Set auto shut down for iPod touch after period of inactivity

I keep falling asleep with my iPod on. My old MP3 player had a setting where it automatically shutdown after a specified period of inactivity. Is there a download or setting of some sort that will make the ipod touch do the same?

I can't try it out for you now and don't know if it's on 2.x, but read p. 32 of the IPT manual under Sleep Timer. The option is under the Clock -> Timer on the Home menu. If the feature is still there...
Here's a link to the online manual:

  • Shutting down my iPod Touch

    When shutting down my iPod Touch (not putting it to sleep), it turns black like usual, but shows the apple screen seconds after it turns off. What can I do? It has not turned off for weeks.

    I have the same issue.

    I have NOT found a solution. Also, my battery life is down to few hours in sleep mode. Does your battery also drain fully overnight?

  • While performing a system update, I shut down my iPod touch. Can the pictures on my iPod be recovered if my iPod was not backed up?

    While performing a system update, I shut down my iPod touch. Can the pictures on my iPod be recovered if my iPod was not backed up?
    iPod is fourth generation, the system update was a little over half complete.
    I want to get the pictures off the iPod so that I can keep them. Is there any way to do this?

    Maybe,
    - if when you connect the iPod to your computer you can make a backup? If yes yo can restore from that backup
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    - Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup dated when you started the update. the first stiep of an update is iTunes making a backup.
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • WindowsXP shuts down when iPod Touch 2nd gen 8gb is connected

    Everything was operating fine for the first day I was using my new iPod Touch. on the second day, I think I might have disconnected the iPod too early? The iPod itself is currently operating normally, however, every time I connect it to my PC/iTunes, the PC shuts down, then goes to the HP blue screen- the one that gives the "Esc, F1 and F8" options.
    I restart and Windows says it has recovered from a serious error and wants to send the report.
    PC is ok until connection w/Ipod.

    Send the report and then wait while XP connects and tells you what the error is then you can "fix" it.
    You can also check Event Viewer to find out the error. I'm guessing you messed up Apple Mobile Device Support and may have done something to the Windows usb drivers but only the error report can tell you for sure.
    It might have nothing to do with your iPod or it might have everything to do with it but we can't help until we know what it is.
    As for disconnecting iPods, wait till iTunes it says OK to disconnect and then use that arrow icon to do it. That will avoid all sorts of problems in the future.
    If you want to end the sync early use the slider on the iPod (the one that reads cancel sync) and then use the disconnect arrow icon when you get the OK form iTunes.

  • How can i track down my ipod touch after i lost it 2g?

    i lost my ipod touch on thursday and i want to c if anyone knows how to track it down without the mobile me app or any app for gps

    You can only track the iPod if you had it set up with FindMyiPod/iPhone.  If you didn't I'm afriad you are out of luck and we'll have to look for it the same way you would any other lost item.
    Sorry.

  • MacBook shuts down for no reason after install of 10.6

    I have a black MacBook 2.1 with
    2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I got it from my mom after she poured a glass of water over it and it wouldn't start again and she bought herself a MacBook pro. A friend of hers dried it however and now only the part where it connects to the battery is broken but if you use it with the powercord it still works fine, so she gave it to me. I installed 10.4 again (which came with it) and had no problems with it (as long as noone messed with the powercord). After I realized however that all the software that is out now only works for 10.5 and up (thanks apple for not even providing the old iTunes version somewhere...), I figured it would be great to install SL (which I was told would work not optimally but fine on this version of MacBooks). Over ebay I ordered a new installation dvd with 10.6 but after backuping my stuff on an external harddrive and starting the installation, the trouble began:
    I had to do the installation about 10 times until it finally completed. During the installation process, it was like someone pulled the powercord (remember, no battery) and it completely shut down. I figured it might just be the installation process that was kinda hard on it but now that I have it working, it does the same thing! After around 20min or so, it just completely shuts down....
    Anyone got an idea why this could be happening?
    I tryed booting from my backup, but even though 10.4.11 started successfully, after like 7 min the same thing happened. I'm completely clueless, I mean it work fine all the time under 10.4 and now since the installation I have these strange problems...
    I would love to just have this **** snow leopard running....
    Thanks for any suggestions! =)

    Thanks for you answer =)
    unfortunately I couldn't open your picture for some reason (403), but its the single disk with just 10.6 on it in a small white package. Seems to be rather old, at least it says 2009 on it.
    UPDATE:
    I did some further checks on it, a friend suggested the symptoms might fit an increased temperature, so I installed Fan Control, which pretty much told me my right fan is broken (for the left one I got a reasonable value concerning rpm but for the right one it just said -1 ...but does the macbook even have 2 fans?) well, anyways, I installed iStats pro in addition and checked all the temperatures and this doesen't seem to be it (it shut down after exactly 40min with all temps being <= 50°C). The next time I turned it on and started with the systemupgrade, it only stayed on for 30min though.
    After I completed the upgrade to 10.6.6 I wanted to test for other hardware failures so I've installed prime95, but 2 self-tests went through without detecting any errors or even bringing up warnings, so it doesen't seem to be the ram either.
    Now my current uptime is 1:30h, so maybe 10.6.6 for some reason solved the problem?
    What I'm still having troubles with however (probably a detail I should have mentioned before...) is the monitor of the MacBook: it sometimes turns completely black, which doesn't affect my external monitor however. This happend during the installation as well (the one time where it didn't completely shut down which enabled my to finish the installation). The screen is completely dark but if you look closely you can still see some shadow of windows and buttons. When I ran the prime95 test this happend as well and after I sent the computer to sleep (close laptop lid) when I turned it back on it didn't light up again either. I didn't really have this problem under 10.4 but it happend to me twice but I think that was related to someone slightly hitting the powercord - at least that was my explanation at the time. Might the problem be caused somewhere there? I've read in other forums that sleep seemed to be a more frequent problem for MacBooks with SL.
    Are there any more tests I could run in order to find out something for sure or are there some logfiles where the reason might be documented?
    Well, my MacBook screen is "off" for now and I'll just keep it running now, maybe I'm lucky and it'll stay on... I would still really like to know if there is some causal relation between the MacBook screen and its turning off completely...I wouldn't really mind just keeping its screen turned off if that solves the problem for sure since I'm basically just using it as a desktop pc anyways but it was nice having a second display.
    Thanks [=

    My ipod touch shut down for no reason. now when i try to turn it on again, it goes to the apple icon to the spinning wheel, then it repeats.

    Try:                                               
    - 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 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.

  • I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled.  Now it is asking for pasword, can I cancel this so I don't have to use a password?

    I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode?  I still cant remember the passcode.  How do I go past this?

    You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!
    Tiffany
    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

    iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs.  Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update? 
    Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums.  It's where the iPod users hang out.
