It just wont turn off!

Basically my Ipod is less then a year old. Its run fine up until now. Its had the usual bugs freezing every once in a while but on the whole its worked.
However, since the other day it will not turn off! I pushed down the play button on the click wheel held it and nothing! I checked that the hold button wasnt on then did it again, still nothing so I reset it...still it wont turn off. I clicked the sleep button, no responce. I let the battery run dry then charged it again nothing so I repeated the process then plugged it into the computer and still it will not turn off!
I'm at my witts end. I don't want to restore the thing but I fear I may have to. Can anyone help me?

Rob. I had this happen and it drove me nuts. Try this. Turn the "hold" button on top of your IPOD to "hold". Then turn the hold button back on. HOLD DOWN the "menu" button and the "ON" button, (that's the center of the wheel) at the same time and in a few seconds the Apple logo should come on the screen. That resets the entire IPOD but it won't lose your songs or anything.
I hope that helps.

  • 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 ......

    Hi kingminjing,
    Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.

  • 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.

    i've had a similar problem,had my nano since september and its been fine but it wont turn off when you hold down play/pause. no matter how long you hold it down. also, usually when you unplug the headphones it automatically changes pauses then eventually switches off, it doesnt do that either. i had a problem like this with my mark 2 ipod and just hope it doesnt go the same way as that!

  • Lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off

    lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off. i've done a hard reset and a soft reset. ive also drained the battery but the little round light continues to be turned on .
    i checked and it looks like ive still got warranty from nokia. will they still honour the warranty if ive updates the software?

    I have the same problem, I tested everything, hard reset, soft reset, using recovery tool to back to Cyan version, still the light is ON..  what is tyhe problem, it is ridicolous that Microsoft/ Nokia do not give an answer to this problem as many users have the same problem........

    Hi, alekswithkz. Just to verify, when you say hard reset, do you mean: Settings>About>Reset? If yes, you can try to download and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool before considering sending the phone for repair.

    Note: The link is from Nokia US. If you are in another country, feel free to download the app from your local Nokia website.
    If the issue remains, it's best to have it examined by an authorized Nokia technician. This will also determine if the repair will be covered under warranty. Warranty period starts on the date of purchase. Please bring your receipt for warranty verification.

  • 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.

  • My ipod touch is froze and wont turn off. any ideas?

    My ipod touch is frozen and wont turn off. I need help everything ive tried isnt working!

    Just had this similiar issue with my iPod.  Simple steps found through the Apple Support Website. Follow this link:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320, or follow instructions listed below to reset a frozen iPod nano/classic/color display/click-wheel, etc.:
    1) Toggle the Hold switch on and then off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again)
    2) Press and hold the Menu and center buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds.  This step may need to be repeated. (*sidenote...I also found that the iPod would not respond/reset when it was connected to my computer. It just continued to state that it was connected and needed to be ejected before disconnecting.  I pulled the link cable out of the frozen iPod and followed the above steps and it reset normally.)
    Hope this helps...

  • T61p 6459CTO monitor wont turn off

    Hello,
    Been having a problem with my thinkpad T61p (bios dated 6/6/2008)
    I'm using windows XP pro 32bit, fully up to date and have killed all non essential programs from taskman that i can think of and my computer STILL wont turn off its LCD monitor (via energy star count down or FN-F3 shortcut)
    it shuts off fine for a couple minuets but then randomly wakes up as if i have touched the mouse or a key...I'm thinking it has to be either a service or an application im overlooking but have no idea where to start...i will provide logs upond request.
    Can anyone help?

    everything i could see in bios relating to waking has been disabled from the start.
    Ubuntu 8.10 has no problems keeping the monitor off until i move the mouse or hit a key, its just windows XP ... is there a way to see what handle or program is interupting the sleep mode on my LCD?
