My iPod touch turns itself off automatically

I got my iPod touch 2G 16GB this Monday and it reacts strangely when it plays music or video using the speaker, it turns itself off automatically. Is it because of the low battery? Or anything else?

it might be because of the battery, or it could just be that it is putting itself in "sleep" mode, if that is what has happened it will "wake" when you push the hold or the home button. but im not sure this is just a guess. what happens when you push one of the buttons after it has shut down? does it continue to play the music once it has turned off?

My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly

My iPod Touch turns itself off randomly. I will be doing something, and it turns off. It gets so bad that it turns off right after I slide to unlock it. Sometimes it flickers off and on as well. It works fine when plugged in to a power source. I haaven't done anything traumatic to it either. It just randomly started. Has this happened to anyone? If so, did you fix it? If you did, How? Please tell me, I'm at the eand of my rope with this.

Depending on the usage and age of the device it could be the battery.
To make sure it is not software related, reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back gain. You will not lose data doing a reset.
Next step after that would be setting it up "as new device" without using the latest backup: How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

Ipod constantly turns itself off and requires a restart

I have a 1st generation Ipod Touch 16GB and recently it has begun turning itself off when i'm doing something such as listening to music or using an app and when i turn it back on the Apple logo appears for 2-3 minutes and then the date and time is reset to 1st January 2000 00:00am. I have had it less than a year so it's still under warranty but i don't have the receipt. Any tips on how to fix it are much appreciated.

If that's the case, I'd say call Apple for help processing a return. Can you find a credit card transaction showing the purchase? I get emails from the Apple store when I buy my iPods. I get a receipt at the store, PLUS I have them email me a copy. Good luck

My ipod keeps turning itself off, it syncs and charges fine. does anyone know what i can do?

i brought a second hand ipod, i would told it was fully functional. however, sometimes it likes to turn itself off halfway through songs.
it syncs to my mac fine and the battery can last upto a few days.
does anybody please have any advice? thanks.

Have you restored it in iTunes yet? If the issue is software related then a restore will resolve your issue, since it will remove all data and system software and reinstall the system software.

PowerBook G4 turns itself off automatically

I found a PowerBook G4 in my closet, so I turned it on and was using it just fine, and then without warning it turned itself off. When I boot it up I can hear an internal fan running, and it keeps running the entire time the computer is turned on. I'm not sure which OS it's running. Do I need to replace the fan, or is it something worse?

I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro. What I found out is that your battery needs to be charged above 20%. Plug your computer in, let it charge for half and hour, and try turning it on again.

IPod touch turns itself on

Hey, I've recently got my iPod touch from a good friend.
It's the oldest generation one.
She said when she had it, it did not do this.
But for me when I turn it off, it turns back on straight away, therefore when I go to sleep it has a full battery. When I wake up the battery is dead.
I'm definitely turning it off right.
Please help!

You could always take it to an Apple store, granted they will charge you, being that the iPod is out of warranty.
I guess you can't really buy things off of your "good friends."
The only other solution I could think of was to replace the button.
Has the iPod ever gotten wet, as far as you know?

My Ipod 4g turns itself off randomly VERY frequently (10x a day).

However, I think this product is related to movement, as it does not switch off when it is on my desk, but does while in my pocket. Apple Store will not replace it (in warranty), they think it is battery-related when it obviously isn't.

*I think this problem
Additional details: Also, are the Apple Store obliged to change my ipod with this type of error? I did not cause any particular damage to it that I know of, so it isn't user-related.

8GB iPod touch Atutomatically Shuts off?

Does the 8GB iPod touch turn itself off after not being used for a long period of time? Just bought one for my mother and it seems to shut off over night when left attached to the PC, never had this happen with any other iPod i've owned including my iPhone.

If your computer is turned off or in sleep mode your battery may drain when your ipod is connected.

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 turns off, doesn't respond...

My iPod Touch will randomly turn itself off and I have to restart it, it takes about 10 minutes to restart and work again. This CONVENIENTLY started RIGHT after my warranty ran out. Any answers or anyone have the same problem?

Welcome to the discussions,
restore your ipod "as new ipod" and don't use the backup to copy your data back. Make sure to transfer your purchases before you start.

After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
If not, the power button stuck down.

Set date and time automatically keeping turning itself off?

Every time I go to the App Store I get a pop-up stating that it can't connect and that this may be caused by an incorrect date and time setting. I go to Settings and discover that "Set Automatically" has somehow turned itself off. I can turn it back on and then access the App Store. Until the next time. When the whole problem starts over. Why won't it stay on Set Automatically? Thanks.

Try this first. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, you can reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. That will turn all of the settings back to factory defaults and you will have to enter them again. You will not lose any data.
You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. The backup contains the device settings and that just might work. It worked for me when I was experiencing the very same problem that you are having.
