Check the sleep option, maybe it being hit accidently. Maybe reset your setting on ipod, check background setting. Seems strange.Maybe use the hold button to lock ipod.

  • My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

    Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
    What should I do?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

  • My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off.

    My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off while listening to a song. I was happier with the older version which they claimed had a battery problem and replaced it with the newer version. The batterrry on the 6th gen is fully charged.

    You aren't pushing hard enough on the headphone jack and plugging it all the way in. The headphone jack is very tight when new, make sure the white plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the Nano.

  • IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

    I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

  • IPhone 4 keeps powering off at random times

    My iPhone 4 keeps powering off at random times, I have restored it 3 times. It was real bad like every 15-20 mins, but after the restore, it is random.
    It may turn off 2 times in an hour and be fine the rest of the day. Or it may turn off every 4 hours...
    Nothing triggers it more then Ipod setting, Listening to the ipod.
    Any Ideas?

    I had only the base apps. No music no other apps. Just played around with settings and checked mail. It did it with that as well.
    Took it to my local apple store. They replaced it. New phone going strong so far. Full restore. All apps, all music, all ringtones, and movies. No issues so far... Seems like it was just a bad phone. But they took care of it!

  • Ipod Nano will not turn off

    My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

    I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • My ipod touch 5G keeps turning off and on after i turned off everything in mobilesubstrate settings on SB setting!

    Ok, so i just jailbroke, and my ipod was going into safe mode a lot on its own, so i searched online for a solution, and that was to find the problem cydia tweak i downloaded, one of the ways was to got into the mobilesubstrate settings and single out the tweak, so i turned everything off but one, then my ipod shut off, and now it keeps turning off and on non stop, but never goes to the lockscreen, and the time for this startup and shutdown is prolonged! please Help!!!  i tried to restore with itunes but it keeps turning on and off!

    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • Ipod 4th gen keeps turning off

    My iPod 4th gen has a full battery, but it keeps turning off.  The power button does not turn it back on, I have to put it on the charger.  When I do that it shows a dead (red) battery.  Can someone tell me why???

    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.

  • IPod nano has trouble turning off

    Hi!
    I have a second gen 4g iPod, and I have so much trouble turning it off! Sometimes, it takes like 10 tries before I can get it to turn off. I've tried turning it off on a hard surface, but that doesn't work.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi cgmv,
    There are a few things that you can do with an iPod that won't turn off.
    First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
    Then, after you’ve verified that your iPod’s Hold switch isn’t on, here a few things to try:
    -- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step, as it can be more effective.
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    If a bit of "regular toggling" doesn't seem to do anything, try this:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
    3 - After you've done that for a little while (for perhaps 15-20 seconds), eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.
    -- Try letting your iPod's battery drain out. Use your iPod enough that its battery finally goes completely dead, asking for you to re-charge it.
    At this point, connect your iPod to your computer's USB port, or connect it to a charger, and leave it there for a couple of hours.
    Now see if your iPod will turn off after trying that.
    -- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod, but often clears up iPod issues you might be facing.
    For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article:

  • My iphone 5 keeps turning off at random battery precentages

    Help! My iphone randomly turns off at random battery precentages.  I find this actually really annoying because its unsafe.. I mean, if my phone randomly dies and if I got in a car accident? Was lost and needed directions? Or anything else, it is so unpredictable!

    A low battery is not the only phenomenon that will cause the iPhone to shut down.  Excessive heat or cold are examples of other phenomena that cause this behavior.

  • My iPod nano never completely turns off.....

    I will wait until a song ends or I will push pause and then hold down the play button. It turns off. But I will leave it like that for 3 days and I will click play and it will turn right back on like I just turned it off. What I am trying to say is that it is like it is always on standby and it never shows the Apple Logo when turned back on. Is there a setting to this? My brother's iPod nano (1st Gen) and my sister's iPod video 60GB always turns completely off after 12 hours. So after 12 hours on their iPods you click play and the Apple sign shows and then turns on. But mine never does that. Can anyone understand what I am trying to say? Any help?
    Thanks!

    "But I will leave it like that for 3 days and I will click play and it will turn right back on like I just turned it off."
    Mine is the same. See this about "hibernation".
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60945
    Although it says after a period of inactivity of 14 hours or more, when you turn it on again you should see the Apple logo, mine almost always resumes from where it left off unless it's not been used for a long time.
    The power is still conserved so I wouldn't worry about it.

  • My ipod nano 6th generation turns off after she tells me the screen is dimming than ipod goes off.

    I wanted to know if there is someone at Apple that can give me some guidance on how to use my ipod nano 6th generation.  I am not sure if I am working it properly or if there is something wrong with it.
    I cannot get back to home page; I shut it off and on and it just stays on same page.  I cannot take the voice constantly interrupting the song or functions;
    When you set an album in play it will just play the first song over and over never going to next song.  The genius interrupts and starts randomly playing different songs; when you select a song the voice comes and and tells you the screen is dimming and then seconds later it turns off.
    I have tried to read the directions put the ipod won't allow me to follow.
    Please help!

    Is VoiceOver turned on?  See here for more help on how to turn it off if need be.
