Keeps trying to power off

For no obvious reason, in the past few days my iPod touch (3rd gen) keeps showing the 'Slide to power off' button whenever I lock the screen, as well as locking the screen automatically while I'm trying to use the iPod. I've restored it 3 times without any resolution. Besides taking it back to an Apple store, any ideas how to fix the problem?

What do you mean by "trying to power off"?
If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I press the on switch slider, the notebook shows lights then CPU fan begins to spin. It immediately slows down then stops. Power light stays on, but nothing else happens. No startup screen, nothing. To do it again, power cable must be disconnected then reconnected. Does anybody has any idea? Please help.
Once you get it to turn on, I would check to see if there is a BIOS update available for your machine.

I have tried and tried to slide the unlock on the screen. No response the arrow won't move. Tried to power off no response. The arrow will not move so I can't power off. Any solutions please help. I am lost without my phone. The phone rings. I can't answer it. It shows missed call but can't use the phone. Any suggestions.

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Help! I tried to power off my ipod touch 3gen-now I have a blank screen with a loading symbol.

I tried to power off my ipod touch. The screen showed the "slide to power off" button and "cancel". I slid the power off. Since then(30 minutes) I've had a blank screen with the loading symbol on it(moving loading symbol). What do I do?

Try a hard reset,

My Ipod touch keeps trying to turn off.

Cannot get my Ipod touch to stop trying to turn off. The slide to turn off screen keeps popping up. Have turned off, hard reboot, restored and not helping. Makes clicking sounds as if it taking a picture, but do not have picture capabilities. Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with my iPhone 4 n probably due to bit of moisture.
I kept on pressing the power button again n again n then switched it off completely for like 20 min.
When I restarted, it was all fine.... I think pressing the power button repeatedly helped it to reposition the power button..
Odd but effective

Ipod Keeps Asking To Power Off

Basically my iPod keeps asking me to "slide to power off", and it usually happens only when i use the speaker volume. So in order for it not to say anything i have to have the volume off.(which isn't the solution i wanna hear)
Any way I can fix this?
I've already tried restoring my iPod and i have searched Google for a solution, so far nothing. *Returning or Sending it in to Apple is not an Option* But if that's the only answer/solution then thanks.

I have this SAME problem. When I'm using my 32 gb iPod Touch, currently, it will turn off automatically, and CONSTANTLY asks me to power off. When i hit CANCEL, it will shut off. It's starting to really **** me off. I have done a restore, and yet, continues.
If anybody could help, it would be much appreciated.

Internal iMac hard drive keeps trying to power down without my consent

How do you stop an internal hard drive from shutting down when you didn't ask it to?
Background:
I use Missing Sync for Palm to sync my Palm handheld with my iMac. My Palm has a SD card slot it in and the sync software came with a program that allows me to mount the
SD card as an external drive on my iMac. From there, I can add podcasts, music or whatever I want directly to the card. I have used this software since March with no problems.
Also, when you put my computer to sleep or shut it down, there is a click and then the internal hard drive shuts down.
Last night, I activated the program to mount the SD card to my iMac and instead of it mounting, the iMac's internal hard drive started trying to shut down.
I have used this program many, many times to mount the SD card to my iMac with absolutely no problem. It was weird this time because I kept hearing that clicking noise. The computer became extremely sluggish. To me, it appeared that the internal hard drive was trying to shut down. After about 4-5 clicks, it succeeded and the computer froze.
Since that time, shortly after you turn the iMac on, you hear that clicking noise trying to power down the hard drive. Sometimes, it just takes a few clicks and the hard drive shuts off. Sometimes the computer will boot all the way up, I can log in and launch a program before it shuts off and the computer freezes. While I can't check the drive with First Aid or Diskwarrior because it shuts off before I can scan it, I assume the data and the drive are ok because I have been able to successfully boot from it and log into my account but shortly after I log in, the hard drive shuts down and the computer is stuck.
Any ideas? Any help would be wonderful!

You are right. It is failing. I took my Mac into the Apple Store and talked with a genius. Although the hard drive would not do what it had at home (typical when you're trying to get something diagnosed) I shut it down so he could hear the noise I do.
Sure enough, he said the noise I heard was the drive read head hitting its start position. When a hard drive shuts down, the drive head moves out of the way since the "hard disk" is actually a thin floppy magnetic disc. The noise I kept hearing was indeed the drive trying to shut down.
Fortunately, I did make a clone of my internal drive to that external drive 6 months ago so I was (eventually) able to copy over all the important files, update the external clone and boot off of it.
Sure enough, tonight, I opened Disk Utility and it said in plain red letters that the drive had reported a hardware failure and should be replaced.
Since my iMac is Summer 2001, the Mac Genius said they no longer carry parts for it so he gave me the name of a local place that would be glad to fix it up. I called them and luck would have it that they were completely out of the internal drives used by my model iMac. So I have to check next week to see if they have received more in yet.
The good news is I can get a slightly larger interal hard drive since I was down to 10GB of a 60GB factory drive. So far, I hear I can go as high as 160GB but the RPM must be lower since my iMac has no fans.
Thanks for your help! As much as I didn't want to believe it, you hit the problem right on.

Ipod keeps returning to power off screen,

Ever since my Ipod touch was left on and the battery died, I have not been able to use it. I charged it and now it keeps going the the power off screen. I hit cancel and it promptly returns. How do I fix it??

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
- If not seen see if resetting the iPod will make it visible so you can restore it.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next see iuf placing the iPiod in recoverymode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I cannot make or receive calls suddenly. Ihave tried to power off and on and when I type in the numbers to make a call, nothing happens.

I cannot make or receive calls suddenly. The message bar shows 'searching' continuously without the WiFi symbol nor the LTE. Ihave tried to power on and off without success.
Any ideas?

Could be a power outage in your area.
YOu will need to contact your cell phone provider.

3rd gen iPod Touch (refurb) keeps asking to power off.

Hi, just purchased the above for my son and it keeps going to the slide to power off screen without pressing the off button. This occurs sometimes every few seconds (you can just hit cancel ok and it does)then stops. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Is this a setting somewhere? I have searched but cannot find anything. Help!

- First try resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore from backup via iTunes
- Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes
- Last would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare.

Phone keeps trying to shut off by itself...

Ok guys, i dont know what is going on. ever since i downloaded and installed 1.4 my phone keeps randomly asking me if i want to power off. not only that, but the power button is unresponsive, when this happens. I've noticed it does it most often when i have it charging, and usually it either does it at night or in the morning. Yesterday I didn't have the problem at all until the night time and then this morning I kept hearing my phone do the system sound thing, and it kept asking me if i wanted to power down. Even if i didn't touch it, it would just keep doing it. Is anyone having this problem? My phone was fine before 1.4 and now it is doing this. I don't think it's broken, and I am not sure why it only really does it when I am charging my phone (however, there have been times where it will do it when I am not charging) it is very frustrating. I've talked to Palm Support Chat, and the guy didn't help me, so does anyone here know what I should do?
I thought about taking it to the sprint store, but the problem is that this doesn't happen all the time, so I don't know how i am supposed to show them the problem...and usually the sprint stores i go to, if they can't see a problem with it they won't do anything about it. so i don't really have many places to get help at.
Thanks!

I just got my Palm Pre on Saturday. After uploading 1.4, I was not able to play the Palm's ringtones. I swapped it for another PPre the following day only to have it happen again. I brought it to the Sprint Tech office and was given 2 options, to swap it again for another Pre or to hang on to it for another month until the tech finds out how they will overcome this glitch with the 1.4 upload. I now have another problem with the Pre, though. Thrice today, the screen totally blanked out. The first time it happened, I had to press the power button, thinking that it turned itself off. The second and third time it happened, I waited about 20 seconds before the screen came up again. This seemed to occur after dialing out a number or after sliding up the screen. My husband experienced this a couple of times, too, with his new Pre. We're now thinking of swapping them for the HTC.

Ipod keeps trying to shut off by itself

Hello Everyone!
It seems that after I installed the 8.3.1 my iPod touch 5 is having issues. At first the power button did not want to work and i click it and it's not stuck or anything like that. I stopped using it and it keeps taking me to the screen where it asks you to slide to power off, it takes screenshots and the screen comes on when i haven't touched anything at all. It's getting very annoying. I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem because I'm out of warranty.
Thank you in advance to anyone who has any insight to this problem....

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
