overhead music through the PA system - using the radio feature mostly, but sometimes a playlist. However, I have to remember to turn it on and off everyday, which doesn't always work out too well. Is there a feature that can be set so that it will turn itself on automatcially each day and turn off automatically each day? Its the Nano, sixth generation. Any feedback is appreciated!

You can set a time in the clock but that wouldn't be much of an improvement because you would have to do it every day.

How to Set Automatic to turn on and off at specified time my TV with STB

It seems very frustrating talking with Verizon tech support, that's why I turn to you guys to find if anyone knows the answer to my question above.,from my experience calling verizon for my tech support regarding fiosTV and most of my experience from Verizon are either inept and giving the customer the run around by keeping you on hold for the longest and not having the answer after all the time I spend with the tech on the phone or they will tell you that the that there is no such thing; and when you call again when you get another tech on the phone you get completely different answer if not an inept answer.
My Specific question is, if I turned off my STB (top box) and my TV at a particular time; and I like my TV with STB to turn on at a specified time ( example I turned off my STB and TV at 9:00 PM ) and would like my TV with the STB to be turn on like 11:00 PM to turn off at 12:00 midnight by itself, not to record but just to turn on as reminder and to serve as power saver incase I fall asleep ( this is just example scenario). How would I do that? The manual of either remote control or the STB does not provide that information. My television manual say the TV can but I can not turn it on automatically with the STB connected.
I called Verizon tech, he first sounded inept and sounded like he just talking from a scripted lines, and would not tell me straight forward that he does not know the answer; I explained that I switched to Verizon Fios for its claim in high and advance technology as they compare themselves by far higher in technology as compared with Cable or direct TV, and with Cable Vision I was able to used the above automatic turn on and off with the remote; I asked for his supervisor or maybe more expert tech support, He turned over the call to his supervisor, who told me that the STB or the remote Fios TV does not have that level of capability which sounded to me like a joke, he also told me that the STB can not be turn on and off because STB is always set as on; I told him I can see the green light turns on and off on the STB each time I press the ON button on the Verizon Remote; he defended that its always on because the timer is ON, and he told me instead FIOSTV has another feature that although it will not turn the feature on and off automatically, it will serve as reminder, I asked him How to carry out that function, the tech supervisor said to me to just press the record button on my remote, which I know right away that it will just record, and I told him that its not what I want to accomplish, this Tech Supervisor insisted that it will not record but will set to notify me, but surely it did record and it just wasted and used my DVR memory capacity the time when he put me on hold for a long period of time, I knew it recorded because the red button on the STB/TVR was on., and it did not notify me in anyway what time the TV and STB will turn on. That was a complete waste of time, instead of him getting the issue to higher level of their tech support and try to research thru and get back to the client. To me, simple feature as this, is such absurd to claim that fiosTV has more advance features than others, where infact they can not even have their tech support answer such simple question.
Any one here has any idea, please help.

The set top box does not offer any auto on or auto off feature.
you can only do that if your TV offers the feature.
If neither your TV nor the STB offer that feature (in this case the stb does not offer) then you can go to a radio shack or a similiar store and purchase a AC timer. they make them and you plug them into your wall, they are very cheap.
I have had directv and fios and neither of my systems did an automatic on or off.
BUT my samsung TV upstairs does have that feature (auto on and off) and I have not checked my mitsubishi downstairs.
so you may want to check your settings on your TV to see if it will do it, like my samsung does.

Soundbar/wifi automatically turning on and off

Hi,
I have a HP dv7t-3000 notebook. This notebook has the 'touch sensitive' bar on top of the keyboard with entertainment controls like volume/mute/play-stop-forward etcc.. and the wifi 'touch sensitive button'
My problem is that these are being automatically turning on and off. My volume for example is automatically going up and down. My sound at this very moment is turn 'mute' on and off like every second. My wifi is also turning on and off- the wifi 'touch sensitive button is turning red and blue repeatedly' (so on and off)
My question is, is there a way to DISABLE this whole 'touch bar'. I never turn my wifi off so I don't need that stupid button, and I'd rather control my volume in Windows than to have this stupid thing keep changing volumes up and down and muting on and off.
So I'd just like to keep wifi-on and then have this stupid bar be disabled! Who cares about these buttons if they're gonna behave like this.

If you updated to iOS 7 then I believe its something with iOS 7 because you are not the only one who has that problem, try to restore your iPhone and see if the problem is solved. If not , wait for iOS 7.1 it should be fixed on that new software.
Note:- don't forget to back up your phone before restoring or you will loose all your stuff.
-Let me know if this helped you, have a nice day :) ~iMond

I can't find out how to turn on and off the title of the song, name of artist, and time remaining to a song.

I can't find out how to turn on and off the window above the iTunes list that includes the title of the song, name of artist, and time remaining to a song. It seems to appear rather randomly on my iMac.

IOS6 and iphoto, iPad, Apple TV sync problem still unresolved. Turning on and off a few times have not helped. What should I do now? wait for an upgrade fix?

"&" is not the obvious bug/answer. Not sure what went wrong as I cannot select albums and events for sync. Situation is worse for iPad and Apple TV when error 1140 message popped up even before backup get completed.

Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1598
Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.

Ipod mini keeps turning on and off all the time. Help

I got this ipod mini in may, it worked great, but then all of a sudden it started to turn on and off once in a while mostly now it happens once a day..i checked if maybe the timer was set but it wasnt at all, can i fix it by myself or do i have to send it back to the factory for the warranty repair.

the same thing is happening to my ipod mini, I received a brand new mini in July, and every time I use it it shuts on and off whenever I touch it, even with a fully charged battery, and it also shows the battery sign, do i need to get it serviced?

Ipod Nano 3rd generation keeps turning on and off

I have a brand new Ipod nano. I updated the software on the ipod and my itunes. I then put songs on my ipod. After that, i ejected my ipod using the button on itunes and also by disconnecting with the windows icon in the lower left hand corner.
The ipod went to the main menu and appeared to be working. I then plugged it back in to my computer to download something else. Itunes then told me that it did not recognize my ipod and that i would have to restore to factorty settings. So i hit the link to restore to the ipod to factory settings. The ipod restarted and then itunes said that it was corrupted and needed to be restarted. Meanwhile my ipod began turning on and off, only displaying the black screen with the apple in the middle and then turning off, then turning back on and displaying the apple again.
Currently, I'm waiting for the battery to completely die, so that i can see if that will fix it. If anyone has heard of this problem and knows the solution, it would be appreciated. Happy Holidays.

All,
I had the same issue on my new Ipod Nano. It works now! I did the following:
1) Called Apple. Apple told me the next steps.
2) Toggle the Hold switch 6 to 8 times. I did 10
3) Press the center button and the PLAY button! Hold for ten seconds
4) A check mark appears!
5) Connect to computer and restore your Ipod!
6) Thank me later!

IPod Nano won't stop turning on and off

OK so I tried to sync my iPod to my computer and it told me it was currpt and needed to be restored. It has done this for the last 4 times I have sync'd it and haven't had a problem with it restoring. This time it told me that it could not restore it and since my iPod shows the screen with the Apple on it and shuts on and off on it's own. It will not allow me to sync it anymore nor plug it into the wall socket and charge it. I have no idea what happened or what to do to fix it. Has this happened to you and if so what fixed it?
I just got this iPod a couple months ago and hav barely used it so I don't want to send it in for repairs and get a different one that is used and ****** looking.

HT201263 My iPod Touch 4th Generation keeps turning on and off repetitively.

I've tried using the home and sleep buttons to turn it off but when it turns off it just turns back on when I plug it into the computer. No way I can seem to fix it and I couldn't find a solution.

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.
- 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.

IPod 5th Gen keeps turning on and off!! ***

My iPod 5th Gen just keeps turning on and off, I dunno why but it just does!
I just updated the iPod about 10 minutes ago, and it completed then right after it comes up with the Silver Apple logo, then lights up, then shuts down, makes the hard drive clicky sound too. And just does that over and over and over again. I hate it.
I've tried to put it into Disk mode, and Menu+Select and Menu+Play. Nothing works!
What do I do??

im having the same problems but once i get my ipod into disk mode i cant seem to restore it..
You restore it when plugged into your computer and it shows up in iTunes. The restore function is in iTunes. Sometimes you have to force the iPod into disk mode in order to get it to mount and show up in iTunes.

External HD keeps turning on and off after Leopard install

Since I've installed Leopard, my external HD seems to keep turning on and off at random times (i.e. the disk starts spinning for a little while, then stops, then starts again) when I'm not doing anything to access the HD. Any ideas if this is an issue with Leopard or something wrong with my HD? It wasn't an issue before Leopard.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one and that I'm not going crazy!
At least in my situation, TM has never been turned on. It might be Spotlight, but my guess is that after being installed for several days now, that most anything needing to be indexed would have been indexed. No virus checkers installed. Also, my external HD is only for backup (not saving stuff or autosaving stuff on the external HD).
I've noticed it a bit more when using Safari, but that may be purely a coincidence. The solution I've basically used has been to eject my HD and then re-mount it when I need to use it.
If anyone knows of anything, please let us know!

How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Although I turned off WiFi, set as 'require admin password to turn on and off wifi, when I turn on my MacBook Pro, retina latest model, just got for a month, it turns on wifi automatically, is this a back door or virus or security hole? Thank you

I have my all networks at 'Off' status in the system panel, never use Bluetooth either, also in the top status bar, and set as 'require admin password to turn on and off WiFi', but when I turn on my MacBookPro 15" retina newest model only one month old, it goes on to WiFi automatically by itself.
Is this a back door? Security hole?
The other day, I was taking a break for five minutes, when I came back, the Microsoft outlook is open for setting up an account, I never use outlook, it is there only because it comes with the office package. Also, iTunes was playing music, I don't use iTunes when I'm working. Both were not on before I left for the break.
What is the problem?
