Ipod takes a while to turn off

When I'm listening to my music, and then I exit my playist and go back to the main menu, and I try to turn it off, I have to hold the play/pause button about 5 or 6 times. How can I make it so I only have to turn off my ipod once.

Hi Chibi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
So its turning off, and then turning back on? Do you put use the hold switch after you turn it off? You can find more information about the Hold Switch in Knowledge Base Document #60951.
I hope that helps,

HT201412 My iPod Touch 4th Gen keeps shutting off (like it's dying) and turns white and looks frozen...then an apple logo appears and takes a while to come back on. This only happens when I try to edit photos (cropping, especially)? Help me pleaseee!

When this happened the first time, I seriously thought it wouldn't come back on. I was trying to crop something out of the of a photo and it shut off like it was dying (it was fully charged) and then froze, turned white, then an apple logo appeared. Once it turned on i went back to do what i was doing and it did it again. The next time it turned on, I went to play Design this Home, and it didnt shut off..so my only reasoning is that this happens when i edit a photo...i haven't done anything abnormal with my iPod and don't understand why this is happening...please please help!

That is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1. The iPod "crashes" when editing photos. Just do not edit photos and wait for the next update. Most users have said it crashes when editing screen shots.

Ipod will start-up then shut off

Hi - need your help before vacation on a long holiday weekend. As of yesterday, my video ipod was working great. Now, when I turn it on or plug it in, it continually tries to turn on by showing the Apple logo then shuts off and keeps doing this. It will not play nor will recognize that it is plugged into the computer or wall. I am using different cords and also went through the 5 "R"s...would love some insight or tricks to make it work.
Thanks a million!

Hi, is the battery fully charged?
If you have already followed the 5rs without success it could be probably a HD issue... I suggest to go to your local Apple Store and ask for support, they can help you if the iPod is under warranty
Bye

Why does my ipod touch 5th generation completely shuts off even when its charged and then doesnt turn back on?

This is very frustrating. Like three months ago my ipod touch, 5th generation, just turns off out of no where. It will be charged and working fine but then the screen goes completely black and I can't turn it on. But then after like a day or so it turns back on and works until it decides to shut off again. And the cycle repeats. I'm scared its going to break for good.

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.
- 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 reoccurs, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Plug ipod in and it keeps shutting off

I dont understand I plugged my ipod into my laptop to charge it because it's dying. Everytime I plug it in my it completely shuts off then tries to restart and doesnt until I unplug it Any help?!

With the information provided, I can only guess. My guess is hardware problems, either bad motherboard or RAM.
You tried running the Apple Hardware Test from the install DVD for you Mac.

The other day, i was using my iphone 3gs 32gb to take pictures, thenit just shut off, the battery wa around 70-80%. Now it shuts down randomly as long as the screen is unlocked, there will be a chance it will shut off. I have tried draining and charging,

Hi everyone,
I was playing games on my 3gs the other day and then it shut off randomly and the screen slowly faded away the battery was at about 70%
now it will just turn off randomly without warning unless plug into a power source and wont turn on after shutting off unless plugged in
I have tried restoring it, putting it in a dehumidifier and also charging overnight
I have tried to drain the battery but it wont work because it will shut down whilst i am draining the battery
One time today i turned it off and left it for a few hours, the battery was 89% but when i turned it back on a few hours late it showed the plug into power sign
It charged to about 33% and then a few mins later it went up to 100%
Could this be a battey percentage sensor problem?
It anyone has an idea of what might be going on please tell me, it would be greatly apreciated
Also: i am on ios 5.1.1 and NOT jailbroken
Thanks
Kelby

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

What do i do?, my ipod got really hot and shut off and now i cant get it to come back on what do i do?

HT1339 My Ipod causes my PC to shut off completely...any help? I was trying to restore it because it erased all my content when i tried to add a few new albums...Now it shuts off my computer minutes after I connect.

When I plug in my IPOD, Windows crashes and my computer reboots...
Before I got to this point, I unsuccessfully attempted to restore my IPOD a couple of times and tried to reload my music but to no avail.

Hello there khary9,
I have an article that talks about troubleshooting USB ports that may be helpful in this situation. Named iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286.
Once you determine that your computer has a USB 2.0 connection, use the following steps to troubleshoot the connection between the device and the computer. Test after each step:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the device from the dock and connect it to the computer using only the Apple USB to Dock Connector cable.If you have access to additional Apple USB to Dock Connector cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
Another article describes what to do if you are using Windows and see an unknown error containing "0xE" when connecting your device.
If the issue persists and you are using virtualization software to run another operating system alongside Mac OS X, quit that software; it may create virtual USB ports that may be causing the issue. Or you can try to control or restrict access to USB ports while running the virtualization software.
Cheers,
Sterling

IPod takes screenshot while only pressing one button

Hey Guys
About 2 weeks ago the power button on my iPod touch 4g broke. I went to the apple store and got a new iPod. It works fine, except for one pretty annoying error.
It randomly starts taking screenshots when pressing either the Power- OR the Home-button, NOT BOTH. This means that I cant turn the iPod off cause it takes a screenshot and I also cant go to the home screen because pressing the Home button also takes a screenshot.
Does someone else knows this problem and knows how wo fix it? Any help is appreciated.

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. A replacement iPod comes with a 90 warranty or the remainder of the original warranty,, whichever is greater.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.
