Turning off your iPod

I need help on this one. I have owned my iPod for 4-5 months and have had no problems with it until now. I tried to press and hold the "Play/Pause" Button on my iPod wheel but it would not turn off. What should I do?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Try resetting the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons at the same time for a few seconds until the Apple Logo appears. Should be OK after that.

What does it mean you try to turn off your ipod and it come backs on

Try:
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

Hi-
I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

I turned off my ipod and when i went to turn it back on again it showed the apple but thats all it shows.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

It may take several attempts.
After the iPod resets, wait about a minute. Now try turning if off.

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

HOW DO I TURN OFF THE IPOD MANUALLY

I COULD I TURN OFF THEIPOD MANUALLY A?
HOW DO I KNOW IT IS OFF?
AND HOW DO I REMOVE A SONG FROM MY IPOD BUT NOT MY ITUNES PLAYLIST

To turn off an iPod:
Press and hold the Play/Pause button on your iPod until you see the screen go black.
As for deleting content off your iPod: you cannot delete any songs or other items off of your iPod without connecting your iPod to iTunes, or at least your computer (there are some progras you can use to manage your iPod. Also, you can view your iPod in "My Computer", and alter it there).

Perform a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherise if that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod Touch from a backup via iTunes. See this article for help on restoring your iPod from a backup.

Turn off an iPod configured with Apple Configurator and in supervise mode locked to one application.

I have configured an iPod touch using the Apple configurator. The iPod is set in supervisor mode and I have configured it to start one of our own apps. It works ok. But I can't turn off the iPod holding the on/off button as usual. I dont get the turn off slider. I can only turn the display off by clicking on the on/off button.
I want to be able to turn it off completely to save battery.
/Per

I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

HT1430 How to turn off an IPod nano

How can I turn on an iPod nano

You've posted this question in the iPod Touch forum.
Despite owning both an iPod Touch and an iPod Classic, I (for one) have no idea how to turn on an iPod nano. Nor, since the title of your post actually says "how do I turn off an iPod nano", do I know how to turn it off.
The question asked in the other post (to which you respnded) is about the shuffle feature. So I suggest you start again, in the correct forum and saying what you actually mean, i.e. are you trying to turn the shuffle feature on and off, or simply turn the nano on and off?
Any by the way, it's a bad idea to put your telephone number in a public forum such as this.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox. Is there a way to unsubscribe from these?

It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?
