Trouble playing music & Turning off ipod

Hello,
I just bought a new ipod and after installing the software I can not turn it off. Because of this the batery drains in no time. I've read some of the discussion threads and tried all the tips with no success.
The off function is not working and the reset function doesn't appear to be working either.
Also, when I try playing a song or viewing pictures the ipod will recycle after playing a couple of seconds of the song.

I was restting it according to the instructions. I finally had to reformat the ipod and start over. Reformatting corrected the problem was.

How to turn off iPod playing music in the background?

Hi,
On my iPhone 3g, when I'm using AOL Radio or playing game (with headphones on/off) it starts playing iPod..is there any way to turn off iPod while you are running other video/audio apps? I mean it just starts automatically out of nowhere n then i have to go in ipod n pause it. Any help???

That's not happening to me. Try resetting your phone (hold down Home and Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo.

Ipod music turns off in sleep mode

Ipod nano 6th gen music turns off in sleep mode or when you turn it off. It always continued to play until I paused it before.

By the way all you guys freaking out about this, go to home screen. click settings. go to music. go to the sleep/wake button section. change double clikc for: to Play/Pause. Now when you wanna listen to songs, click power button 1nce to put in sleep mode, then double-click power button really fast once in sleep mode to unpause your song and resume listening. lol, i figured this out 2 days after 1.1 update..

Entire library of music erased off ipod after sync

Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gb running IOS 8.2
For the 4th time since updating to IOS 8.2, whenever i try to add new music to my ipod through itunes, when the ipod syncs with itunes, ALL of my music is erased off the ipod.
Manually manage music and videos is selected. I do not have itunes/ipod automatically sync music. I have "prevent devices from syncing automatically" enabled.
So heres the basic rundown of what happens.
1-upload music to ipod
2-let music copy over
3-upload more music to ipod
4-ipod/itunes begin sync
5-syncing stops without copying music over
6-all music vanishes off ipod after sync "completes"
looking at my ipod music list in itunes, it shows all my music. when you click on them to play them, ! shows up next to ALL songs.
when you look at the music on the ipod itself, nothing is there.
this is what it looks like for the music that has be synced before, that has suddenly disappeared

from my experience, the music is still there. the database is screwed up when itunes recognizes the music, but the ipod doesnt see it.
what ive discovered, after the database crashes and everything is gone, see if you can find this info out. anytime ive had this issue, there are normally a few songs that wont copy over and itunes says "could not convert"(i have itunes setup to convert songs of high bitrate to aac 128kbps). when i go to delete those songs(because they show up on the ipod, but are greyed out), thats when the database crashes, and everything vanishes.
my fix for this issue is this:
unplug ipod from computer and turn off
close itunes
restart ipod
open itunes
plug in ipod
sync ipod with itunes
copy over one or two of failed songs
watch itunes start to sync, sit at "waiting for changes to be applied" for a few minutes
watch all my missing music reappear(over the course of about 10 hours, takes a few minutes to recopy 4000 songs)
annoying and frustrating, but until apple can recognize this issue and put a fix in, this is the best solution i can think of besides throwing my ipod at the wall and fix the solution permanently. but that wont get me very far because of my lifeproof case.

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it automatically returns to the artists screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this..?

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it immediately returns to the artists screen. Can anyone help?

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media. Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing. So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop. If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

Turning off ipod is a strange design

Turning off ipod by holding play/pause seems a really dim-witted design to shutdown anything. For one it does not ALWAYS work.
Has anyone complained about this design?
For crying out loud can’t an Apple engineer come up with an on/off switch I'm sure if they do China can make it. Heck make it an option I'd even pay extra for it.

Adding another switch just to turn off the ipod would add parts and that lowers reliability and increases cost, so I can see why the ipod doesn't have a dedicated on/off switch.
On the other hand, it should be smart enough to turn the screen off when commanded; if it still has disk housekeeping to do it could finish that up in the background, then actually turn itself off.
I decided long ago to just forget about this whole issue, I just let my ipod turn itself off when it is good and ready. Having it run on for a few extra minutes uses a miniscule amount of battery anyway.
Don't worry, be happy.

Why my music turns off on iPad when I use another app?

WWhy does my music turn off when I use another app?

What Music? You are aware that there are many ways that you can play music on your iPad other than by just using the built in Music app, aren't you? Many apps that play music will not run in the background if the app that you are using has sound.

No. There is no built-in software functionally to directly access an iPod from an iOS device, such as an iPad.

Does turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data

When ever safari crashes I understand that it keeps that data and next time you connect it appears as diagnostic data. I always turn off/on my iPod touch when that happens. My question is that turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data? Is it necessary to turn off the iPod to stop crashing?

I've not seen anything official but it is true in my limited experience that turning the iPod touch off does seem to clear that crash info. In my first two crashes I was offered to send info to Apple the iPod touch was connected to my iMac. In my latest two crahes I've turned the iPod off before connecting to iTunes and was not offered the chance to send info to Apple this time. Will continue to monitor.

How do i play music from my ipod shuffle gen 4 on external powered speakers

Can I play music from my IPOD shuffle gen 4 using external powered speakers? If so, how do I hook it up?

First a curiosity question. Why do you want to play through the computer? Why not use headphones?
Ok, now to your question. I have never done this before, but this intrigued me. I did some experimenting and got it to work. Here is what I did:
1) Connect Touch to computer.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Your device will show up in the left panel.
4) Click the little triangle next to your device to expand it.
5) You now have access to the different content on the Touch.
I have played stuff from Music, Movies and my playlists. Everything works the same way as if it was on your PC.
Hope that helps and good luck!

Any fix to iTunes music turning off when iPad 1 put onto charging stand?

Any fix to iTunes music turning off when iPad 1 put onto charging stand?

Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this: go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.
