Need To Turn iPod Off???????

Is it necessary to move your iPod to the "Off" position when it is not in use??
I am asking because all the iPod cases that clip to your waist do not provide access to the "Off", "Play in Order", or "Shuffle Songs" button. Surely it is not necessary to take the iPod in and out of the case every time you use it.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

I only turn my Shuffle OFF when it occasionally needs resetting or I'm charging it with the USB Power Adapter. Otherwise I just PAUSE it. After an hour or so the Shuffle puts itself to sleep and battery drain is minimized.

  • Screen cracked, Need to turn phone off completely.

    Off course, less than a week after my boyfriend gets this phone, he drops it and the screen cracked. We DO have insurance, but have to wait a week till payday for the deductible.  Here is my problem.
    Screen is cracked, phone is still on. I need to turn it off, as the alarms he has set for work keep sounding and are a pain to stop, as he has multiple each day. I know I can wait for the battery to die, of of course, BUT
    I've read that I can do what is comparable to a battery pull with the volume down + power button for 10 seconds. I have done this, but it seems to restart rather than turn off. Is this what that action should do? Or am I doing it wrong. If this is what the action should do, am I out of luck until the battery dies?

    This is what I found in the manual, page 55 in the Troubleshooting area for your device...
    Crash recovery
    In the unlikely event that your smartphone stops
    responding to touches and key presses, try a forced
    reboot—press and hold both Power and the down
    volume key for 10 seconds.

  • I no longer have my iphone and need to turn imessage off

    i no longer own an iphone and need to turn imessage off but i no longer have the phone at all so i cant turn it off myself

    If youv'e ever called them they should have it on file. If you haven't call your carrier first and tell them that you need imessage turned off but don't have the imei number for the old iphone and ask if they still have it. Once you get it you can call apple and give them that number or have your carrier just route you straight to them.

  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,
    regan101

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • Need to turn bluetooth off after sleep so that apple mouse is 'seen' again

    i have an apple bluetooth mightymouse bluetooth. after my macbook pro goes to sleep, i need to turn bluetooth off then on again on the MBP so that the bt mouse is seen again. if i don't do that, the mbp never reconnects with the mouse. any hints?
    I have set off the 'allow bt devices to wake up computer from sleep' to save battery life on the mbp.
    p

    I use a Kensington PilotMouse Bluetooth and it looses it's connection from the MBP because the mouse turns off to prolong battery life. When I return the computer from sleep, I have to click the mouse buttons a few times... and wait up to 10 seconds, but it eventually reconnects once the laser on the mouse turns back on. Have you tried this?
    I hope this helps.
    Take care,
    Chris

  • TS1398 Why can't i get a good wifi connection after upgrading my my ipad2 IOS 5.1.1 to 6.0? I always need to turn it OFF then ON just to have a connection. But after a few minutes i need to do it again. Help me please. Thank you

    When i upgraded my IOS. I always find it hard to continue my search in internet. I need to turn off the wifi connection then on it after wards even though using the laptops and other mobile phone with wifi have a very good signal. Just like this message, i need to off it then turn it on again.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Must turn iPod off and back on to play a song

    Hello everyone,
    Almost everytime I go to use my iPod after it has been turned off for more than a couple hours I have the following problem:
    I can navigate through all menus, and select a song or video to play, but the song or video will not play. Instead, the song or video just sits at 0:00, forever.
    Hack Solution:
    The only way to get any song or video to play is to turn off the iPod (by holding down on the play/pause button) and then turn the iPod back on. Once I have done this then I can play any song or video without a problem.
    Notes:
    1) I have sent my iPod to Apple for this problem, and they sent it back without doing anything saying they found no problem, even after they told me on the phone this kind of activity should never happen.
    2) I have reinstalled iTunes
    3) I have updated the iPod firmware
    4) I have reset the iPod
    5) I have restored the iPod
    6) I use Automatic Syncing
    None of the above have solved the problem.
    Thanks for any advice any of you can add!

    When I turn on the iPod it goes to the last menu I was in, or to the song that was playing when I turned it off. The apple logo never comes up. Yes, it responds right away (but it won't play songs). I only use the hold button when I put the iPod in my coat pocket, the use of the hold button has no apparent effect on whether or not my problem occurs.
    I called Apple Tech Support this afternoon. They do NOT believe that my problem is a software problem.

  • Cannot Turn iPod off of Disk Use(!)

    I have tried everything to get my iPod off of the disk function, so that when I plug it in it will start iTunes automatically. I have checked the right options under the iPod tab in iTunes, but it still does not change. I haave even used iPod updater to restore it, but it still is opening as a disk when I connect it to my computer. Any ideas?

    I have had the same problem. I have found the following.
    1) Windows media player will see the iPod and try to sync. Somehow this "forces" it into disk mode. Just something I noticed on my PC.
    2) Someone on here posted that some anti-virus software will affect somehow into disk mode also. I have yet to confirm that. But my disk mode is turned off in iTunes and I still can see it as a disk at times. I have yet to pin it down to a certain pattern.

  • I need to turn fileVault off, and don't have the space

    I am so
    upset now,
    I freeed up a ton of space on my hard drive,
    before installing/ turning on the FileVault,
    and I asking an senior advisor,
    would turning on File Vault take up an of my GB space, and she said no,
    and I turned it on, it took 2.5 hours to do,
    and when it got done,
    I Can't it turned off becasue it's now telling me that I don't have enough GB space to turn it off,
    and I don't enough space,
    I need 134 GB of space do this task,
    I have taken it to the Apple Store at the Mall here in Atlanta,
    and no one were able to get it.
    I'm so frustrated,
    how can I force this thing off, and give me back my space,
    and I don't have an external hard drive,
    why did this happend aftern being told one thing by the senior advisor.
    OMG.
    I HATe this File Vault.

    Yes yes indeed,
    OMG,
    I finally got it off,
    I called IT Support
    and this guy saw where it had doubled the size during the encryption, and showed me how to go in and delete,
    and I was able to finally turn it off,
    although it took 3 hours to do so.
    but worth it.
    so never will I again listen to anyone about that,
    I'm done with the encryption of my machine.
    I wasted a trip going to the Apple Store,
    thank you.

  • Need to Turn it OFF  the Notification used by the AIA Common Error Handler.

    Hi All,
    My requirement is to turn it off the Notifcation send by the AIA common Error Handler, when the error occurs in the AIA ecosystem.
    Error Handling framework given by AIA does the Notification and Logging feature. In my case I need only the logging, but not the Notification. Notification has to be turned off for a time and has to be turned on when it is required.
    1) I can acheive this by removeing the email account file (ie. ns_email.xml) from the server directory and can be replaced at the time when required,but this needs the restart of the Server.
    Any Idea how to turn it off the notification and turn it on when required ?
    Thanks,
    Ashok.

    Hi Rohit,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Is there any way to turn it off the Notification, because if we retire the ReadJMSNotification Service all the error message are stayed in the Topic and we have to manually drain the message from topic.
    And one more thing is how the error messages are published to that AIA.AIA_Error_Topic.
    Thanks,
    Ashok.

  • Trouble with turning ipod off

    I have a Ipod 30gig Video and when i go to turn it off, sometimes it will take me five to ten tries. I do it the way it tells me to by holding in the play button and sometimes it works perfectly; but other times it will take me many tries. I don't know what the problem is.

  • Hold button turns iPod off...

    I looked through the forum and found one person who had a similar problem to mine but their question wasn't answered.
    My iPod has two main issues right now, after having gone through the 5 Rs. My computer and iTunes does recognize it but...
    --The hold button when toggled instead turns the iPod off
    --The click wheel (no matter how many times I refresh it) doesn't respond (except the Menu button)
    Is there any hope for it or should I look into shipping it to an Apple Store?

    Have you been through these? (I don't think there's anything else you can try)
    The Five Rs.
    If nothing helps, you can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

  • Open_Basedir I need to turn it off.

    I need to turn off open_basedir for my php setup, and have added open_basedir = none to both my php.ini file and my httpd.conf file, and yet open_basedir is still set to on.
    Any ideas of how to set open_basedir to none?
    Thanks!

    It might help if someone coudl tell me if there is more than one PHP.ini file that is standard, or if open_basedir can be turned off somewhere else for the entire server?

  • Help! Unable to turn iPod off!

    Well, this is what happened...
    ... Last night when i tried to turn my ipod off (by pressing and holding the play/pause button) i held it for 3 seconds then the backlight went off (but song was still playing), then when i release my finger from the play/pause button the backlight came back on and continued playing the song. I tried for 5 minutes to turn the ipod off but it just wouldnt go off. Eventually i gave up...
    ... Do you think i should take it to the apple store tomorrow? To be quite honest, this is my third ipod this year and i am sick of them keep breaking, Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Will i get a refund?
