My iPod keeps turning itself on

I just bought a refurbished 30 gig iPod. I charged it the night before, and when I woke up, its screen lit up and started playing Dane Cook. The battery was depleated. My friend said to turn off the alarm, but I'm not sure if that's working. I am totally sure I turned it off all the way. Could it be a defect because I got it used from Apple? I still have the warrenty...

See if it does it more than once, if it does, your ipod is a defect and you should send it into the place you bought it from.

  • 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.

  • Ipod keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until battery goes dead

    please help.....my ipod just keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until the battery goes dead. The only thing that will show up on the screen is the apple logo and then it will power cycle over and over and over! I have tried reseting it but I am limited to what I can do because the computer will not recognize the ipod when i connest it to my computer.

    Take it to your local Apple Store

  • IPod keeps turning itself on and off but wont start

    My iPod has been turning itself on, but before it's past the screen with the apple it turns itself back off and it will repeat doing that until the battery runs low then it will sit on the battery screen for a few minutes. After it gets some juice it starts back up with this crap. I figured it wasnt the battery because it was almostly completly fully charged when it started happening. It was when I was charging it, and when I was done I removed it from the computer properly; pushed the button to start it up and its been doing this disturbing ritual since. Ive tried every thats been suggested on this site, and I'd love to restore it, but iTunes doesnt reconize it. I've been trying to fix it for hours working with both the iPod and Windows but nothing seems to have any affect on it. I am afraid I'm going to have to replace the entire thing.
    If anybody knows anything that might help, please, I'll take any form of it ya got.

    I posted something earlier this week and i realized we have the exact same problem!!!! Sorry, but the bad news is that restore won't work!!! I put it on disk mode so the computer finally recognized it. It also charges on disk mode. I charged it for over an hour. But after i tried restore, it went back its old routine! Now I'm starting to charge it on normal mode for four hours, just in case. Have you tried the 'drain it for 24 hours' thing? I've seen it on several websites, but haven't tried it yet. SOMEONE HELP US!!!!!

  • 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.

  • Ipod mini keeps turning itself on???????

    My 4GB ipod mini keeps turning itself on. It does this even when it is locked. This is a real pain as it keeps running the battery completely flat.
    Can anyone suggest why this happens & how to stop it?
    Many thanks.

  • My iPod mini keeps turning itself on.

    Well my iPod mini keeps turning itself on although i've turned it off and put it on hold. It's draining the battery and it's annoying me as when i go to use it i can't because the battery is flat. Does anyone know why it's doing this and can help me please?

    Sounds like an alarm is set.
    Go to Extras>Clock>Alarm Clock and turn off the alarm.

  • After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    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
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • 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.

  • Ipod mini keeps turning itself back on whenever I turn it off.

    My ipod mini turns itself on whenever I turn it off. It's still under guarantee but if I get new one will I be able to download the music from itunes or will I need to start again?

    Are you putting the iPod on Hold using the slider whenever you turn it off? The clickwheel is quite sensitive and a touch will bring it back on. If you were to get another one, as long as all your songs are in iTunes you would just have to connect it to your computer and it would pretty much walk you through the installatation and automatically update.

  • Iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down

    iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down?

    Hi cainstigator,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's volume setting not staying the way it should, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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. 

  • How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

    My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

    Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
    If not, the power button stuck down.
