IPOD MINI Mysteriously turns on

Before I retire for the night, I turn off my IPOD mini and set the hold button. I do not want the batteries to run down.
BUT . . . in the morning, it is on and the batteries have run down. It is on the same song every morning. It is not playing, nor is the light on.
ANY help would be appreciated .

  • Ipod mini keeps turning itself on and playing

  • 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. : )

  • 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.

  • IPod mini not turning on

    i deperatly need help.
    my iPod mini wont turn on. i have it connected to the computer but nothing happends. i pressed the circle for 10 seconds and nothing happens. its a fairly new mini and i didnt drop it and theres no cracks.
    what should i do?

    try a reset ( it's actually the menu and the middle button together at the same time)
    if nothing happens with a reset or resetting when connected to computer, it may need repaired...
    you can go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod or go to a local apple store if there is one near you www.apple.com/retail

  • IPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200

    My iPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200. Does someone has the same Problem?

    I just bought my ICARPLAY Wireless 200-ZML. I have an iPod with clickwheel (20Gb).
    When I conncect the ipod to the wireless transmitter the checkmark sign appears, as described in the manual. After that, instead of returning to the ipod menu, the checkmark disappears and turns up again. This keeps on repeating itself. No menu, no sound. Pressing 'S' on the transmitter has no effect.
    Is this what you mean? Anyone also seen this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    regards, Rob

  • Dropped Ipod Mini only turns on when on hold

    I dropped my Ipod Mini down the stairs of my two story house on accident. Now it wont turn on unless I have it on hold which isn't good because then I cant play any songs...because it's on hold and wont move. The instant I take it off of hold in turns off. It WILL however play songs on my Ipod Home but I can't choose what song I want to play. It will just start at the top of the songs and play A-Z. The only way I can get it to play songs on the Home is because I'm controling it from the home not the ipod...if that makes sense. So am I just S.O.L.? Should I just replace my ipod (oh ya and I've had it way past the warranty) or is there hope?

    My goodness.. that's really unfortunate. But, with the drop and everything, it kind of sounds like a hardware problem rather than software. But I'm really not sure, so you might want to bring it to a store like circuit city or best buy or an apple store and ask about it.
    I don't know, see what others here say before anything though, because you never know about those $50 per question policies they have at those stores.

  • Ipod mini wont turn on or respond

    updated to the latest itunes, transferred some songs to ipod mini, properly disconnected an ipod through itunes, unplugged. about 15 minutes later wanted to listen to ipod but it would not turn on. the screen remained blank, tried plugging ipod back to pc, but the screen still stays off, doesn't even charge or anything. I tried reseting ipod without any luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Emin,
    Are you resetting correctly?
    Did you update iPod Updater to the latest version?
    Have you tried to restore your iPod to factory settings?

  • Ipod mini keeps turning on  and off all the time. Help

    I got this ipod mini in may, it worked great, but then all of a sudden it started to turn on and off once in a while mostly now it happens once a day..i checked if maybe the timer was set but it wasnt at all, can i fix it by myself or do i have to send it back to the factory for the warranty repair.

    the same thing is happening to my ipod mini, I received a brand new mini in July, and every time I use it it shuts on and off whenever I touch it, even with a fully charged battery, and it also shows the battery sign, do i need to get it serviced?

  • 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.

  • Music from iPod mini mysteriously disappered

    Hello
    I simply charged my iPod mini. Initially it did not charge, so I disconnected the A/C power and plugged it in again. It charged overnight however this morning I turned it on and all of my songs are gone!
    Does anyone know what happened?

    Hi Lex&Liz&tay,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You may want to try "The Five Rs". Do you still have the music in your iTunes library?

  • Ipod mini wont turn on or charge

    I really need some help with this one... i recently got my 2nd gen blue ipod mini replaced by apple and the new one they sent worked for approx 3 days and now wont turn on or reset...i figure the battery has run flat but when i plug it into my usb the charging battery comes up on the screen but is stuck on the 1st bar and wont move...i have tried resetting the ipod while it is plugged in but the charging battery symbol goes away for a second and comes back. What do i do?!?!?

    It may be that your USB port is not delivering enough power to charge properly. Try an AC adapter or car charger, or USB on another computer.

  • Ipod mini wont turn on

    i got a replacement mini from apple 2 days ago and it is very frustrating. it took many many attempts to get it to even upload songs and now that there are songs on it, it wont turn on. It is fully charged, i have tried resetting it, i have tried to re-update itunes and everything, it still wont work. The only time it turns on is when it is plugged into the computer and the hold switch is on. as soon as i turn the hold switch off so that i can actually scroll to anything, it turns off. PLEASE HELP

    Does the computer see it when it's connected? Have you tried Restoring the iPod?

  • Ipod mini randomly turning itself on

    ok so that probably sounds weird. but i'll turn my mini off using the standard method (Hold the play/pause key til it switches off) and it'll go off so i put hold on for safe measure. a few hours later (this is between 2 and 12 hours) i'll randomly realise that my mini has infact, switched itself back on. nothing has touched it - remember, it's also been placed in hold so i can't turn it on.
    any ideas what's going on?

    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.

  • My ipod mini wont turn on at all no matter what i try

    I've tried toggling the hold button while holding down the menu and select buttons, and i've tried a few other things that i have been told to in the situation that my ipod wont turn on, but none of them will work. right now it's hooked up to the usb cable on my computer, and it has been for the last couple days. i think all this might be because ive been too lazy to click eject before i unhook it a couple of times before, but i dont know.

    It seems you are not performing the reset correctly. Don't worry about the hold switch...just press and hold menu and select simultaneously for about 6 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear. If you have an AC adapter, plug the iPod into the wall socket using this and then try the reset.
    i think all this might be because ive been too lazy to click eject before i unhook it
    Bad idea! You should always eject it properly or you risk corrupting the hard drive...it would be a shame to have to fork out for another iPod just because of laziness!
