Ipod shuffles turning off randomly (2 separate ones!)

This is really bizarre. I have had an Ipod shuffle for about a year and a half. All of a suddent it starts shutting down at random
times, even though charged. Sometimes takes 5 minutes or longer to turn on again. so figuring it was bad I bought another new one
yesterday. Same problem occured!!! 2 different shuffles, two different sets of headphones. Both restored through Itunes.
The only commonality seems to be the software and the itunes library. Could a corrupt song file create this issue. I can find no other
commonality between 2 shuffles born a year and a half apart.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • 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 turns off randomly

    I only got my iPod touch a few weeks ago, and very frequently, when listening to music, it just goes to sleep and stops playing music. When I wake it back up again, it is either on the home screen, or on a random playlist or the song list where I had been looking at before. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Darrell

    Just a thought do any apple tec bods read this forum or pref Apple management that can answer the question when are Apple going to fix the prob of the Ipod touch turning off at random. It's getting more and more frequent I will soon be going back to using a Sony mp3 as it do what it says on the box plays music untill you tell it not to and not just decide to stop at random. Well not only stop but switch it's self off reset the date to what ever along with the time.
    This needs to be sorted out now and not in a few months never mind releasing a new one 32Gb how about you get the ones out there right first.

  • 5th Gen 60GB ipod turns off randomly

    My iPod has a tendency to just turn off randomly. it'll leave a "ghost" screen shot of what was on it and then it slowly fades away to nothing. Then, the black screen and apple come up and take 20-30 seconds to reboot and start over at the main menu.
    Any idea as to how to fix this?
    thanks

    My 5th Gen 80GB ipod also turns off/restarts randomly after about 2-3 minutes of use. Very annoying and have had much trouble in trying to solve this problem.

  • Backlight turning off randomly

    I have a late 2009 27" 2.66 iMac (latest OS and updates). Just the other day the backlight started turning off randomly (can still see screen under a light). I have corners enabled and can put the display to sleep, wake it again and the backlight turns back on, but only for a short time. And I have a second monitor plugged in with no problems on that.
    I've read that it may need new hardware which I don't really want to be forking out on. I've tried the other things of reseting the PRAM and SMC with no luck.
    I've tried to boot AHT to run a diagnostic but for some reason whatever I do I can't get it to run.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    It's probably a connection if it does it a lot when moving it. If it's out of warranty, you could use one of these guides to open it up and check for lose wires or connections.

  • TS4403 How do I turn off photo stream on one computer?

    How do I turn off photo stream on one computer without deleting the photos out of the rest of the devices?

    Go to control panel, search for 'iCloud", double-click iCloud to open the iCloud control panel for Windows, then uncheck photo stream.  If you want to keep any photo stream photos on your PC, be sure to copy them to a separate folder (outside of the photo stream folder) before unchecking photo stream.

  • Apple tv turns off randomly

    Hi there
    Since about a week my Apple TV turns off randomly. Just turns off and on, but of course you have to wait until turn on again and then pick up the show/movie were you left it. Very very annoying
    Any one of you have experienced that problem?
    I wonder if I have to re-set everything or change the device
    Thanks in advance for your input guys
    R

    Did you have any change before?
    Well, you may try reset and restore (to factory setting  + download latest firmware) your ATV. Of course, you need to reconfigure the box after it restarts.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...

    My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens. 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Tiffy6996!
    I have an article here for you that describes this issue and can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    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 coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in

    Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    If I leave the phone (thus not doing anything to it) for an extended period of time say 2 hrs. It will have turned off and you can't turn it back on unless you plug it in, but it's got heaps of "Battery" left.
    Ever so often it will turn off randomly as well, and can't turn it on again.

    If your iPhone is powering off, this is not normal.
    Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If no change after doing so, your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • Why does my iPod classic turn off?

    I've had my iPod classic for about five years now and about two months ago it started to act weird. Whenever I would press next too much I notice the battery depleting to almost the red zone, but I fully charged it that day.Before all of this happened I noticed that my iPod would always ask to be restored. Now, it seems to have gotten a lost worse. Before I could listen to my iPod classic for at least a whole day without needing a charge, but now I can't even do that anymore. I'd be lucky if I could listen to a whole album. I would love to try and buy a new iPod classic, but I'm a college student and broke so I really can't afford one. So any help would be great. Thank you!

    You most likely have activated the sleep timer.
    Setting the Sleep Timer
    You can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow for a
    specific period of time.
    To set the sleep timer:
    1 Choose Extras > Clock and then choose a clock.
    2 Choose Sleep Timer and choose how long you want iPod to play.
    When you set the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod
    turns off appear in the Now Playing screen on iPod.

  • MBP turning off randomly while on battery

    So my MBP keeps turning off randomly while I'm using battery, first few times it happened I thought it had just got to hot and turned off because of that. But after it happend a few times i noticed that its not even hot to the touch. Its happening what ever i am doing even when I have very low cpu usage like listening to i tunes, or just watching a movie.
    Any ideas what it could be?
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    I have the same problem. It is most likely the battery has become faulty or possibly damaged. Best to replace the battery or if you can call one of the genius' at the mac store.
