Ipod doesn't turn off and volume doesn't work

My Ipod touch is 2 months old--all of sudden it wont' turn off and the volume doesn't respond.
I have charged it, synched it and done a restore--nothing fixes.
It sometimes will allow me to turn the volume off (once a day) but then most of the time doesn't respond
I can't click "home" and "off" at the same time b/c all that does is turn the voice recognition on.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try placing your iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring it to factory settings/defaults via iTunes:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.  Otherwise, make a reservation at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store. 
Hope this helps!

    - First try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Next connect to a computer and restore the iPod if theiPod appears in iTunes.
    - Next see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    - 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 another cable                     
    - 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.

  • HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

    When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IPod won't turn off and other topics

    Hello,
    Just bought a beautiful new MacBook Pro, but need some help troubleshooting:
    1. When I first plugged my iPod (slim, black, 30GB) into the USB, my music could not be found. I ejected it, waited, and plugged it in again. This time my computer won't recognize my iPod at all, and my iPod bears the sign 'do not disconnect' and cannot be turned off. I did disconnect it eventually when I saw there was a problem, but am stuck on how to reboot my iPod now and try again. Any suggestions?
    2. If and when I do get this problem resolved, how can I transfer the music from my iPod to my empty iTunes library? Why isn't my music showing up, if it's still on the iPod?
    3. Is there an easy way to manually transfer photos from my iPod to iPhoto without erasing or overriding anything either one already contains?
    4. Unrelated to iPods: Entourage is having a **** of a time importing my emails from hotmail. It keeps crashing, is creating duplicate files, and is generally speaking, making a mess. Any word of advice on how to use Entourage in conjunction with a hotmail account? Also, if I send and receive mail from Entourage will I still be able to see the same emails from a remote location in hotmail, or does one replace the other?
    Thanks so much for any advice! Your help is greatly appreciated!

    For 1) You may need to reset it. Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
    If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few/several tries.
    For 2) ...

  • My ipod nano just turns off and on when i repeatedly plug in headphones and the sleep/wake button is disabled while I have my headphones plugged in

    My Ipod Nano basically switched the function of turning on/off when i plug in the headphones. I found a way to beat this by plugging in my headphones an even number of times, but when I do this, the Sleep/Wake button is completely rendedered useless. As soon as the screen turns off I cannot change songs by double clicking, but I am able to change volume. The same is for trying to sleep the screen. I have tried factory resetting the ipod and using different headphones but the problem seems like it is not affected by these steps. I also tried to clean out the headphone jack and the result is the same.

    Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
