Why can't I turn off my iPod???

Recently I went on a camping trip and charged my iPod in a friend's car with an apple charger. ever since I can't turn it off by holding the play/pause button. I've tried reseting it yet it just turns back on and I still can't turn it off. I even restored the iPod from iTunes. I tried running out the battery and fully recharging it and still have the problem. This is a refurbished iPod that Geek Squad sent to replace the one I bought that had other problems. What do I do??

Hi Fredburger,
You may need to try letting your iPod's battery fully drain down, all the way until you finally reach the "Low battery" screen on your iPod.
Then, when it's finally run out of charge, connect it to your computer, and let it stay connected and recharging there for a full 4 hours.
Afterward, disconnect it from your computer (be sure to eject it from your computer, if needed), and try seeing if it will turn off.
Any success with trying that?

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • New owner of MBP, why can't you turn off the keyboard backlight in Win 7?

    I'm a new owner of MBP. I have Windows 7 64bits installed on bootcamp. The keyboard backlight is really bothering me. I thought Boot Camp was out for awhile, and I don't know why can't Apple fix this backlight control thing? I downloaded that power assistant software and I liked it; however, I was turned off that it wasn't a freeware. What can I do to turn this backlight off permanently?

    Well... seems like pre-2010 MBPs all had 'non-disablable' keyboard backlights on Windows. Installing BC 3.1 won't help at all. You could temporary minimize backlight level, but not turn it off. And on just any ambient light change it jumps back to maximum. Extremely erratic
    A friend of mine got a 2010 MBP and he's able to turn backlight off. I've got mid-2009 model with BC 3.1, and I can't. My another friend has late-2008 model, he can't turn the backlight off, either.
    I agree, ideally powerplan7 should have been a freeware. However, although I did spend $10 on a key, I'm oh-so-happy right now. With backlight disabled And since there are no alternatives AT ALL, I'm glad they're not selling this software for, say, $25.

  • Why can't i turn on my iPod touch 16 GB 4th generation?

    Hi, i've had my iPod for 6 months now and it's been working fine but then today Nov 11th, i was just done updating a game and i went back on the apps store and i felt a electric shock and my iPod sloowly turned white. I reset it by pressing the home button and he power button at the same time and then it went black. The iPod was really hot, so i left it untouched so it could cool down. Now that it's cool down, it WILL NOT turn back on!!! I am upset and i've tried everything including connecting it to the computer and charging it. I know my battery was Full before it blacked out on me, so what is the problem and how can i fix it?

  • Why can't you turn off the new message indicator on any of the blackberry devices?

    i can't believe that i cannot turn off having my blackberry notifiy me when i get an email.  at the top of the homescreen i either get a "Message Count" or if I turn this off i get the little red asterik alert folder appearing, plus the mail icon gets a red asterik on it.  i don't want to see this and i know that many other users feel the same way. 
    has anyone figured out a way to turn this off?  if not, how can we let blackberry know they need to fix this in future models?  there are message boards all over the internet with this same complaint. 
    a little more background: 
    - the issue is on a saturday afternoon when i grab my phone to make a call, i don't want to see a little red asterik notifying me that i have a new message.  i also don't want to see a running count all the time.
    - i tried turning off the data plan part so new messages wouldn't reach me, but the problem with that is when i later turn the data plan back on, the new messages are not then sent.  they never each my phone.  seems the server tries sending them once and if the data plan is turned off they don't make it, but never make it.
    i hope someone at blackberry reads this and they make this simple change in a future model.  i'll upgrade to it immediately when they do.  i love the device but hate being constantly reminded of new messages.

    Hi dplindsey, and welcome to the foams!
    It's also time for the 1am Eaddicts meeting to start
    Here's the deal, Turn off all the notification, ring tones, led''s for emails.
    Go to the main homescreen and hit the menu key twice select make a folder.
    Go to your main message queue icon, highlight it and press menu, select MOVE.
    Move the Icon in to folder.  TA DA!   It's GONE
    Data plan is good so you can still browse the web. Emails are stil getting delivered so you arent missing any.
    What do you think?

  • Why can a thief turn off an iPad when it is in lost mode?

    So My I pad mini with cellular was stolen from my house.  Silly me I did not have it pass code locked in the home.  But as soon as I noticed it was stolen I put it in lost mode.  The thief did not connect it to a network.  Then about 2 weeks later they connected it to a network I am guessing they took it out of airplane mode and the cellular connected.  So It went into lost lock down mode.  Great.......But what good does that do me when all they have to do is turn off the iPad????? and then I can not track it anymore.  I mean come on What is the purpose of leaving the power button active when it is in lost mode?  All that does it make it so no one can use the iPad and I can not catch the thief.  Another great option for this would that it would also send a GPX file that I could get and then find out who has my iPad.  That movement file would give lots of info like was the person moving when they turned it on i.e. in their car driving down a street and then turned it off or was it at one location for 20 minutes then they turned it off.  Again what good is a lost mode that all you need to get around is a power button.... High tech....I would like you to meet low tech......

    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.

  • Why can't I turn off video stabilisation on the iphone 5?

    I'm sorry but this feature is absolute garbage. If I wanted to stablilise my video I'd do it myself, or hold my hand steadier. You basically can't film anything worthwhile without this crap ruining my video. As it's completely automatic, it basically doesn't work...like the auto focus on a camera. It's just terrible.
    Apple have desperately tried to advertise the camera on the phone to be great, so great you can shoot your own video projects on it...but you can't, because of this **** auto stabilising nonsense. Some people might want to use it, like those with overly shaky hands, or those who don't mind their video digitally zoomed in, but I do not.
    Please, give me the ability to turn it off so I can do a simple track of someone skating down the street.
    Thanks. 
    p.s. I also saw someone say "Why would you want to turn it off? That's like asking for a single core processor as opposed to the current one." No, this isn't the same thing. Idiot.
    p.p.s Also, if I can turn this off and I'm just too ******** to find it, then fine, I apologise for my outburst.

  • 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 can i turn off my ipod?

    ipod had turned off before, but now cannot turn it off. It continues to stay on. I've tried to use hold switch to see if that helps, but ipod still won't turn off, and it uses up my battery. Holding play/pause button on the click wheel doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone have an idea how I can turn off the ipod?

    Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it.
    Then see if it will turn off.
    Cheers!
