Ipod wont stop turning on and off

The weirdest thing just happened. I was updating my ipod and then i unplugged it; not doing anything differently than i normally do. Now it keeps turning on and off, but it's not going to the main display page. It gives me the apple logo and then turns off and on again. I tried plugging it back in the computer and that didn't work, and i tried shutting it down and that didn't work either. What should I do?

Try to put it into disk mode

and do the Restore again.

  • IPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200

    My iPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200. Does someone has the same Problem?

    I just bought my ICARPLAY Wireless 200-ZML. I have an iPod with clickwheel (20Gb).
    When I conncect the ipod to the wireless transmitter the checkmark sign appears, as described in the manual. After that, instead of returning to the ipod menu, the checkmark disappears and turns up again. This keeps on repeating itself. No menu, no sound. Pressing 'S' on the transmitter has no effect.
    Is this what you mean? Anyone also seen this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    regards, Rob

  • Ipod nano keeps turning on and off

    My ipod nano keeps turning off and on automatically and when I push a button once its on then it freezes, and when I reset it then it starts turning on and off again....what do I do someone please help me

    Hello Mo0nangel,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
    Updating iPod software
    If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:

    Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

  • Ipod mini keeps turning on  and off all the time. Help

    I got this ipod mini in may, it worked great, but then all of a sudden it started to turn on and off once in a while mostly now it happens once a day..i checked if maybe the timer was set but it wasnt at all, can i fix it by myself or do i have to send it back to the factory for the warranty repair.

    the same thing is happening to my ipod mini, I received a brand new mini in July, and every time I use it it shuts on and off whenever I touch it, even with a fully charged battery, and it also shows the battery sign, do i need to get it serviced?

  • IPod Nano won't stop turning on and off

    OK so I tried to sync my iPod to my computer and it told me it was currpt and needed to be restored. It has done this for the last 4 times I have sync'd it and haven't had a problem with it restoring. This time it told me that it could not restore it and since my iPod shows the screen with the Apple on it and shuts on and off on it's own. It will not allow me to sync it anymore nor plug it into the wall socket and charge it. I have no idea what happened or what to do to fix it. Has this happened to you and if so what fixed it?
    I just got this iPod a couple months ago and hav barely used it so I don't want to send it in for repairs and get a different one that is used and ****** looking.

    All,
    I had the same issue on my new Ipod Nano. It works now! I did the following:
    1) Called Apple. Apple told me the next steps.
    2) Toggle the Hold switch 6 to 8 times. I did 10
    3) Press the center button and the PLAY button! Hold for ten seconds
    4) A check mark appears!
    5) Connect to computer and restore your Ipod!
    6) Thank me later!

  • Ipod 4th gen turns on and off repeatedly as soon as USB connected

    Hi, this is driving me (more specifically my daughter) nuts.
    I have an ipod 4th generation (new and retail boxed) which we bought in May 2010. It's never been used and she decided last week that she wants to start using it.
    Got it out of the box, installed itunes 10.1.1.4 an plugged it in (it has been on charge all day and was fully charged).
    When the USB is plugged in, you get the windows USB tone, the 'Connected, eject before disconnecting' message comes up on the ipod.
    It stays like that for 20 seconds then turns off and back on.
    At no point does itunes recognize it and it will sit there and do this for an hour.
    It does pop up in the device manage when it's connected until the 20 seconds have passed and it restarts.
    The ipod O/s says - 'version 1.0.2 pc'.
    Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp !!

    Thanks for responding so fast! And I was hoping to get a different answer than the motherboard needs to be replaced, since I have read tutorials on fixing it where people were told to do the same but they did something else ( freezer trick) and theirs works fine now....Also, if the mother board might need to be replaced, then why does it work fine once I reseat the BIOS battery? Any other solutions/suggestions?
    I'm not sure, it may be that you let the system cool off and sit without power for awhile.  It's not easy to explain an intermittent issue.  Have you already ran an HP System Recovery which formats the system and sets it back to the original settings?

  • Help, My iPod just turns on and off...my PC doesn't even get to "see" it.

    I just got the 5G 60 Gig iPod. I was charging it for the first time. And of course windows wanted to jump on in. iTunes started up and wanted to transfer music, the unit wanted it's initial setup, but iTunes switched it over to th Do Not Disconnect mode. I got the register your new iPod screens to come up, then music started automatically transfering. Then I got I must reboot my computer screen...I ignored it, figuring it had to finish getting the music transfered. Then about a 1/3 into the music tansfer, I got some kind of could not find error concening the music, then my computer stopped doing anything. I did a restart, no all my iPod does is turn on and off by itself, (from the Apple icon, to back off) and won't stop doing it. I tried resetting the unit, but then it still continues. Connecting and reconnecting the USB cable, restarting the PC etc....Help, what do I do. Frustrated is beyond what I'm feeling right now...I keep thinking what the **** I just spent, for this to be the end result!! Is this unit fried? Or will it get damaged!!! HELP

    I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
    The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
    I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
    This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
    When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
    Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
    Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
    hope this helps,

  • My ipod classic turns on and off continually I cannot reset. This happened after trying to sync with my pc.

    My ipod classic continually turns on and off. I cannot reset and have tried many times. This happened when I tried syncing with my pc. My pc runs vista.
    i Recently had my pc system hard drive wiped and restored.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • IPOD turns on and off

    All the Ipod does is turn on and off, on and off and then a large battery appears in the window. Then turns on and off a few more times. Reseting the Ipod doesnt work. Any suggestions before it meets my wall?

    Quick update:
    I brought my iPod in. They told me there was nothing they could do to fix it. They simply gave me a brand new one and sent the other one back to Apple in Cupertino, California.
    FYI: I think that either the database got corrupted or the hard drive got damaged. I was using it with ephPOD on windows 98. If I were you i'd use it only with windows 2000, windows XP, or MAC OS X.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps turning on and off randomly

    I dropped my iPhone 4S in water two days ago, but I put it in rice almost immediately. It was working fine yesterday, but now it won't stop turning on and off randomly. Like it would stay on for maybe 1-5 minutes, but then the screen will turn weird and the display starts to fade and then power off. Then it will just power on again, but only if it is connected to the USB and is charging.
    Can someone please help? I don't have apple care or insurance, or whatever, so will Apple fix my phone if I go to their store (I don't mind paying, of course)?

    By taking it to a third party repair shop, you have voided the warranty if you had one still, and now apple will not touch your phone. You should take it back to the repair shop that messed up your phone and see if they can refix it. Or you will need to buy a new phone.

    After you place the iPod in recovery mode using
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that?
