My ipod keeps turning itself off,  it syncs and charges fine. does anyone know what i can do?

i brought a second hand ipod, i would told it was fully functional. however, sometimes it likes to turn itself off halfway through songs.
it syncs to my mac fine and the battery can last upto a few days.
does anybody please have any advice? thanks.

Have you restored it in iTunes yet? If the issue is software related then a restore will resolve your issue, since it will remove all data and system software and reinstall the system software.

    I have a MacBook Pro with all the necessary requirements.

    Here are a few things to try:
    Restart your Modem and Router.
    Reset iTunes Store Cache (iTunes Preferences, Advanced tabl)
    Delete the App Store plists (close App Store first):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    To get to these,iIf you still have your user Library hidden, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder. Otherwise, just go into your home folder, then Library, and then Preferences.

  • After I sync my ipod I'm getting the message that it cannot backup ipod because backup could not be saved on this computer does anyone know what I could try to resolve this issue?

    After I sync my ipod itunes is giving me the message that backup for my ipod cannot be saved on the computer does anyone know what I could do to fix this issue?

    Check out this Apple document -> iTunes: "Backup could not be saved on the computer" alert message
    To resolve this issue, delete the backup in iTunes Preferences and then create a new backup. If you would like to retain a copy of the backup, you can move the backup file to a different location. The backup is located in the locations below.
    On Windows Vista and Windows 7:
    \Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To delete the backup file:
        Open iTunes Preferences by choosing iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
        Select Devices.
        Select the device backup to delete.
        Click Delete Backup. iTunes will ask if you are sure you want to delete the backup. Click Delete Backup.
        Click OK.
    To manually create a new backup, right-click (or Control-click) iPhone on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices and choose Back Up from the shortcut menu.

  • My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

    I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
    The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
    I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
    I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
    It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
    The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
    I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?

  • HT201269 I changed my email address for iTunes & iCloud, but my new phone keeps asking for me to sign in with my old iCloud email and password.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I had to change my personal email address that was linked to my iTunes and iCloud.  According to the information in my Apple ID, it is switched over.  My phone, however, disagrees with me.  I keep getting a pop-up asking me to sign into my iCloud account, but it has my previous email address Apple ID information displayed.  When I look in my settings under iCloud, it still shows my old information and I cannot see any way to change it.  Any ideas?

    You need to check icloud on the phones setting you will see the old email there
    Follow these step to a T
    Change apple id back to old email
    sign out in settings
    then chnage back to what u want the account to be

  • My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly

    My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly. I will be doing something, and it turns off. It gets so bad that it turns off right after I slide to unlock it. Sometimes it flickers off and on as well. It works fine when plugged in to a power source. I haaven't done anything traumatic to it either. It just randomly started. Has this happened to anyone? If so, did you fix it? If you did, How? Please tell me, I'm at the eand of my rope with this.

    Depending on the usage and age of the device it could be the battery.
    To make sure it is not software related, reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back gain. You will not lose data doing a reset.
    Next step after that would be setting it up "as new device" without using the latest backup: How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

  • IPod keeps turning itself on and off after attempted update

    I attempted to update my iPod touch 4 from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 but now my iPod keeps shutting itself off and turning itself on.

    - Try a reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try to restore the iPod.
    - If you could not restore and it is still turning on and of and on and off...let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • 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 iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.
