IPod Touch turns off, doesn't respond...

My iPod Touch will randomly turn itself off and I have to restart it, it takes about 10 minutes to restart and work again. This CONVENIENTLY started RIGHT after my warranty ran out. Any answers or anyone have the same problem?

Welcome to the discussions,
restore your ipod "as new ipod" and don't use the backup to copy your data back. Make sure to transfer your purchases before you start.

  • Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

    every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

    Try the following fixes in order:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    See what you missed here:

    - 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.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer

  • IPod Touch turns off when lock button is pressed.

    My father accidentally put my dog's cage on top of my iPod Touch...surprisingly it was fine. Or so I thought. A few minutes later the volume started acting strange, which I think was a problem with the button. Somehow I fixed that after playing around with it. But when I pressed the lock button, the iPod turned off, and wouldn't turn back on, as if it had no battery life whatsoever. When I got home, I plugged it in, and thankfully it responded. I thought it was fine, until I tried to press the lock button again. It completely dies every time the button is pressed. Which I suppose is alright, as long as I never press that button again but that's rather annoying. Any ideas on what to do with that?

    Sounds like you have a internal connection problem in the iPod. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of a local Apple store.

  • Ipod Touch - turn off slider appears on startup and ipod won't play music

    Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem.
    The two problems I have are:
    1) the red Turn Off slider appears immediately on turning the iPod on
    2) when the play button is hit, it automatically pauses immediately.
    The problems in detail:
    I have a 2nd generation iPod touch that was working fine until I updated to 3.1.2 firmware. It worked fine for a few hours and then the touch screen began behaving weirdly. First, it wouldn't allow me to slide the unlock slider across the screen, and then when it finally would let me, it basically accessed random apps and moved randomly between the app home screens. All of this was jerky and erratic and it looked as if my iPod had gone schizo!
    I took the iPod to a Genius at the Apple Store, but when I arrived the problem had fixed itself (at least, the random accessing of apps etc), but I noticed that on startup, the red turn off slider would appear immediately. After canceling the slider, I went to play some music. Immediately after hitting play, the ipod paused. Repeated attempts yielded the same results. It won't let me press play or listen to any music, regardless of whether it was iTunes purchased, an audiobook, podcast or whatever. You hit the play button, it turns into a pause button for a split second and then reverts back.
    I have tried restoring the iPod a number of times on my computer and other macs (I'm running 10.5.8 OS X and iTunes 9). I have also done a couple of option+restores, having downloaded previous firmware versions (3.0 first, then 2.2.1). Both attempts left me with an error message (20). I am going spare about this and would really appreciate any advice!
    There is one thing that worries me. I have been told by the Genius I spoke with that the moisture indicator inside the headphone jack shows that it has been exposed to water. Would this result in the above described problems? Everything else seems to work fine. I have even managed to get YouTube back after fiddling with the date settings (i.e. setting the date to 2030 and then back). I want to either restore my iPod to a previous firmware version that worked or make the update that I paid for work the way it should!
    I appreciate any suggestions!

    this happened to me. I figgered that after you play apps like games which r side ways causes this for example nba live lite it caused the problem to me same when the slider stays in one spot i see that apps cause this problem. i just figgered it out cause it happens allways after certian game apps or other app. To fix this test all the apps and see and delete the ones which cause this but not all apps which r side ways cause it. I hope this helps

  • My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

    MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

    Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
    If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My iPod Touch Turns Off When I Try To Restore It

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch to 8.0/8.0.2 I've been experiencing issues. Every other day or so my iPod would freeze up and the pixels would "burn" out and my device would turn off. Last night when it did it all of my music disappeared from my device and syncing it fixed it. When I got up this morning I listened to my music and it burnt out again, but this time now whenever i try to turn on my iPod it gets to the apple logo and it keeps doing it. It also kept turning on by itself when it happened. Now whenever it turns on it goes straight to recovery mode with the iTunes logo and whenever i try to restore it i get error 4013 every time and it burns out when it gets to the apple logo with the spinner underneath. I've done everything from letting the battery drain to putting it in dfu mode and manually selecting the ispw file. So, what's wrong?

    iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    It may be a hardware problem.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod touch turns off

    I just bought the iPod at Xmas and now every so often my iPod turns off. I can't turn it on unless I plug it in to charge but the battery is not dead. Then it resets and the date and time is changedd. Now I can't even use my iPod unless it's plugged in. I tried resetting but doesn't help. Any solutions???

    Try restore - page 111 of the manual.

    If that does not work, then take advantage of the one year warranty. Make an appointment at the genius bar or call Apple Support.

  • Why does my iPod touch turn off right after I slide to unlock?

    I have a third generation iPod touch that used to work just fine. However, it won't turn on unless charging and as soon as I slide to unlock it, the slide to power off option turns on. Despite cancelling it, it automatically turns off. It's very frustrating and I've tried restoring it, but to no avail. The problem continues.
    Any suggestions as to how to get it up and functioning properly again?

  • Why does my ipod touch turn off and back on repeatedly

    I've recently just sync'd my iPod Touch and shortly thereafter, the unit turns on, the "Apple" symbol appears, but then about 8-10 seconds later the screen flashes and it turns off. About 8-10 seconds later, it turns on. This behavior cycles repeatedly without any effect from manipulation of the "Home" or "on/off" buttons. It also makes no difference if plugged in using the A/C connector.
