Ipod 5G turning on and off problem

Hope someone could help me with this, basically I got my ipod for less than a month, and I am facing the following problems.
1)"Sometimes" when turning on the ipod there was no response till pressing the buttons for several times, at the same time a black and white apple sign also showed up
2)Ocassionally when shutting the ipod off while watching or listening files by pressing the play/pause for more than 10 seconds the ipod won't shut off where all it does is pause, I need to retry turning off several times for the ipod to shut off.

"I need to press several buttons simultaneously for it to turn on is that normal?"
No, you should be able to wake the iPod up by pressing any button (so Apple tells us). However, my iPod video will only wake up when I press the select button. Same for my nano.
This contrary to what Apple tells us.
"To wake iPod from deep sleep, press any button."
However, the iPod 5th gen and the nano have "hibernation" which is basically a power conservation mode similar to deep sleep.
There isn't anything specific in the deep sleep article which relates to waking these two iPods up. Pressing any button won't wake mine up, I've always found the select button does it.

  • Help, My iPod just turns on and off...my PC doesn't even get to "see" it.

    I just got the 5G 60 Gig iPod. I was charging it for the first time. And of course windows wanted to jump on in. iTunes started up and wanted to transfer music, the unit wanted it's initial setup, but iTunes switched it over to th Do Not Disconnect mode. I got the register your new iPod screens to come up, then music started automatically transfering. Then I got I must reboot my computer screen...I ignored it, figuring it had to finish getting the music transfered. Then about a 1/3 into the music tansfer, I got some kind of could not find error concening the music, then my computer stopped doing anything. I did a restart, no all my iPod does is turn on and off by itself, (from the Apple icon, to back off) and won't stop doing it. I tried resetting the unit, but then it still continues. Connecting and reconnecting the USB cable, restarting the PC etc....Help, what do I do. Frustrated is beyond what I'm feeling right now...I keep thinking what the **** I just spent, for this to be the end result!! Is this unit fried? Or will it get damaged!!! HELP

    I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
    The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
    I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
    This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
    When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
    Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
    Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
    hope this helps,

  • My ipod classic turns on and off continually I cannot reset. This happened after trying to sync with my pc.

    My ipod classic continually turns on and off. I cannot reset and have tried many times. This happened when I tried syncing with my pc. My pc runs vista.
    i Recently had my pc system hard drive wiped and restored.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • My ipod just turns on and off when I plug it into my computer instead of syncing and charging. What do I do?

    I have updated my itunes, bought a new charger cord and everything. My computer doesn't recognize it, and it just turns on and off. Help?

    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the unit and charge it overnight.  Do not use a computer USB port.  Do not use an iPod/iPhone charger.
    Battery technology has come a long way in the past several years.  Your battery might be totally discharged but I doubt that it's truly dead.  Good luck and please post back with results.

    My new 30 gig iPod does something similar to his. It repeatedly turns itself on and off, won't be recognised by computer and stays at the apple logo when on (backlight turns on and then off) :/

  • Ipod - erased disk... now ipod only turns on and off

    I had problems with my 3rd gen ipod skipping through songs. At the suggestion of the genius at the local apple store - I was to go to disk utility and erase my hard drive (using zero out function) and then reload my songs in itunes. about 4 hours into the operation nothing was happening - just a constant "scanning disk prior to erasing" message kept appearing. I finally disconnected the ipod and did a restart. Now the only thing happening is the i-pod just starts and stops and restarts - over and over again - showing the apple icon. System profiler show the ipod as an unknown device. disk utility does not recognize it as a disk. Can anybody help
