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!

  • 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 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 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 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

  • IPod mini reset itself, all songs gone

    Help! I turned on my mini last night to find the language screen asking what language I wanted...then I found that all my songs and playlists were gone. I'm away from my home computer all summer so is there any way I can get those songs back? I miss them already!

    Laura, I wish I had an answer, but I'm posting hoping that someone else will answer too. I encountered the same problem last night. I turned on my mimi last night at the gym and all the songs, playlists, everything, were GONE! I tried to copy the playlist to my mini when I got home, and the Powerbook and iTunes recognized the iPod, and let me copy the playlist over, and I could see the playlist in iTunes through the computer but when I ejected the mini from the computer, nothing was on the mini. I'm at a loss.
    Help!

  • Ipod mini keeps turning itself back on whenever I turn it off.

    My ipod mini turns itself on whenever I turn it off. It's still under guarantee but if I get new one will I be able to download the music from itunes or will I need to start again?

    Are you putting the iPod on Hold using the slider whenever you turn it off? The clickwheel is quite sensitive and a touch will bring it back on. If you were to get another one, as long as all your songs are in iTunes you would just have to connect it to your computer and it would pretty much walk you through the installatation and automatically update.

  • IPod mini does not restore - Any advice?

    My iPod mini is frozen, after switch on, on the Apple logo.
    Doing many resets do not change anything. Battery is OK.
    I have tried restores, but the iPod is not recognized, when connected either through firewire, or USB, on 2 different MAC iBooks.
    All tricks given on Support page have been tried (the 5 R method), to no avail.
    Any tip or idea welcome.
    This iPod mini is itself an exchange for a previous mini that had battery problem, and is less than 4 months old!!

    "the iPod is not recognized, when connected either through firewire, or USB, on 2 different MAC iBooks."
    Given the above statement, I would say it needs replacing again. As a last resort, try this from an Apple troubleshooting article.
    In rare cases, iPod might get into a state in which it needs to be drained completely before it can be reset. If iPod didn't turn on after you reset it, follow these steps:
    Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
    Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or computer and reset it."
    After that, try the restore again.

  • My iPod mini keeps turning itself on.

    Well my iPod mini keeps turning itself on although i've turned it off and put it on hold. It's draining the battery and it's annoying me as when i go to use it i can't because the battery is flat. Does anyone know why it's doing this and can help me please?

    Sounds like an alarm is set.
    Go to Extras>Clock>Alarm Clock and turn off the alarm.

    My Ipod Mini battery drains down without any use. Is this normal. My HP Ipaq 4155 battery does not drain down without any usage. Can anyone help me please. Thanks, Jeff

    Well just an advice. Be sure that the alarm of your iPod is not set.

  • Ipod mini keeps turning itself on???????

    My 4GB ipod mini keeps turning itself on. It does this even when it is locked. This is a real pain as it keeps running the battery completely flat.
    Can anyone suggest why this happens & how to stop it?
    Many thanks.

    Your welcome. Another thing I ought to have mentioned is to check calendar events also. : )

  • IPod mini turns on by itself, please help!!

    I have had my iPod mini for about 2 years now and I started to encounter two very annoying problems within the past six months.
    1. My iPod turns on by itself. It doesnt matter if the hold button is on or off, being charged or not... it just turns on and starts playing. I was actually sitting at my laptop with my iPod next to me (off) and I watched it turn on by itself! I dont know how to make it stop!
    2. When it is palying a song, it changes playlists in the middle of it! The weird part is, that the playlist that it changes to doesnt exist!
    I dont know how to fix either of these two problems and it seems like no one else has these problems but me! Please help!

    You most likely have an alarm set.
    To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

  • Ipod mini turns on by itself even though it's on a lock mood

    My mini ipod is about one and a half year old. I use my Bose speaker as the charger and my ipod out of no where turns on by itself even though it's on a lock mood. It's been happening a lot lately, even when my ipod is not charging. By the end of the day, when i want to use it my battery is low because it's on even though i didn't turn it on. Sometimes, I caught my ipod being "ON" even though nothing triggered it because its on a lock mood. Any suggestion of what is wrong with it?

  • I have followed the step-by-step instructions to try and fix my iPod mini, but nothing is working.  It continually turns itself off and on, and in and out of disk mode. How do I fix this? please help!

    I havent used my iPod Mini in about a year, but last time I was on it worked.  I have tried almost everything.

    Sounds like your battery is failing. If you have AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can still take to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.
