  • Why does my iPod touch turn off right after I slide to unlock?

    I have a third generation iPod touch that used to work just fine. However, it won't turn on unless charging and as soon as I slide to unlock it, the slide to power off option turns on. Despite cancelling it, it automatically turns off. It's very frustrating and I've tried restoring it, but to no avail. The problem continues.
    Any suggestions as to how to get it up and functioning properly again?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Does your IPOD not turn off properly??? Does it click with the screen off?

    Guys,
    I know there is someone bright out there,
    I have recently bought a Ipod 5g black 60gb, and the thing wont 'turn off' I believe appple call it shut down. Am i right in saying it goes to sleep, and thats it, the screen turns off, and it goes to sleep??
    The strange thing is, the clicker wheel sometimes still clicks if you rub your fing over it, (screen off) and obviously pressing any button turns it fully on.
    The two clicking noises are different, sometimes it sounds as if you are turning the volume up, and down, or other times it just sounds like you are scrolling through a music album list.
    Apple tech support, wasnt very helpful and she suggested the 5 r's well done them, and still not working, i have found a medicore solution, and that is to put the thing physically to sleep, ie have a shortcut, to sleep on the main menu, and this turns the display, can anyone confirm whether this is the same has holding down the play button?
    (would a diagnostic check pick this up)
    Obviously, i am worried about the battery, because it wont turn off. I tried testing the copacity of the battery, but i cant, as for some strange reason, i cant rip (geniuine) AAC or MP3 music at the desired, level, for some reason cant hear it at all? or it just sqeulches.
    I would be very interested in hearing from anyone experienced anything similar, or if the great person who invented this cool thing, is reading, please post a reply!!
    Thanks for your time,
    ps sorry fpr the long post!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this for more info...
    About Sleep, Deep Sleep, Hibernation, and Sleep Timer
    The iPod doesn't fully turn off for a while. (Hibernation, or even more "Off", Deep Sleep).
    When you manually turn the iPod off (or it turns itself off), it goes into sleep.
    After you turn it off, it may still make noise when you rub your finger on the clickwheel. This may occur for about a minute. You could always activate the hold switch after you turn it off.
    But it is normal for the iPod to make the clickwheel noise when you rub your finger along the clickwheel right after the iPod is turned off. It may take a minute or so to fully go into "Sleep."
    Again, everything you are experiencing is normal. Read that link for more info as well.

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod randomly turned off, now I can't turn it back on....

    I have already held the power button, and the home button, and plugged it into my computer.
    Here's the thing.... I was listening to music, and then I pressed the power button to turn the screen off, well my ipod just turned off, and I cannot for anything get it to turn back on.. and it had a full battery while I was using it ( so it's not the battery either)
    The ipod touch is about 2 years old, and I have never had this happen to me before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    If resetting does not help, connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • Why does my iPod classic turn off?

    I've had my iPod classic for about five years now and about two months ago it started to act weird. Whenever I would press next too much I notice the battery depleting to almost the red zone, but I fully charged it that day.Before all of this happened I noticed that my iPod would always ask to be restored. Now, it seems to have gotten a lost worse. Before I could listen to my iPod classic for at least a whole day without needing a charge, but now I can't even do that anymore. I'd be lucky if I could listen to a whole album. I would love to try and buy a new iPod classic, but I'm a college student and broke so I really can't afford one. So any help would be great. Thank you!

    You most likely have activated the sleep timer.
    Setting the Sleep Timer
    You can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow for a
    specific period of time.
    To set the sleep timer:
    1 Choose Extras > Clock and then choose a clock.
    2 Choose Sleep Timer and choose how long you want iPod to play.
    When you set the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod
    turns off appear in the Now Playing screen on iPod.

  • Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use?

    Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use?  Is the battery defective?

    I figured it out.  Headphones were not plugged all the way in.  This support community is awesome.  Thanks everyone.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
