Ipod Turning Off...

My Ipod Nano (new) stops playing when either the screen fades to black or when the lock button is pressed. I have updated it, restored it and taken it to the Apple store where I was told it would cost me £50 to repair. Any suggestions, I'm reluctant to spend that amount of money as it's probably only about 1 year old!
Please HELP!

Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

  • Ipod turns off itself ( full battery)

    Hi
    My ipod turns off itself every 20-30 minitues..because "no battery power" (its fully charged, really). It works again if I turn it on. What's wrong with my ipod?
    Thanks

    It may be that the battery needs replacing. You shouldn't rely on the battery meter, it's well known for being inaccurate.
    Try this test, and if it's a poor performance, get the battery replaced (especially if it's still under warranty).

  • Ipod turns off while battery indicator is full.

    Hi a couple of days ago my ipod turned off about 2 mins after i turned it on and said that i had a low battery, however the battery indicator was fully charged. Then after 10-15 mins i tried it again and it worked fine, can anybody tell me why this happened, and if anybody else is having the same problem?

    The iPod battery indicator is only a very loose approximation of how much charge there actually is left and is not that reliable.
    These may help.

  • Why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

  • 4th gen iPod turned off and won't turn back on.

    So, earlier today I had my iPod touch (4th gen) plugged into my electronic drum kit through a double sided auxillary cable. Nothing out of the usual. I turned it to a certain song I felt like jamming to at the time and it froze. It was a weird type of freeze. The screen itself was frozen, as was the sound, but it had displayed weird grey/purple static waves, like an old T.V. with the antennas slightly off. I tried turning the iPod off normally, when that didnt work I held the power and home button to reset it thinking it was some glitch that would go away. Only, it didn't reset and just stayed off. I've tried plugging it into my PC, no response. I've even tried plugging it into my xbox (which is one way I usually charge it) and it didn't respond either. As of now, it's a brick. I have no idea why. Nothing was out of the ordinary other then a random screen freeze/glitch.
    TL;DR I have an iPod that's turned off, it will not reset, go into DFU mode, and does not charge/is not recognized when plugged into anything. Anyone got any idea what I should do?

    It would appear that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Battery seems to be half full, and iPod turn off.

    Something strange. My iPod mini is less as 2 years old. Now it works together with a inMotion sound system, and sometimes I leave it with me.
    Well, first strange thing is that it needs more as 8 hours to full battery charge.
    Second, when I use it, about 2 hours of listening is what I get. When I press one button of the wheel, a message appears telling no more power supplied and it will be turned off.
    Third: strange is that the battery level seems to be in the middle. No way, five seconds after, turned off.
    Any idea?
    thanks for all.

    Ahh thank you so much for that site! After reading that Apple can replace the battery for you, they won't send you back the one that YOU own, instead, they send you another one that might be new, old, or whatever. And i read another review where this guy said the battery on his second ipod (the one Apple sent as a replacement) was already dying and the warranty for it wasn't very long.
    I didn't want that to happen because i love my current ipod. Then when i saw that site, i was relieve cause i didn't have to throw out my ipod.
    Thanks again!!

  • Ipod turns off when in unlock position

    Hi!, I have an iPod nano and it only turns on when in the locked position and plugged in to computer or power outlet then shuts-off when switched to unlocked position...what gives! I have restored with itunes no luck. I bought new in 2009, maybe its toast.

    If you have the Hold switch ON and it's connected to power, the iPod is ON...  What happens when you disconnect it like that?  Does it stay on for any length of time?  Does it immediately turn OFF?
    If it immediately (or within a few seconds) turns OFF, I'm not sure what's going on with the Hold switch, but your battery is probably worn out and not holding a charge. 
    If it stays ON, you are saying it will turn OFF if you move the Hold switch to the OFF position?
