Ipod wont turn off in the dock

i have an ipod connected to the apple universal dock. the ipod wont turn off after it has been charged, the screen shows that it is fully charged. how do i turn it off without removing it from the dock? i have both my ipod dock and the tv connected to the same set of speakers...the tv sound ouput is very low if the ipod doesnt turn off since both of them share the same speakers....if i remove the power to the dock, the speaker again outputs full volume from the tv. any ideas?

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.

I have the current version of itunes, but when I go to update my ipod, I am getting an error message that says that it could not back up because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. This is the first time trying to backup.

It was working fine and I had no problems, and then one day I tried opening a window and it froze. When I tried quiting the program my whole window went black. The x to the close the window doesn't work. The only option I have in my tool bar is Firefox and nothing happens when I try to quit firefox. Every time I try to shut down my computer Firefox prevents it. I haven't updated Firefox yet, so it's an older program, but only by a month or two. What's going on and how do I fix it?

This is the first time it's ever happened. I downloaded the new operating system for Firefox but I can't install it until the Firefox currently running on my laptop quits, which it won't.

Just bought a g30 and would like to turn off the date/time.

I cannot find how to turn off the date/time so it does not show in my movies. Lots of other stuff to learn, too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you asking about turning off the data code (date/time) during playback? If yes, look on page 147 of the manual for instructions on how to turn it off during playback. Link to Canon Vixia HF G30 manual.

My ipod wont turn off!! please help

i did nothing to my ipod to make it not turn off. i was listing to it for a while and when i decided i was done using it i wanted to turn it off and it wouldnt work. i can go from one song to the next with no problem and i can pause it and all that good stuff but it just wont turn off. i tried letting it cut off by itself( put ot on pause and wait for a couple of min) but its been almost a half an hour and it still hasnt turn off. please help me!!!

Have had the same problem for a couple of weeks. Have tried the 5 Rs and other tips found on this site. Nothing seems to work. Only thing that does work is if ipod is connected via USB and itunes is running. It can then be turned off and will remain turned off when you disconnect your ipod. But this isnt much help if you have to connect to your computer each time you want to turn your ipod off! Still waiting for a complete answer I'm afraid ......

Ipod wont turn off, HELP!!!

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.
Must have solved your problem

Ipod wont turn off using home button only.

I got my ipod touch yesterday at the apple store, and today, it wont turn off if you hold down the home button. It shuts down if you use the power button on the top left corner, but not with the home button. Th home button works fine for everything else. Can anyone guess what the problem is?
thanks

Hello Kate,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The only way to power off the iPod is using the Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPod as you described. There is no way to turn off the iPod using the Home button.

My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed. My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed... to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time. The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time. The phone can not find my time zone any more. The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time. What is happening? Ideas?

just sorted mine went to
settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
this did sort mine

I was setting up my IPod Nano 7 for the first time and I can't play the songs I bought. What did I do wrong?

I was setting up my IPod Nano7 for the first time and purchased 3 songs. When I went to play it on my IPod the screen said "No Music". What did I do wrong?

We are going through same thing and looks like alot of other people also. Seems to me Apple would have invalid email instead of us loosing the gift card all together. Very irratating. Good Luck.

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.

Ipod wont turn off((any suggestions))

my ipod nano will not turn off no matter how long i hold the button.i will only turn off if i set the sleep time.can somebody help please???
thanx =]

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold menu and center buttons together for 7 seconds. Do this a few times)
Does it now work after resetting? Also, whenever you are having difficulties with your iPod responding to button-pressing, put your iPod down on a flat hard surface (like a desk), then click your button(S). See if it works.
Go to "Settings> Main Menu" and turn the Sleep button "on". Go back to your back the main menu again, and see if the "Sleep" button will work if you click it. If it does, that's your temporary fix.
I hope those things will help you!
