Help. Ipod Turns Off Randomly And Freezes!?

My Ipod will randomly turn off sometimes, quite often actually. It turns off and I can't turn it back on unless I plug it into a computer. Then it will turn on but it will say Please Wait. Very Low Battery. Then I have to play around with it by plugging and unplugging it until it turns on and the ironic part is that once it turns on it is almost full battery? I really don't know how to fix this?

I suggest bringing it to a local apple store that has a genius bar or calling apple technical support to see if they can help you out. It might be a well known problem that they'll fix for free, or you might have to pay to get it fixed.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the 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 try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in

    Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    If I leave the phone (thus not doing anything to it) for an extended period of time say 2 hrs. It will have turned off and you can't turn it back on unless you plug it in, but it's got heaps of "Battery" left.
    Ever so often it will turn off randomly as well, and can't turn it on again.

    If your iPhone is powering off, this is not normal.
    Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If no change after doing so, your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...

    My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens. 
    Thanks in advanced.

  • 5th Gen 60GB ipod turns off randomly

    My iPod has a tendency to just turn off randomly. it'll leave a "ghost" screen shot of what was on it and then it slowly fades away to nothing. Then, the black screen and apple come up and take 20-30 seconds to reboot and start over at the main menu.
    Any idea as to how to fix this?
    thanks

    My 5th Gen 80GB ipod also turns off/restarts randomly after about 2-3 minutes of use. Very annoying and have had much trouble in trying to solve this problem.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly, and doesn't start up unless its on the charger. Hard resetting it when its turned off doesn't turn it on either.

    My iPhone 4 is running iOS 4.3.4 and it suddenly turns off randomly, usually when the batery is around 85% or so. When I try to turn it on the normal way or hard resetting it, it doesn't turn on. It only turns on when its connected to a charger, and the time and date resets to 7.30am, January 1st 1970. I have no idea why is this happening and how do I resolve this issue? I really don't want to go get it replaced as its too much of a hassle and Im leaving to another country in 2 days time..

    It also starts charging at 70% or so when it turns on..

  • My computer turns off randomly and won't always tun right back on. What should I do?

    My computer recently started turning off randomly, some when I move it or just when I am sitting there using it. I have also had trouble getting it to turn back on after it turns off. I plugged it in the last time to get it back on, but I can't always have my charger with me when using it. What do I need to do?

  • Turns OFF randomly and can hardly go ON again

    Hey guys!! I've come up with this problem last week on my iphone. I just turns OFF randomly, by any determinate reason, it just goes off, all of the sudden just as it would've crashed and then when I try to turn it on it restars at least 5 or 6 times before it actually turns on, takes more than half an hour and it just kills my battery. The same thing is when I turn in off on purpose... it won't turn on again in at least 30 minutes, that's crazy hahahah.

    I've restored it last night, and since then I haven't had any problem... I wouldn't sing my praises yet though, let's see what happens. Have you already tried this?
    PS..: I'm sorry about my spelling mistakes in the first post, wrote too quickly

  • Power button doesn't work, phone turns off randomly, and then flashes the apple screen over and over until I plug it into the charger

    I have the iPhone 4s through Sprint, running iOS6. The power button my phone doesn't do anything, it doesn't lock my phone, and holding it down does not turn off my phone. Randomly, the power off screen will come up, sometimes over and over and over again. Sometimes the lock screen does the same thing, and there have even been times when it screen captures my lockscreen. Also, my phone will randomly turn off even when the batter is around 50%, and then the apple screen flashes over and over (sometimes for hours when I'm at work) and will not fully turn back on until I plug it into the charger. I have not spilled anything on it. I have dropped it, a few days ago, but it has been acting like this for weeks. I also had the problem with my wifi, where it grayed out and I couldn't select it, but my wifi randomly started working again. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have the same prob

  • IPod turns off randomly

    I only got my iPod touch a few weeks ago, and very frequently, when listening to music, it just goes to sleep and stops playing music. When I wake it back up again, it is either on the home screen, or on a random playlist or the song list where I had been looking at before. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Darrell

    Just a thought do any apple tec bods read this forum or pref Apple management that can answer the question when are Apple going to fix the prob of the Ipod touch turning off at random. It's getting more and more frequent I will soon be going back to using a Sony mp3 as it do what it says on the box plays music untill you tell it not to and not just decide to stop at random. Well not only stop but switch it's self off reset the date to what ever along with the time.
    This needs to be sorted out now and not in a few months never mind releasing a new one 32Gb how about you get the ones out there right first.

  • Please help - computer turns off randomly

    I purchased my computer in the US in september - right before I moved to London. Mid november it died. The computer would turn on and chime, but the screen was dead. I took it to a 3rd party repair (which apple phone tech support insisted was just as good as the apple store) and they replaced the logic board. It all seemed fine until I took it home and used ichat video with my family - the computer turned off. It didn't shut down, just seemed to pause and go dead. I could reboot it and it had no recollection of incorrect shutdown with the exception of firefox. (I dont know if this is important, but every time it does this and i reboot, the sound resets to mute) I started to notice that the computer does this any time I use video functions for an extended period of time (or at least 20 minutes). I have brought it to the apple store twice, where they have repaired it twice. I have gone through at least one more logic board, a heat sink, something to do with the power adapter, as well as the battery. They cannot find anything wrong - 3 repairs later its still shutting down so I went to apple again. Unwilling to give up my computer YET again, they recommended I archive and install. I have now done that - now my computer is crawling - still crashing - and some programs decide to open up occasionally or start and stop without a crash notice. I tried to run disk utility and it froze. On top of this all, they recommended I download xslimmer to convert old power pc programs to the current intel format I'm running on my new macbook - this seems to have complicated things more. I asked them to replace the computer during my last genius bar visit, i was told that because my computer was purchased in the states they cannot replace it, and I will not be heading back to the states soon enough to have it replaced there. So anyone with any insight, please help! I bought a new computer so i wouldn't have to deal with these problems and its turning out to be more of a headache than my old powerbook g4.

    I also forgot to mention that every 45-60 seconds there are two faint tick sounds coming from inside the computer.

  • My iPad Mini turned off randomly and wont turn back on.

    I was using my iPad for games during school and it just flashed a blue screen and turned off. I turned it back on and it worked for a couple minutes then the screen started doing weird things and popping up with random thin black lines. It has turnbed back on a couple times after that and it just does the same thing. I have tried resetting it by holding the home and lock button, and I would try and reset it through iTunes but it also won't connect to my computer. There is no physical damage on the device. I have only had it for a couple weeks. It has never been dropped or missused.
