Updated ipod, now it wont turn off.

last week i updated my ipod with the latest software and now when i hold the play/pause button it wont shut off, i have tried to reset it but it wont work, what can i do?

Here are some things to try if your iPod doesn'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, there are a few things to try that are outlined here:
-- 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 several times.
-- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
Again, this includes connecting the iPod to a power source while you're toggling the Hold switch back and forth (this worked for someone who's iPod wasn't responding to anything)
-- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod (which is why it is more as a "last resort"), but often clears up any issues you might be facing.
For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article: Restoring your iPod to factory settings

    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.

  • Ipod 2009 160gb wont turn off

    I have the late model 160gb ipod classic and one day I went to play the music and the settings went back to the original (no shuffle or repeat). Since that time the ipod will not turn off.  If I press the menu and select buttons that does not work.  Also the forward button is not working and the enable disk (pressing select and play).  Everything else is fine, i reset the settings, the songs play but it just does not turn off or advance when button is pressed.  All other buttons work.  Is this a hard drive issue?  I have searched on the internet and there is nothing on this topic.

    I let the battery drain so it would reboot...that did not work either.

Now the iPad wont start up at all and iTunes will not recognize the iPad.  Please help!

  • 30GB ipod video wont turn off

    all of the sudden after a month of having my ipod video, it wont turn off
    any idea what to do? will resetting it even help??
    it plays music just fine and nothing wrong with the connection to my computer

    Like the guy said, different levels. You only have to hold down Pause, and then the system goes into Sleep mode. The problem is that you probably moved your finger when the button was pressed. Don't. Keep your finger still on the button. This happened to me oh so many times
    Otherwise, add a Sleep item to your Main Menu. Hold down Menu for a few seconds to go back to the Main Menu. Go to Settings > Main Menu. Scroll down to "Sleep", and turn it on. Now go back to the Main Menu, and choose the Sleep option.

  • My i pod wont turn off ?

    yeah so i let it charge for like a day, which ive done before, but for some reason now it wont turn off so i cant take it any where cause i dont want the battery to die
    its like ill sit there for pretty much a whole song holding the pause button but it still wont turn off, but the pause button works cause i can pause a song
    ive tried:
    -charging it some more
    -leaving it alone for a wile (all day, like not playing anything)
    -hooking it up to my computer (its been a while cause i only do it when i download stuff)
    -putting it on hold (my friend does that to turn it off)
    so yeah is there any other way to turn it off? or has this happened to anyone?

    I just press menu+select(or enter or whatever its called) for about 5 seconds. that should restart the ipod( i think it clears the cache but correct me if im wrong). Anyways, do that and you shouldnt have any more problems (at least for a while)
    Just do that everytime it doesnt want to shut off, thats what i do

    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home

    - Next, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and if iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPo via iTunes.
    - If iTynes does not see the iPod, place the iPOd in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPOd.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
