My new video iPod screen turns off

It keeps turning off in the middle of whatever I'm doing. I tried setting backlight to always on, have restored and reset several times. Is this a mechanical defect or can I correct it by changing a setting? Please help!
thanks,

IPod turns off when screen turns off

When my iPod screen turns off so does the sound through the headphones. I tried updates, different headphones, reboots.
Any suggestions??
I was offered 6th generation for my 1st generation recalled nano, I regret switching now as my 1st generation was still going strong.

Hi Bricky66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're experiencing some unusual behavior with your iPod nano. I'd suggest some of the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1382
The headphones don't work
...If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes...
Best,

I was using my 3rd generation ipod touch and i turned it off and the loading screen wont turn off to allow my ipod to turn off, help!!

I was using my 3G ipod touch and i slid the power off button to turn it off and the loading screen before it shuts off wont allow my ipod to turn off. i cant do anything because my ipod has the loading screen still on it. HELP!!

Try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try shutting your iPod off again.

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.

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

[SOLVED] Screen turns off on boot at "Loading ACPI Modules"

So, I have been using arch for some time and am really liking it so far. It has replaced Windows on my desktop and am planning to install it on my laptop when I get a chance. I showed my parents some audio apps that run under Linux, and they suddenly wanted arch too! I decided to install arch on their desktop, so after migrating Windows to a larger hard drive, I installed arch onto the remaining space... Everything seemed fine until I tried to boot into the new system. Once it reaches "Loading ACPI Modules" the screen turns off and refuses to turn back on. I have tried everything I could think of (booting into the LiveCD again and running pacman -Syu on the new install, swapping the monitor to a different video port, reinstalling arch) and some solutions I found on the forums (adding acpi=off, noapic, nolapic_sound to the boot line.) The latter made the boot skip ACPI, but the the screen blanks on "Waiting for udev events to be processed"! I'm thinking it might be something to do with the video card (an old Radeon X1300 AGP) but I don't know what to do to fix it... The system doesn't lock up, as even after it blanks I can log in and push Ctrl-G to make a terminal beep! I've tried everything I can think of... If this doesn't work I'll probably try another distro on that machine. The system is:
Intel D845WN Motherboard
1GB PC133 RAM
2.2Ghz Celeron Processor
Radeon X1300 AGP card
Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card
USB 2.0 PCI Card
PCI NIC
Thanks in advance for any advice!
EDIT: Actually, I think it does lock up, as I don't have to hold down the power button to turn it off after the screen blanks.
EDIT AGAIN: Thanks, adding "radeon.setmode=0" worked like a charm! I knew that card was a bit wacky, but I didn't think it would stop the system from booting...

ok, seems it's the automatic kernel mode setting (KMS) that causes this see:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … _.28KMS.29
to get the system to boot, go into the grub menu, edit the boot option (i.e. press 'e') then edit the line that looks like
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=...
and add
radeon.modeset=0
at the end of it. Then your system should start fine. Now add this to the corresponding line in /boot/grub/menu.lst

IMac Intel Core 2 Duo Screen Turning Off

Hello! I have a 17" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2ghz Model # 5,1 and the problem is after turning the machine on, and getting logged in, the screen turns off while the backlight is still on forcing me too shut it down via holding the power button down. I cant plug in an external display because that causes the screen to turn off. Im thinking its the logic board (more specifically the video card) that needs to be replaced. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? Besides buying a new logic board? Maybe its because its running Snow Leopard and cant handle the OSX?

A good chance, but...
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

My 4th gen. IPod screen turned blue and won't connect to iTunes.

I was playing on some apps and while doing so my ipod screen turned white and then turned completely blue. I tried connecting it to iTunes and trying to restore it but it didn't work! My ipod wasn't connecting to iTunes! I have tried some different ways like trying to shut it off completely but it's not really showing anything. Does anyone have any suggestion to fix it or should I just try to get a new ipod?

IPod screen turned black but it still syncs

Hi,
starting from yesterday my ipod screen turned white at first and now is black. When I connect my ipod to my macbook, it still syncs and it looks like it's still in work. I tried to hold the sleep button and the center button together but it will just turn the ipod off. I don't know what to do.. is the lcd broken and i need to chnage into a new lcd? or my whole ipod is broken? My ipod is first generation, and used it for 4 years.. please help me..!

Try:
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It could be the display or maybe its driver circuits.

Why does my iPod classic turn off?

I've had my iPod classic for about five years now and about two months ago it started to act weird. Whenever I would press next too much I notice the battery depleting to almost the red zone, but I fully charged it that day.Before all of this happened I noticed that my iPod would always ask to be restored. Now, it seems to have gotten a lost worse. Before I could listen to my iPod classic for at least a whole day without needing a charge, but now I can't even do that anymore. I'd be lucky if I could listen to a whole album. I would love to try and buy a new iPod classic, but I'm a college student and broke so I really can't afford one. So any help would be great. Thank you!

You most likely have activated the sleep timer.
Setting the Sleep Timer
You can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow for a
specific period of time.
To set the sleep timer:
1 Choose Extras > Clock and then choose a clock.
2 Choose Sleep Timer and choose how long you want iPod to play.
When you set the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod
turns off appear in the Now Playing screen on iPod.

Black screen/turns off random bootcamp windows 7

I have a imac 27" mid 2010 and i am using windows 7 x64 ultimate on bootcamp (3.3 and later 4.0) from snow leopard to lion, i have
recently upgraded my mac with mountain lion.
But after i did upgrade to mountain lion a day later my screen in bootcamp goes black/turns off. I can sometimes hear the sounds when it happens.
The black screen/turn off, is also randomly so its not happening when i do something or opening something. So after a few black-outs i started to get fustrated and i surfed the web for solutions (Option + Alt + P + R), disconnect power cord wait 10 seconds and reconnect, install/uninstall new drivers, reinstalling windows. reinstalling mountain lion and windows but the problem is stil there.
But when using mountain lion i dont have any problems everything works fine.
I think that mountain lion has changed something to the firmware or bios of the system, or changed something to bootcamp?
I really dont know, the only thing i know is i cant use windows as i normally did, and my boss isnt happy when i dont finish my work.
I really need some answers and solutions.
Thanks

Same problem occuring for me, although Windows 7 boots fine in safe mode but when booting in regular mode after the lauch screen it goes black and turns off. Funny thing is that mountain lion didn't seem to be the problem for me instead I believe windows updated it's software for me and then it started happening. Im going to try and reformat partition reinstall windows 7.
oh BTW I'm on Macbook Pro x Retina Display.

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.
