Ipod does not shut off

my ipod classic, after being removed "unsafely" from the computer, now it is impossible to shut it off.
all the other functions seem fine. Please, do you know how to restart or reset it?
Thanks!

  • IPod does not shut off (? firewire problem ?)

    My Ipod does not shut-off and I don't wan't any of the "have you trouble shooted" have you restarted your iPod"....yes and yes I have done all the troubleshooting and have restored my ipod. It says
    "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided.
    Press Center to Dismiss"
    It says that on my iPod not on iTunes andI am connected to USB and I'm not even completly sure what a firewire port is and yes I do press eject everytime im done using iTunes and take out my iPod....I'm Stumped

    1. Try a different USB port on your computer.
    2. If that doesn't work, try a different cable to connect your iPod,
    3. If the above two steps do not work, check the connector on the bottom of your iPod and make sure there are no bent pins.

  • IPod will not shut off, or perform any of the 5 R's

    My iPod will not shut off, or perform any of the 5 R's. The screen is illuminated with no logo's at all. I try to reset the ipod with menu and select buttons and it beeps after 7-10 secs. This happened when i inadvertantely unplugged the ipod while trying to upgrade. I thought the upgrade had stopped or was having a problem. Can someone please help before i have a very expensive 60 gig frisbee!!!

    Try to set it to Disk Mode, and re-do de restore.

  • My MBP 13 does not shut off

    Hi everyone, my new MBP does refuse to shut off or restart. I have had it for less than two weeks. It gives me a message that some applicattion is running (different applicattion, depending on what i have been using). In force quit there is nothing, It looks it is not able to extit Finder. I need to shut pressing the power switch every time. I read a previous discussion but I have nothing running in backgroung, no time-machine, no peer-to-peer, no external device.
    Any clue?
    Anybody things I should try to give the machine back to apple?

    I'm trying to help my Dad; he has a new MBP and it won't shut down properly for him either. We've used the myriad of keyboard shortcuts and they work for a while and then they don't work anymore.
    I read a technique elsewhere on the web that could maybe work (No guarantees-don't hold me to this; it's just something I read by googling this topic). Turn the laptop off, unplug it and take out the battery and hold down the power button for 2 minutes - then connect the laptop with the power cable without the battery and do a few restarts - this may cure it I've read. But I can't be certain of this and holding down the power button seems suspect to me so....

  • ITunes does not shut off

    After having used iTunes the program only can be shut off via ctrl alt del. I have the latest update from XP and iTunes installed. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

  • IPod will not shut off

    Just yesterday I realized that I my IPod wasn't turning off when I pressed down on the bottom buttons. I tried running a diagnostic and it said everything was okay. I really don't think that it is a software problem, I am starting to wrry it may be hardware. Has this happened to anyone else? If so what did you do?

  • Twenty inch Imac display does not shut off in Yosemity.

                   I am blind, My Mother who can see informs me that the background has been on for days.    

    Hello James,
    Display sleep and computer sleep can be adjusted in System Preferences -> Energy Saver. It may be that Display sleep is set for Never, which will keep the screen on as long as the computer is on.

  • I have an older nano (4th gen?) and it will not shut off and when you try to skip through songs it skips itself back.  Buttons seem to be pushing themselves. I've tried doing a hard reset and it did not work.

    My older nano is not working.  I have to keep it plugged in all the time because it does not shut off.  The buttons only work sometimes and then they scroll and skip forward and backward by themselves.  I have checked updates and I have also reset it back to factory and it is not working.

    Hello mistymorrill
    If after all that you have tried and your iPod nano is still not working, the refer the page below for further options.

  • Ipod will not turn off

    my ipod will not shut off. any suggestioins?

    No you are CLEARLY not alone. BUT, PLEASE do not get sidetracked with superflouous issues. It does not matter what you used to synch your iPod nor does it matter how you connected; when you bought it; or any of 5 million other distractions. The point is (believe me I've DONE the research and if you don't believe me, feel free to read ALL of the Google entires!) after you synch your nano (and also your 5th Gen Video iPod) you will NOT be able to turn it off the normal way. If you try to play a podcast at this point it will likely freeze your Nano (but that's a whole NEW thread with another giga-thousand people upset with a lack of response...) IF you mash the Menu and Center buttons you can reset the unit and likely gain control over it again. If that makes you happy - go for it. As far as I am concerned, this is NOT an answer. I want a fix. How about you?

  • My iPad will not shut off when I close it?

    My iPad does not shut off when I close it

    It is not supposed to swtich off when you close the cover. It is supposed to go to sleep. Check Settings>General>Lock/Unlock>On. If the iPad is already set up that way, try resetting the device and see if that fixes it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • TS1474 I have already reset my ipod shut it off as well. I have upgraded Itunes and the ipod does not want to show up on Itunes anymore. It used to before but now it doesn't. How do I solve my problem?

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • I've tried EVERYTHING.  iPod still will NOT shut off...

    My iPod has refused to shut off for over a week now. First I went through all the usual steps (resetting dozens of times) and I still could not get it to turn off by pressing play/pause. I then restored my iPod and the thing will still not shut off.
    Oddly enough it will turn off if it is being charged, but if it is not, it will remain on. Even the SLEEP button does not work!
    I haven't the slightest idea what to do now. Any and all help is greatly appreciated
    60gb iPod photo   Windows XP  

    Had a similar problem. holding play/pause didnt turn mine off.. (also 60GB iPod Photo). But mine did turn off if I disconnected the headphones while its on hold to make it pause and then then automatically switched itself off after a couple of minites of not being used. If this is a bad batch watch out... i've just had a hard-disk failure. see

  • My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

    My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

    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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
