Ipod video 60 gig wont turn off

60 gig ipod video won't turn off when i hold down play button...any suggestions, i already did all the resets and reloaded my music...

just to let you know, I had this same issue, combined with the fact that my ipod wouldn't automatically shut itself off either. I unplugged my ipod from the computer this morning and when I came back to it several hours later, it was still on. however, as things seem to go with me, when I try to duplicate the issue (tried to shut it off) it worked perfectly. go figure.
hope you get your issue figured out though. good luck!

    My Ipod 3rd generation wont turn off and is showing a blank white screen someone please help! xx

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod video won't turn off

    I have only had my 30G Video iPod since November and i have taken really godo care of it. Suddenly i take it out charge in my computer, eject and it won't turn off. If i hold pause or wait, it simply wont turn off, but everything elese works. Any advice? Is there a setting i messed up to make it do that or is it simply broken?

    Make sure you don't have the hold switch on first.
    Then hold down the Menu and Centre buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. This will reset your iPod, it will not damage the contents of your iPod.

  • Updated ipod, now it wont turn off.

    last week i updated my ipod with the latest software and now when i hold the play/pause button it wont shut off, i have tried to reset it but it wont work, what can i do?

    Here are some things to try if your iPod doesn't turn off.
    First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
    Then, there are a few things to try that are outlined here:
    -- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step several times.
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    Again, this includes connecting the iPod to a power source while you're toggling the Hold switch back and forth (this worked for someone who's iPod wasn't responding to anything)
    -- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod (which is why it is more as a "last resort"), but often clears up any issues you might be facing.
    For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article: Restoring your iPod to factory settings

  • Ipod 2009 160gb wont turn off

    I have the late model 160gb ipod classic and one day I went to play the music and the settings went back to the original (no shuffle or repeat). Since that time the ipod will not turn off.  If I press the menu and select buttons that does not work.  Also the forward button is not working and the enable disk (pressing select and play).  Everything else is fine, i reset the settings, the songs play but it just does not turn off or advance when button is pressed.  All other buttons work.  Is this a hard drive issue?  I have searched on the internet and there is nothing on this topic.

    I let the battery drain so it would reboot...that did not work either.

  • Ipod Video 30g wont turn on, any help why please?

    So I have found this old ipod video I must have got when it first came out. It has been a while since it has been used, and it may be heavily damaged, I am not sure. But when I press any button it remains on the Apple loading screen, as in the dark background with a dimly lit apple logo. This ipod is way past any warranty, and I am trying to do a self repair to save some money. I already tried charging it no luck. I connected it to the computer and my computer never recognized it, I reset it (menu and select) no luck, put it in disc mode (pause/play and select) no luck. But the screen stays on at the Apple logo. Can anybody tell me how I can fix this problem or what is the cause of it. Thank you very much.
    PS I am from Chicago so if anyone knows of any places that can help me for cheap let me know.

    actually i tryed doing the thing where u hold put the usb cord into the ipod while holding the home button and i tryed to restore it and it came up with in error that said that its not eligible for the requested build. i dont have the newest version of itunes on my mac and i heard u need the newest version to get the newest software for the ipod touch and it said restore and UPDATE in the beginning so maybe thats the problem? idk plzzz someone help me!!
    my last post has already been resolved so dont bother with that.

  • 30GB ipod video wont turn off

    all of the sudden after a month of having my ipod video, it wont turn off
    any idea what to do? will resetting it even help??
    it plays music just fine and nothing wrong with the connection to my computer

    Like the guy said, different levels. You only have to hold down Pause, and then the system goes into Sleep mode. The problem is that you probably moved your finger when the button was pressed. Don't. Keep your finger still on the button. This happened to me oh so many times
    Otherwise, add a Sleep item to your Main Menu. Hold down Menu for a few seconds to go back to the Main Menu. Go to Settings > Main Menu. Scroll down to "Sleep", and turn it on. Now go back to the Main Menu, and choose the Sleep option.

    I had a similar problem with my dad's iPod Nano, here's a way to fix it for ALL iPods:
    1. Enter Settings
    2. Select Main Menu
    3. Switch the last option: Sleep to On
    4. Select Sleep from the iPod main menu to turn it off, then (of course) put the Hold switch on Lock.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

    what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod wont turn off

    Was very happy with the Ipod Touch until a recent problem occurred. Appreciate any assistance. The Ipod Touch will not turn off - If I leave it for the designated 1 min till sleep occurs it continuously attempts to turn itself back on displaying the start up apple logo. If turned off completely the Ipod touch still attempts to turn itself back on. The issue then is you cannot re-start the Ipod without connecting to a computer. The system all functions normally then until again sleep (or attempted sleep) comes about. Have tried restoring settings - no luck. Remove all content and restore settings - no luck. tried restoring via I tunes hard core style - still no luck. Have latest software installed as well. Appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
    Thanks

    Took the Ipod Touch to the Apple Genius (????) If a genius is required what does that say about their software and products. Anyway - end result was the Ipod Touch does'nt turn off b/c of faulty off button. Genius!
    So replacement model is forth coming.
    Thanks for the tips and advice. Hopefully next version wont have issues.
