My iPod was working just fine, and then when I went on YouTube, it flashed a blue screen (for like one minute) and then restarted and shut down. Should I be worried? What happened?
My new iPod 5th gen did the same! I think it might be a YouTube and iOS connection glitch

My iPod Touch randomly shut down and won't turn back on.
This has happened before so i know what to do, BUT, my main menu button has been broken for a month so I just shut down my iPod to get out of apps. But, now since it won't turn on and I can't reset it, how do I fix it?
Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode, use this program:

If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Since purchase of my macmini (2011 model) I have been able to wake it from sleep by hitting the (wired) keyboard space bar.
However, I recently updated the OS to 10.7.4 using the combo (1.4Gb) update, since when I cannot wake the macmini in that way.
Now, after putting the macmini to sleep, pressing the spacebar causes it to shut down.
I then have to switch mains power off and on again at the wall socket, after which the macmini starts up from shutdown condition.
I am by no means an expert, and have not been fiddling with settings, so I am in need of advice on what could need resetting to allow me to return to the previous simple 'wake up' approach!

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Followed by resetting the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Then if those do not fix the problem, you may need to reset your Energy Saver and Keyboard Preferences by readjusting them. -
I have tried deleting the program and reinstalling it but it is not working. It is really annoying since I use it for my photography business. I can not work in a program that keeps shutting down.
You must always, always use the uninstaller in the PSE 12 folder in applications. Unfortunately, you broke some stuff by moving the program that way, so now I'm afraid you have a bit more work to do. First, download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
That will not actually remove anything, but it frees things up so you can go around and manually remove stuff. After running it, you will need to scurry around your hard drive and trash all the bits you can find. Start in your username>library>preferences. To see that library, option click Go menu in the finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. look especially for files beginning com.adobe.whatever. While you're in that library go to the saved application states folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Next you need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>library>application support>adobe and delete all the PSE stuff in there. That library isn't exactly hidden, like the user library, but it's hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Hard Disks under Show these items in sidebar. Then the next time you open a finder window your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want for this will appear in the top level of results.
Finally, after reinstalling PSE, be sure to immediately go to editor>help>updates and update to 12.1, then repair permissions. -

My iphone 3gs shuts off when flipping to different apps or running certain apps. If it crashes badly I need to plug power to the device to bring it up. This happens whether i have even 90 percent battery life. Any idea as to what this may be?
Sounds like a major hardware problem.
If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem. -
Hi guys so I have an iPod touch 5 16 gb and I'm very confused? I have heard ipod 5 has airplay but on my iPod touch i don't see like an airplay icon! Please help me because I'm very confused! I know my name is IPOD_GENIUS but I'm not a genius on this though! Lol thanks for the help maybe this can help someone else too!
If you have both a device that supports AirPlay, and the iPod has Bluetooth turned on, then it should appear in Control Center (swipe up from bottom).
If you are talking about AirDROP, then in Control Center, the AirDrop button is right below the volume controls. (This AirDrop only works with other iOS 7 devices with AirDrop enabled, not Macs). I have tested this feature, and it works fine. -

How Can i turn on my ipod if it shut down and my home button doesnt work?
Im not sure what to do if my ipod won turn on after it shut off randomly and my home button doesnt work.help?
You can use the Power button to wake the iPod so yu cn then unlock the iPod.
Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes.
You can also use theis program to place the iPod in recovery mode without using switches.

If yuo have iOS 5 you can, when the iPod is working, use Assistive Touch accessibility feature to do most functions without the Home button. (Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch).

2 problems -- ipod won't shut down and song skips
Hi --
on certain songs (I've figured out I think that it's those with album art), I select the song but the ipod plays the next song in whatever selection I have.
Also, sometimes I have a very hard time shutting off the ipod.
I keep installing the new updates of firm-ware but with the same problem ... any ideas???Try restoring your iPod with latest iPod Updater... Yes, I know, you updated.

is their any person out there having same problem as me ? with their i touch it seem.s to have to have i mind of it,s, own ? every time i go to website our play music it takes off to either apple site or jumps to itouch settings
Well, firstly, you have posted on the wrong section of the forum. This is an iPad discussions. Anyway, regarding your issue, try to reinstall the iOS. I've never heard of iOS behaving like this. However, jailbroken iOS mayhave some wierd behaviours because of the access granted to the apps.
I hope it helps
