Turning off iPod Touch

When I turn my touch off...I just hit the on/off switch real quick and the screen goes black. Would it be better to hold it down until the red slider appears? Does either way make a difference?

Why would it be ok to tap it if I'm going to use it tomorrow or in a month? It seems like a delay in usage is a delay no matter the the length.
So what I really need to know is what is the difference between the two...tapping it off and powering it down?

  • Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

    My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

    If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

  • Can't turn off ipod touch

    I have a brand new 8GB iPod touch. No matter what I try I cannot turn it off. I hold the top button down and nothing happens. I hold the top and Home buttons down simutaneously for over 20 seconds and the only thin that happens is the Voice Control app turns on. Very frustrating.

    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.

  • How do I turn off iPod Touch?

    I've got a hand me down iPod Touch and I'm trying to connect to Time Warner's wifi hotspots.  They suggested I completely power the iPod off but I think I'm just putting it to sleep. Thanks!

  • I have tried turning off ipod touch to restore as forgotton password and this hasnt done it

    forgotton password and have tried resetting it by turning off and on . this hasnt workd help

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPod to (preferably) the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • Unable to turn off iPod touch 3 after IOS5 applied

    Hi All,
    after I applied IOS5 my itunes started to sync my songs. At the same time some apps were updated and now my iPod hangs. I am unable to reboot the device, holding the power on switch (the button above) will not show the red bar for shutdown.
    Any idears?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    It's called a reset. Always a useful thing to know about!
    Though personally I never bother actually turning mine off, I use it so frequently that it is silly, plus it takes more battery to turn it on and off than it does just to put it into sleep mode.

  • Time change when I turn off ipod touch 8gb

    I configured the time one day and when I check the other day it has another time.

    Make sure the touch and the computer you sync with are set to the same time zones.

  • Is it bad to turn your iPod touch off every night? If I don't, the screen will be blank/distorted.

    I just got my new iPod touch from Fry's electronic, and just last night, I put it on sleep thoughout the whole night. I wake up, press the home button, and it lights up a gradiant grey-white. It happened the other day when I was playing with Draw Something. I then tried turning it off, and it took forever. But now its working. So I was wording if it's bad/not the best to turn your iPod touch off everynight, and if you do it?

    I just let my iPod sleep overnight. I turn on airplane mode to minimnize battery drain.

  • When i turn my ipod touch 4g on it goes from the apple logo to the white wheel then to a blank white screen, please help

    After using itunes to restore it i turned my ipod touch on and it stayed on the apple logo for a few minutes then it would change to a spinning wheel on a black screen then the screen would turn white and the process will repeat. I can still put it in dfu mode and recovery mode but they don't help. So hopefully someone in this community can help me. And this all started when i updated it to ios 6.1.3 from 6.1.2. and also my computer and itunes dont recognize it

  • 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.

  • What do I do. I just turned my iPod touch 5 on for the first time in about two  months and it telling me that it is disabled for 23,079,134 minutes please help

    What do I do. I just turned my iPod touch 5 on for the first time in about two  months and it telling me that it is disabled for 23,079,134 minutes please help anything would be good I also have not backed it up for a while now

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • How to turn off the touch interface sound?

    Model: HP Touchsmart IQ826t
    Finally get to use this machine the way it was intended now that Windows 8 is out, but the touch interface sound is bothersome. Seems as though it should be the easiest thing in the world to turn off.. but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Ive searched the web high and low..even seen others ask this same question with no response whatsoever.
    How do I turn off the touch interface sound?? (the 'beep' sound made when my finger makes contact with the screen) Ive tried going to the now updated 'Pen and Touch' (previously HP Touchsmart Configurations) settings under the 'Hardware and Sound' in the Control Panel and..nothing.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
