Ipod mini 1.4 random turns off / resets itself

my last mini had battery issues and was thankfully replaced by the people at Apple with a brand new mini.
however, this brand new mini has issues. sometimes when i press the select, skip or play buttons, the unit will reset and i will see the Apple logo. this happens when i am using it normally and also when i have it docked in my car (using with iTrip). this is really frustrating!
i checked the calendar, alarm, etc. but none of these are set. sometimes i can play it with no problems at all, and then it will restart when i go to skip, play or pause a track. this should not be happening with a brand new unit!
please, if anyone can help, let me know. otherwise, do i have to shell out another 50 bucks to have this one sent back like my last one? grrrr!

Just got off the phone with apple, there seems a problem with the new firmware, after installing the new firmware on my iphone it then asked for the usb driver.
If you get this same problem you need to go into device manager update the driver for the iphone from the following location, c:/program files/common files/apple/drivers.
After this I put the Iphone in recovery mode and downloaded and installed the new 1.1.4 firmware.

  • Mi ipod touch 5th generation randomly turned off and it wont turn back on or charge. what should i do?

    hi!
    i have the ipod touch 5th generation and last night i was using like i normally do,but the it just turned off and i thought that my battery died so i put it to charge but im pretty sure that my battery was at least 40% so i found that a little bit odd and when i plug it in it didnt make any sound and nothing showed on the screen. I kind of just ignored it so i let it charge the whole night and the next morning when i woke up the firts thing i did was to check on it. My ipod still wont turn on or charge and tried to connected to my computer but nothing shows up. i will really appreciate if someone could help me.
    thank you (:

    - 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.
    - 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.

  • IPOD freezes during play or turns off by itself or the music plays very slo

    hey i had my ipod for almost 2 years now. its worked fine for awhile but recently, when i am playing my music it either
    1) shuts off and turns itself back on
    2) freezes and then the battery bar is reduced to nothing even after i charged it or
    3) while playing music, its sounds really really slow, kind like when cassette tape is messed up or you are playing music really slow.
    what should i do?

    This just started happening to me today. I've had this iPod for about 7 months.
    One thing I can think of, and it might not be much help, but I have not synced my iPod for a long time, since I rebuilt my system.
    I have hesitated because I am afraid I might loss the contents of the iPod, so until I finish watching all my programs, I am hold tight.
    Do you sync your iPod with your system frequently?

  • Samsung Gusto randomly turns off

    I just bought a Samsung Gusto a couple weeks ago and it's randomly turning off by itself.  I can't figure out any pattern...sometimes when i get it out or open it to see if i've gotten any messages it's turned off.  This is really causing problems as I'm missing some important calls and messages - it's been very unreliable and it's driving me crazy.  Has anyone else had this problem? If i go into a verizon store will they give me a replacement or are they all having this problem? Thanks.

    @Lbow87
    Wow! No the Gusto shouldn't be shutting off like you described. I can't imagine how frustrating that situation would be for you. We definitely want to get this corrected immediately.
    I've contacted Samsung and this is not a known issue with the Gusto. Is there any physical or water damage to the device? Please remove the battery and see is there any corrosion or buildup where the battery connects to the phone. Is the battery loose in the back compartment?
    Please let me know so we can get this resolved promptly.
    Thank you

    Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.    
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • 30 GB ipod randomly turns off.

    I received a 30 GB ipod as a Christmas gift. At first it worked fine but a couple days ago it began to randomly turn off. I can turn it back on again but it continues to turn off on its own. Any suggestions ?

    My 30 GB did this after I had added some music that I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store. Is this the case for you? Do you notice the iPod turning off when your listening to music that wasn't purchased from iTunes? If so, I just deleted the songs from the playlist and it never happened again. ~.~

  • Why does my iPod randomly turn off?

       I have an iPod 3rd generation. I will be playing an app,surfing the web, or checking my emails and my iPod will randomly turn off. First it will dim to the point you can barely see it, then it freezes, and turns off.  I have tried restoring it, and a  force shutdown. I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!!
