Ipod Video (30 gig) will not shut off

Hello,
I have a problem turning off the Ipod. I press and hold the play/pause button. sometimes for 30 sec and nothing happens. I have done the five steps listed on the help page twice (reset etc...). Has anyone had this happen? How to fix?

I had this happen with mine. It won't shut off when the hard drive is going, and occasionally (for whatever reason) it takes a while before the drive stops. You might want to select a smaller song or something, or try pausing it. Honestly, I didn't find much of a solution other than waiting for the drive to stop.

  • IPOD video 30 gig will not charge

    The big battery icon shows on the screen but the progress bar does not move. I have let it sit and sit and still no charge. Has anyone had this happen? It will turn on but then shuts off and says the battery is low.

    my ipod touch 2nd gneration works fine, but it will not shut off.  This use to work:  I would hold down both top and face button for about 10 seconds and it would shut down. Now nothing happens no matter how long I hold those 2 buttons down.  Any suggestions?

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

    My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

    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 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 Samsung brightside will not shut off.  Have to remove battery.  Did master reset to no avail.  Charging port is clean and never exposed phone to water.  HELP!

        Hello Four_Soups,
    That is incredibly strange! I'm so sorry your son is having this issue.  I will be delighted to check into this and see what we can do.
    I checked my resources and I didn't see any other recorded reports of this same issue.  I truly appreciate you trying to reboot the phone as I would have suggested this as well.
    Since you've already completed that step, I would ensure all of his personal information is backed up such as contacts and media (pictures, etc) and reset his phone:
