My ipod turns off automaticly

everytime i lock my ipod and after like 10 mintues of being lock my ipod seems to automaticly turn off and i have to turn it on again to use it. Is there a solution to this by the way my ipod is broken can that be the cause or is my ipod actually programed to shut down automatically after not being active for more than 10 mins?

Ipod 30gb turns off automatically when battery is about half

Hello,
I have been testing my new ipod 30gb for a few days to see how much time I can let it play until thebattery dies. However, the last two times i did that (out of three trials)the ipod turn off automatically when the battery reached about half.
My 'hold' button was on so I could not have touched it by accident and I left the ipod on my desk and no one touched it.
Has anyone experienced this before or would anyone know what is happening?
thanks a lot,
JM

dying for a cure.
First, as I stated, the "cure" for an old battery is to buy a new one. Many people have had faulty batteries replaced for free by Apple - if the health is low (<80%) and the cycle count is <300, that's a faulty battery that is likely eligible for replacement. Personally, I had one like that replaced for free (after my one year warranty was up, but within the 2 year battery warranty extension). Second, perhaps this is happening "just recently" because the MBPs have been out for a while now, and people's batteries (just like the people themselves) are getting older. Batteries have a finite life and a finite number of charge cycles they can take before they become unreliable - that's just the basic chemistry of a Li-based rechargeable battery. Third, if you're addressing your comment to Apple, this is not the place for that - go to the appropriate Apple feedback page instead.

HT1535 I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.

I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod. Help!

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

My IPod turning on automatically

My iPod Turning on automatically during night. Could anybody help? Thanks.

You most likely have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

Plz Help, My Ipod turns on automatically!!!

My Ipod turn on automatically causing it to die, i noticed that twice, its causing my ipod to die on me. what is the problem plz help me
My ipod is 5th generation video ipod (30gb)
Windows XP

Thanks for the help. The alarm was set-up at middnight. Turning off it off has resolved the problem. I guess this brings the point why there is a need for such an alram?....The alarm did not go off with a sound to be heard, but the iPod start playing with no body hearing it (or listening) to it....So what is the point of the alarm?...Am I missing something here?....
Thanks for the help resolving my issue...

How do I turn off automatic sync?

I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.

To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Touch 2nd turns off automatically without operating

I got my ipod touch 2nd for about two month and I have always been using it without turning it off. From the time I got it this device sometimes was turning off automatically and it coudn't be turned on by pressing Power button on the top. The only way to make it active is using Power button and Home button to reset it. This problem makes me upset. Could anyone give a help? Thanks a lot!

Is your battery getting low on power? I've noticed that if my battery gets too low the screen will freeze and trying to turn it off doesn't work. As soon as I recharge the battery, everything is back to normal.

How can I turn off automatic loading of Bridge in PhotoShop CS2?

For the life of me I can not find the way to turn off automatic
startup of bridge in CS2. Please help....

Thanks for the reply. On my computer I am running PSCS2 and InDesign CS4. I went into InDesign Preferences and disabled running scripts. Then I opened PhotoShop, preferences and there was a option to uncheck, automatically start Bridge with PhotoShop. I swear I looked for this option 4 or 5 times and it was not there. Now either I am going looney or disabling the option to run scripts in CS4 did the trick. If any of you are still using CS2 would you confirm that the option is or is not there to disable bridge when starting PSCS2.
I am thankful that you guys have helped me to resolve this. I am still curious as to whether I am going looney....you guys are the best!

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?
i work with Windows,Mac& ipad..

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
On Skype for desktop (Windows, Mac) just use "Sign out" from the "Skype" menu once. This will take you back to the Skype sign in screen. Next time you sign in from there just make sure you have the "Sign me in when Skype starts" checkbox not checked.
On Skype for iPad:
Open the Skype app settings from the iOS settings menu. I think there should be an option to disable automatic sign in.

How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

How do I turn off automatic streaming of MP3 audio?

I like to download podcasts directly to my desktop so I can later transfer them to my Sansa media player. Now that I've installed Quicktime podcasts stream and play automatically in my Firefox browser window. What settings do I change to turn off automatic streaming of MP3 audio?

Well, in fact I have the same problem. And by the way, I dislike marketing tricks as proposing that you buy the pro-version of quicktime if you ever want to download mp3-files again (as a right click on the quicktime browser-player does).
I already switched off every file link and stream-related ghismo that points towards quicktime as player, in the quickime control in control panel as wel on any other place I could find.
But the only thing I acchieved is, that IE now starts downloading as soon as I go to a link to an MP3 file and after some time it says "ready".
An firefox stubbornly keeps opening the quicktime player.
I tend to disagree with IE as I can't find any file on my system, with regardless what searching technique.
Is there a way to get things back to normal without uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling my browsers (wich is useless as Itunes will prompt me to reinstall quicktime)???
