Ipod shuffle green statuslight will not turn off

Dear
I tried several times to reset my ipot shuffle,
and to install new from the original ipod CD.
In itunes there is no problem, Ican see the ipot in the list, and there is no failure.
But when I disconnect it, and turn it on with the switch,
the green status led on the front is lightning, and it will
not turn off.
When I push buttons, there is no response.
Before this failure, the green status light went out
after 3 seconds when switch on.
what can I do?
I dont feel like wasting my time trying to get it
running again. What I need is a clear discribtion
what to do, because I did find nothing with this
sympthom.
Cheers A.O.

I have the same problem. It happend when I deleted and reinstalled the Itunes software. The software installation ask to "format" the Ipod, the applcation crashed and since then I can download music in the Ipod, I can see it connected to Itune and to My Computer, but I cannot use it to listened to music by itself. The green light doesn't turn off and nothing happen.
What sould we do?

Green light will not turn off

My green light will not go off, it stays green from the moment the power button is pushed. Any ideas? Camera is not working in any utilities apps. I have conducted a force shutdown of everything, and all is up to date.

This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. It will only work while the green LED is on.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d;s/^.//' | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.

Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

IPod shuffle 4th generation will not turn on?!?!

My iPod shuffle 4th generation flashes red for 3 seconds when connected to the USB charger but will not turn on, charge or connect to the computer. This means i can not go through the basic trouble shooting reset steps. I tried turning it off waiting 10 seconds and turning it on. I made sure the buttons were no diabled. I updated my iTunes and updated all software on my computer and restarted it. I also made sure the USB port works by putting something else in- it works. I am running out of options given on the apple website!!! WHAT DO I DO?

Hello StefiPod,
It sounds like your iPod is not charging, and you have already restarted your computer as well as updated your iTunes application and the issue persists. You have also verified that the USB port works for other devices.
I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1412
Your iPod shuffle may need to be reset. See this article for steps to reset iPod shuffle. Resetting does not affect your music or data files.
If a red light is blinking or continuously on, your iPod battery may not be charged. You can find information on charging iPod shuffle here. To find out how to check the battery life, see the article "Checking the charge." To get the most out of your battery, be sure to check out our battery tips and tricks article.
If none of these steps worked, you may need to restore your iPod shuffle software. Please be aware that doing so will delete all your files on iPod shuffle.
If the issue persists, then your iPod may need service. Follow the section toward the bottom labeled:
Get Service
If you've tried all the appropriate troubleshooting steps above and those found on the iPod shuffle Support page, and have determined that your iPod shuffle needs service, you can request service online.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My IPod Touch Froze, It will not turn off or move at all. Help me please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

30GB ipod will not turn off

Everything seems to be working fine, music, videos, connection to itunes, and no sudden trauma has happened to the ipod. It just will not turn off and I am wondering if there is another way besides holding the pause/play button. Should I reset all settings? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset your iPod - then see if it'll turn off.
Cheers!

My shuffle will not turn off

I purchased a shuffle this past August and have had no issue with it. I went on vacation and it did not get used for a week. I then synced up and let it charge, went on my daily run. When I tried to turn it off, the songs kept playing. The unit will play until the battery is dead and will not turn off.
Any suggetions?

If it really is a 1st Gen shuffle the switch sometimes breaks or gets crud in it preventing contact in some of its positions... The slide can be removed and contact cleaner can be sprayed inside.

After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

IPod will not turn off using click wheel

My 30G iPod won't turn off unless I put it in the universal dock and use the remote. It will not turn off using the click wheel. I've tried resetting the iPod, and also changed the "Settings" back to the factory default, and that didn't make any difference. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does the iPod sucessfully reset?
Try resetting the iPod...
Resetting iPod
After it resets, wait about a minute. Now try turning it off.
Also, try activating the sleep timer on the iPod. Does that turn it off? (Go to extras-->clock-->[select a clock]-->sleep)
