IPod 30GB 5G sometimes does not turn off...

Hello,
I just got my iPod 5G and have been playing around with it. Very awesome player!
But, I have a question about it turning off when I hold the play/pause button. Sometimes when I hold the button, the iPod turns off but if I move my thumb around on the scroll wheel, I can hear it click and when I turn it on the volume was adjusted. But, sometimes when I turn off the iPod by holding the button, the iPod turns off and I do not hear it clicking when I move my thumb around.
I can also hold the button just long enough to turn the backlight off, but that mode I am aware off.
Is the iPod supposed to be doing what I described? Is it another mode of operation to conserve the battery?
Thanks,
Alex

my 5g 30gb ipod first did that when i got it. it would shutoff but moving my finger around it still clicked so i just switched the hold button on and i heard nothing but after a week it just didnt turn off at all and the only way i could ever shut it off was when i had it plugged in to the computer.

  • My iPod 160GB just does not turn OFF!

    My iPod 160 GB just does not turn off. Every time i press down the play/pause button, the iPod switches off and comes ON almost immediately. This happens even when i switch it off and immediately turn on the "Hold" button. I am having this problem only since the last 2 months or so. What could be the problem?

    Then you should try restoring the iOS software next. Read this and pay attention to the last part of the article that describes recovery mode, you may have to restore your iPad that way.

    The safe boot more or less resets system files.
    When it is something in the hardware:
    1.do the Pram and the SMC resets:

    2. shutdown the mac and startup while holding the ALT(option) key: choose the Recovery Disk, from the window choose Disk Utility, select the Lion disk, choose "repair disk".
    When it is not a hardware problem:
    3. List the applications you installed in the last 6 months, also the ones from the Appstore.
    4. List the plugins (extensions) you have in Safari.

  • TS2771 My ipod touch gen 2 does not turn on and will not let me charge it.

    My ipod touch gen 2 does not turn on and will not let me charge it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Screen does not turn off near my ear

    The screen backlight does not turn off when you place it near your ear. Anyone else have this problem?

    What I found, especially with my Boxwave case (that iLounge didn't give high marks for), was that if you hold the earhole up directly to your ear, the screen does turn off.
    I checked and rechecked it in the mirror, and if I deviate a few cm higher or lower, then no, it won't. But if it's right up to my ear, then it does.
    By the way, I love the Boxwave case. The leather foldover protects the screen when sitting in my brief case.

  • What do I do when iPad 3 does not turn off?

    What do I do when my iPad 3 does not turn off?

    Try a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Sound does not turn off when switching between AppTabs, ie Pnadora to other radio stations

    I have several radio stations (Pandora, NPR, etc) as Apps Tabs, but the sound does not turn off from one when switching to another.

    Thank you. This is precisely the type of solution I was looking for.
    My home network is set up with a single router that assigns DHCP addresses and does the NAT to the internet. This router does not have wireless. Its location is too out of the way (given where Comcast brought the line in) to be any good at wireless broadcast. So I installed two access points on the wired network.
    I had vaguely known something about using the same SSID on the multiple base stations but I had also heard of difficulties a university reported having some years ago.
    In any case I made the switch and it works great. I get full bars on the icon on the menu bar as I walk around the house. Exactly what I was looking for and no manual intervention once I set it up.
    Thank you.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  See if that clears the glitch.

  • Imac  27" does not turn off

    Hi,
    I have a brand new iMac 27" all in one, which works perfectly except for the fact that 3 times out of 4 it does not turn off with the normal command and I am obliged to turn it off with the back switch, after it remain for various minutes  with the blue window on and the wheel running.
    Initially I tried to disconnect an external HDD which was connected by USB and seemed to have solved the problem for a few days, but now the problem shows up again.
    At the moment I have connected only a Bamboo device on the USB port.
    I have tried to Verify the HDD and repair the disk, but no improvement.
    Any suggestion on how to proceed?  Thank you
    SS

    If all the prior steps have not resolved the issue then at this point I would suggest:
    Remove any additional memory you may have added to the system
    Reinstall of the OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8177.html
    If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    If this issue was occurring right out of the box on the brand new system without you adding any additional software / migrating data from an older Mac, be sure to let them know that as well.  Its unusual to have a blank, brand new system have this kind of behavior so that will save them some diagnostic steps.
    Best of luck to you.
