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!

Mine is the same. See this about "hibernation".

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.

  • 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

  • My Ipod nano 7th generation turned off and won't turn back on. what should I do?

    my Ipod nano 7th generation turned off and won't turn back on. what should I do?

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • My Ipod NANO 4gb keeps turning off at random times

    My Ipod NANO 4gb keeps on turning off at random times. The battery is fully charged, and i've updated the IPOD and ITUNES. What can I do?

    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 3g suddenly turns off and wont turn back on .

    After a while my ipod turns off and wont turn back on the charge on the battery marks at least half of the power, it happends when im listening to music after a few minutes i connected it and turned back on instantly with the apple logo so i disconected it, and tried again and happened again.. im using another headphones .   is there any way to check battery life ?  How can i solve this?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  If nothing else, work through each of the 5 R's of troubleshooting for your iPod to rule out the possibility of any sort of software error/glitch or data corruption.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    Otherwise, you have a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for service/replacement either via Apple or a third party service.

  • Ipod Nano won't turn off anymore

    Since a view days i can't shut down my ipod anymore. I tried to reset is, used the updater and even used the restore option.
    But everytime i turn it off it goes on in about 5 seconds on its own. It only shuts down when the battery is empty.
    I hope it's just an software error:(
    Greets Marcel.

    Hello Marcel,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions by the way,
    Why isn't there a button for ''this doesn't help me at all''?
    Because that would be rude.
    Because this wasn't very helpfull since i've read all the help and support stuff from the apple website.
    If that is the case, you should have mentioned that in your original post. How would we know what you have and have not tried? We all have to start somewhere when it comes to troubleshooting these kinds of issues.
    I think it is a hardware problem since non of the software fixes work.
    If you already know what the problem is, you should know what steps to take next. If you have a warranty, take advantage of it now. If not visit your closest Genius bar and have them take a look at or set it up to be serviced, either through Apple or a third party repair company.
    Best of luck.

  • MY 1st GEN IPOD NANO WON'T TURN OFF IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

    It just seems to have a problem recognizing when i'm pushing the play/pause button or if I'm trying to shut it off. It has had water damage is their any way to make it shut off. PLEASE.

    Hi, i had the same problem with my 1st gen 4GB nano. I solved it by chosing not to visualize the clock on the ipod display. you can change this option from the ipod prefernces. Apparently visualizing the clock on the display triggers some kind of bug.... Don't ask me why or how, but it worked! good luck:)

  • Light of nano won't turn off - normal??

    Hi @ all!
    My problem:
    While connected to my Computer and also connected to iTunes, my iPod nano doesn't turn off its light as the 2nd gen nano did. It just stays lit on, saying 'Connected' and the 'disconnect from iTunes first' stuff as it should (i hope it should ^^)
    Is that normal?
    Shouldn't it turn off the light, as it's kinda waste of Electricity and it might have to load the battery longer as its lit all the time.
    Also I think that it's not very good for the display to show the same thing with light on for let's say 3 hours.
    Could anyone help me? Is it normal that the light stays turned on while connected to iTunes on 3rd gen iPod nanos?
    Thanx in advance
    elFlexor

    It stays on untill you "eject" it. After that you can leave it plugged in and the light will turn off like normal. You can let it charge as is, or you can turn the nano off. Either way it will charge with the light off.

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.
