Ipod touch randomly tries to shut down

So lately whenever I'm on my Ipod it randomly tries to shut itself down. The red button pops up asking to swipe to shut down, and when I hit cancel, it pops up like 5 seconds later. It was recently revived from the white screen of death, so is that why it's acting so wierd? Do i have to take it in to be repaired? This is really starting to bug me.

You can try the dstandard fixes:
- Reset. Noting is lost
Reset iPod touch:  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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have a probme then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch stuck trying to shut down

    I tried to power off my iPod Touch (hold the top button down, wait for the "slide to power off" to appear and do the slide) and now all I see is the spinning icon and the iPod is hung.  It is not responding to any buttons on the device.  It seems that it is stuck somewhere in its shutdown routine.  Any idea how to actually shut it off.  I've held the home and power buttons down for like 2 minutes.  nothing.  Its been in this state of trying to shut off for over an hour.
    Tried connecting it to a computer.  The computer ignores it. 
    Any ideas other than wait till the battery dies?

    Not that I know of.  You can continue to try and reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together, or connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode, but that's it.  Here is more information on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is shutting down and not playing music?

    so here is the story:
    lately my iPod touch 4th gen will become frozen, or slow whenever i am using it. However within the last 2 weeks it has shut itself down completely (even though there was always more than half charge) 3 times and won't allow me to turn it on for about 2-3 days. It also will not play music anymore, and instead is either silent or sounds of static. I am just wondering if there is anyway I can fix it or if I need to buy a new iPod.

    Try:

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Ipod Touch not syncing and/shutting down Windows 7 x64

    I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion to Windows 7 Home Premium, from Vista Home Premium and have been experiencing a major problem with the connection of my iPod touch to my computer. The iPod is a 16GB (ver. 3.2.1(7D11)). The issue is that my iPod won't sync anymore to my computer. When I connect the device, iTunes opens and starts to sync. About 20 seconds later the iPod shuts off and the computer restarts...blue screen...and reboots like nothing happened. Error reporting shows a "Video Hardware Error" with a bunch of information about the problem. I have searched and searched for different solutions (reinstalling iTunes, going in from a different user account on the computer, deleted certain files or resetting settings) with no results that remotely fix the issue. It's to the point now that the iPod won't sync at all and I have no way to get new music, etc onto the device. Any thoughts?

    Found a fix...this is a hotfix that is through MS and spans multiple posts. It's a USB hotfix for people needing to fix many issues (external HD, thumb drives, ipods, etc...). Things to remember, this hotfix is for Win 7 with certain parameters, please read the posts for seeing if your machine is applicable to the hotfix. Also, USE INTERNET EXPLORER for all downloads and fixes through MS. For some reason Firefox send incorrect data to MS. Below is the link the the hotfix discussion. Mark, a MS Pro Tech is on that really helped get this going. I hope this works, two sync's in and we are all square. Thanks for your patience.

  • IPod Touch Apps Freeze, Then Shut Down

    All of a sudden, when I try to open some of my applications (like Safari and Notes), they open, then it is blank for a second like it is trying to retrieve information, but then it exits out of the application and goes back to the home screen. I have tried restarting the iPod with no luck. My mail application and some others work with no problem. What is wrong with it? Thanks for any help.

    to be honest Doc, I don't think the model/generation matters here.
    app crashing is a common problem. two suggested solutions:
    1. download a new app (any app) - sounds daft but people have said it works
    2. reset the ipod (hold down the home and sleep buttons until the silver apple comes up on screen

    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,

    - 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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
