Ipod turns off before i get to click on a song to play!

My ipod is acting possessed. Its updated to he latest software and everything. Its fully charged. When I open it to listen to some songs or play a video (i have the 30gb 5th generation ipod, i got it in december of 2005)it opens fine and then i click music, songs, and then it quickly restarts by itself. I tired restoring the ipod and even did the 5 r's....i really dont know wat else to do...please help. It syncs fine and everything.

Tamy is right, you need to have the battery replaced. Go to the Apple store and ask if they can replace the battery there. If not, you can have your iPod shipped to Apple and they will replace your iPod battery for $65.95.

  • HT4623 After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

    After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

  • Help restoring Iphone because it was locked (Find my Iphone needs to be turned off before restore) but I took it off my icloud account. Now what?

    So my little brother locked my Iphone 5 out, so it said to connect it to my Itunes.
    So now I connect it to Itunes, however now when I click on restore (That's my only option) it says that "Find my Iphone must be turned off before restore". So I went to icloud.com and removed it from my account, then restarted phone and now when I click restore, I still get the same error, "Find my Iphone must be turned off before restore".
    and when I tried to update phone, it says the phone could not be updated (error 56).
    So I've tried everything possible, can someone please help me out?

    You need to restore from Recovery mode. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • 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.
