- 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 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.

IPod 5th Gen keeps turning on and off!! ***

My iPod 5th Gen just keeps turning on and off, I dunno why but it just does!
I just updated the iPod about 10 minutes ago, and it completed then right after it comes up with the Silver Apple logo, then lights up, then shuts down, makes the hard drive clicky sound too. And just does that over and over and over again. I hate it.
I've tried to put it into Disk mode, and Menu+Select and Menu+Play. Nothing works!
What do I do??

im having the same problems but once i get my ipod into disk mode i cant seem to restore it..
You restore it when plugged into your computer and it shows up in iTunes. The restore function is in iTunes. Sometimes you have to force the iPod into disk mode in order to get it to mount and show up in iTunes.

My ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes

my ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

My nano 5th gen doesnt turn on while I charge it.. help please

my nano 5th gen doesnt turn while I charge it..help please

So I assume it doesn't power on when you disconnect it either? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? What happens if you try to perform a hard reset of the Nano with it still connected to the charger? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It could also be a faulty cable that is preventing your iPod from being able to build up or receive any sort of charge or current from the external power source. If you have another cable laying around, swap it out to see if that helps.

Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)

Hi everyone.
My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!

I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.
Help PLEASE!!

My ipod 5th gen keeps turning off whenever I unlock it!

A few days ago I was on my ipod 5th gen and it randomly restarted itself, I didn't think much of it but as soon as I unlocked my ipod it froze for a second or two and restarted itself again, it happens every time I unlock it, if i stay on the home screen its fine and I can access my music but it wont connect to any wifi and always restarts itself every time i type in the passcode. I've tried going into itunes to back it up and restore it but it needs me to allow access to my ipod by unlocking it (which i cant do) and saying i trust my computer. Nothing ive tried has done anything and i cant back it up cuz i cant unlock my ipod without it restarting itself.

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 an existing backup. You may have an iCloud backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period. My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

IPod 5th Gen not waking up and battery life effected by iPod 1.2.1 update.

So I've been waiting for an update to the iPod software hoping that enough people have complained enough about the issues the 1.2.1 software update is causing. My particular iPod is a 5th Gen 60 gig. I've been using iPod software version 1.1 for some time now. I've updated my iPod to version 1.2 & 1.2.1 on many different occasions each time having the exact same result and having to take it back to the previous software version.
After updating the iPod a few different things happen. First and most importantly the iPod consistently will not wake up after it goes to sleep. In order for me get it to come back to life I have to hard restart it using the Menu + Center buttons. It can go to sleep after I unplug it from my Mac or even after I pause a song and it will not come back without a Hard Restart.
This probably wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that it resets my ratings and even worse while the iPod is in this state of not waking up the battery drains at a rapid pace as though the iPod is using power even though its completely non responsive.
Also the iPod refuses to play any of the new games downloadable from iTunes. I've downloaded a few games such as Pac-Man etc. When I attempt to access them the iPod freezes and becomes unusable. Its still on and I can see the backlighting as well as feel the HD spinning but becomes completely unresponsive and must be Hard Reset.
So this has basically been my experience with the 1.2.x software updates. I was hoping that Apple would have an update available by now that would squash all of these bugs but they have not and so I'm posting here now in the hopes that both Apple will recognize the issue and maybe some one out there has a temporary fix for the issue.

On my 5th Gen iPod video, to wake it from hibernation, pressing the select button by itself works for me. I had concerns http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4555675#4555675 that something may be wrong because pressing play/pause won't wake it from hibernation.

My iPod 5th gen was working fine and now it won't turn on.

This morning I was listening to music on it and everything, it was working absolutely fine and went to take a shower, so I locked it. When I came back, it would not respond at all. Like it is on the off screen, with nothing on it. I bought it off a friend and the home button is stuck, so I can't put it in recovery mode, and I was going to download a client to do it on a computer, but my personal laptop does not recognize it (it doesn't even come up on the computer usb port thing and it doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall). I just recently purchased the charger (literally in the last week) so I do not believe it is the charger because it was charging fine all night. Also it was at full charge when I went to shower so I honestly have no idea what to do. I looked up solutions but I am unable to do anything when my computer can't even recognize it. Somebody please help me, or at least tell me I'm screwed so I can stop worrying about it This iPod is important to me and I have a lot of valuable data on it so I will be very dissapointed if I cannot continue to use it.

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.
