My ipod touch shuts off during music for no reason

My ipod touch started shutting off in the middle of songs this morning - its fully charged and had been working fine up to this point. I shut it down and restarted it but that did not solve the problem - any suggestions?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try another USB cord? Can you charge your device, using the adapter?

  • Ipod Touch Shuts off During Sync

    This has been an ongoing problem with my itouch. Any time I try to charge/sync my ipod it shuts off after a minute or so. With the little charge that i can get, my itouch will stay on as long as it isnt plugged in. I have restored the ipod multiple times and went through some of the troubleshooting provided by apple. Nothing is working. Any Suggestions?

    my ipod touch shut off and now it wont turn back on, how do i fix that?

    Hey lattifahfromny,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may assist you:

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

    My ipod touch 3rd generation shut off when the battery died.  When i tried to charge it but it would not charge and it wasn't recognized by my laptop. This happened once before and it charged after sitting for a day. So I tried it again but it didn't work. I don't know if it is still covered, I got it last july as a replacement for one that broke. Help!! Please!!

    - 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.

  • IPod Touch shuts off after being locked 4 a while

    Hello, My iPod touch 4th generation will shut off after being locked. Sometimes when I lock it for 3 minutes it'll shut off I will click the sleep/wake button or home button and it'll do nothing, So I have to reset it by holding sleep/wake button for 30 seconds or something. One time I set a alarm for 3 minutes and it went off and it showed on the iPod's screen and froze! What I did was: settings, general, auto-lock and put to never because if I'll let it lock for more than 3 or 5 minutes it'll shut off. Any one know a reason this might be happening?
    Thanks for reading

    Try:
    - 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.

  • IPod Touch shuts down then asks for password on restart.

    Hi
    My girlfriend was playing with my iPod Touch 2nd Gen (she was playing 'TheLogosQuiz'). She said that it shut off because of low battery. I held the power button and it turned on (which doesnt sound right, if it shuts down due to low battery I thought that once it shut down, holding the power button gave the low battery icon), but when it loaded, it asked me for a password.
    THERE WAS NOT A PASSWORD BEFORE!
    I am locked out of my own iPod. I bought it brand new at a trusted retailer in late 2009.
    It seems as though it just generated a password itself, and i dont know it.
    What should i do???
    Thanks

    If it's asking you for a passcode you do not know (whether or you set it up or now), the only way to bypass it ist to connect the device to your iTunes library and restore it.  If necessary place the iPod in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • IPod Touch goes off during reset/restore HELP!

    My daughter iPod Touch is having issues. We've had to restore it once, and reload all the music, apps, etc. It was working fine then all of a sudden it is not working again. When we turn it on the Apple icon appears then it shows connect to iTunes, I plug it up to my computer and the software comes up saying it has detected an iPod that is in recovery mode, you must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. We go thru the restore/update process following the instructions it seems to be working fine then the screen on the iPod blinks off then comes back with the Apple icon. The computer screen then says "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9). I googled the error message and the explaination was that it lost connection thru the USB so I tried plugging it in every USB port I have available and it still isn't working. Has anyone experienced the iPod just blinking on and off like this, could it be a bad cord?

    I do not know what you mean by "convert all the music that is on there to itunes". You can place/identify music on the computer and it may automatically find music on your computer. However, since it is a different computer, connecting the iPod to a different computer will result in the contents on the iPod being erased and replaced with that in the iTunes library the new computer. But yo have nothing really to lose.

  • When I tried to unlock my iPod touch which has a passcode, for some reason the passcode I put didn't work and it said 'iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes.' . And when I did, they said due to my passcode, I couldn't connect to iTunes. What do i do?

         When I tried to unlock my iPod touch which has a passcode lock, it said my iPod is disabled and I needed to connect to iTunes.So when I connected my iPod to my PC, it said that I couldn't connect to my iPod because it has a passcode lock. What do I do now?

    omg the sixth time i did it it worked jeeej
    thank you very much guys <3 xD

  • Hello everyone. I bought my iPad 2 in Novermber, 2011. Recently it started shutting off by itself for no reason. It gets annoying because it happens while I'm using it and it starts happening more often. Does anyone know what to do about it?

    Has anyone experienced problems with iPad 2 shutting off by itself? I have mine only since November 2011 and it keeps happening, recently more often. It also takes longer time to turn back on. It's annoying because it happens of course while in use. Help! Please.
    D.

    Thanks, but it doesn't make a difference. I've tried. It just turns off in the middle of my reading or searching the web. On the beginning, it happened only once or twice but recently it happens at least once a week. I don't know if it's a warranty issue or if maybe there is simple solution to my problem...

  • My Iphone 5c keeps shutting off my itself for no reason,and it will not turn on for awhile, then it'll just turn on by itself.

    It'll be just sitting on the table & it'll just turn off and it takes like 5 minutes to turn it back on. Sometimes the screen will freeze and lines will come on the screen and the screen will go purple, and it'll just turn off. What should I do? Go get it looked at? Does it sound like water damage or something? I just got it like a week ago. It hasn't been dropped or anything. Shouldn't be no water damage.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up... if that doesn't work try it with the phone charge to the wall outlet.

  • My ipod randomly shut off and wont turn back on

    My ipod touch shut off last night while i was charging it and it wont turn back on

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.
