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.

My mini turns itself on

I solved this problem by using the hold button whenever i turn off my mini. unless i suse the hold button, the mini turns itself on at random times.

Yeah. Unless you slide the HOLD button after turning off your iPod it'll turn back on again because of how sensitive the click wheel is. A slight touch and iPod is on.

My mini turns itself on even when the Hold button is on, and I also have the alarm and calendar turned off. I've done the 5 Rs, retuned to factory setting, etc. No help. The thing is possessed, I tell you! Started happening about 2 weeks after the warranty was up. Go figure.

How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
If not, the power button stuck down.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly

My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly. I will be doing something, and it turns off. It gets so bad that it turns off right after I slide to unlock it. Sometimes it flickers off and on as well. It works fine when plugged in to a power source. I haaven't done anything traumatic to it either. It just randomly started. Has this happened to anyone? If so, did you fix it? If you did, How? Please tell me, I'm at the eand of my rope with this.

Depending on the usage and age of the device it could be the battery.
To make sure it is not software related, reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back gain. You will not lose data doing a reset.
Next step after that would be setting it up "as new device" without using the latest backup: How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

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?

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 keeps turning itself on and off but wont start

My iPod has been turning itself on, but before it's past the screen with the apple it turns itself back off and it will repeat doing that until the battery runs low then it will sit on the battery screen for a few minutes. After it gets some juice it starts back up with this crap. I figured it wasnt the battery because it was almostly completly fully charged when it started happening. It was when I was charging it, and when I was done I removed it from the computer properly; pushed the button to start it up and its been doing this disturbing ritual since. Ive tried every thats been suggested on this site, and I'd love to restore it, but iTunes doesnt reconize it. I've been trying to fix it for hours working with both the iPod and Windows but nothing seems to have any affect on it. I am afraid I'm going to have to replace the entire thing.
If anybody knows anything that might help, please, I'll take any form of it ya got.

I posted something earlier this week and i realized we have the exact same problem!!!! Sorry, but the bad news is that restore won't work!!! I put it on disk mode so the computer finally recognized it. It also charges on disk mode. I charged it for over an hour. But after i tried restore, it went back its old routine! Now I'm starting to charge it on normal mode for four hours, just in case. Have you tried the 'drain it for 24 hours' thing? I've seen it on several websites, but haven't tried it yet. SOMEONE HELP US!!!!!

Ipod constantly turns itself off and requires a restart

I have a 1st generation Ipod Touch 16GB and recently it has begun turning itself off when i'm doing something such as listening to music or using an app and when i turn it back on the Apple logo appears for 2-3 minutes and then the date and time is reset to 1st January 2000 00:00am. I have had it less than a year so it's still under warranty but i don't have the receipt. Any tips on how to fix it are much appreciated.

If that's the case, I'd say call Apple for help processing a return. Can you find a credit card transaction showing the purchase? I get emails from the Apple store when I buy my iPods. I get a receipt at the store, PLUS I have them email me a copy. Good luck

IPod keeps turning itself on and off after attempted update

I attempted to update my iPod touch 4 from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 but now my iPod keeps shutting itself off and turning itself on.

- Try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then try to restore the iPod.
- If you could not restore and it is still turning on and of and on and off...let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

Ipod keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until battery goes dead

please help.....my ipod just keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until the battery goes dead. The only thing that will show up on the screen is the apple logo and then it will power cycle over and over and over! I have tried reseting it but I am limited to what I can do because the computer will not recognize the ipod when i connest it to my computer.

Take it to your local Apple Store

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".

My iPod touch turns itself off automatically

I got my iPod touch 2G 16GB this Monday and it reacts strangely when it plays music or video using the speaker, it turns itself off automatically. Is it because of the low battery? Or anything else?

it might be because of the battery, or it could just be that it is putting itself in "sleep" mode, if that is what has happened it will "wake" when you push the hold or the home button. but im not sure this is just a guess. what happens when you push one of the buttons after it has shut down? does it continue to play the music once it has turned off?
