My ipod shut off randomly... any help??

someone please help meee. my ipod shut off completely randomly & i cannot get it to turn back on! i have tried pressing & holding every button... nothing works. if anyone has had this happen to them & knows what to do, PLEASE HELP ME!

So you have tried a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once as well as hold these two buttons together for up to a minute.
Otherwise, see the article for information and assistance.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the iPOd:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why is my ipod shutting off randomly?

    i dont get why... i dropped it a while ago and it cracked but it just started to shut off randomly

    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.

  • Satellite A505D Randomly Shuts off...help please

    hi, i recently baught a Toshiba satellite A505D....recently it has started shutting off randomly...the screen will go black and briefly display a blue screen that says that it is shutting off to protect something in the computer...does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix the problem? thank you, any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
         It would be very helpful if you can give the exact error message that the computer will give before it will shutdown. Anyways, things like this can also happen if the Operating System is being corrupted or the Hard Drive is not working properly. Try to let the computer run in safe mode for a couple of minutes and observe if the same thing will happen.
    Press F2 upon starting up the computer. In the Advanced Boot Options page, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit Enter key.
    Hope this will help...:-)

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

    My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
    Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
    The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

  • Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • Macbook pro 13" 2012 shut off randomly and won't turn on

    The only applications that were open were safari (I was watching hulu) and iTunes. The laptop randomly shut off without any warning. It was in the charger and was around 60-70% power. After it shut down the light that was on the charger turned to a faint orange blinking light and now is a faint green blinking light. This is the first time this has happened. I can't get the power to come back on. Need help asap!

    Try resetting the SMC
    Desktop Macs
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • FIOS SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY

    Fios was installed no more than two days ago and it has been shutting off randomly.  Nearly every time it has happened I have been watching something on demand.  One time, I was watching something while I was also DVRing it, and it shut off again.  Sometimes I hear a definite click and the box appears to reboot, and other times, the image/sound just goes out.  I have unplugged/reset the TV and box (a new cisco box) multiple times to no avail.  Any suggestions?  I am at a loss and frankly, quite disappointed.  

    Is there anything sitting directly on the box? If the box gets too hot, it will reset itself to cool it down. It should have 2 inches on the top and sides for adequate ventilation.

  • IdeaCentre a730 shuts off randomly/overheats

    IdeaCentre a730 shuts off randomly, especially when you play a dvd or do other graphics intensive stuff. I ran the Lenovo fan diagnostic utility and it doesn't detect any fan. I also ran speedfan, it doesn't show any fans either, but it does show the temps of the cpu cores. I've never seen them get below 100F. If you're not doing anything, they will stay around 115F-140F ish. The fan is on. When I use handbrake (which converts between video codecs) the fan kicks into gear and speeds way up. So, the fan does blow. Also, I tried one of those laptop cooling pads (with 3 fans). It seems to run about 5 degrees cooler, but I still get the random shutdowns. I also tried running it without the cover, and that will drop the temp about 5 degrees (on average) also. So, What temps should this thing be running at? Does running the Lenovo fan diagnostic (and having it not find a fan) mean the fan isn't working? Even though the fan blows? How do I get a new fan? Or, is it something else...? Lastly, I couldn't find anything in the BIOS regarding fan settings?  Thanks. 

    Hi Mezzi
    Yes, the clogged cooling ventilators and bad air circulation could cause such high temperature and could lead to the point where the notebook would shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
    You should also know that all internal devices would run with best performance while playing a game and due to high heat dissipation the temperature would arise to a critical level.
    Therefore it's really important to ensure that the cooling grilles are free and not clogged by any dust and other objects...
    Anyway, you said that your warranty is still valid and therefore I would strongly recommend contacting the ASP guys (authorized service partner) in your country and to explain your notebook issue.
    I'm sure the technician could help you!
    Good luck and best regards mate.

  • HT1551 Apple TV shuts off randomly

    Having troubles with the newest AppleTV - randomly shuts off. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

    Thanks Rudegar.  To be honest i kind of dismissed your reply at first because this seems to be a common problem that goes way beyond the power issue. I tried the optical audio solution etc and turned a Setting called anynet off on my tv in hopes that would solve the issue.... None of it made sense though.  I could think of no way that the tv could cut power to certain devices connected to my receiver and not others.... So i read your response again, and looked at the surge protector im using and low and behold the apple tv was plugged into a grouping of " greenpower" outlets.  As soon as i plugged the apple tv into another outlet and saw the blinking light even though the tv was off i knew that had fixed it.... A little more testing and i dont even need to use the optical cable.  The hdmi works fine.  In short, Thanks!!!!!
    That was driving me crazy!
