Ipod Nano , wont turn off ,displaying "charging" icon instead

Hey y'all
ive been using this ipod nano for a while now,no problems
recently updated it to the newest firmware
anyhow it doesnt turn off now,instead when the stop button is pressed for a few seconds,the screen goes blank then the "charging" icon appears even when the ipod is disconnected
also,when the ipod is working the battery meter doesnt show,
and the "charging" icon is displayed instead
i tried restoring the ipod a few times,no effect
any ideas?

Hi, my ipod nano has exactly the same problem---won't turn off, shows the big charging icon instead, even after resetting it many times, and successfully restoring/updating the firmware to v1.2. It plays music fine, but it won't shut off.
What ever happened at repair shop, did they say what is wrong? Maybe I have to send mine to a repair shop too.
Thanks

    The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.

  • Ipod nano wont turn off?!

    Hi. (:
    I can't get my Ipod to turn off. The display is still onm but it wont play. Its like its frozen. please help!?

    Sorry, that wasn't exactly helpful was it. Hopefully yours is recoverable. Eventually it will pass out from battery exhaustion and then you can plug it into your conmputer. Start itunes. I migth take 30 minutes before it appears as on icon on your computer. Make sure you have the latest ipod updater software. Once the icon appears on your itunes go ahead and restore. You WILL lose all our your songs on your ipod if they are backed up in your itunes library. After restoring load it again with your music and see if it happens again. Hopefully that will solve it.

    PS make sure your hold button is released or itunes and your computer will not recognize it at all.

    The iPod Nano battery will not charge unless you connect it to your computer, to an AC outlet with a wall adapter, a charging dock or an auto adapter/dock.
    You battery is always discharging when idle or shut off.  You should read the manual for your model iPod Nano regarding batteries - iPod Manuals

  • 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

    My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
    I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi VeerleD,
    If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

    Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
    this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

    I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
    However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
    Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
    I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

  • Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(

    By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thank you!!!

    I'd say that the iPod is toast.
    Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit.

  • 30GB ipod video wont turn off

    all of the sudden after a month of having my ipod video, it wont turn off
    any idea what to do? will resetting it even help??
    it plays music just fine and nothing wrong with the connection to my computer

    Like the guy said, different levels. You only have to hold down Pause, and then the system goes into Sleep mode. The problem is that you probably moved your finger when the button was pressed. Don't. Keep your finger still on the button. This happened to me oh so many times
    Otherwise, add a Sleep item to your Main Menu. Hold down Menu for a few seconds to go back to the Main Menu. Go to Settings > Main Menu. Scroll down to "Sleep", and turn it on. Now go back to the Main Menu, and choose the Sleep option.

  • My ipod nano 6 turns off when it fades to black

    Whenever i try listen to my music, and leave my ipod alone it turns off when it fades to black. I tried using the Wake Sleep button but it stops my music and fades to black. I've looked in setting to find a way to change that but haven't been able to. How do i prevent this from happening?

    Nevermind, i figured it out. The headphone needs to be all the way in the port. No shiny part, i was scared of breaking it so didnt think it went all the way in.

  • TS1383 Ipod nano wont turn on

    Hi, I have an iPod nano and have just set up itunes etc. I have followed all instructions to set it up. As soon as it is all charged and ready to eject I eject and then the iPod will not turn on. It is as if it wont turn on without beging connected to the latop.  Any suggestions? Many thanks

    My iPod recently did this as well, so I restored my iPod by taking all the stuff (all of the video and audio) off and re-syncing it. I then restarted it by pressing both the home and lock buttons simultaneously, and it worked very well.
    I hope this is helpful!

  • IPod Nano wont turn on

    I have had my Ipod nano for about 2 yrs , and i take good care of it: but suddenly one day it works then the next i cant even turn it on. I have attempted to charge it in a few docks but nothing happens, it is just dead. I have tried all the reset techniques but to no avail.My computer doesnt register it there either.
    can anyone help with this issue plese?

    I got angry after about 3 hours of messing with it and then was tempted to swing my ipod like a lasso until it hit my tv on accident, all that did was give a nice dent in the back of it, but hey it actually turned on haha but it was still frozen
    - like a light tap sideways should work, happened to me a few times, as if your trying to set off the flash off in an old camera, but don't be to mean to it geeze :S. then try to do the hold ( menu + >= ) should start up enough to get windows or mac to recognize it.
    after i got it to start i got a program called EphPod, my savior .
    - plug it into the computer and start EphPod
    - it cracks the ipod software and sets it at factory defults again (not trying to talk about other software btw, just happens to solve this problem)
    - then shutoff EphPod and go into iTunes, reinstall and updated ipod software. only had to do it like twice so far.
