TA26689 when i turn my ipod off and place it on lock mode (orange shows) it often will power back up. what is going on? it is becoming very sensitive to motion

Whatever suggestions you have would be appreciated. it is a classic ipod....

Most likely, the Hold/Lock switch is defective. when you lock it does the padlock symbol comes ON.
if not , then most likely the Hold switch need to be replaced or else,
Try to Reset it, wont delete any Music on your iPod.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If it doesn't work then Restore it, which will delete your music.

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.
- 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 to reenter my Wifi password every time I restart my Ipod touch. It used to retain the password but now it drops out when I turn the Ipod off. Any suggestions?

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

I was updating to 3.6.13 and it was almost finished and it paused on its own and is now stuck there even when I turn my computer off and turn it back on. It doesn' t respond when I hit the resume button. What do I do?

I got a message screen telling me I needed to update to the latest firefox version. So I proceeded to update to 3.6.13. The update window said it was almost finished with just a few seconds remaining. It was taking a very long time when it got to that point so I minimized that screen and went to do something else. My computer kept freezing up so I went back to the update window to see how it was coming along and noticed it had paused, I tried to hit the resume button but it didn't work. I turned my computer off and turned it back on hoping that I could just start the update over but the same message was there when I went to try to update again. It still said it was almost finished with the previous update and that it was paused. What do I do to correct this?

Whats the difference between turning the ipod off and putting it to sleep?

is there a difference between turning off the ipod by holding the play button and selecting sleep in the main menu?

As far as I can tell, it's just another way of turning the iPod off.

When I shut my ipod off and leave it over night my battery is dead by morning. Why is my ipod doing this?

The battery life for my ipod is all of the sudden becoming very short. Instead of lasting around 3 and a half to 4 hours it lasts about 1 to 2 hours. I haven't done anything different so why all of the sudden?

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. Sometimes battery life just dripps off fast with a failing battery.

I just got a brand new ipod shuffle and every time i plug it into my computer it shuts down itunes. What's going on?

Its a brand new 2 gb ipod shuffle and has never been connected to a computer before.

It would be interesting if it could "talk" to iTunes on a different host computer..if it couldn't it sounds like it would be some type of hardware problem, and would involve a warranty replacement of the new device.....wish I had a better answer...

When I turned my Ipod off, I got infinite loading; how do I fix this?

I have an Ipod touch, not jailbreaked or any of that crap. Anyways, I was updating an app and I held down the power button to turn it off. I then waited and waited and waited. I keep on getting a spiral that constantly swirls. All the buttons don't work, so how can I get back on my Ipod Touch?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Is it normal when you closed your ipod touch and your theme song is gone?

Is it normal when you closed your _ipod touch 2nd generation_ and your theme song is gone? What I mean is that when I listened to this certain song and I closed the ipod and I opened the ipod up again, and go to "music" to listen to the song that I just listen, the "Now Playing" page is not coming up no more. Instead, the whole music's page come up. I'm just wondering if this is normal for the ipod touch? Or there is something wrong with mine? If it not normal for the ipod touch to be this way, anybody know how to fix it? Your help would be really appreciated.

yes, this is normal behaviour - at least for the 1st Gen, and i can't see any logical idea why it wouldn't - (presumably as when you turn your ipod off, it thinks you are finished with it.) BUT if you just put your ipod into sleep mode, it will remember the song (you will have to pause it, otherwise it will continue playing)

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

HT4623 After the iOS 7 update my camera does not operate correctly. It will take about 5 photos then it becomes very sensitive, moving between "video & square". I turn it off & back on, it work for a second or two & lockout again.

After updating my iPad my camera does not operate correctly. It will take about 5 photos then lockup. It also becomes very sensitive when I try to zoom in, it changes to "video or square". I have to turn off for awhile then it repeats the same malfunction, just lockup again.

So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer

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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
