My iPod shuffle will no longer turn on with switch.

My ipod shuffle 3rd generation, will no longer activate by the off on swotch.  I have to plus into electrical outlet to get it to turn on to select what I want to hear.  It no longer turns off after playing selection it continues to play until battery wears down.  Seems the switch is flat, and can't be raised to be activated.

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

  • My iPod touch will no longer turn on.

    I was using it and it was fully charged. I set it down and went to do something else. When I came back and tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't turn on. It won't connect to my computer or anything. If I plug it in, it will not charge either.

    Try a Reset ... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • My ipod touch will no longer turn on!  help!

    I have followed every possible steps apple has suggested to reset and restore my ipod.  It started with forgetting my passcode and being disabled.  So i connected it to itunes as it suggested.  I updated, restored, and it went in to recovery mode, and thats the last i had seen my ipod on.  Now when it does turn on, it gives me the icon to "plug it in".  nothing more.  ive turned it off, turned it on, updated the software, reconnected it, changed security settings, you name it, an at first it no didnt recognise my ipod?
    it just simply remains inoperable. someone please help, tell me there is hope and i understand if i have to lose my music, i can always start over.   my concern is why im repeating steps 1-5 over and over?  it just doesnt even turn off correctly.  Itunes continued to give me the option to restore it, and i went to the password help section, and to no avail.  Itunes now no longer even "pops up" as it reads to hold down the "home" button, as it was one of the many steps it suggested.
    Im dying here, I dont understand how plain english, step by step directions, are no longer working.  my ipod doesnt even indicate the battery is charging when plugged in. 
    has the life of my ipod no longer exist with this software? is that a possibility?  its and oldie, but goodie, when ipods first came out. 
    thanks in advance for any one who can master this problem for me.  i dont have the money to get some tech over the phone to provide the same steps, i have already exhausted on my end.

  • Ipod touch will no longer turn on or charge.

    Hi there, I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
    I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
    I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
    So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
    It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
    Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
    PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
    I have itunes 9.1
    Running windows 7 rc
    I have tried my ipod also on the following:
    My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
    Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Malcom

    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but a few miles from where i live is a shop called Cancom, that sells apple hardware. They are authorized service provider.
    Do you think they will accept my ipod touch in for repairs/replacement?

  • WiFi will no longer turns on with lollipop 5.0 (galaxy S5)

    Since I made the unfortunate decision to upgrade to lollipop 5.0, my WiFi doesn't seem to want to enable.  I hit the switch and it acts like it's going to turn on but just goes back to off.  I've turn my phone off and then back on, removed the battery, and taken off an app that automates certain functions. Nothing seems to work.  Does anyone have a suggestion.

    Backup and reset in settings and choose reset settings

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

    I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

    My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

    first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
    second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

  • Ipod shuffle will turn on. then it turns back off and will not work. it charges but will not play any music?

    My ipod shuffle will not work. it turns on briefly then turns off and i cannot hear anything. my earbuds work, it holds a charge, but no sound?

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - 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: How to back up                                                                
    - 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. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.
