My iPod nano will not shut off.
I was setting up for a photo slideshow, and the music started playing, but the picture didn't show up. The music eventually ended, but now nothing shows up on my screen, while the backlight remains on. I went to iTunes, and it said that my iPod is corrupted. I tried to restore it, but it then froze up and I had to end iTunes through task manager. (I use Windows by the way.) Now it won't read my iPod when I plug it up. I'm stuck here staring at my brand new iPod thinking i'm screwed. Does anyone know what I can do?
i dont know about the rest but i had the same problem getting my computer to recognize my ipod. you can try going to add and remove programs in control panel, select itunes and click change. some stuff will pop up but eventually it will ask you if you want to repair or delete. click repair and the next time you plug in your ipod it should be recognized.

My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up
My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?
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 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 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 Classic will not shut off
Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change
Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off. Then activate the hold switch.

I've tried EVERYTHING. iPod still will NOT shut off...
My iPod has refused to shut off for over a week now. First I went through all the usual steps (resetting dozens of times) and I still could not get it to turn off by pressing play/pause. I then restored my iPod and the thing will still not shut off.
Oddly enough it will turn off if it is being charged, but if it is not, it will remain on. Even the SLEEP button does not work!
I haven't the slightest idea what to do now. Any and all help is greatly appreciated
60gb iPod photo Windows XPHad a similar problem. holding play/pause didnt turn mine off.. (also 60GB iPod Photo). But mine did turn off if I disconnected the headphones while its on hold to make it pause and then then automatically switched itself off after a couple of minites of not being used. If this is a bad batch watch out... i've just had a hard-disk failure. see

Ipod touch 2nd generation (works fine), but will not shut off
my ipod touch 2nd gneration works fine, but it will not shut off. This use to work: I would hold down both top and face button for about 10 seconds and it would shut down. Now nothing happens no matter how long I hold those 2 buttons down. Any suggestions?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes on new laptop. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...
Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
My generation 6 IPOD Nano will not let me put songs on my playlist from the library. A message comes up saying it has to be downloaded from the cloud. I do I bypass this?
If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Then sync them to your iPod.

Is there a way to disable a CPU core to save battery on the Twist?
That thing overheats even when it's on low power (stepping on lowest). Can we disable a core to make it less hot?
