Can't turn off ipod touch

I have a brand new 8GB iPod touch. No matter what I try I cannot turn it off. I hold the top button down and nothing happens. I hold the top and Home buttons down simutaneously for over 20 seconds and the only thin that happens is the Voice Control app turns on. Very frustrating.

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 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.

  • Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

    My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

    If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

  • Can't turn on ipod touch

    Can't turn on my ipod touch. i have allowed it to charge for awhile, no buttons work to turn it on. Help please!

    Try to connect it to your computer for a while and then open your iTunes. If it ask you to restore, then do so.

  • Can't Turn off iPod

    Ok Another problem just came up (besides the sound quality). The iPod doesn't turn off. Just goes into sleep mode. Did a reset and then a restore. Same problem. Any suggestions before I return to store for a replacement. It is a week old.
    Thanks

    Am having similar prob with my 5th gen 30GB ipod (2 months old)

    Also
    2) I cannot see the image of my album art (even tho its uploaded) theres just a blank square.

  • How do I turn off iPod Touch?

    I've got a hand me down iPod Touch and I'm trying to connect to Time Warner's wifi hotspots.  They suggested I completely power the iPod off but I think I'm just putting it to sleep. Thanks!

    Just figured it out, thanks anyway.

  • I have tried turning off ipod touch to restore as forgotton password and this hasnt done it

    forgotton password and have tried resetting it by turning off and on . this hasnt workd help

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPod to (preferably) the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • Unable to turn off iPod touch 3 after IOS5 applied

    Hi All,
    after I applied IOS5 my itunes started to sync my songs. At the same time some apps were updated and now my iPod hangs. I am unable to reboot the device, holding the power on switch (the button above) will not show the red bar for shutdown.
    Any idears?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    It's called a reset. Always a useful thing to know about!
    Though personally I never bother actually turning mine off, I use it so frequently that it is silly, plus it takes more battery to turn it on and off than it does just to put it into sleep mode.

  • Turning off iPod Touch

    When I turn my touch off...I just hit the on/off switch real quick and the screen goes black. Would it be better to hold it down until the red slider appears? Does either way make a difference?

    Why would it be ok to tap it if I'm going to use it tomorrow or in a month? It seems like a delay in usage is a delay no matter the the length.
    So what I really need to know is what is the difference between the two...tapping it off and powering it down?

  • Can I turn off the touch feature?

    Is it possible to disable the touch feature entirely from my tx2 1370?  And if so, can I disable touch for all but the pen?
    I'm running Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance! 

    I've found 2 different places to disable the touch and to detect the pen only.  The N-Trig control panel, and the Pen & Touch configurations.  However, even then, the touch screen will respond to my finger (or, more annoyingly, my hand) when I'm writing.  This happens even when my pen is close to the screen, or clicking, so that I get long lines across the screen when I'm writing.
    Is there anyway to fix this?  Can I change my driver to a driver that doesn't support multi-touch, and would that help?
    Thanks!

    Have you upgraded to Windows 8.1? If so, did you do it this way?

    Please open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand Human Interface Devices, and attach a picture. It should look something like this one (from a Microsoft Surface).
