Ipod 4th gen keeps turning off

My iPod 4th gen has a full battery, but it keeps turning off.  The power button does not turn it back on, I have to put it on the charger.  When I do that it shows a dead (red) battery.  Can someone tell me why???

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.

  • My ipod 5th gen keeps turning off whenever I unlock it!

    A few days ago I was on my ipod 5th gen and it randomly restarted itself, I didn't think much of it but as soon as I unlocked my ipod it froze for a second or two and restarted itself again, it happens every time I unlock it, if i stay on the home screen its fine and I can access my music but it wont connect to any wifi and always restarts itself every time i type in the passcode. I've tried going into itunes to back it up and restore it but it needs me to allow access to my ipod by unlocking it (which i cant do) and saying i trust my computer. Nothing ive tried has done anything and i cant back it up cuz i cant unlock my ipod without it restarting itself.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off.

    My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off while listening to a song. I was happier with the older version which they claimed had a battery problem and replaced it with the newer version. The batterrry on the 6th gen is fully charged.

    You aren't pushing hard enough on the headphone jack and plugging it all the way in. The headphone jack is very tight when new, make sure the white plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the Nano.

  • My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

    Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
    What should I do?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

  • My ipod touch 5G keeps turning off and on after i turned off everything in mobilesubstrate settings on SB setting!

    Ok, so i just jailbroke, and my ipod was going into safe mode a lot on its own, so i searched online for a solution, and that was to find the problem cydia tweak i downloaded, one of the ways was to got into the mobilesubstrate settings and single out the tweak, so i turned everything off but one, then my ipod shut off, and now it keeps turning off and on non stop, but never goes to the lockscreen, and the time for this startup and shutdown is prolonged! please Help!!!  i tried to restore with itunes but it keeps turning on and off!

    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • IPod 5th Gen keeps turning on and off!! ***

    My iPod 5th Gen just keeps turning on and off, I dunno why but it just does!
    I just updated the iPod about 10 minutes ago, and it completed then right after it comes up with the Silver Apple logo, then lights up, then shuts down, makes the hard drive clicky sound too. And just does that over and over and over again. I hate it.
    I've tried to put it into Disk mode, and Menu+Select and Menu+Play. Nothing works!
    What do I do??

    im having the same problems but once i get my ipod into disk mode i cant seem to restore it..
    You restore it when plugged into your computer and it shows up in iTunes. The restore function is in iTunes. Sometimes you have to force the iPod into disk mode in order to get it to mount and show up in iTunes.

Iconnect it to the charger or pc and it will show the black screen with the baattery charging in red. But when i disconnect it it wont turn on it turns off.

    Check the sleep option, maybe it being hit accidently. Maybe reset your setting on ipod, check background setting. Seems strange.Maybe use the hold button to lock ipod.

  • Apple TV 3 gen keeps turning off.

    Hi,
    Recently i returned home to find my Apple Tv would not turn on.  So I reset it using a Micro USB in Itunes on my Mac Book Pro.  Since doing this it has turned on played a song for 2 maybe 3 minutes and turns off and everytime i try to go to the menu to Reset it,  it then turns off again.  Obviously this is really frustrating as i cant do anything with it.  I only bought it last october so its like new.
    Many thanks for any help in advance.
    Bumbers

    Push on the power plug on the back of the Apple TV to be sure it is all the way in.  Check the other end of the power cable and make sure it is securely plugged in to a good electrical outlet.
    Have a nice day.

  • HT201412 My iPod Touch 4th Gen keeps shutting off (like it's dying) and turns white and looks frozen...then an apple logo appears and takes a while to come back on. This only happens when I try to edit photos (cropping, especially)? Help me pleaseee!

    When this happened the first time, I seriously thought it wouldn't come back on. I was trying to crop something out of the of a photo and it shut off like it was dying (it was fully charged) and then froze, turned white, then an apple logo appeared. Once it turned on i went back to do what i was doing and it did it again. The next time it turned on, I went to play Design this Home, and it didnt shut off..so my only reasoning is that this happens when i edit a photo...i haven't done anything abnormal with my iPod and don't understand why this is happening...please please help!

    That is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1. The iPod "crashes" when editing photos. Just do not edit photos and wait for the next update. Most users have said it crashes when editing screen shots.
