Did you:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU 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.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

please help me..
my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
help!
does this happen to any of you??

I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
Anyway, try playing a song and try again.

Ipod wont shut off or restore :(

I want to restore my Ipod, but I follow the directions and nothing is working how it should.
My ipod wont shut off (yes I've reset it)
I plug it into my computer and it goes from "do not disconnect" to "okay to disconnect" back and forth, back and forth
I opened Itunes and I don't see the "source" (my Ipod) so I can do a restore on it.
What do I do?
I tried to open the apple updater and it gives me a windows error and "needs to close" so that wont work
what the **** is wrong with this

I was able to put it in Disk Mode. When I plugged it into the computer it said "your ipod needs to be restored to be formatted with windows. would you like to open itunes to do this" or something along those lines. BUT when I click okay, itunes opens and my Ipod keeps going from "OK to Disconnect" to "Do not disconnect" over and over and I can't do anything.
The Ipod update still isn't working
what now?

Songs wont come off Ipod

I am trying to delete some albums off of my 8gb Ipod touch. I removed the albums from my library, and also from my music folder, but they still won't come off my Ipod. I recently transferred my library to my new laptop that is Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello charlie 213,
What happens if you try to reset it? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. Don't be afraid to try this more than once either. Persistence is the key here.
Otherwise, plug the iPod into some sort of external power source and let it charge for awhile and then re-attempt the procedure outlined above as many times as necessary.

Ipod wont turn off using home button only.

I got my ipod touch yesterday at the apple store, and today, it wont turn off if you hold down the home button. It shuts down if you use the power button on the top left corner, but not with the home button. Th home button works fine for everything else. Can anyone guess what the problem is?
thanks

Hello Kate,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The only way to power off the iPod is using the Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPod as you described. There is no way to turn off the iPod using the Home button.

I had a similar problem with my dad's iPod Nano, here's a way to fix it for ALL iPods:
1. Enter Settings
2. Select Main Menu
3. Switch the last option: Sleep to On
4. Select Sleep from the iPod main menu to turn it off, then (of course) put the Hold switch on Lock.

30Gb Video Ipod wont shut off

I have a 30GB Ipod video. It works fine, all features work, plays video, etc. The problem is it wont turn off using the Play button. I have reset the ipod 3 times, still nothing.
Any idea's?
Joe

I had the same problem. I ended up just letting the battery run out and then recharged it.
It was working fine, but now it freezes during songs randomly and wont respond. I switch the hold button back and forth and press menu and play till it restarts but then a little later it will freeze again. I thought that maybe restoring it would do the trick but now it will not sync. It will start loading my songs but at some point, a message box pops up saying the requested file is unavailable. After that, when I unplug my iPod, it is frozen on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, and I have to reset it. How do I get my iPod to sync?

My iPod wont shut off

Recently i cant get my ipod to turn off this is killing battery life so plz help

Just wait a couple of seconds and try again because the iPod can be busy doing something. If that doesn't work then you should reset your iPod(to reset hold menu + the center button and wait untill the Apple logo comes up).

Or if anyone knows how to reslove this problem i will greatly appreciate any help i can get.
Thank You,

Reset it.
If that does not work, restore it.
