Nano won't power down

My nano will not turn off? Does anyone know how to make it happen? Thanks

I'm sure he already knows this. If it is still not working, try holding down the Menu and Select keys together. I know that this has happened on mine before, but holding down these two keys together have fixed the problems.

  • My nano won't power down without starting itunes

    Hey Group,
    My new nano 6th gen lights up and says it is connected and then remains on the entire time my computer is on. Only after I start itunes will it then go to sleep mode. The thing I don't like is that I don't start itunes every time I start my computer and if I don't the nano screen is always on. Any clues?

    Have you tried any of the 5 recommend troubleshooting steps to see if that resolves the issue?

    If nothing, there could be a hardware malfunction with the iPod's scroll wheel.

  • My iPod won't power down?

    Hello
    I have an iPod Nano that I keep on a radio/alarm clock thing. Sometimes when I take it off it won't power down. Does anyone know how I can get it to power down?

    SOmetimes you just have to wait a few seconds after pausing it and/or removing it from the dock before shutting it down. This is normal. If it still won't shut down after ten seconds or so, you might try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it - then see if it'll shut down.
    Cheers!

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

    I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder

  • My iphone won't power down and stays on all the time.  I have rebooted but it still wont power down. any solutions?

    My iphone stays on all the time and won't power down.  I have tried rebooting but it still won't power down. any suggestions?

    i mean that after i use my phone it won't go to a black screen after a few minutes...i guess maybe its called to 'sleep' but the screen stays bright...the light doesnt dim.

  • Ipod won't power down

    I can't get my ipod to power down. It's constantly staying on, draining the battery. It won't power down automatically or manually by holding down play/pause.

    I found another question and answer about the same issue, and was able to correct the problem.

  • 1st gen 4GB nano won't power up with USB

    My new-to-me old Nano doesn't work on battery power, even after new battery installed, but powers up and plays when docked onto speaker. No big deal, and merely mentioned as a possibly related symptom...main issue is that it won't power up using USB cable to PC. My other nano works fine with the same cable. The bad one gives an Apple logo, then backlighting flashes on for a mere fraction of a second and then it shuts down. Then about three seconds later it all repeats again. There's only 25 songs on this 4GB model. I could care less about this problem if only my music was already loaded onto it. It cost me $15 on ebay and $5 for a battery, so $20 into a useless unit bites. $30 could have gotten me a good working one...hopefully this can be revived for cheap?

    Well, I tried to other things... I turned off the backlighting to see if less current draw would help. It didn't. Also, the backlighting option gets deleted off the main screen menu after it dies/reboots.
    I also tried connecting to PC with the ipod screen ribbon cable disconnected just for kicks...still a no-go.
    I just want to load it up with songs...sigh.

  • Nano won't power on, but shows up in My Computer and iTunes

    I recently replaced the screen in my Nano and for about a day it worked fine. Then I opened it back up to clean off a smudge and now it's slightly less than functional.
    First off before anyone asks, I use a PC, not a Mac. I run Windows XP Home Edition. And my iTunes version is 6.0.4.2.
    Now my problem...
    When not connected to my computer the device is useless, it won't power on, the wheel is unresponsive, no sound comes from the headphones, it's dead.
    But when I connect it to my computer it shows up in My Computer and in iTunes and all of my songs show up and I can double click them and play them, but the screen on the Nano still remains dark and the wheel still does nothing.
    Another strange thing is that My Computer and iTunes will only recognize it when I turn "hold" on. If hold is off it refuses to show up at all.
    I downloaded the latest iPod software and it stopped showing up at all, so I uninstalled that and reverted back to whatever version I have now. I've tried to let it charge for 24 hours, that did nothing. I formatted it and let my computer re-install it's system files and what-not, that did nothing. I've tried to reset it, nothing. And I've mashed all the buttons and circled around the wheel endlessly to no avail.
    I really have no clue what might have caused this or how to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions I'm willing to try them, because at this point it can't get that much more broken.
    So um, thanks for any help. If anyone actually manages to help me fix this thing and you have a PayPal account I'll toss you like $20 or something for your time, because it's cheaper than buying a new Nano.

    Wow. I have no idea, I have never opened my ipod to do any do-it-yourself repairs. Of course (as you probably already know) your warranty is now voided since you opened it up and made alterations to it.
    I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting this, as I am unclear as to the cause of the issue.

  • Muvo T200 Won't Power down or pause

    I bought a muvo t200 for my husband for his birthday (as a match to my own). Aftger upgrading the firmware to .03.03 it will turn on, but won't pause or power down. About one in three times, pressing the power down button causes it to either skip to the designated shortcut or go to the options. the rest of the menu seems to be working ok.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for helping out!

    Can you try resetting it to see if that helps?
    Insert and remove a straightened paperclip from the Reset Hole.
    If this does not work, you probably need to format the player.
    WARNING: This step deletes all your player's content. If possible, back up all your player's content on your computer before proceeding.

  • 5th Gen 60G Won't Power Down-NO SLEEP

    My 5th gen 60g's are not powering down, the backlight will go off, but they will NOT power down! I've reset, re-installed and used factory defaults, but they still drain down the battery because they WON"T SHUT OFF

    I'm looking into the same problem. A friend has a 5G 30GB video that's having insomnia. I've restored it a couple of times using itunes 8.0.1, and the firmware is version 1.3.
    It's got a few problems. One is that it won't go to sleep by itself at all. If I enable the sleep menu option and select it, it "sorta tries to" go to sleep - i.e. the clickwheel stops responding but the screen stays on (if the backlight is set to "always on" then that also stays on). The clickwheel stops responding to swizzling until I press a button.
    Also, when I do a reset (hold down center/menu buttons) it forgets all the menu and clickwheel settings when it reboots and even asks me to choose the language again. I believe this only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I don't know if a firmware upgrade triggered it.
    It's chewing up the battery very quickly the way it is. I've loaned the owner my old 20GB photo for the time being and this one will sit on a charger until a solution appears
    I hope someone at apple spots this and writes a patch!
    Thanks
    Matt.

  • Macbook won't power down

    Bought a brand new Aluminum Macbook 4 days ago, and it worked perfectly for the fisrt 3 days, but today it has decided to not power down or let me log off. When I try to shut it down, it acts normally at first, closing out all my open apps but then it just does nothing and won't turn off.

    Have you tried holding down the power (on/off) button to force shut down?

  • 4S won't power down only go to sleep mode.

    4S top button won't power off only go to sleep mode.How can I power the phone down?

    Thanks - Sometimes this works and then it doesn't always do the trick. I wonder if there is a combination of buttons that could be pushed to shut the phone down?

  • RAID won't power down and then lost one of the 2 drives

    I tried to power down my RAID before leaving the studio last night and it would not shut down. Both RAID drives were functioning when I shut down my G5. I didn't shut down power to the RAID for fear I might corrupt or lose some files.
    Now one of the two drives (the lower one I think, labled Drive 2) is not mounting. I still haven't unplugged it. What should my next step be? HELP!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Brian,
    1) If you don't have a good backup policy, this should spur you to ensure you have one. You should ALWAYS have a backup policy, even with protected storage like Xserve RAID. Heck, large organizations have full offsite backups of their data on multi-million-dollar EMC Symmetrix and IBM Shark systems. Back up everything you can't afford to lose at a moment's notice.
    2) Once you have a backup, you may wish to upgrade to the 1.5 firmware, if you haven't already done so.

  • Nano won't power on

    Nano won't turn on at all, not recognized by PC. I've tried charging it thru PC (usb 2), charging it thru radio with built in charger (iHome) and charging it with separate charger.
    Because it is not recognized and will not turn on, I cannot perform the 5Rs.
    Anything to try short of return? Any advise welcome.

    I hate to say this, but please check first if your Hold switch is turned off.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have to check whether your iPod is really off or it just displays nothing. If it's on, but it doesn't display anything, you can try Reset (Center+Menu).
    If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll have to send your iPod to Apple.
