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.

  • My ipod wont turn off!! please help

    i did nothing to my ipod to make it not turn off. i was listing to it for a while and when i decided i was done using it i wanted to turn it off and it wouldnt work. i can go from one song to the next with no problem and i can pause it and all that good stuff but it just wont turn off. i tried letting it cut off by itself( put ot on pause and wait for a couple of min) but its been almost a half an hour and it still hasnt turn off. please help me!!!

    Have had the same problem for a couple of weeks. Have tried the 5 Rs and other tips found on this site. Nothing seems to work. Only thing that does work is if ipod is connected via USB and itunes is running. It can then be turned off and will remain turned off when you disconnect your ipod. But this isnt much help if you have to connect to your computer each time you want to turn your ipod off! Still waiting for a complete answer I'm afraid ......

  • My iPod mini's dead...Please help!!!!

    Hi,
    I bought a 4gb iPod mini barely 5 months back. The other day as the battery drained completely i connected it to my laptop to charge it. But somehow my iPod is not responding at all. its like dead. i have followed all the instructions
    1) Reset the iPod (release hols and keep toggling it)
    2) Restarted my laptop
    3) pressed the "select" button for more than a minute
    4) tried connecting to another laptop
    5) ran latest iPod update 2005/10/12
    6) testing on spare USB. Infact all my USB ports are free.
    Please help me!!!!! i dont know what to do. its been 48 hrs since my ipod is connected to the laptop but it shows no life. neither does my laptop recognise my ipod.

    Ya i feel relieved. somehow none of the guys in my office could think of any options. wish i had joined this forum 2 days back. Luckily none of my songs have erased. cool.
    anways its working now and i sure am glad!! Thanx guys

  • 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 Touch Turns Off Randomly. Please Help!

         I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about 34 days ago. In the past 2 or 3 days my iPod has been shutting off randomly. I would be using an app, and it would be unresponsive, and turn a blue vertical lines on the top of the screen. I then have to use the sleep/wake button and the home button to turn my iPod back again. I bought it at Walmart because there is no local Apple store near me. It sometimes gets hot and I have turned off location services to make it cool down a little bit. I can trust Apple products usually, but this is out of the normal for me. Please help!       Thank You very much in advance.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Mini Battery Icon with Lightning--PLEASE HELP!!

    When I turn off my iPod, the battery symbol shows up on the screen with the lightning bolt on the left of it--even though it's fully charged. When I leave like that for a period of time and come back to it--the screen is blank but the iPod won't turn on again until I plug it in and charge it again. I think that symbol showing up is running down the battery or something.
    This all started when I plugged my iPod into a different computer and I guess it got "confused" and shut down and I couldn't get it to come back on. However, I plugged it into my car charger and reset and it seemed to work fine except the battery icon in the corner had that lightning bolt.
    It works fine otherwise it just seems like I will have to have it constantly charging instead of letting it sleep?!
    Any advice?

    You should run the battery test to see how the battery is performing as per Apple's instructions.

    - 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.

    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.

  • I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

    I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

  • Can't fuse music from iPod to new PC iTunes Library - please help!!

    I recently moved to a new country and transferred all my music on my iPod. Just bought a new PC and installed my iTunes, but can't figure out how to get my iPod music onto my Library. Please help, I'm getting frustrated!!!

    Apparently, you open the music folder from your iPod drive (after it's been connected), then highlight all the files from the iPod folder and drag them to your My Music folder and import the folder to My Library. Don't forget to enable view of hidden files beforehand. Takes a little while, depending on how much music you have on your iPod.
