Hold button turns iPod off...

I looked through the forum and found one person who had a similar problem to mine but their question wasn't answered.
My iPod has two main issues right now, after having gone through the 5 Rs. My computer and iTunes does recognize it but...
--The hold button when toggled instead turns the iPod off
--The click wheel (no matter how many times I refresh it) doesn't respond (except the Menu button)
Is there any hope for it or should I look into shipping it to an Apple Store?

Have you been through these? (I don't think there's anything else you can try)
The Five Rs.
If nothing helps, you can arrange online service here.

Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

  • IPod Touch, home and lock buttons Turn iPod off, help!

    Whenever I press the home or lock keys on my iPod touch it comes up the screen with slide to turn off and cancel, even if I press cancel it proceeds ago turn off, and then won't come back on, unless I connect it to a power connection, I have tried restoring it, and still will not work.

    It it sill happens after restoring the iPod to factory deaults/new iPod, then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,
    regan101

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • Hold button turns on ipod

    Ok so have done everything i know of to fix this. When i put my ipod on hold it turns my ipod on starting from the apple screen and goes to the menu but i can do anything becuase the buttons are locked. When i take it off hold it turns my ipod off and it wont even charge. Pleas tell me what the **** is going on! Am I an idiot? I will be happy to own up to it if someone can help.

    Your iPod is actually working 100% correctly. It's supposed to turn on when you turn off the hold switch, and it's not supposed to show the Apple logo on startup unless it's been asleep for long enough that it goes into Deep Sleep or Hibernate modes (usually somewhere between 14 and 36 hours).
    Also, holding the Menu and center does not "restore" the iPod, it "resets" it. Big difference there. Resetting shuts down the iPod and boots it up from scratch, hence why you get the Apple logo, it's the same thing as restarting your computer. Restoring your iPod is done with the iPod Updater application on the computer, and doing that erases the iPod completely and puts it back to factory settings.

  • Must turn iPod off and back on to play a song

    Hello everyone,
    Almost everytime I go to use my iPod after it has been turned off for more than a couple hours I have the following problem:
    I can navigate through all menus, and select a song or video to play, but the song or video will not play. Instead, the song or video just sits at 0:00, forever.
    Hack Solution:
    The only way to get any song or video to play is to turn off the iPod (by holding down on the play/pause button) and then turn the iPod back on. Once I have done this then I can play any song or video without a problem.
    Notes:
    1) I have sent my iPod to Apple for this problem, and they sent it back without doing anything saying they found no problem, even after they told me on the phone this kind of activity should never happen.
    2) I have reinstalled iTunes
    3) I have updated the iPod firmware
    4) I have reset the iPod
    5) I have restored the iPod
    6) I use Automatic Syncing
    None of the above have solved the problem.
    Thanks for any advice any of you can add!

    When I turn on the iPod it goes to the last menu I was in, or to the song that was playing when I turned it off. The apple logo never comes up. Yes, it responds right away (but it won't play songs). I only use the hold button when I put the iPod in my coat pocket, the use of the hold button has no apparent effect on whether or not my problem occurs.
    I called Apple Tech Support this afternoon. They do NOT believe that my problem is a software problem.

  • Trouble with turning ipod off

    I have a Ipod 30gig Video and when i go to turn it off, sometimes it will take me five to ten tries. I do it the way it tells me to by holding in the play button and sometimes it works perfectly; but other times it will take me many tries. I don't know what the problem is.

  • Help! Unable to turn iPod off!

    Well, this is what happened...
    ... Last night when i tried to turn my ipod off (by pressing and holding the play/pause button) i held it for 3 seconds then the backlight went off (but song was still playing), then when i release my finger from the play/pause button the backlight came back on and continued playing the song. I tried for 5 minutes to turn the ipod off but it just wouldnt go off. Eventually i gave up...

  • Hold button on iPod (touch wheel) 3rd gen problem

    well my hold button on my 3rd gen ipod touch button has just stopped working so when you slide it nothing happens, which is a problem as it is all touch button so it keeps changing tracks and stuff without me pressing anything.
    so i was wondering if anybody else has had a problem like this and if so how they had it fixed because calling up the apple support the fix was about £170! might aswell get a new one, so any help from anybody will be appreciated.

  • Cannot Turn iPod off of Disk Use(!)

    I have tried everything to get my iPod off of the disk function, so that when I plug it in it will start iTunes automatically. I have checked the right options under the iPod tab in iTunes, but it still does not change. I haave even used iPod updater to restore it, but it still is opening as a disk when I connect it to my computer. Any ideas?

    I have had the same problem. I have found the following.
    1) Windows media player will see the iPod and try to sync. Somehow this "forces" it into disk mode. Just something I noticed on my PC.
    2) Someone on here posted that some anti-virus software will affect somehow into disk mode also. I have yet to confirm that. But my disk mode is turned off in iTunes and I still can see it as a disk at times. I have yet to pin it down to a certain pattern.

  • Tried to turn iPod off, stuck at rotating wheel screen.

    I held down the sleep button, and slid to turn off my iPod, and got to the black screen with the rotating wheel, and it hasn't gone away for two hours.

    Try 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.  This may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this more than once.

  • Need To Turn iPod Off???????

    Is it necessary to move your iPod to the "Off" position when it is not in use??
    I am asking because all the iPod cases that clip to your waist do not provide access to the "Off", "Play in Order", or "Shuffle Songs" button. Surely it is not necessary to take the iPod in and out of the case every time you use it.
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!
    Ipod Shuffle 512MB   Windows XP  

    I only turn my Shuffle OFF when it occasionally needs resetting or I'm charging it with the USB Power Adapter. Otherwise I just PAUSE it. After an hour or so the Shuffle puts itself to sleep and battery drain is minimized.

  • Hold button on ipod classic stopped working

    Hi
    I know this is an old problem and I've looked into resolving the problem, but
    ... OK, at the moment unless using a docking station functionality is zero. Genius Bar suggested using a remote control with headphones which I guess would work, but is there something that allows you to access 'menu' as well as just the basic functions /PLAY/FF/VOL/etc when on-the-go?
    thanks in advance!
