Problems with the ipod switching itself off

It's happened a few times now, and my ipod will have battery when it happens. I'll put it on standby as such, and then it'll not switch back on or restart, I normally have to plug it into mains for it to turn back on. Then I'll upload my inbox, and it'll have resynced my email addresses so it'll set all my emails as being unread. However, this time it won't refresh my email address and won't upload my emails! I don't know why it's repeatedly doing this.
Help?

Omg, I've put over 2 hours of work in it to reinstall other versions of itunes, ios n such to then find out that they DID NOT test my ipod and sennheiser earbuds that I gave in along with my busted itouch.... They told me they work fine... Now I took my girlfriends earbuds cause nothing worked, turned out they are both broken and now I need to go back to the store for new ones, dont think that the previous itouch wasnt busted then after all cause it was, tried with 10 different sets of earbuds
anyway Im a happy man again with a decent itouch and good earbuds, that I can lend from me girlfriend...
Thanks for the help anyway

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording.  If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality.  If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
    I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
    Anyone out there with some ideas?
    Cheers,

  • IPod switches itself off?

    I've had my 20GB iPod for about 10 months now, but recently whenever I use the click wheel, to scroll through songs or anything my iPod seems to switch off, and shows the apple logo for about 30 seconds, before it turns back on but the battery has drained about 50% and the date/time is reset back to 1st Jan 00. After about another 30 seconds the battery goes back up again, but whenever I try to play a song it just cuts out again.
    When it's freshly charged it seems to work OK for about an hour, then the problems start happening and it becomes un-usable. Anyone know what's happening?

    I am having a very similar problem with my 3rd generation, 15-gig iPod. I've had it for about 14 months and it's worked fine up until the last month or so. Then I started having a problem - whenever I'd select a song (any song), it would shut itself off and not even re-start. When I manually restarted it, it was completely drained of battery power, and I had the same problem. Updating iTunes software seemed to solve it temporarily, but then it started happening again.
    Is this a battery issue or a hard drive issue? I know there have been battery problems with the 3rd-gen iPods, but I haven't started having this problem until, conveniently, after the warranty expired.

  • Problems with the iPod Touch (sound)

    Hey,
    I was wondering (more like desperately hoping) someone can help me with my problem.
    I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years now but lately I've been getting problems with the sound.
    When I bought the iPod, I bought some decent sennheiser plug-in earbuds too, because I find the one's delivered with the ipod pretty low quality.
    For over a year, I loved my ipod touch (it's my second one) but one day, for some unknown reason, my sound was at not even half of the usual volume.
    I've checked the settings but cannot find the problem, so I tested the ipod ears delivered with the ipod since they were new, same story (the left earbud was slightly louder than the right for some time but not too long, then they both gone quiet).
    I've checked on the internet before and someone said "try jailbraking your ipod, because that sometimes helps, so I did but no effect.
    So I set it back to fabric settings and went to a switch store, they listened and found it odd too so they send it in because it was still under guarantee.
    Now (today), I've gotten a completely new ipod touch 16 Gb. So, happy as I was, I went home to put my music on it, and what happens? The sound is slightly louder than the previous one but still WAY too quiet! If I'm on the bus, its no use listening to it because I cant understand the lyrics cause of the background noizes the bus makes... Its p*¨ssing me off bigtime that its still way too quiet, anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
    Please don't send useless reply's like get ya ears checked because Im in the army and they get checked regularly and they are perfectly fine!
    Maybe with someone knows some other program or app  that I can use so I can fix this very irritating problem?
    I have had 6 iPods before, from the first one that came out to the ipod touch 16 Gb, and its only with this one that Ive started having problems about a year ago.
    Plus my girlfriend has an ipod too (not a touch) and on her ipod, everything works fine, my earbuds included :s
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Photosmart 7520 error. there is a problem with the printer. turn printer off then on.

    I have a photosmart 7520 experiencing the following issues.
    Problem #1:   Randomly all the lights start to blink off and on and the display reads the following :  
    Error . There is a problem with the printer. Turn printer off then on.
    I cannot find any one action that triggers this to happen.
    Problem #2:  When the printer is turned on and idle,  also at RANDOM times, the printer will "Ding" followed by the  wireless light blinking. Then what sounds like the cartridges being cleaned, then a sound like the feeder spinning or the print head running full track from side to side, then ending with a "Ding" and then returning to normal.
    When this occurs, the wireless connection is disconnected then reconnected. Also this Disables the "Scan to computer" function to all the computers on the network and requires manually re-enabling all .
    From what I can tell the printer is restarting itself. 
    It is plugged directly into the wall outlet, no surge protector.
    Tech support has already run me through the clean the print head steps, escalated me up the chain, and ultimately replaced the printer with a brand new one.
    THE NEW PRINTER IS DOING ALL THE SAME THINGS AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.
    This printer is connected wirelessly to a Netgear N900 router. My computers all running Windows 7, all are on the same network and workgroup and all are running Mcafee Total Protection.
    If anyone is or has experienced the same or similar problems, I could sure use some help.
    This question was solved.

    How did you fix this?
    I replaced an HP printer recently for a new Photosmart 7520 after a complete ink container emptied into the printer.
    The old printer sometimes had difficulties switching it on and the new printer has the same problem.
    Also the wireless connection regulary drops and can only be reenabled by switching of the printer and switching it back on, only this sometimes takes more than ten minutes before a simple push on the power button is translated in a power on of the printer.
    Since the previous printer also suffered from these "power" issues, I think the problems are power related, but I have to check this first before I can say anything more about this.

  • Problems with the ipod

    I have already researched this problem to the max, so any other suggestions are welcome, but I have already read all the discussions on it as well as the Apple Documentation. I am coming here on the off chance someone knows soemthing and so I can document for the benefit of other ipod users.
    I get "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when trying to synch ipod. The error message does vary a bit.
    I have seen other users referred to this artile.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
    This documentation is pretty useless as it says that everything can be wrong.
    So far I have restored my ipod many times, formatted it for windows, checked it for errors in windows, updated my ipod software, updated itunes, tried various methods described all to no avail. It is not a problem with a specific file because I have tried transferring only 100 out of the 2500 files in my collection to no avail.
    I will try updating my ipod from a different computer with a different library of music later tonight. So far I have not had access to a computer with a firewire drive so that I can make sure it's not a problem with the USB cord or interface.
    Suggestions are welcome! If updating it with another comp does not work I guess I'll try to use the ipods warranty. If that doesn't work I'll try to replace the harddrive myself.

  • Problem with the Ipod Touch Music Player

    Hi, I recently got an iPod touch 3g (8 gig) around christmas, and its been a truly great buy and worked flawlessly. However just recently I started having issues with the iPod's music player.
    Ever since last night, I noticed that when I use the music player, and try to move 'FORWARD' a song (IE the double forward arrow button) the arrow would stay white like I was pressing it, NOT move forward a song, the screen would be unresponsive as the current song played, and then after 2-3 seconds the music player would crash and go back to the home screen.
    I know it was a crash because when I went back to the music player, it was reset back to the 'Shuffle' option with the list of songs below it (usually, it leaves off on the last song you were listening to.)
    I also noticed, that even if I just listened to a song completely without hitting forward, it would STILL freeze up and crash to home screen once the song was finished, even if I DIDN'T press anything.
    But apparently the double back arrow (rewind/back) works without crashing it.
    So my question is: what can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting my iPod (by holding the top and home buttons for 10 seconds) and it did not solve this. I always keep my iPod charged up, and I can't think of ANYTHING I did yesterday or recently at all to cause this problem....I generally only use the iPod touch for music or internet browsing.
    any help appreciated..

  • Are there problems with the iPod suffle blowing headphones?

    I recently purchased an iPod shuffle. After about 2 weeks the headphones went out on me. Thinking I just got a defective pair, I purchased a new set. Not two weeks after purchasing those, this set went out as well.
    I don't blast my music, and both times it was the right ear bud that went out.
    Thus, does anyone know if there is something defective with the iPod shuffles that cause the right ear buds to blow?
    I have tried plugging the headphones into my laptop and yes, it is blown. I was thinking that after the second set of headphones went out, that maybe it was the shuffle itself, but it's not.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated.

    I don't understand why you bought a replacement pair when you could have had Apple replace them under warranty.

  • My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  Is there a problem with the ipod?

    My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  I've tried other headphones.  Is there a problem with her ipod?

    First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

  • Still problems with the Ipod Nano 3g and the Nike+ kit??

    I thinking about buying an Ipod Nano and the Nike+ kit tomorrow but now I'm a bit unsure due to some of the problems mentioned here in this forum? Do you still have problems with the commuication between the Nano and the sensor? Are there still problems wtih the distance being wrong or only in km? Should I buy - if possible - a Ipod Nano 2G?
    Regards
    Morten

    Personally I am very happy with my new iPod Nano. It works great with Nike Plus and I love the video and some of the cool features like stopwatch and more. I have an earlier iPod Nano and I was hesitant to buy the new one but I am so glad I did. I don't have any problems uploading data.

  • Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

    I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

    Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect OK?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.

  • HT4061 my phone is working however the screen switched itself off and went blank

    Hi, I was in the middle of using the internet when the screen went black, the phone still works I can unlock it and hear all the clicks etc but just cant see anything, I have tried switching it off and back on and plugging it into a charger but with no joy.  This has happened before and when i took it to the apple store they told me it was because I triple clicked the home button and it went into accessibility mode but I had no recoglection of doing this however the phone was fixed, but the same thing happened this time and I know for certain I never triple clicked the home button.  can someone please help as I have had an iphone since september, the 1st one had a faulty button so they replaced it then this one has had problems twice for which I had to travel into the city centre for which is 40 miles away for a problem that has been with the phone.  Can say im a not too happy customer at the minute.

    I have tried this now and with no avail, you can still here the phone working but no visual from the screen.  I have booked an appointment with the apple store to see if I can get this sorted, but once again I have to travel a distance to get this resolved!! not happy to say the least but thank you for your advice.

  • A few problems with the ipod touch

    Hi all,
    Just trying to get some feedback from everyone. Firstly I love the ipod touch, I reckon it was a great buy compared to all the other new ipods (please dun shoot me on this, this is my opinion :P) but I've noticed some problems with it and was wondering if anyone else has the same problems.
    Firstly when I sync the touch to my computer and change the name/details of 1 movie file, when I go back to the touch in the videos section the frame that is used on the list goes missing and defaults into the generic one (the grey looking monitor). I'm not sure why. I cannot get it back no matter what I try.
    Another thing, I swap back and forth syncing using my MacBook Pro and my Toshiba Tecra (XP SP2) depending on which one I'm using at that particular moment. It's fine for music, but when I try to upload any kind of movies on the Tecra it seems to give me a BSOD. Something to do with the QT program files clashing with the system. Anyone had this problem before? And as a result I would just go to my MBP to upload movies and such.
    Any kind of feedback and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time all.

    Try here (you likely tried most of these).

    If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
