Why can't my 160GB Classic turn off when it's in the universal dock?

When I have my brand new 160GB Classic in my about 4 years old Universal Dock, I can't switch it off. When it's not in the dock, I can switch it off just by pressing the lower key the ordinary way.
When I had my about 4 year old 60GB iPod in the dock, I could turn it off when in the dock, but this doesn't work with my new iPod. The screen keeps saying that the battery is loading or loaded, even when the back light is switched off.
How can I completely turn it off when it's in the dock?

Hi Thebestest1v1er,
Based on your description of being able to Safe Boot (holding down the shift key) but not boot normally, it sounds like your startup/restart issue may be related to one of the things that Safe Boot disables. You can find more information about them here:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

It may also be related to a disk or file system issue (as that is also something checked during Safe Boot). You may find these articles helpful as well:

  • IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

    I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

    Hi there,
    How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
    Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
    Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

    I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,

  • Why can't I see my Itunes library when I connect to the computer?

    I want to see what songs are in my Ipod with my new nano and with my mini, when plugged in to my computer I had the option to see every song in my device. I can't see any of my songs when I click on the Music tab. I need to change some of the file names as they show up in all different places.

    scotty, you have to have your iTunes open and running to air play unless you subscribe to Match.

  • Muvo V200 turns off when trying to enter the FM Radio opt

    My Muvo V200 (52MB) stopped working. I was not able to turn it on: after pressing the power button the CREATIVE text was displayed and that was all. To solve this problem I've reinstalled the firmware (.2.03e version). The player is ali've now, but the FM Radio stopped working. When I try to use the FM Radio option, the player just turns off.
    How can I solve this problem? Is there any way to install an older firmware vesrion?

    Yes, I did - with no result.
    But your advices lead me to one more solution, of which I hadn't thought before. I've tried to install the latest firmware (.2.03) in the recovery mode. And guess what? My V200 is fully functional again.
    I'm not quite sure if it was the recovery mode or the slightly different file version which made the trick. This time I've used the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe file (without the "e" suffix). But I'm almost sure I've also tried it in the normal mode before, which lead me to the broken radio function as in case of the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e.exe file.
    What are the differences between MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03 and MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e? After extracting these files I can see that their contents differ.

  • Why does my iphone 4 turn off when i remove from the charger?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs keep turning off when i sync it with itunes like it tells me to when updating to IOS6?

    please help

    Hi Luke.Wilkins6,
    It sounds like you are pressing the top Sleep/Wake button and the phone seems to shutdown rather than go to sleep, and occasionally youll see a purple screen rather than the Apple logo when you start it. I would start by resetting the phone, with these steps:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists I would use the following article to backup your device to iTunes and restore it from your backup. If the issue persists, then restore it one more time as new using the same article to isolate to the backup file itself.

  • Ipod nano 4g works good as locked. turns off when unlocked

    works good as locked. turns off when unlocked

    If you have the Hold switch ON and it's connected to power, the iPod is ON...  What happens when you disconnect it like that?  Does it stay on for any length of time?  Does it immediately turn OFF?
    If it immediately (or within a few seconds) turns OFF, I'm not sure what's going on with the Hold switch, but your battery is probably worn out and not holding a charge. 
    If it stays ON, you are saying it will turn OFF if you move the Hold switch to the OFF position?

  • Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
    With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself.  Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

  • Why is U2's new album turning off playing of all songs?!?!

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 5s 64GB, today as I was listening to music in shuffle mode,  I fast forwarded through a song and suddenly all audio stopped, I took the headphones off and tried playing without headphones, and it still didn't work, so then I turned off my phone completely restarted and I could listen to music again. After a few songs the music turned off again. I repeated the process. I was pretty upset at this point, I had noticed both times that the new U2 stuff was there when it stopped playing, I don't really care about U2 being put on my iphone although I would probably remove them anyway I only like stuff I've chosen on it.
    Anyway then I restarted again, and then I started playing, went forward through 10 songs without a problem and then back to the U2 song Cedarwood Road, and I noticed a couple things
    1 it didn't play, even though it was set to play ( I had assumed before that songs were playing but not making any sound. I put the song forward by a minute, pressed the pause button and then play, the tracker went all the way back to 0:00.
    2. When I went forward again to a new song, I experienced the same thing - it won't play.
    I then turned off the phone again, turned it back on, went to the music app which started at Ted Leo and the Pharmacists again, I then went one song back to Cedarwood Road - but it was no longer there!!! First of all clicking the back button just kept restarting Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, I instead had to click multiple times in quick succession (  approx. 10 times ) to go back the next song, which was no long Cedarwood Road but the song that was before Cedarwood Road in my shuffled tracks. I then went back a lot of tracks to get see what the **** had happened when I got to California ( there is no end to love ) and again - song stops playing, I cannot play other songs. I went back before that track by a couple tracks, restarted went forward a couple tracks the song has again disappeared from my track listing.
    Now - IF this is Apple's solution to people complaining about U2, well then they just turned a free album giveaway into inserting active malware onto people's phones, and I guess I'm one of the lucky winners.
    If this is part of how it worked in the first place I can certainly understand why nobody wanted the gift, which I should point out that gift in danish means poison ( also marriage, hah hah).
    I think someone  from the company actively putting malware on people's computers should contact me and help me get it off, and also identify the problem so they can fix it before it harms any more of their customers.

    I just fast forwarded through the tracks after I had restarted again and while the California song was gone from my shuffle order the Cedarwood Road song was back exactly where it was before.

  • Can't get Filevault to turn off

    I can't get filevault to turn off. I go to system preferences and click turn off and it looks like its about to then its comes up wit a message saying cannot turn filevault off...error...then it says its going to stay on my home folder..I need to turn it off so I can acess my Pro Tools program...also I think that is why some other applications are acting funny...like itunes keeps saying its library is damaged and makes a new one everytime i start the application...also when im on safari it keeps asking about a keychain...

    Hi mom, the best solution would be to create a new admin user account and restore your data from your most recent backup.
    The damaged FileVault image is encrypted data within a disk image file. None of the repair utilities will be able to do much with it if you aren't able to enter your password and have the volume available in its unencrypted form for repairs. So if it won't mount then back-up the sparseimage to DVD or another hard drive just in case technology makes it possible to recover later and get on with your new <empty> user account.
    System Preferences > Accounts > "+" to add a new user.
    Click the Security button on the user account screen and check the box at the bottom "Allow user to administer this computer"
    Because FileVault images are not generally recoverable, you should at least consider disabling it for all the other accounts on the system as well or setup a regular, frequent backup for each sparseimage file.
    Live and learn.

  • 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.
