My i pod wont turn off ?

yeah so i let it charge for like a day, which ive done before, but for some reason now it wont turn off so i cant take it any where cause i dont want the battery to die
its like ill sit there for pretty much a whole song holding the pause button but it still wont turn off, but the pause button works cause i can pause a song
ive tried:
-charging it some more
-leaving it alone for a wile (all day, like not playing anything)
-hooking it up to my computer (its been a while cause i only do it when i download stuff)
-putting it on hold (my friend does that to turn it off)
so yeah is there any other way to turn it off? or has this happened to anyone?

I just press menu+select(or enter or whatever its called) for about 5 seconds. that should restart the ipod( i think it clears the cache but correct me if im wrong). Anyways, do that and you shouldnt have any more problems (at least for a while)
Just do that everytime it doesnt want to shut off, thats what i do

  • 5th gen i-pod wont turn off URGENT please reply, REALLY WORRIED

    nothing weird happened to it, just went funny on me. will sync with computer (windows xp) however it sounds like theres some whirring noises inside it. it is playing music. I have spent a lot of time building a library through borrowing from other people and I would be devastated to lose all my music. please please help me through this SOMEONE. I am a complete dunce when it comes to computers so try to be patient.

    The latest versions of itunes have not been very stable, so I would not suggest playing music while loading into itunes. If you are not very computer literate, the best way to back up your music is to buy an external drive. They are not very expensive, less than $100 for let's say 150 gigs. I have 16,000 songs in my library and still have about 50 gigs left, so you will have plenty of room for expansion, in the future. Once you do this, all you need to do is connect the drive to your computer. Open up that drive into a half window (top right hand of screen,middle button of _ ()X . Then open the place where all of your music file are, normally the C drive, my computer, my music, and drag the entire content to your external drive. You now have a copy of all of your music. If you do not go this route, it means making a cd copy of all of your music, which you will have to re-load if you lose all of your file (as when a computer crashes). This involves doing everything again. If you have all of your files in an external drive, all you have to do is ask itunes to organize all of your music (in preferences), and the work is all done for you. Depending on which way you go, I am sure that once you do this, it you can ask, and someone will provide a step by step process, or you can ask me when you get to that point.

    i will never order one because i got an i pod 3 g i have not had it long and it wont turn off or on or charge i cant believe that you would try  to sell me something when the one i have now is good for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do i talk to someone about it i called the 1800 # with no luck i would like to e mail someone!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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.

  • 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.

  • My mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

    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!
