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 ......

Hi Phone Apple and see if you can send it in for service . It sounds like it is a battery issue. When I had my first iPod with video. I had to send it in for service and since they could not fix it. they sent me a new iPod .
The support number for Apple is:
1-800-275-2273
In Canada call:
1-800-263-3394
I hope this helps,

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

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 5 wont turn on please help

Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore. I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
if anyone can help me please help.
I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

I lost my ipod today and i tried using "find my ipod" in icloud using my friend's ipod and i found out my location services was turned off. please help. i'm desperate. i paid for it and its the 5th gen. HELP.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASEEE HELP!!!!
As i said up there , i have lost my ipod touch 5th generation today. worst day ever. im 14 and i paid for it with my own money. $317!! i was so proud of myself. so i went to the mall and i put it in a bag and got home and went to the park behind my friend's house. now im not sure if i brought it with me to the park (dont think so) or it fell in my friend's room after i came home from the mall. but i seriously can not find it and im REALLY sad. i have been balling my eyes out throughout the whole day and me and my five friends including my parents and my friends mom have been looking for it. i heard something about telling the police or something and they would help?? i'm not sure about that. cause why would they wanna help a 14 year old girl find an ipod touch when theres other very important matters. Even though this is SUPER important to me, it may not be to them. ik this is all my fault. mother always said "dont leave it in your back pocket" and of course i do while i skateboard. wow. im stupid. i need to gaurd that thing with my life. its very expensive. please help. this ipod is like my life. it was logged onto instagram and facebook and a bunch of social sites. yes, i have a lock on it but cant they go to a store and say "i forgot my password" and they hack into it? i changed my instagram password and apple ID password so far. but i really need to find this ipod. tomorrow im going to the park to look for it in the grass. HOPEFULLY IT IS THERE. then im going to the apple store if i dont find it. i will go to extreme measures for this ipod. ITS THE FIFTH GEN. BLUE. its beautiful. i already broke my 4th gen ipod like 2 times. but thank you for reading all this.. i need help D:

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
There is little chance of recovering your iPod. The police will do little. It it is turned then they can contact you.

Ipod Touch Wont Turn On - Please Help

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn on at all. I have tried holding down the power and home button but that doesnt work and when i connect it to the computer it is not detected by itunes.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is appreciated

Try this before you take it to the Apple store or send it in for repairs:
1. Start iTunes
2. With your iPod disconnected, hold down the Home button
3. Continue holding down the Home button while plugging it back into your computer
4. Hold the button down until iTunes tells you it has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Follow the instructions from there.
If that doesn't do it, time to see about repairs.
