One day old iPOD 30g Video randomly turns off

Title says it all...tried all of the Rs, even restored it. Plays fine for a little while, then BAM....turns off, just after a small pop is heard subtly in the headphones (I assume it is the amp shutting off.) Then you can hear the hard drive powering down. Sometimes I restart it and it works fine for a little while, other times it turns off just as I go to navigate the menus. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah...got everything....tried the Best Buy route and apparently Apples restrictions for returns are quite rigorous and without a receipt, I am screwed.
I won it from Georgia Pacific at a Builder's conference. I am going to try and contact them from the number that is one the shipping label, but I do not have high hopes for that. After that, if apple requires some kind of receipt, I am completely screwed. According to Best Buy, without a receipt, Apple charges $250 to service the thing...might as well buy another at that rate, and at that point....eh no..I stick with my Hi-MD

    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.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • 30 GB ipod randomly turns off.

    I received a 30 GB ipod as a Christmas gift. At first it worked fine but a couple days ago it began to randomly turn off. I can turn it back on again but it continues to turn off on its own. Any suggestions ?

    My 30 GB did this after I had added some music that I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store. Is this the case for you? Do you notice the iPod turning off when your listening to music that wasn't purchased from iTunes? If so, I just deleted the songs from the playlist and it never happened again. ~.~

  • My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

    My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

    When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector?  That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty.  Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look.  They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

I have changed batteryes before(sort off the same problem) at a different time off the year. it was during winter last time i got these issues.

    Hi okgames,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on or shuts off randomly. In your situation, I would suggest reading over the attached article and try the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure all steps have been completed before considering a hardware repair.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • IPod 30g video photo storage question

    Can I use iPod 30g video as my iPhoto backup? My question is, does it store original photo full size? Do I have to resize my photos before I send them to my iPod? I only need less than 10g for my music, the rest I plan to use for photos. Thanks Alex

    You are correct, the iPod does NOT come with a charger, most of us here are disappointed with that, that would be an extra $30 out of your pocket to get. Yes USB is the cable it uses. You can charge it through the computer or (if you have the adapter) through an outlet, via usb. As far as the iPod mini connection, I think it may be different, but I could be wrong, never owned one I'll look into that.
    Actually I don't want to say anything, I really don't know, lol, and you are welcome Alex good luck with your iPod and enjoy .

    My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

    There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work.  Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
    Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

  • Why does my iPod randomly turn off?

       I have an iPod 3rd generation. I will be playing an app,surfing the web, or checking my emails and my iPod will randomly turn off. First it will dim to the point you can barely see it, then it freezes, and turns off.  I have tried restoring it, and a  force shutdown. I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.
