My iPod now turns off after failing to turn off.

When my iPod couldn't turn off and the battery drained, I deleted "the song" when the problem came, full-charged it via the computer and it haven't occurred again.
I occurs to me:
1-Sometimes certain files get corrupted, for example word files, and get the application fail. I am not sure this fixed the problem but for the moment everything is OK with my iPod.
2-I noticed that when my iPod is recharged, I need to wait two or three minutes for turning off, otherwise it is imposible. And if you hear closely there is some noise in it. Don't try to turn off inmmediately after recharging it.

Excuse me, I wanted to post at the iPod video forum.

  • Ipod Touch Totally Dead After Failed Update to 4.0 OS

    Hi folks,
    There is another discussion with the exact same title but the problem was never resolved. I decided to create a new discussion because I successfully revived my buddies iPod that had the same problem. I know a lot of people probably still have paperweight out-of-warranty iPods lying around, so here goes!
    My friend had a 3rd gen 8GB iPod Touch and uses iTunes on Windows XP. He plugged his iPod in one night and iTunes recommended he update to OS4. He was previously running the latest OS3 so he said "why not?!". Along went the update no problem until right before rebooting the iPod at the end. He reported that all of a sudden, the battery charging screen popped up with a fully charged green battery, then instantly changed to a red "dead battery" screen then it shut off entirely. That was it. Dead. Nothing he would do with the buttons gave any sign of life.
    1 month later of researching, trying DFU mode and all sorts of attempts - still a dead, attractive paperweight with never a single pixel of light on the screen. He finally gave up and asked me to take a look at it.
    I tried charging it overnight with a 110V to USB wall charger (as some people recommended) - no change.
    I tried plugging it into a Mac (as some people also suggested) - no change, no signs of life.
    Plugging it into a Windows XP machine gave an "Unknown USB device" or "USB device not recognized" error.
    Well. I managed to get it into DFU (restore) mode and reinstalled OS4.2 with no problem (but it was not obvious) - now it is working again! A fully revived iPod Touch!
    So, here is what I did:
    1. Left "charging" overnight with a wall-charger NOT THE USB PORT OF A PC OR MAC.
    2. Getting the iPod into DFU mode is tricky and a question of precise timing so it seems. The exact sequence that worked for me was: 1. HOLD the power button. 2. HOLD (at the same time) the Home button. 3. After 10 seconds, release the POWER button and continue to HOLD the Home button. Eventually, the PC or Mac should detect a new USB device and automatically install the driver for the DFU recovery mode. Once the iPod is detected in this mode, you can release the Home button. Note that you MUST have iTunes installed in order for the computer to install the driver for the iPod. If you do not have iTunes installed, Windows will still report the device as a "USB Device" and ask for the driver (contrary to the "Unknown USB device" or "USB device not recognized" errors). Once the device is happy in your OS, fire up iTunes and follow the instructions to restore your iPod. Enjoy! I recommend downloading/installing the LATEST ITUNES before recovering your device. Older versions of iTunes may contain the bug that killed your iPod the first time you tried updating.
    Notes: 1. According to Apple, holding the 2 buttons down for 10 seconds and releasing both buttons at the same time simply performs a RESET of the iPod. It does not put it into DFU mode. You MUST continue holding the Home button after releasing the power button in order to get it to convert to DFU mode. I think this is where most people are having trouble. Also, it may have been a coincidence of the exact time I held the Home button after releasing the power button. Try holding it for different intervals after releasing the power button (i.e. 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 secs all the way to 10 secs or even more). BE PATIENT and don't give up! Unless your iPod has a real HARDWARE PROBLEM (which if it was working fine before you tried to update it probably does not), you can ALWAYS get it into DFU mode because that part is HARDCODED in a chip in the iPod and cannot be changed or damaged.
    When I was playing with the iPod trying to get it in DFU mode, Windows would see it as a Unknown USB Device. Then sometimes it would disappear and come back as an Unknown USB device. This is a GOOD THING. That means that the iPod IS resetting as per Apple's instructions (which means the iPod DOES have some sort of life). After trying 4 or 5 times, I finally got it to disappear and reappear in DFU mode (as a simple "USB Device" because I did not have iTunes installed. After installing the latest iTunes, it installed the correct drivers automatically).
    So give it a try and post your results! Good luck!

    My friend had a 3rd gen 8GB iPod Touch
    Just for clarification so other people don't get confused and this misinformation keeps getting generated, Apple did not sell a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.
    So, your friend must have a 2nd generation iPod Touch.
    The 3rd generation was only made in the 32GB and the 64GB models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPodtouchlate2009
    The 2nd generation has A1288 stamped on the back
    The 3rd generation has A1318 stamped on the back and again, only on the 32GB and 64GB models.
    Some software is only designed for the 3rd generation and above so making sure what generation you have can be very important before you possibly buy something your iPod Touch can't use.

  • IPhoto: Synch iPod Now Opens iPhoto (after "Camera Raw Update")

    On November 5, 2008, I let software update install Apple's "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update version 2.3 (4.3MB)". Now, plugging my iPod Touch (1G) into USB port on my MacBook Pro laptop causes iPhoto to start (and eventually the expected iTunes starts as well).
    Prior to that upgrade, iPhoto did NOT start up when I plugged my iPod in. Prior to that upgrade, only iTunes started up (as expected).
    Yes, I know there's a preference setting in iPhoto to tell it not to startup when a camera is plugged in. However, I think Apple should investigate and see if they've introduced a "bug" with this update.
    By the way, I do NOT have synch of photos toggled on for the iPod. So, that doesn't explain this unexpected behavior of iPhoto starting up when the iPod is plugged into the USB port.

    I discovered that I accidentally took a picture of the iPod Touch's main screen (by doing Sleep+Home buttons at same time). This saved a picture (*.jpg?) on the iPod. Once I deleted this picture, then iPhoto stopped opening up whenever I connected the iPod to my MacBook Pro.
    Thus, my problem was pilot error.

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

    ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

    Are you restoring the iPod from a previous back or to factory settings? If you haven't restored to factory settings yet, I would do that next.  And if the problem still continues, it's most likely hardware related, in which case you'll want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to have them take a look at it.

  • My ipod randomly turned off, now I can't turn it back on....

    I have already held the power button, and the home button, and plugged it into my computer.
    Here's the thing.... I was listening to music, and then I pressed the power button to turn the screen off, well my ipod just turned off, and I cannot for anything get it to turn back on.. and it had a full battery while I was using it ( so it's not the battery either)
    The ipod touch is about 2 years old, and I have never had this happen to me before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    If resetting does not help, connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • IPod won't sync after restore - now iTunes freezes up and iPod is empty

    Two days ago my iPod started acting up - playing a song for about the first 10 seconds, then freezing up. I did the 5 R's - many, many resets, switching the USB port, reinstalling the software, and several restore attempts. The new and more pressing issue now is that, after a restore attempt, the iPod syncs to about song #50 (of about 1500) and then iTunes freezes up. Because of the restore, the iPod is now empty...no tunes...and I can't get it to sync. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I fear this is a glitch with the new update? What is the solution here?

    I am having similar problems. My ipod was working perfectly fine in the morning and then at lunch time it said i needed to "connect to computer source and restore" i didnt have a computer at the time so i waited till i got home. when i got home i let it sit on my computer charging before i did anything. i took it off when it was fully charged and went to go listen to it. i listened to one song and in the middle of the second song, the music started to flicker and skip. i just shut off, when i turned it back on again ALL THE CONTENT ON MY IPOD HAD JUST DISSAPEARED. i was so angry and ive been calling around, reading the internet site pages and trying all that i can to fix this **** of a problem but nothing works. HELP ME PLEASE!!
