Randomly my iPod shows a red arrow slider that says "slide to power off".

This never happened before, and it does it so much that it's getting really annoying! It will happen randomly when I am listening to music or whatever... sometimes I even see it do that when it's just sitting there not in use... very strange. Wish I could somehow turn this off.

- First try restoring the iPod from backu.
- If still a problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- If still a problem you likey have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Screen flashes black and then shows slide to power off

    While playing music the screen repeatedly flashes to black then flashes to the slide to power off screen. When I tap cancel it usually works for a few min before doing it again but sometimes it flashes between the black screen and the itunes screen several times before showing the slide to power off screen.

    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.
    - 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. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    - 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

  • My ipod 4g wont slide to unlock, but it will slide to power off

    Helpppp ! My ipod touch 4g wont slide to unlock, but it will slide to power off & the screen is craked does this mean its broken or ?

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • One day i  was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then  it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening

    One day i  was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then  it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening my ipod is jailbroken and i didnt fiddle with the settings.. please help.

    If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here.  You'll need to seek out other sources of help.  The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
    BTW, just a pointer...  punctuation is your friend!  Your post was very difficult to read without any.  Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

  • "slide to power off" notice keeps appearing

    iPad Mini: "Slide to power off" notice keeps appearing. Fully charged. Restored to original settings and then restored from backup ok.
    How do I get this notice to stop popping up, please?
    Thx.
    Dan

    Problem solved.
    Turns out that evidently the iPad Mini was dropped and the clear shell case for the back came off. It must have been put back on backwards so the On/Off Sleep/Wake button was being pressed by the case when held tightly... causing the "Slide to Power Off" message to show. This was discovered when the Smart Cover wouldn't stand the unit properly... But.. only after I guessed the Smart Cover was broken and I bought a new Smart Cover. The new red Smart cover didn't work any better than the previous blue one. Soooooo... I looked carefully at the unit and found that the clear back had been put on backwards!
    Now, how do I turn this into a positive "teaching moment" with my spouse? Or, maybe after 53 years of marriage I'll just take credit for fixing it and getting her a beautiful new red cover!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Wont power off or slide to power off

    Ipad 2 will not power off holing down off button- screen pops up to slide to power off and wont allow

    "Won't allow?"  What happens when you slide?
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
