IPod Touch shuts off after being locked 4 a while

Hello, My iPod touch 4th generation will shut off after being locked. Sometimes when I lock it for 3 minutes it'll shut off I will click the sleep/wake button or home button and it'll do nothing, So I have to reset it by holding sleep/wake button for 30 seconds or something. One time I set a alarm for 3 minutes and it went off and it showed on the iPod's screen and froze! What I did was: settings, general, auto-lock and put to never because if I'll let it lock for more than 3 or 5 minutes it'll shut off. Any one know a reason this might be happening?
Thanks for reading

    my ipod touch shut off and now it wont turn back on, how do i fix that?

    Hey lattifahfromny,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may assist you:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • Ipod Touch Shuts off During Sync

    This has been an ongoing problem with my itouch. Any time I try to charge/sync my ipod it shuts off after a minute or so. With the little charge that i can get, my itouch will stay on as long as it isnt plugged in. I have restored the ipod multiple times and went through some of the troubleshooting provided by apple. Nothing is working. Any Suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try another USB cord? Can you charge your device, using the adapter?

  • IPhone 5c powers off after being locked

    I had an iphone 5c gave to me as a present...only problem was, was the screen was broke and they figured since i liked fixing things it would be a cool project for me....The screen was doing a phantom touch(which is where the phone will do its own thing by itself.). I realized the phone died fairly quickly and also realized it was turning on and off by itself...and I figured since it was doing the whole phantom touching thing that it might just be that making it do it, but I got the screen fixed, and now i realize why the phone was turning on and off......
    When the screen is locked and nothing going on in the background(EX: Music Playing) the phone, at first, would shut off after about 25 seconds....I bought a new battery, thinking that was my problem, but to no avail. But it has made a difference....Now my phone will stay one for around a minute before shutting itself off and the only way to get it to turn back on is to hold down the power and home button until the apple logo appears(which takes longer than normal.) Or sometimes it will turn back on by itself.
    I've tried Restarting, Rebooting, Restoring backup, and Restoring New....and obviously a NEW battery. but none of which has worked. I also updated the phone from ios 7.1.1 to ios 8.3 thinking it might help but no.
    So guys, PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank you!

  • My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

  • My ipod touch shuts off during music for no reason

    My ipod touch started shutting off in the middle of songs this morning - its fully charged and had been working fine up to this point. I shut it down and restarted it but that did not solve the problem - any suggestions?

  • Ipod touch not working after being attached to new charger

    I have a 3G ipod touch, and recently bought a mains charger. Although the charger isn't an Apple, it is compatible with the itouch (i checked with around 4 different retailers). As soon as I plugged it in, the touch heated up incredibly, so I unplugged it straight away, and now the touch won't work at all - doesn't reboot, isn't recognised on the PC, won't charge via the computer etc. The retailer admits that the charger is faulty - they've tried in on another ipod and nothing happened at all - but I'm not sure if they will accept liability for my ipod. They are saying I should contact Apple.

    Have you tried the sandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be 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
    - Retore from backup

  • HT1212 can somebody tell me how to turn ipod touch on again after being disabled

    please help me unlock my sons ipod touch which has been disabled

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • My Ipod Nano shuts off after awhile during use? Is this a defect or is this something correctable with the sleep/wake button? I want it to play continuously while I use it, not continually shut down?

    My Ipod nano shuts down continuously during use? Is this a problem/defect or can this be corrected with the sleep/wake button? While working out the unit goes black and the music stops?

    You don't have the headset jack plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

    Did you look at this previous discussion that I provided in my first reply?
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    It say how to use a iTunes version 10.6.3 with OSX 10.5.8 and sync with iOS 5.
    OSX 10.6.8 is a paid upgrade for $29 but requires an Intel Mac. That last OSX for a Power PC G4 or G5 is 10.5.8.

  • Why does my ipod nano shut off after taken out of charger

    Whenever I take out my iPod Nano Generation 6, out of the charger cord, it works until I press the power button, and stays in sleep mode. Even after holding the power button, it won't turn back on.

    This used to happen once in a while with my ipod classic.  You need to "reset" the ipod.  For the 6th Gen. Nano, try holding down the sleep/wake button and the volume down button simultaneously, for about 8-10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears.  You can also see the info here: support.apple.com/kb/HT1320

  • My ipod randomly shut off and wont turn back on

    My ipod touch shut off last night while i was charging it and it wont turn back on

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

    I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

    Sorry, but it's not.  The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.
