IPod Touch won't shut down

every time I try to shut it off it powers down and a few seconds later it starts back up.
i've restored it twice and forcing it to shut down by holding the home and sleep button but it just keeps turning back on.

Restored the touch and the top "on/off" button still doesn't work. Weird. Still not sure if it is related to the update 3.1.3 or if my hardware coincidentally went at the same time. If anyone else out there with a 1st gen touch has a similar problem with "shutting down" their ipod touch please let me know.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

    I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
    It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation shuts down randomly??

    My iPod touch 5th generation will randomly shut down out of the blue, and when it does it has these strange vertical multicolored stripes that show up, the screen turns dark, and then it turns off. It then turns itself back on. It will do this when I'm in the middle of scrolling through a web page, or typing a message, or listening to music, or anything really. It will do this sometimes three or four times during an hour. It will also not keep time. Whether I set it manually or automatically, it will change to the current time but not keep time regularly. There are no cracks or dings in the screen or back, and I always have it in a case. It started doing this a couple weeks ago, and I have no idea why. I've tried resetting it to the factory settings and then redownloading all my apps and music and pictures, but it's still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • IPod touch won't power down

    Am simply trying to shut Down to restart.  It will not do so.  Any suggestions?

    Presumably the iPod is not responding when you press and hold the On/Off - Sleep/Wake switch for 5-10 seconds?
    If this does not work then try resetting the iPod: To reset iPod touch, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod touch.. cannot shut down.

    my iPod will not shut down, Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds but no action, no way to turn off in the normal manner with the slider or any other way.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod
    - Next let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, try the reset (both buttons) and connecting to computer and restoring.

  • Ipod touch was working, shut down and will not power up

    Ipod was working. Went dead and will not power up. The unit was charged. I connect it to a charger and I get nothing. Tried the power and home button combo but the unit is not responding. It is less than 6 months old

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    - place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If not successfull, try placing the iPod in DFU mode:

  • Ipod touch 4gen immediately shut down

    it probably needs to be restored via itunes

  • My working iPod touch (5th gen) shuts down automatically and wouldn't start, was this iOS 8.1 related?

    My iPod screen went dark when I try to wake it, then the power button can't turn it back on either. I have the 16GB version, still got 7GB of usable memory but this was the first problem after installing the iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the battery, the battery icon that used to be visible when the system is off but it was not there when I tried to charge the battery. At this point, my 16GB iPod Touch and all the files inside are waiting for rescue.

  • Ipod 7th gen stays on, won't shut down

    My Ipod Nano won't shut down, it will go to sleep but never totally shuts down.

    What happens if you push the sleep button and keep holding it?

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.
