My ipod wont turn off or go to home. the triple click works though

hi

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 wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    Connect it to itunes, and see if itunes recoginizes it.
    If not, then hold home and the power button to do a soft reset.
    If not, then you will need to go into recovery mode.
    To get into recovery mode you need to Hold Power + Home at the same time. After it goes blank, continue holding the home button while releasing your finger from the Power Button.
    You should be able to do it. Otherwise, you may need to send your Ipod in for repair.
    NOTE - Using recovery on your Ipod will erase all data and reset all settings.

  • 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.

  • Ipod wont turn off in the dock

    i have an ipod connected to the apple universal dock. the ipod wont turn off after it has been charged, the screen shows that it is fully charged. how do i turn it off without removing it from the dock? i have both my ipod dock and the tv connected to the same set of speakers...the tv sound ouput is very low if the ipod doesnt turn off since both of them share the same speakers....if i remove the power to the dock, the speaker again outputs full volume from the tv. any ideas?

  • Does your IPOD not turn off properly??? Does it click with the screen off?

    Guys,
    I know there is someone bright out there,
    I have recently bought a Ipod 5g black 60gb, and the thing wont 'turn off' I believe appple call it shut down. Am i right in saying it goes to sleep, and thats it, the screen turns off, and it goes to sleep??
    The strange thing is, the clicker wheel sometimes still clicks if you rub your fing over it, (screen off) and obviously pressing any button turns it fully on.
    The two clicking noises are different, sometimes it sounds as if you are turning the volume up, and down, or other times it just sounds like you are scrolling through a music album list.
    Apple tech support, wasnt very helpful and she suggested the 5 r's well done them, and still not working, i have found a medicore solution, and that is to put the thing physically to sleep, ie have a shortcut, to sleep on the main menu, and this turns the display, can anyone confirm whether this is the same has holding down the play button?
    (would a diagnostic check pick this up)
    Obviously, i am worried about the battery, because it wont turn off. I tried testing the copacity of the battery, but i cant, as for some strange reason, i cant rip (geniuine) AAC or MP3 music at the desired, level, for some reason cant hear it at all? or it just sqeulches.
    I would be very interested in hearing from anyone experienced anything similar, or if the great person who invented this cool thing, is reading, please post a reply!!
    Thanks for your time,
    ps sorry fpr the long post!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this for more info...
    About Sleep, Deep Sleep, Hibernation, and Sleep Timer
    The iPod doesn't fully turn off for a while. (Hibernation, or even more "Off", Deep Sleep).
    When you manually turn the iPod off (or it turns itself off), it goes into sleep.
    After you turn it off, it may still make noise when you rub your finger on the clickwheel. This may occur for about a minute. You could always activate the hold switch after you turn it off.
    But it is normal for the iPod to make the clickwheel noise when you rub your finger along the clickwheel right after the iPod is turned off. It may take a minute or so to fully go into "Sleep."
    Again, everything you are experiencing is normal. Read that link for more info as well.

  • Ipod wont turn off, HELP!!!

    i have a new 60GB ipod video and i got it 3 month's ago and it wont turn off i have tried pushing down the play/pause button but it wont work, HELP PLEASE!!!!

    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.
    Must have solved your problem

  • My ipod wont turn off!! please help

    i did nothing to my ipod to make it not turn off. i was listing to it for a while and when i decided i was done using it i wanted to turn it off and it wouldnt work. i can go from one song to the next with no problem and i can pause it and all that good stuff but it just wont turn off. i tried letting it cut off by itself( put ot on pause and wait for a couple of min) but its been almost a half an hour and it still hasnt turn off. please help me!!!

    Have had the same problem for a couple of weeks. Have tried the 5 Rs and other tips found on this site. Nothing seems to work. Only thing that does work is if ipod is connected via USB and itunes is running. It can then be turned off and will remain turned off when you disconnect your ipod. But this isnt much help if you have to connect to your computer each time you want to turn your ipod off! Still waiting for a complete answer I'm afraid ......

  • Ipod wont turn off

    Was very happy with the Ipod Touch until a recent problem occurred. Appreciate any assistance. The Ipod Touch will not turn off - If I leave it for the designated 1 min till sleep occurs it continuously attempts to turn itself back on displaying the start up apple logo. If turned off completely the Ipod touch still attempts to turn itself back on. The issue then is you cannot re-start the Ipod without connecting to a computer. The system all functions normally then until again sleep (or attempted sleep) comes about. Have tried restoring settings - no luck. Remove all content and restore settings - no luck. tried restoring via I tunes hard core style - still no luck. Have latest software installed as well. Appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
    Thanks

    Took the Ipod Touch to the Apple Genius (????) If a genius is required what does that say about their software and products. Anyway - end result was the Ipod Touch does'nt turn off b/c of faulty off button. Genius!
    So replacement model is forth coming.
    Thanks for the tips and advice. Hopefully next version wont have issues.

  • Help! Ipod wont turn off

    Hi
    The sleep function on my 20 GB Click Wheel Ipod has ceased to work, I can click the white centre button on the sleep option and it makes a "clicking sound", but nothing happens
    The ipod goes to sleep when paused by itself but it I then try and flick the hold switch when its in sleep mode it turns the ipod back on
    Anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    Thanks

    First what do you mean it won't turn off? DOes the screen stay on or what?
    To turn off an iPod or put in in "Sleep" mode in other words, you just hold down the play/pause button til the screen goes off

  • Ipod wont turn off((any suggestions))

    my ipod nano will not turn off no matter how long i hold the button.i will only turn off if i set the sleep time.can somebody help please???
    thanx =]

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold menu and center buttons together for 7 seconds. Do this a few times)
    Does it now work after resetting? Also, whenever you are having difficulties with your iPod responding to button-pressing, put your iPod down on a flat hard surface (like a desk), then click your button(S). See if it works.
    Go to "Settings> Main Menu" and turn the Sleep button "on". Go back to your back the main menu again, and see if the "Sleep" button will work if you click it. If it does, that's your temporary fix.
    I hope those things will help you!

  • HT201210 my ipod wont turn on unless its plugged into the charger?

    my ipod touch wont turn on unless plugged into charger what should i do?

    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem (very likely), make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.

  • My iPhone died and wont turn back on. My home button doesn't work to reboot it.

    It died last night and I put it on the charger and nothing happens not even the battery symbol comes up. I do have the iOS 7. I can't restart it because my home button doesn't work and i have to use assistive touch. It won't show up on itunes when i tried to plug it in. It's not the charger because it works on my other i-devices. I have an iphone 4.

    If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
    If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
