IPod is not turning off well.

My iPod is not turning off well. Sometimes I have to try 10 times for it to turn off. Any reason why?

For a more long-term improvement for your iPod's issue of not turning off, you could try restoring it in iTunes.
For info on how to restore an iPod to factory settings, see this article:

Hello houseman06
Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

IPod will not turn off after being used as an external HD in Windows

I have disabled the option to have Itunes open when I connect my Ipod and I turned off the iTunesHelper in msconfig. This allows me to use my Ipod as an external HD without interference by iTunes. I have found that since upgrading to Ipod firmware 1.1.1, after I disconnect my Ipod using the Safely Remove hardware option in Windows XP SP2 my iPod will not turn off. I just turn on the lock, and let sleep mode set in after 2 minutes.
This only occurs if I connect the iPod as an external HD and does not occur when I connect the iPod with iTunes open to sync my music library. The problem started with firmware 1.1.1. Is anyone also having this issue, and if so, is there a known solution?

If you are not past the 2 weeks return period you can just return it.. for sure the TC is not ideal when you want something to store files.. the fundamental issue is lack of backup. The TC cannot back itself up. Nor can Time Machine in the computer backup network drives.
To mount the TC disk in finder.
Use Go, Connect to server. in the top menu.
Type in AFP://TCname.local or TCIPaddress. (where TCname.local is the correct network name of the TC.. ie not its name as typed in, if it includes spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe. You need to find the actual network name from network utility netstat scan or better still use proper naming on the TC.
Local is the default domain and helps.
If the TC is in router mode the IP is static and is better used than the name.
AFP://10.0.1.1 for example with default IP is far superior way to identify a network resource.
The disk password will be requested. Add it to your keychain.
It is better to load files to a DMG or sparsebundle.. See Pondini for info.

Ipod will not turn off, no longer recognized

iPod asked to update to latest software. Upload failed and ipod left in state where it will not turn off, and is no longer recognized in itunes or as a device.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod 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.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Retore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem then your iPod needs service.

IPod will not turn off using click wheel

My 30G iPod won't turn off unless I put it in the universal dock and use the remote. It will not turn off using the click wheel. I've tried resetting the iPod, and also changed the "Settings" back to the factory default, and that didn't make any difference. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does the iPod sucessfully reset?
Try resetting the iPod...
Resetting iPod
After it resets, wait about a minute. Now try turning it off.
Also, try activating the sleep timer on the iPod. Does that turn it off? (Go to extras-->clock-->[select a clock]-->sleep)

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?

Ipod backlight not turning off

ever since i updated the firmware on my ipod (stupid idea, i know), the backlight will not turn off when plugged into my computer. this is not an issue of the ipod being broken, rather a "feature" that was included in the newest firmware that was not mentioned in the changes section. aside from being annoying as ****, i'm worried that the cfl backlight will eventually die due to the constant use. of course, when it does apple will say that it merely reached the end of it's life and it's not covered in the warranty that expired already. is there any way to save the ipod from it's now inevitable demise?

Hi. I had the same problem with 1.1.1 then after upgrading to 1.1.2 the problem was solved. But if you already have 1.1.2 then try restoring it but don't forget to backup all the music first because it will erase your iPod. XD

30GB ipod will not turn off

Everything seems to be working fine, music, videos, connection to itunes, and no sudden trauma has happened to the ipod. It just will not turn off and I am wondering if there is another way besides holding the pause/play button. Should I reset all settings? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset your iPod - then see if it'll turn off.
Cheers!

My ipod will not turn off please help???

Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
Here's what you can try:
1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

My 30G ipod will not turn off

pls help - why won't it turn off?

Not sure... I have a mini, but my mother's 30gb iPod I got her
for xmas, has all kinds of flaky problems like these. I showed
her how to reset it and it usually comes back up and functions
properly. Try pushing (and holding) down the center button, and
while holding it down, push and hold the menu button. It should
reset ('reboot') in about 5-6 seconds.

IPod is not turning off

For some reason, my iPod has not been able to turn off lately. The only time it turns off is if it's plugged into the charger, but I obviously can't carry that around with me and a socket xD Any ideas of how I can fix this? Thanks

- Then connect to cpmputer and restore if it shows in iTunes
- If iPod is still frozen on, let the battery fully drain. Then after charging for an hour try the above again.

IPod did not turn off

mmk...so my friend was listening to my ipod and went to turn it off (the correct way) and she said she held the play button but it wouldnt turn off. she was listening to the song, but there was no music playing when she turned off the ipod, the light was still on, and you couldnt scroll up down or select. SO i decided to let the battery go out (when in use i would say it was 75-80% filled) and now im going to try to charge it.
this iPod is less then a month old, im afraid (even if it does still work) that the battery life will now be s@#! since it had to drain out in order to work
should i take it back or use it for a few days and contact apple?

Sorry to hear that.
