My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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 Classic will not shut off

Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change

Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off. Then activate the hold switch.

My ipod touch will not turn off and the battery (charged to 100% with trickle charge) is discharging on it's own. Any advice please?

My Ipod touch has not turned off for some time. I reset it. Now, as well, the battery which is charged to 100% and finished with a trickle charge is discharging completely overnight when not in use. Help please, I use this all the time

might want to consider posting in the proper forum. This is the iPhone forum.

I've tried EVERYTHING. iPod still will NOT shut off...

My iPod has refused to shut off for over a week now. First I went through all the usual steps (resetting dozens of times) and I still could not get it to turn off by pressing play/pause. I then restored my iPod and the thing will still not shut off.
Oddly enough it will turn off if it is being charged, but if it is not, it will remain on. Even the SLEEP button does not work!
I haven't the slightest idea what to do now. Any and all help is greatly appreciated
60gb iPod photo Windows XP

Had a similar problem. holding play/pause didnt turn mine off.. (also 60GB iPod Photo). But mine did turn off if I disconnected the headphones while its on hold to make it pause and then then automatically switched itself off after a couple of minites of not being used. If this is a bad batch watch out... i've just had a hard-disk failure. see

My ipod touch will not power off

After I updated the version of iTunes, I cannot power off the iPod touch (4th gen). I manually reset it (through the settings/general/reset). It will NOT allow me to reset by holding power and bottom button. When I hold those two simultaneously, it turns on voice control.

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch will not come off applelogo

help my 3rd gen ipod touch is stuck on the apple symbol. It does not respond to anything and i cannot connect it to my computer (it does not show up), I also cannot switch it on or off. It has been like this for 24 hours

- Have your tried a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And then see if iTunes will see it so you can restore the iPOd?
- Next, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore.

My 4th generation ipod touch will not power off and the volume buttons do not work, any suggestions?

My ipod's power off and volume buttons are not working. It's as if the volume down button is constantly being pressed. Both buttons "work" as far as I can press them in, but there is no response from the ipod. Any suggestions? I have updated the software, but that did not help.
Thank you!

I have the exact same problem!!
please let me know if you have found a fix / soution
email me at [email protected] or just reply, any help would be great
thanks.

My iPod nano will not shut off.

I was setting up for a photo slideshow, and the music started playing, but the picture didn't show up. The music eventually ended, but now nothing shows up on my screen, while the backlight remains on. I went to iTunes, and it said that my iPod is corrupted. I tried to restore it, but it then froze up and I had to end iTunes through task manager. (I use Windows by the way.) Now it won't read my iPod when I plug it up. I'm stuck here staring at my brand new iPod thinking i'm screwed. Does anyone know what I can do?

i dont know about the rest but i had the same problem getting my computer to recognize my ipod. you can try going to add and remove programs in control panel, select itunes and click change. some stuff will pop up but eventually it will ask you if you want to repair or delete. click repair and the next time you plug in your ipod it should be recognized.

Ipod touch 2nd generation (works fine), but will not shut off

my ipod touch 2nd gneration works fine, but it will not shut off. This use to work: I would hold down both top and face button for about 10 seconds and it would shut down. Now nothing happens no matter how long I hold those 2 buttons down. Any suggestions?

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.

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.
