Turning the IPod off

Normally to turn the IPod off, I hold down the pause/play button and it shutsdown. It doesn't happen anymore. It always stays on.... Any help?

Unless it's a hardware problem, you may be able to by trying a reset.

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

is there a difference between turning off the ipod by holding the play button and selecting sleep in the main menu?

As far as I can tell, it's just another way of turning the iPod off.

My ipod was opening an app, and stuck - now have blank screen, i cannot even turn the ipod off - it is not responding?! now what???

I was opening up an app, and the ipod changed to a black screen, with a line of white on the bottom. It is backlit. It is also 'stuck' like this. It will not respond to pressing any buttons - it won't even turn off!!! What really *****, is that it's only 2mths old!! (8GB touch)
HHEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou ckuan - but the laptop that this particular iPod is attached to - is currently in the fix it shop after being stood on!!
After much frustration, the battery finally died - I left it to recharge for 20hrs, and it now works fine - thanks for your quick responses!

The menu button will not work and I cannot turn the ipod off using the top button either. What do I do?

What can I do to fix this?

Try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
- If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
- If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

I have Ipod nano 3rd generation that I use to listen to audiobooks in my car. I turn the ipod off when I get out of the car and when I restart the ipod, it doesn't start where I left off. Any suggestions

I recently received an Ipod nano 3rd generation, which I use to listen to audiobook in my car. Every time I leave the car, I stop the Ipod and take it with me. When I return to the car and start up the Ipod, it does not pick up where I left off in the book. Any suggestions?

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
However.. it's not Logic related.

Hello Juno2162,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad. I recommend following steps in the tutorial below to address an issue like this. I think the step to reset your iPad may be particularly useful in this scenario:
To reset iPad, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

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.

Can't turn my iPod OFF!

For the last week or so my iPod won't turn off, which is a bit of a twist on the regular "I can't turn my iPod on" posts.
Until now it would turn itself off after about five minutes unused, or I could turn it off by holding down play/pause, but now it just stays on 24/7 whether it's playing or not.
This is a bit of a pain as I need to make sure it's plugged in overnight or the battery gets run down.
Any ideas?
Oh, and yes I have checked the "hold" switch isn't on.

I just tried the enter button and play button together - that turned it off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it comes back on again!!
On the third or fourth attempt it turned off and stayed off so maybe I'll just have to think of it as an extra game - test your skill, can you turn the iPod off in less than three goes!

My dad gave me an iPhone 3G to use as an ipod touch but it's not picking up wifi. ive tried everything to like resetting the network settings turning wi fi off and on mutable times, turned the phone off on and on. What do i do?

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

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.

Your modem dose not have access to the internet,maybe the modem's main broadband cable is disconnected.
You should contact your ISP for access to the internet,he will come to your house and configure the modem...
