My iPod 5 keeps shutting itself off even though it is on the charger

First of all, my iPod can go from half full to 'only 20% left' and back. Super annoying but:
Even when my iPod 5 is low on battery and plugged in with an official charger, he still shuts himself down out of the blue and says that the battery is empty. Moments later when he is recharged again everything is fine and I can continue where I was. But still, this annoys the **** out of me...
It can't be charger because I just bought a new one after half a year because of the awesome quality..
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple but my iPod is not even a year old and this makes me very sad. HELP?

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.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off...

    Moderators, I really need your help.
    My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off after my power supply got damaged (the cord was cut open and the two small cables were touching each other causing it to spark a little). Now I turn it on and just 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts itself off everytime. The media card is damaged too. Last night I charged its batteries and 5 minutes ago it was already drained. I dont want to lose my contacts, notes or BBM contacts.
    Please at least help me diagnose the problem.

    Hi dalstongirl
    Have you already sent your BlackBerry in for service?  If not, I would advise checking for any software updates by plugging in your BlackBerry to your PC and going to www.blackberry.com/update
    Thanks

  • My iPad keeps shutting itself off during use.  It does not matter is the battery is 100% charged or not.  Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • BRAND NEW i27 KEEPS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF

    Just bought the latest and apparently greatest in iMac desktop computers and I am getting frustrated cause the bloody thing keeps shutting itself down.
    It is the i27 with 16gb ram, the i7 3.4 quad core with 768gig Flash and the graphics upgrade to 2gig g-force gtx 680. We didnt mess around with "should we"
    It will be fine when using it but when you walk away from it, the screen saver comes on and it eventually goes to sleep. Now this is pi55ing my wife off no end as she uses automatic programs on farmville etc. Even when its running, it still opts for Screen saver, and sleep. When she wakes it up, low and behold she logs in and her automatic programs have stopped and I get the old "come and fix this stupid thing"
    I have turned off every automatic shutdown and screensaver option I can find.
    Now
    I am starting to get pi55ed off.
    Anyone got any sugegstions?

    So you've gone to system prefences, energy settings, and moved the computer sleep slider to never but it still goes to sleep?
    You can open terminal and type pmset -g to verify your sleep setting is 0 and not a number like 15 or 30...
    You can also download the app caffine from the Mac App Store.  Install it and you'll get a coffee cup on the upper task bar.  Click it and your iMac will never sleep for sure.

  • When on battery power, my IPod Nano it shuts itself off after 2-3 minutes.  Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

    Can anyone help me keep my iPod Nano from shutting itself down after 2-3 minutes on battery power?  It works fine when connected to a power source.
    Thanks,
    George

    Try here to fix it.  I doubt that you will ever find out why it did that.

  • Spotlight keeps indexing a volume even though it's on the "Prevent List"

    Picture is worth a thousand words:
    Basically my volume, Lucifer, is indexed time and time again by Spotlight even though I have placed the volume on the list of volume sto be ignored by Spotlight. Teh other volume, Media, is never indexed, but Lucifer is always being indexed and this is extremely annoying as it slows down the machine. I have removed Luciefr from the list and added it again and it does not work.
    Looks like a bug to me.

    Run this command in the Terminal app:
    *mdutil -s /Volumes/*
    It should return at least these:
    /Volumes/Lucifer:
    +Indexing and searching disabled.+
    /Volumes/Media:
    +Indexing and searching disabled.+
    If not, run this one to disable indexing on Lucifer:
    *sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Lucifer*
    at the Password: prompt, enter your admin password carefully, since it doesn't display on the screen, and hit the return key. Enter the first command to ensure you get that it's disabled for Lucifer.

  • My ipod keeps shutting itself off

    For example I am in shuffle and I will skip the song and it turns itself off.

    New 5g Video Ipods should not restart/shut off when using a simple function as skip/next ~~ I found this glitch on the first day of owning mine and returned it IMMEDIATELY. Some people will suggest to you to RESTORE the ipod; don't bother, it will not fix the issue. Return it for another one. I got mine exchanged with no hassle.

  • Why does my Macbook Core 2 Duo 13" keep shutting itself off and/or repetively rebooting on its own?

    My Macbook Core 2 Duo 13" won't stay on for any significant time anymore. When it does, it seems that the slightest movement, or pressing a key will shut it down or it just shuts down on its own. Or it reboots repetitively after chiming. Or it remains on as it is doing now for the last 30 minutes, long enough to see if it needed a firmware update. It's never on long enough to really use it anymore.
    When there is no image on the screen, I often can hear the fan or drive running quietly in the background. I can turn it off by powering down with the button. Without the power cord, it will eventually drain the battery if I don't force shut it down.
    I have verified that the hard drive is OK by removing it and mounting it externally.
    I have been unable to do a hard system reboot (hold down powerbutton until system starts and continue to hold until tone) - no tone, just keeps rebooting.
    When it stayed on long enough, I tried to install the firmware 1.1 update. Message was that it didn't need it.
    I have tried removing one RAM card at a time ( it has 1GB + 512Mb). Haven't really noticed any change. "POST" message is OK when it starts
    Any ideas? I've looked at all the "usual suspects".  Thanks!

  • HT203433 When I try to set my automatic download to yes on my Ipod it keeps shutting it off. Why is this happening?

    I bought some items from Itunes and was able to get them onmy IPAD however my IPOD is not getting them. So I went into the settings on my IPOD and try to change the automatic downlaods from no to yes but it keeps turning it off. Why is this happening and what should I do?

  • Canon 60d keeps shutting itself off!!

    I'm having a major issue with my Canon 60d and I'm hoping you can help me.
    I'm shooting a documentary with many interviews. This **bleep** camera keeps shutting off. Not the 12 min shut off during video, it just keeps shutting off.
    I read on blogs about the SD card not keeping up. I've used two cards: ScanDisk 32 mb class 10, and Transcend 32 mb class 10 and had the same issue. I'm shooting 1920x1080 24fps.
    I'm thinking maybe the camera is getting hot? It will initially record fine for about 20 min's then shut off. Recoding again it shuts off after about 7 min. then 5 min, then 3 then continues at a lower and lower recording time until it shuts off around 30 seconds into recording.
    I have found nothing online that will solve this problem.
    I am interviewing many well know figures who have been around a long time and have great notoriety, and it's extremely embarrassing  to have this happening. Not to mention not getting the information I need for the movie because of camera issues.
    Please help!!!
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Much gratitude,

    It would be very unusual to not get the white and red icons. I suggest more experiments and you might try to reduce your resolution. Have you tried 720P? Also, 32 GB is a huge card size. (I know, I know, they are very cost effective.) You should try a smaller size card. Thirty minutes of 1080p movie should work out to about 2GB making a 32GB card capable of holding about 7 hours of footage.
    I guess the bottom line is you should make certain that you don't need a second body to film your interviews; something I think you should seriously consider. One body could cool while the other shoots.
    Good luck.

  • My Ipod Nano keeps turning itself off halfway through a song, anyone know why this happens?

    I have had my Nano since November and have downloaded cds and music of downloads.  When I play the ipod halfway through a song the ipod turns itself off. Do you think this is a fault with the Ipod or am I doing something wrong when downloading the music?

    Hey jokoboco,
    At this point get your ipod service with apple. Have your Serial number ready. Sounds like your iPod has a hardware issue, a kind of defect. Use any of these options:

  • Macbook keeps shutting itself off after upgrading to snow leopard

    Hi everyone, I hope you can help me out as I am out of ideas! After be assured that I could upgrade my late 2006 intel based macbook (10.5.8) to snow leopard, I bought the disc and tried to install. Everytime I tried, it shut itself down. I wiped the hard drive clean and tried again. Still happened. Finally after 14 hours of attempts, something finally stuck and I had snow leopard. I then tried to get all the updates and it kept shutting down. I tried to migrate my files from time machine and it shut itself down. Fed up, I tried to go back to leopard, but the computer won't stay on long enough to complete this. I wiped the hard drive clean again and now it won't stay on long enough to get to the start up page! HELP! I tried starting up in safe mode and it won't work. I've run disc utility several times and it says everything is OK. Now I have a blank hard drive on a computer that won't stay on for more than 5 minutes. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I got to take it in to an apple specialist as the apple store has already told me the refuse to work on it because it is older than 5 years!!!!

    Try a PRAM reset
    Shut down your Mac.

  • IPhone 3G keeps shutting itself off

    Randomly my iPhone will come up with the power off slider and cancel button at the bottom. I don't even have to be touching it at the time. If I don't catch it and hit cancel, it just goes to the apple logo. I reset the settings and also did a full restore but it is still happening. It also feels really warm. It started doing this after I was laying out the other day and it got a bit hot. I never got the temperature warning, will this go away or am I just kinda screwed?

    mine is doing exactly the same ... did you find a solution?

  • MBP shutting down unexpectedly even though battery meter still has charge

    Hi,
    just in this last week, my MBP has been shutting itself down very suddenly when on battery power when there's still charge left.
    At first there was about 25% charge left. Over the next few days, that went up progressively till today it is now shutting itself down with more than 50% charge left.
    Has anyone had issues such as this? and what should i do to rectify it?
    I'm going to try recalibrating the battery.
    I don't usually use the MBP with the power connected
    I try where I can to charge and then disconnect and use till power is low.

    I was having same problem: meter shows plenty of charge left, yet MBP shuts down. When I decided to take a look at my battery (also with recall in mind) was horrified to find it swollen and warped so badly -- pushing out of its casing. Could barely get it out and then back in. That I'm getting any charge at all amazes me considering how badly the battery is misshapen.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm beginning to think Apple's not being quite up-front about the seriousness of the problem: Yes, MBP gets hot, yet no more than my old PowerBook and iBooks.
    But, had we been given batteries which are perhaps really unsafe, not to mention causing lost work time and maybe systemic difficulties?
