IPod no longer shuts off

Hey folks,
I've had my iPod (the 30GB video) for a month or so, and things have been awesome overall with it. Just today, however, my iPod stopped recognizing the command to turn off (holding down the play/pause button). I've checked to make sure it's not on hold and that the play/pause button works in general. If anyone has had a similar issue or knows of any potential fix, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

try reseting your iPod and then trying to turn it off.
also, wait until the backlight turns off, and then try to turn it off.

    My ipod keeps randomly shutting off while in use even when charged any ideas why this is happening?

    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - 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 does not shut off (? firewire problem ?)

    My Ipod does not shut-off and I don't wan't any of the "have you trouble shooted" have you restarted your iPod"....yes and yes I have done all the troubleshooting and have restored my ipod. It says
    "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided.
    Press Center to Dismiss"
    It says that on my iPod not on iTunes andI am connected to USB and I'm not even completly sure what a firewire port is and yes I do press eject everytime im done using iTunes and take out my iPod....I'm Stumped

    1. Try a different USB port on your computer.
    2. If that doesn't work, try a different cable to connect your iPod,
    3. If the above two steps do not work, check the connector on the bottom of your iPod and make sure there are no bent pins.

  • 8GB iPod touch Atutomatically Shuts off?

    Does the 8GB iPod touch turn itself off after not being used for a long period of time? Just bought one for my mother and it seems to shut off over night when left attached to the PC, never had this happen with any other iPod i've owned including my iPhone.

    If your computer is turned off or in sleep mode your battery may drain when your ipod is connected.

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time.  Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

    Hi,
    I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time.  There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time.  Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch.  Thanks!

    Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

  • IPod doesn't shut off, doesn't synchronize, doesn't repair

    Hi,
    I just managed to transer my music from my iPod to my computer. During that process I lost all my music on my iPod, which caused me already a lot of trouble. Now finally all that music is in my new iTunes library (I changed my pc). But now the iPod doesn't synchronise with iTunes. I already tried to repair him, but there always comes an error.
    I have noticed that a lot of hints about this item involve shutting down and restarting the iPod, which I tried... but didn't work. I can push the middle button for as long as I want to, he has no intention at all to shut down.
    So, I can't repair, nor restart, nor synchronise my iPod anymore.
    Does anyone have any suggestion about what I can do? Or is he really totally messed up?
    I just installed iTunes on my PC yesterday, so that's the latest version.
    ps: I took my iPod with me on holiday where I plugged him in to reload. But since then (1,5 month ago) I sometimes hear a strange ticking-noise coming out my iPod. It sounds like little electric pulses. I guess that's not really normal, but has it anything to do with it, or could that be dangerous?

    Sometimes to turn my nano off, I have to let the battery die. It wont shut-off. I don't have an answer for you, because I'm having the same sort of problem. I wonder if it a design problem. could it be built in obsoletion?
    My wheel moves when it chooses and most of the time it doesn't. I can't reset because the wheel problem. I have never dropped it or got my nano wet. Short of buying another nano I'm not sure what to do. HELP.

  • My ipod dock keeps shutting off after 1 hour

    I have a Pioneer xw-NAS3 dock and I run a brown noise app at night to help drown out noise.  It had been working fine, and now last night, the dock shuts off on its own and then when I started it back up, it shut off one hour later.  The manual for the Pioneer says that if no ipod is connected in one hour, the unit will shut down, but there is an ipod connected the entire time and the simply noise app is running constantly and not set to shut down.  I'm mostly sure it's a docking issue because it also shut down after 1 hour while using an ipod nano and a predownloaded 12 hour loop of brown noise.  Any ideas to try?  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Nothing on Pioneer's site for my product. I did email, nothing yet.
    I did try resetting the dock.  didn't solve the problem.
    Yes, the device does charge, and there are no noticeable issues, and like I said, the unit worked great one week ago. 
    No damage or problems evident. 
    Thanks. 

  • IPOD Nano V6 shuts off without cause after 20-50 seconds.  How do I fix this.

    Recently received a new V6 as a replacement for first generation.  When running songs, it shuts off after 20-50 seconds if the ipod is not continually hand held.  What gives.  How do I fix this.

    Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of your earbuds is flush with the Nano.  You shouldn't see any of the silver from the plug still showing.

  • Ipod shuffle just shuts off

    my ipod shuffle just shuts down after about 20 secs.
    it has a full battery and latest software.

    SORTED!!
    After looking at other comments on here the problem was my earphones!
    I was using my iphone earphones (slightly different type jack) and for some reason this was causing the shuffle to shut off after around15secs.
    I’m assuming because of the slightly different jack type connection the shuffle didn’t recognise there was earphones in (even thoughthey worked) and went to sleep thinking it was just playing without earphones.
    Was frustrating at the time and found this place very useful!!!
    Thanks
