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.

  • 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 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 Touch randomly turning off and on

    Well I just discovered that my ipod touch 3g is having some problems. It randomly turns itself on and off. I've read up on the forums and I am suspecting a little water damage maybe. I use little drops of water to clean the surface of my ipod and maybe somehow it got water inside it? Is it possible that this could happen? For now I put it in a cup of rice to try and get water out that may be there. But is there any other possible problem that's causing this? I've tried force resetting it twice but it's still having the same issues. Any help would be appreciated

    If you only restored from backup, restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • 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

    Recovery Mode is your last resort per the instructions here.  Also, read this.
    If still no joy, make an appointment with the resident "Genius" at the closest Apple Store.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • 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

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    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.

    My iPhone 3GS randomly turns itself off during texting or call

    Is your battery very run down?  Try charging it for hours (or overnight).

  • IPhone 3GS randomly turns itself on and off, even when charging

    My iPhone 3GS 8GB keeps turning itself on and off randomly like every 5 minutes. It does this even when charging. I've had my phone for a year and haven't had any real problems out of it until now. It died on me last night so I plugged it into my charger. It came on then 5 mins later went off by itself and turned back on. It did this all night. I finally unplugged it to see if that had something to do with it, but it didn't. Anyone have any insight on this or ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    my does the same mate i have tried everything
