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

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 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.

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.

IPad bluetooth with iOS7 turns itself off randomly

I have an iPad 2. I recently downloaded iOS7. I use a Logitech bluetooth keyboard. I want my bluetooth to stay on constantly. Twice now the bluetooth turned itself off for no apparent reason. Each time I've turned it back on. As of right now, it is still on.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know a fix?

Hi Ann5408!
I have an article here for you that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue with your Bluetooth connections:

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?

PC turns itself off randomly and immediately.

Hello people.
It turns out that for about a month my PC with ArchLinux is filing a bug that is making me get gray hairs as I can not find the exact cause of it.
The Problem:
The drawback is that the PC presented off immediately and when I'm on ArchLinux random. the PC is turned off as if it was the light, ie a second can be turned on and working smoothly, and the next second you can be off without making any noise from the fans. The only indication that I get to know the PC is turned off so abruptly this is that the green LED bulb possessing all PC to indicate they are on, flashing stays about 2 seconds on and about 4 or 5 seconds off ....
Suspicions:
- At first I thought it might be the temperature, but simply looking at the monitoring applet I have in my Xfce noticed that the temperature inside the machine is a few cool 20 degrees and the processor to a fresh 31 degrees ... The highest temperature at which the processor has been a 100% usage was about 48-50 degrees.
- Discarded temperature fault I started to analyze the source of power, buy a power supply tester and my surprise was that my source Termaltake is working to perfection, their voltages delivered successfully in all the connectors used and free. in fact re-order the cables and evenly distributed devices connected to the source.
- Ruled out the source and the temperature began to suspect the RAM, but again and after several tests for my sospresa was executed memories that my two modules Kingston 512Mb DDR400 PC 3200 c / u are operating smoothly.
- Again I set out to find someone to blame for annoying the PC off and here I focus on the two hard drives in the PC and all your partitions, I made bad sectors analysis and other analyzes for hard and everyone tells me so same: "There were no bad sectors" and "His records are in good condition."
- Finally and not finding a possible cause of time for me to focus on hardware software, ArchLinux. as this is a fresh install (from the first days of February) I have systemd from the first start, so I started to look for errors in the logs showing journalctl. I have found in many things .... many which can not be causing the upset potential shutdown and what simple mistakes that have nothing to do with my problem. This is why we attach a full log Journalctl since I started the PC until it happens one of these annoying off:
http://pastebin.com/Q4SVRn5t
In this log highlights an issue with pulseaudio, an alert of private drivers Nvidia graphics, a message from systemd-TMPFILES among others ... As noted in the log .... this outburst reflected in it did not last more than 20 minutes: evil:
At other times I have had problems similar to this ... curious about a year ago with ArchLinux laptop randomly froze and turned off on other occasions (at this time if the process was done closed system) ... but that was on a laptop and not a PC ... regarding the laptop freezes note that was due to demanding settings performed on ATI Radeon drivers, the Catalyst administration panel.
On another occasion a year ago a similar problem also tube but this time on the PC where I presented the reported fault, then what happened was that when commanded to turn off the PC also with ArchLinux, this closed system and completely turned off, but after about 10 or 15 seconds and turn on again fully automatically. : Shock:
Note that this only happened to me in ArchLinux, one of the hard drives I have a partition with Windows XP and the same maximum I can claim to the PC with some games and this does not go off as with ArchLinux.
Anyone else happened something similar? Can you help me interpret what I try to say journalctl? Are there any other log files or system that can run some command to try to obtain more evidence of what may be causing these automatic shutdowns and random?
Greetings and thanks in advance.

Well apparently the problem is my PC ... component knows exactly who ... I say this because a few hours ago was installing Ubuntu on an external hard drive to rule definitively be the ArchLinux and in the process of installing the PC was shut down. Yesterday I did the same just as I was starting the PC from a LiveUSB also with Ubuntu.

My Sony z keep turning itself off randomly

Did you expose it to water recently?Do you get any messages to appear before it shuts down?Did you try and check if this also happens in Safe Mode?

Now this is where it gets super weird....... The small pin on the micro USB port which connects to the charger broke on my phone. I had gone to the Authorized Service Center of Sony and they simply refused to touch my phone stating that since its a Z series phone which is water and dust resistant, the company does not allow them to touch those phones. Spoke on their online customer support who echoes the same thing and suggested me to send the phone to the company itself via the service center. He told me if I decide to do that, i have to pay a handling charge irrespective of whether my phone gets repaired or not. So i decided to find another solution. I got myself a Sony Dock Charger for Xperia Z which was specifically launched for users like me whose pins have broken. Now that Dock charger does not connect to my laptop no matter what I do. As in my laptop doesn't recognize the phone when its connected. So, PC companion is also not possible for me.

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.

IPhone won't stop trying to turn itself off

My iPhone has been acting very strange recently. Try's to turn itself off randomly, well fade in and out real fast so I don't go on it for the time being. And if I touch my lock button once it will automatically try to turn itself off again. How do I get rid of this

1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Restore using iTunes, also restoring a backup
3. Restore as new, without using a backup
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
4. If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

My iPhone 3GS just turns itself off for no reason

My iPhone turns itself off randomly for no reason. It only turns back on once I start charging it again. It will turn itself off sometimes if the battery is quite full or quite low so there isn't a set pattern as to when it happens. Its quite annoying if im not at home as I cant get in touch with anyone then.
I think I need a new battery but does anyone know any different? Has anyone else had the same problem at all?
Cheers!

Try resetting it by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

IPhone Turning Itself Off - Failing to Wake Up

My iPhone 3G has been turning itself off/failing to wake up for a couple of months now. I've tried restoring it and deleting iTunes and then reinstalling. Apple support tried and couldn't fix and said it was an iTunes issue. Their suggestions didn't fix anything and I'm getting really frustrated. I have found several forums on other sites in which lots of people are having this same issue. iPhone is not jailbroken, hasn't been abused, etc. I've turned off push notifications b/c one forum said this would decrease the problem. My phone turns itself off randomly when in sleep mode for no apparent reason. I can do a hard reset and it will come back on after several seconds, but phone calls and texts have been missed. Sometimes they don't show up for several more minutes after the phone is turned back on. This didn't start until around when I updated my software a couple of months ago. Maybe OS3.1? Help, help, help!!!

IPod Touch Turns Off Randomly. Please Help!

     I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about 34 days ago. In the past 2 or 3 days my iPod has been shutting off randomly. I would be using an app, and it would be unresponsive, and turn a blue vertical lines on the top of the screen. I then have to use the sleep/wake button and the home button to turn my iPod back again. I bought it at Walmart because there is no local Apple store near me. It sometimes gets hot and I have turned off location services to make it cool down a little bit. I can trust Apple products usually, but this is out of the normal for me. Please help!       Thank You very much in advance.

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.
