Camera going to "Slide to power off" screen
Yesterday, as I was taking a video, after about 2 seconds of recording my phone would pop up the "Slide to power off" screen. When I hit cancel, it went back to my home screen. I tried this a few more times and it happened again and again. I then power cycled the phone and it did it again. This would happen for both the video and still camera. It finally went away and now I can not duplicate the problem.
Do I need to take it into the Apple store?
iPhone 4 with 4.2.1OS.
Thanks.So no one has experienced this? Please let me know if you have.
Thank you -
How do I stop my iPod touch from cycling from the slide to unlock screen to the black screen with the cycling gear? It does this every two seconds.
If not successful try the remaining items of
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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. -
How can I reboot my Touch when the screen is frozen and I cannot use the "slide to power off" feature?
Next 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, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!
I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1. My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud). The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs). Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

Why doesn't iPod touch save articles in the Reading list for off line reading?
Why doesn't iPod touch save articles in the Reading list for off line reading?
Because Apple did not set it up that way. Email the list to you. The Users Guide says:
View an article in Reader: Tap the Reader button, if it appears in the address field.
Adjust the font size: Tap .
Share the article: Tap .
Note: When you email an article from Reader, the full text of the article is sent, in addition to the link. -
IPod touch (1st gen) audio pauses, won't power off, invisible in iTunes
For about a week now, my iPod touch (1st generation, iOS 3.1.3) has been acting funny. When I plug it in to my MacBook (OS X 10.6.5), iTunes (10.1, 54) does not recognize the device, the wireless signal indicator does not show at all, the battery meter is incorrect, the audio pauses randomly, and I cannot turn off the device (by holding down the sleep button for 10 seconds and then sliding the "Slide to power off" control). I am able to force a power off by holding down the sleep button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. After a manual power down, things are normal again, but the iPod touch reverts to the same weirdness after a few hours. Any ideas?
Ever since I uninstalled the TGI Black Friday app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tgi-black-friday/id335329737?mt=8), things are back to normal now. Very strange.

Used ipod touch, cant reset to DFU,sync or power off.. please help!!
used ipod touch, cant reset to DFU,sync or power off.. please help!!
From your description it appears that the iPod is on like it showing something on the screen. In that case let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a rest restore and other things again.
If the iPod returns to the same conditions then it is time for an appoitment at the Genious Bar of an Apple store. -
The lock screen on my IPad zoomed in on itself. It is zoomed in so far that I can't unlock it, and I can't see the 'slide to power off' option. I've tried to reset it numerous times. Any suggestions? Help please!
Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal size. If it works go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

Hey there Apple Users
I would like some assistance with my iPad please
My iPad is stuck. The little box stating that there is not enough iCloud storage available will not close or allow me to go to settings....I have tried to shut it down but it won't let me access the slide to power off button either. Any thoughts???Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
what do i do if my ipod touch keeps turning on, going to the charge screen, then going to the apple screen, then shutting off?
If it is still charging using the adapter, let it stay there for at least 15min, then connect again, if necessary use recovery mode. iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not luck, and the battery still shows the red charging icon, you might need a new battery. -

Ipod Touch keeps restarting after "red slider" shutdown...and other issues?
Hi There...I'm considering returning my Ipod Touch and thought I'd see if anyone else was experiencing similar issues before I do anything drastic. I purchased a second generation Ipod Touch in December (2.2.1 update) and everything seemed to be working well for a while. I guess it was sometime in January that I noticed my ipod restarting itself after shutdown (red slider)...almost every single time. I simply CAN NOT shut down my ipod when I want to. It does shut down temporarily, then...sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes later...it restarts on it's own.
I've reset all settings, and I've tried turning off wifi (which seemed to work temporarily), but now it's doing it again. I've heard that if you continue to hold down the sleep/wake button while you slide the red slider to "off" it will cause the ipod to restart...so I'm wondering if maybe there's something wrong with the button? Sometimes it seems like if I fiddle with the button (pulling up on it and such), it will allow me to shut it down...but this could be coincidence. I've seen a posting on another mac forum outlining a similar problem but there were no replies. Can anyone offer any other suggestions?
Also, I've been experiencing volume issues with my Ipod...sometimes there's just no volume while songs, youtube videos, etc. are playing. The "progress"(?) bar shows that audio/video is playing, but there is no sound (and yes...the volume is turned up). Seems to happen most often when the headset is plugged in...but that's how I use it most of the time. I do hook it up to an older tuner/amp with a 1/8" to RCA Y-cord, and with a 1/8" - 1/8" cord in my truck and it's cut out then as well.
Both problems seem to be getting worse I only have a few apps on the Ipod (aside from music, podcasts, and some mp4 video) and can list them if anyone thinks this might be the issue. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
M.P.Thanks for your input, but as far as I understand, this restarting issue is definitely not normal for the Ipod touch. Nowhere online or in the provided literature does it say that the ipod is supposed to automatically restart after shutdown. Ignoring the problem by not shutting it down at all is like saying your broken car is fixed because you're not going to drive it anymore! LOL!
Anyhow, this is a relatively small problem now compared to the volume issues which are occurring with greater and greater frequency. It's gotten to the point where I can no longer even listen to a full song from the album I just bought from itunes! This "cutting out" occurs with and without (listening through internal speaker) headphones attached (several different pairs tested) and while hooked to an audio tuner with a high quality cable. I've blown out the jack on the ipod with compressed air to dislodge any possible dust or debris, and have followed the trouble shooting procedures as outlined in the apple support document. The symptoms lead me to believe that this is not so much simply "a volume issue" as it is a symptom of a much larger problem. The volume slider has now started to jump around on it's own after the volume has cut out, and the song continues to play. I have experienced so many problems (not all listed hear) and have heard so many complaints about the ipod touch, that I'm starting to seriously reconsider my purchase...and I'm a huge Mac fan! I haven't abused my Ipod...if anything I'm over cautious with it.
Could this be software related? Something that will be sorted with an update in a few weeks time?Has anyone experienced or successfully resolved any of the issue that I've listed here - or am I on my own? I'm guessing maybe I should just bring it back...
Best,
M.P. -
I got an iPod touch as a Christmas gift to replace an old broken iPod Nano, and it's worked fine apart from this thing with the Albums. Certain Albums (Albums made up of individual songs by different artists) aren't properly grouping into a single Album, but instead turns each individual song into it's own Album unless the songs are by the same artist, this is really weird since the old Nano never had this issue. I'm not sure what causes this or how to fix it, I thought maybe turning off "Group by Album Artist" in settings would do the trick but that doesn't seem to have done anything. Basically I just want to get these songs properly grouped into a Single Album instead of as individual albums for each song and was curious if anyone knew how to do this.
I do apologize if this is confusing, I'm not really sure how to describe the problem.I feel your pain! I have the same exact problem. Have you gotten a solution yet?

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.
You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud
