Trouble turning Ipod on

My Ipod does not want to turn on. I thought it was not charged so I plugged it into the computer, but it just shows the apple logo for about a minute or two and then turns off...only to repeat the same cycle. Any ideas how I can fix it or what might be wrong?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Trouble turning iPod touch screen off

    This problem started a few days ago. Sometimes (mostly at night for some reason) I have difficulty turning my screen off by the button at the top of my iPod. Pressing it once gives me the screen for turning my iPod off completely instead of going to a black screen. I have to press the home button and then press the top one to black out the screen. This has happened so far only after I change the music I'm listening to.
    Also, occasionally I am able to turn the screen black and it will turn back on about a second later though I didn't touch anything.
    Any help with one or both of these problems would be truly appreciated.

    (Never mind this post.)

  • IPod nano has trouble turning off

    Hi!
    I have a second gen 4g iPod, and I have so much trouble turning it off! Sometimes, it takes like 10 tries before I can get it to turn off. I've tried turning it off on a hard surface, but that doesn't work.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi cgmv,
    There are a few things that you can do with an iPod that won't turn off.
    First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
    Then, after you’ve verified that your iPod’s Hold switch isn’t on, here a few things to try:
    -- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step, as it can be more effective.
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    If a bit of "regular toggling" doesn't seem to do anything, try this:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
    3 - After you've done that for a little while (for perhaps 15-20 seconds), eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.
    -- Try letting your iPod's battery drain out. Use your iPod enough that its battery finally goes completely dead, asking for you to re-charge it.
    At this point, connect your iPod to your computer's USB port, or connect it to a charger, and leave it there for a couple of hours.
    Now see if your iPod will turn off after trying that.
    -- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod, but often clears up iPod issues you might be facing.
    For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article:

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

  • I am having trouble turning on my laptop

    am having trouble turning on my laptop after having a upgrade that said not to turn off the device. The device turned off by itsself and now doesnt want to turn back on. i need help

    Hello mmadrid13. Does anything happen when you try to power on the notebook? Do you get any flashing lights? Does the charging port light up when the AC power is plugged in? Also, does the AC power adapter have an LED on it? If so, what is the color?
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

    s anyone else experiencing trouble turning thier phone on after trying to update to the ios 6.0.1? I cannot access my phone at all...

    Sounds like their was some corruption that occured during the update. Have you tried connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it from backup (or to factory settings if from a backup fails)?  Use the instructions in this article to walk you through placing your device in recovery mode.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Otherwise, try DFU mode.

  • Trouble turning on and turning off

    A couple of months ago i had a couple of instances where my macbook would not turn on. second time it didn't turn on for like 15 mins then i hit the power again and it did without issue.
    i went to the genius bar. they couldn't find anything wrong so suggested i back up and then do a clean install of the operating system. i have not done that. i have not had trouble turning it on.
    lately i have had a few instance where it would not turn off. i get that little wheel spinning on the screen but that's it and i have to force it to turn off. i have been told doing the clean install is time consuming so i don't want to do it unless it's necessary. has anyone had this experience?
    thanks

    Hi
    It's worth resetting the SMC (and the PRAM while you're at it).

  • ICloud is having trouble turning on my email, what do I do to fix this

    How do I fix my iCloud email address.  iCloud keeps saying it is having. Trouble turning on your email,  try against the same thing happens. Help please

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,
    regan101

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • Trouble with turning ipod off

    I have a Ipod 30gig Video and when i go to turn it off, sometimes it will take me five to ten tries. I do it the way it tells me to by holding in the play button and sometimes it works perfectly; but other times it will take me many tries. I don't know what the problem is.

  • Do you have trouble with iPod Classic and Ford's SYNC?

    Anyone have trouble with Ford SYNC recognizing iPod Classic? When I first bought my Lincoln my iPod Classic worked perfectly--just like it should with Ford SYNC. But a few months ago, when I plug in the iPod using a USB cable I get the message on Ford Sync that says, "incompatible device". At first I thought it was a ford problem so I began testing using a 2010 Buick and a 2010 Lincoln Navigator. My iPod classic doesn't work in either. However, a iPod nano works perfectly in either car. Also if I put some of my music on a flash drive it works fine in the Lincoln. So, I'm convinced that the problem is some type of update that occurred to my iPod or to iTunes.
    I have tried several iPod Classics and several USB cables so it is definitely aiPod Classic software problem. By the way, my iPod Classics work fine by themselves--just not through Ford's SYNC.
    I'm pretty lost as to possible solutions.
    Thanks,

    I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!
