Videos freeze up, i cant turn my ipod off

i have a few movies on my ipod, real ones that are like 2 hours long. some times they play just fine but other times the freeze about every 30 seconds for about 2 seconds and when i starts playing again there is no sound. i found that if i rewind the movie back to a place where it was before it froze then it will work again but 30 seconds later it will freeze. does any one else have this problem? its very annyoing and i would love a solution.
i have a second problem. when i stop a movie and i want to turn my ipod off for a little i am not ably to turn it off. i tryed pressing and holding the play button and also clicking alot on the sleep button on the main menu but it just wont respond. i can do other things, just not turn it off. i can finaly turn it off after about 5 minutes of trying. i noticed that there is a hummung noise when i put the ipod to my ear during the time i cant turn it off, and when the noise stops i can.

Hi.
have you updated with ipod updater 3-23-06?
I've heard that the problem where video play stops and then audio quits was resolved at least for some people with this update.
when the ipod makes independent noise that is usually the harddrive working. sometimes after a while of video playback the ipod gets warm and it won't respond to sleep commands until it cools off and the harddrive stops running. then you can turn it off.
when that happens have you tried resetting? (holding down menu and select buttons until apple screen comes on). I think that might help it respond faster.
good luck
the warm ipod thing may not be absolutely factual.

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.

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.

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!

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

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.

Help! Going on holiday in 6 hours and I don't know how to turn my iPod off!

Hey there,
I'm going on holiday in 6 hours (In an aircraft) and I have an iPod Photo, and I might be stupid but, I'm paranoid about the aircraft crashing, and on top of that, I don't know how to turn my iPod 'off'
There isn't time to make it turns itself off over 48 hours as I only have 6 >_<
Does putting it into 'sleep' (Holding down the play/pause for a few seconds) and sliding hold have the same effect as 'off' or as good as?
Thanks for everyone's precious time and thanks in advance!

Thanks,
That really helps my confidence =]

My sleep/wake button is sinking in so its not working is there any way to turn my ipod off

my sleep/wake button is sinking in so its not working is there any way to turn my ipod off

nope. If your under warranty apple will cover it. If not find a repair shop. You can try looking for an app but if it turns off then you cant turn it back on!

Can't get off the settings page. Cant turn on or off

Hullo there. My current problem is this, whilst on the ipad an alert popped up advertising some game or other for free d/load, when i tried to d/load it a message came up saying(i'll paraphrase here!) "you dont have enough storage left to d/load, go to settings,general+view your storage space, i did this and deleted a few of the "not so clever games" believing this would free up some space. Unfortunately i cannot get of the"settings" page i'v tried turning the ipad off to hope fully bring it back to normal but it will let me access any topic on the settings page but nothing else at all. i'm not heavy handed with it so i cant see how it could be a "button"issue cos i'd be able to switch it off. now i'v exhausted my solutions i dont know what to do, let it run out of power? it would come back to the same page when re-charged i think. Anyway i'v just plugged in the charger and it made the usual beep and shows its charging but thats all i can do!. I would appreciate any help or assistance in solving this wee dilemna that anyone in the ipad community can give.
                                                                                          Thanking you in advance

You sir are obviously a knowledgeable man on these things, firstly i thank you for your rapid response,and secondly for your answer, which i did and voila! my ipad is back to normal!. thank you for your help and my wife is now yours for the asking should you so wish! lol
                             Bye now+once again thank you!

I can't stop my music without turning the ipod off

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.

Hi, I have a recurring problem with my ipad3. The battery is showing 100% however my ipad constantly shuts itself down and comes back on. When its on it freezes and I cant turn it on or off, or runs really slow. Only had it 2 months, is this usual ?

Hi, I have had my ipad3 for only 2months and have now had this problem 3 times. The battery is fully charged to 100% and when I try to switch it on the slider screen appears as normal, it only stays on for a short time then a small circle appears and the ipad switches off.
Eventually it switches itself back on, then continues to switch off and on again.
When the screen opens it runs very slowly and I cant open anything before it closes down again.
Today this has been happening constantly, and have not able to use it as I could not get it to stay on for any length of time, very frustrating!
I plugged it back in to recharge again and was able to eventually press both buttons to reset it again. It now seems to be working ok again.
Can anyone tell me if thay have had the same problems, or is this a faulty ipad?
Its the first Apple product Ive owned so dont know if this is a common problem or not, be grateful for any info on this, thanks

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I cannot turn my Ipod off

I havent been able to turn my I-pod off the last week.

A few times within the last month, my ipod hasn't been ablw to shut off or play.
I can go fwd and back to the next track, but the song won't play. One time the song timer was moving but nothing was playing. (nothing wrong with the track). Other times, the ipod screen just said 0:00 for the song. I fwd to the next song, and it too stayed at 0:00.
Then I couldn't turn it off!!
So each time I had to re-boot it (menu and select). I then get an apple icon and the iPod is back to working mode. Sort of - because now it has been drained of power, and shuts off. Everytime I've done the reset thing to help me shut it off, my ipod has been fully charged - and then the battery is empty!!
help. will I need to send it back??
