Ipod Mini Drains Itself when off

Fully charged a new battery and left the mini off for 12 hours and the battery is drained. There are no alarms on. Seems the mini wants to run even when it's off. Suggestions.

callibrate the battery that might help
You cannot calibrate the battery. This simply "calibrates" the battery meter.

Ipod mini drains itself

any ideas on how to keep my ipod mini from draining itself? i'll charge it and it will be totally charged, and i'll make sure i turn it off. the next day it shows that my ipod has been playing music(to nobody) and the battery will be drained! i've tried everything i can think of, i even make sure i don't leave the headphones plugged in, but it doesn't work!

well, my ipod has stopped draining itself (for now)
yes, i have been using the hold button(but that isn't what solved my problem) I'm not sure what solved it! it just gets problems, then fixes them itself!

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

Ipod constantly resetting itself when plugged into Itunes.

My new 5G 80gig Ipod constantly resets itself when I plug it into Itunes. Any ideas? The Ipod is new...

Here's what I've done so far unsuccessfully:
Placed it into disk mode, but it does the same thing. Once plugged into the computer the ipod is recognized by both windows and Itunes but it resets itself within 30 seconds. It constantly keeps resetting itself.
Also, since it keeps resetting itself, and therefore disappears form itunes, I cannot reformat/hardreset it via Itunes....

IPod mini wakes itself up

my iPod mini has an annoying habit of waking itself up and playing music. This happens with or without the lock on, whether I've left it in my backpack or on my desk. RThe result is that I typically find that the battery is used up even when I haven't used it for days. I've updated the software and reset it, to no avail. Any suggestions?
thanks
Todd

Shut off the alarm(s)
Go to ;
EXTRAS > CLOCK > ALARM CLOCK > ALARM > OFF
and
EXTRAS > CALENDAR > ALARMS > OFF
Cheers!

IPod mini turns itself on

My iPod mini will be off, untouched (not charging, either) on my desk or wherever and turn itself on over night or during the day. Most any large period of any unattended time, really. But not always, maybe once or twice a week. It doesn't matter if the hold is in the locked or unlocked position, it will still turn itself on and wear down the battery. What can I do? Thanks

Hi Acfro,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have noticed this problem as one of my iPods has gotten older. You might want to try Resetting Your iPod.

Ipod mini not recognised when connected

When I connect my ipod mini to my laptop the ipod just freezes, and the laptop does not recognise it. Have tried all the suggestions on the ipod mini troubleshooting page and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Since this problem started, have you shut down (powered off) you computer, then started it up again? I assume this iPod worked with this computer before, and it is not working now for some reason...
You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
then connect it. If that allows iTunes to recognize it, you may want to run a Restore on the iPod from its Summary tab (in iTunes). This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

Ipod Mini reset itself while playing

Don't know if this is an issue or not. I was playing my songs shuffled and in the middle of a song the ipod shut off and reset itself. The ipod is only 1 day old, just wondering if this is a problem or what could have caused this. It had almost a full charge at the time.

Hi BB,
Thats amazing, 1 day old iPod Mini.
The first thing you should try is the "The Five Rs".

Ipod Mini Locks Up When Using It With A JVC KS-PD100

Since I've updated my iPod mini to the latest version of the firmware it locks up when I use it with my "Made For iPod" JVC KS-PD100 adaptor.
This allows me to connect my ipod to my JVC car head unit and control it via the head unit.
It worked perfectly when I had the old firmware on the iPod, but now I have updated it to the latest version (after a warranty repair) I get the JVC logo appear on the screen and it all works fine with the head unit, but when I disconnect the iPod, the controls are still locked up. I then have to force a re-boot of the ipod to be able to use it again.
I've tried to download an older version of the ipod updater, but all the links I try give me the latest version of the updater when I come to install it.
My questions are
1. Has anybody else had this problem?
2. Are apple aware of it?
3. I'm guessing it's a software problem, or have I geen given a duff rarranty replacement?
4. Where can I get a copy of the older ipod updater - preferrably the october version?
Any help would be most appreciated as I've e-mailed apple and had no reply at all!
Thanks
Ross

I've tried that already - but then the iPod is connected to the sterio, the iPod controls are disabled so I can't switch it off at all.
If I disconnect the iPod before turning the sterio off, the ipod stays playing until I reboot it
It worked perfectly on my old ipod with the old firmware, if I turned off the sterio, the JVC logo woulds disappear, the ipod would be paused and use of the clickwheel controls would be returned automatically.
I'm guessing it's a bug in the latest iPod firmware

IPod mini reboots, restarts when scrolling (up)

Hi all,
I have an odd problem. I can turn on my mini, then try to navigate the menus, and I can scroll down just fine. When I try to scroll up, I reboots and shows the apple logo. Then it starts up just fine again.
I have tried restoring it and even running chkdsk on the disk for the heck of it (does that even do anything?), to no avail.
Any ideas?

By the way, this happened before I replaced the battery last night. The problem still exists with a new battery, and just now it showed the battery symbol with a . I don't think it is battery related though...

IPod Mini Won't Turn Off

HELP! The iPod mini (about three months old, 4GB) will not turn off. It was fine until today. I have followed all the rest instruction, but it's still stuck on "on". The guidance in in the on-line mannual is -- well, you guessed it -- useless. Any ideas?

First make sure you have not locked it or put it on
hold, (check the top of it to see).
If that does not work try to hold down the pause/play
button for a few seconds, or reset it by holding down
the menu button and the select button for a few
seconds.
Hope that I helped you.
Thanks for suggestion,but that was in the PDF instructions, so that was the first thing I tried. Anyone with any other ideas?

My iPod keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! Whats going on?!

My iPod Classic 5th generation 30GB keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! I recently restored it (which helped with another problem), and I put all of my songs back onto it, but then when I went to go play a song, it just restarted itself! So I tried again, and it just did it again. No matter what song I choose, it will restart itself. So I went onto the support site and it told me to try toggling the hold switch a few times and then hold the menu and center buttons together to restart it. I did this and I thought it was going to work (I got it to play 3 songs!!), but then again...it restarts itself. I have to repeat this everytime I want to listen to a song, and even then it's not guaranteed to work. Needless to say, I'm getting a little frustrated! Any solutions?! PLEASE HELP!!! I need my music

Why would iPad mini disable itself when correct passcode is entered?

My daughter's iPad mini disabled itself even though an incorrect password was never entered? It started with a 15 minute lock out followed by 30. At some point it went to a 60 minute lockout and after a half hour or so reverted back to 60 minutes for no reason. I finally got my hands on it and after the 60 minute clock expired I correctly entered the first three digits of the passcode and the iPad promptly disabled itself for good. This makes no sense. I'm aware of the restore drill. What I want to know is this: Why did this happen and is there some sort of Hail Mary play that will prevent a complete restore.

Did you reboot the router?
If that doesn't work, test it... will it connect to a public router (wifi) like in a bookstore or public area? If it works, then the problem is with your router.

My ipod doesnt start on when off the charge and wont come on when i plug it into the computer, now it has the iTunes icon and says to plug it into that, but i cant cause it wont turn onto my computer. How do i get my pictures back?

So, my ipod will not stay on, when I take it off the charger it just goes dead. I cannot plug it into the computer and have it go on; I guess it doesn't have enough power for the battery. But, just the other day, I unplugged my ipod (went dead) plugged it back into my kitchen and now it goes on but an ITunes icon pops up and says for it to be plugged into it, but like I said it doesn't work on the computer. So, now I lost all my pictures but I was wondering how I can get them back? Or get rid of the Itune icon to actually get back on my ipod?

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 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.
