Turning the iPod Mini OFF

Using the click wheel, I can pause easily but turning the iPod off is really difficult. I don't know whether I'm holding the Pause button down too long, not long enough or if there's an easier way.
It seems when I turn my iPod off the battery lasts longer than when I pause it and it falls into a deep sleep.
What can I do to make it easier to turn my iPod off?

Hi Sparklefufu;
I was having problems shutting down my iPod Mini. Then it got itself into a state where it needed to be reset it. I wasn't able to get reset to work. I brought to the Apple store and they reset it. They then asked me to reset it. It appears I was applying too much pressure. When I applied only enough pressure to make the switch click it worked. Now the shut down is working for me every time.

HT4060 I can't find a definite answer anywhere regarding whether or not you need to turn the iPad mini off before charging. So my question is should I turn the iPad mini off or leave it on before charging? Thanks in advance.

I rarely if ever turn my iPad off. I charge it when the battery is low or at night while I'm sleeping. Even then I close the Smart Cover and let it sleep but I do not turn it off. It doesn't matter when you charge the iPad.
The most efficient way to charge the iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.

How do you turn the iPod Classic off?

My mum can't turn her iPod classic off properly, can u help?

A long press on the Play button makes it shut down.
If it doesn't respond check the Hold switch.
If it still doesn't respond press Menu+Select for about 6 seconds to reset the device.

Turning the iPod Touch off.

Whenever I turn off my iPod Touch 32gb and turn it back on, it starts off with recovery mode, and then it makes me restore the iPod on iTunes. This has happened quite a few times, and everytime I restore I lose all my songs and apps. Is this supposed to happen?

IM having the same problem. What happened to me was i tried to update my ipod from 2.2.1 firmware on a 2gen ipod touch, to FW 3.0. in the middle of the update (the bar on the pod was about halfway complete) i recieved an error message, the pod went black, and HAS NOT turned on or ANYTHING since then. NO hard reset, no restore. NOTHING is working. Plugging into the comp and it says the USB has encountered an error, but no resolution. I Tried to plug it into the wall socket for about 5 hrs and still no action from the pod.
It seems to be a FW issue of it not installing completely/properly. SOoooooOoo... where do i go from here???

What steps do I need to take for the iPod mini to remember the last song?

What steps to I have to take for my iPod mini to remember the last song that I played from an album when I turn it on again, after I have turned it off.
Whenever I turn my iPod mini off, it seems to go back to the main menue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how long you are leaving it turned off. If it's more than enough time for the iPod to go into deep sleep, then when next you turn it on, it restarts with the Apple logo and returns to the main menu.
If it's only for a few hours that you leave it turned off, then the iPod should resume from the point at which you left it.
I don't know for sure whether the "remember playback position" in iTunes works after the iPod has been in deep sleep.

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.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

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.

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

Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

Dear All,
I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
how to do this on both operating systems?
Thanks & Regards,
Boudy,

The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

Does anybody know where i can download the IPOD MINI SOFTWARE

i recently bought an ipod mini off my friend but he gave me no cd with the ipod mini software. i dont need the itunes software i have that but i dont know where i can download the ipod mini software, any help will be amazing helpful and welcome, thanks

Yes it could be. You should perhaps restore it using the updater from the link I gave you.
Install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then choose restore.
This will return the iPod to factory settings, erase the hard drive, reload the software and ensure the iPod is Windows formatted.
Then you should be good to go.

I turned the sync option off on itunes, and problems happened....

Hi!
Today, when I was adding some music to my iPod, I decided to turn the sync option off on my iPod, but all my music on the iPod was erased.
Now, when I try to click/drag songs onto my iPod in iTunes, the "music" section of my iPod won't highlight, and when I try to restore my settings, I get this message:
The iPod "Corbin's iPod" cannot be synced. The disc could not be read from or written to.
Help me?
