Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

please help me..
my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
help!
does this happen to any of you??

I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
Anyway, try playing a song and try again.

  • Help! Ipod wont turn off

    Hi
    The sleep function on my 20 GB Click Wheel Ipod has ceased to work, I can click the white centre button on the sleep option and it makes a "clicking sound", but nothing happens
    The ipod goes to sleep when paused by itself but it I then try and flick the hold switch when its in sleep mode it turns the ipod back on
    Anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    Thanks

    First what do you mean it won't turn off? DOes the screen stay on or what?
    To turn off an iPod or put in in "Sleep" mode in other words, you just hold down the play/pause button til the screen goes off

  • Ipod nano wont switch off

    I have a 4g ipod nano. I went away for a month and left it at home unused, only to find when I got back it now wont switch off when I hold the middle button of the click wheel and stays permantly on. I have tried to restore and reset it, and yes, the hold button is off.

    Welcome to discussions
    Well first, you're supposed to hold down the "play/pause" button to put the iPod to sleep. Try that and see if it works.
    If that doesn't work, press and hold the select and menu button at the same time until the screen goes black/blank. This is a soft reset of your iPod. Your music will be safe.

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

    Hi HARISH INDIA,
    That is not good but lets see if we can get it back to life. If you can, see if you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you can get it to restore, it will erase everything off your iPhone. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud then you can put that on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • My ipod wont switch on anymore. ive tried everything! what can i do?

    my ipod wont switch on anymore! what can i do??

    Get it serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. The choice is yours.  There is no telling what the exact cause of the issue is whether it be a dead battery or another damaged internal component.

    my ipod wont come off itunes and usb plug in

    Did you:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                          
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Iphone 5 wont switch off

    My iphone wont switch off, I have switched it of from the top and then by sliding the off button and soon after the apple logo appears again
    I have been noticing that battery is draining faster than normal please help

    Hi shortynav,
    It may be applicable to isolate the issue further. To do so you may want to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

  • Ipod kept switching off

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Yesterday my ipod kept switching off during songs. A tap on the central button switched it back on and it continued playing but kept doing this every minute or so. The screen just kept greying out.
    Today I switch it on and it plays fine continuously. Is this just a glitch or can I stop it if it starts doing it again?

    I had the exact symptoms you describe. (nano 3rd gen) Not sure if it was necessary, but I went ahead and performed the restore. So far it's going along as it had before.

  • Ipod wont shut off or restore :(

    I want to restore my Ipod, but I follow the directions and nothing is working how it should.
    My ipod wont shut off (yes I've reset it)
    I plug it into my computer and it goes from "do not disconnect" to "okay to disconnect" back and forth, back and forth
    I opened Itunes and I don't see the "source" (my Ipod) so I can do a restore on it.
    What do I do?
    I tried to open the apple updater and it gives me a windows error and "needs to close" so that wont work
    what the **** is wrong with this

    I was able to put it in Disk Mode. When I plugged it into the computer it said "your ipod needs to be restored to be formatted with windows. would you like to open itunes to do this" or something along those lines. BUT when I click okay, itunes opens and my Ipod keeps going from "OK to Disconnect" to "Do not disconnect" over and over and I can't do anything.
    The Ipod update still isn't working
    what now?
