Itouch will not turn off without running out of battery

My iTouch has been refusing to turn off easily for months now.  I push the sleep button and slide to turn off, and then a loading circle appears.  The only way to get rid of it is to allow the battery to fully run out.  I can also restore my Ipod to factory settings, but it then takes hours to restore all of my information.  This ipod has never been jailbroken, and otherwise seems to run smoothly, although it often experiences sync errors, which is why I want to turn it off in the first place. 

you may have software glitches, but as for your touch, you can force it off, by holding the power and home button until it turns off. cuts the power. itll still turn on but its off now isnt it?

    My itouch is stuck with the apple symbol as if it was downloading something.  I have tried to reset it by turning it off but it will not turn off.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Try placing your iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring it via iTunes:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • My iTouch will not turn off

    I am unable to turn off my iTouch. What should I do?

    Also 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 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.

  • Ipad will not turn on without charging cable

  • HT4528 The flash on my phone will not turn off. How do i manually turn it off?

    The flash on my phone will not turn off and is draining the battery. I've already tried turning the flash off in camera mode and resetting the phone to factory settings. Neither worked.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

    I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

    Do a reset.  You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If this does not help resore from a backup.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
    If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem.  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store.  You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

  • HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

    LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
    Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
    However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
    Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
    Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/

  • HELP ..N8..Phone freezes and will not turn off

    Help me !!!!!!!!
    Phone freezes and will not turn off ........ It still calling HELPPPPPPPP......
    What can or should I do.....
    Reply asap..... It's calling about 4 hours now........... I can hear any nokia tunes anymore !!!!
    HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hmmm, I am not sure if there is another way. Since the battery is not removable for users and the 8 second -3 buzzes press don't work, I don't think there are another way to get it off.
    Try connect the charger to it and do the 8 second press again, if not I think you will have to either let the battery run out untill it turns off it self or take it to a Nokia care point.

    Hello houseman06
    Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

  • Ipod shuffle green statuslight will not turn off

    Dear
    I tried several times to reset my ipot shuffle,
    and to install new from the original ipod CD.
    In itunes there is no problem, Ican see the ipot in the list, and there is no failure.
    But when I disconnect it, and turn it on with the switch,
    the green status led on the front is lightning, and it will
    not turn off.
    When I push buttons, there is no response.
    Before this failure, the green status light went out
    after 3 seconds when switch on.
    what can I do?
    I dont feel like wasting my time trying to get it
    running again. What I need is a clear discribtion
    what to do, because I did find nothing with this
    sympthom.
    Cheers A.O.

    I have the same problem. It happend when I deleted and reinstalled the Itunes software. The software installation ask to "format" the Ipod, the applcation crashed and since then I can download music in the Ipod, I can see it connected to Itune and to My Computer, but I cannot use it to listened to music by itself. The green light doesn't turn off and nothing happen.
    What sould we do?

  • Web sharing starts but will not turn off

    I have enabled web sharing and been running successfully for a long time, recently upgraded to Lion.
    The problem I have now is that I can turn Apache on through the Web Sharing prefs but it will not turn off, technically that not true as the instance is killed off but something is restarting the httpd processes (new pid's). As far as the Pref pane is concerned Apache is off (un checked box), though in reality, a new instance is running.
    The only way to turn it off is by su apachectl stop.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Adam.

    Have you tried to hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so, until you see a silver apple. See if you can get it to reboot.

  • After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

    I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
    Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

  • Dock animation will not turn off

    I am looking for an answer to a dock problem.
    Out of curiosity to see what it looked like, I turned on the dock animation feature in system preferences/dock by checking the box.
    Curiosity satisfied I unchecked the box to turn it off but it will not turn off. I have re-started, re-booted and cursed it but nothing I do will turn it off.
    I check the system preferences/dock check box each time and find that the box is unchecked (so in theory the animation should not work - but it does).
    Can anyone suggest an answer.
    Regards
    Tony

    You may need to create a new user account and see if the same problem happens there.
    You can also delete the Dock preference file from your home directory:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    Last, you can "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility.
