Why did my ipod turn off and become unresponsive?

I have owned a Blue 32gb iPod touch 5th generation since december of the year it was released. It was functioning properly. However all of a sudden, without warning it became unresponsive. It was in sleep mode and i was waiting on a text. However when i attempted to unlock the screen, with the home, and then the lock button nothing happened. I also plugged my ipod in to charge, even though i know it had about 60% battery. Nothing happened. I logged into my icloud on my computer, and it said all devices were offline. I attempted to turn my ipod back on several times to no avail. Nothing i have tried thus far has worked.

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.

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

    It also has a tendency to quit imovie alot I don't know if it is realted

    Hello! It's possible that a heat related event is shutting it down and if set to restart after a power failure could be the reason it restarts. There could also be other reasons. Tom

  • Why cant i restore my iphone and why does it keep turning off and on by itself

    hello all
    i just would like to know why my phone keeps turning off and on by itself
    and why i cant i restore it on itunes
    many thanks
    al

    What worked for me, is going to the camera app, switch to video, turn on flash, and record.  Let the phone record for about 10 minutes.  (your phone will probably keep reseting itself) but that is okay, let it reset, and go back the the camera app and repeat.  what you are supposed to do is let the phone sit there and wait for the back to feel sort of hot. stop recording at about 8 minutes and plug your phone into itunes, it should be charging, and once you do so you can then set your phone into DFU mode.  This might not help you, or it will.  I just fixed my iphone today, that had the same problem as you.  so keep trying and it will come back to normal again!  Cheers!

  • IPod turned off and on for the first hour

    When I plugged in my brand new iPod Nano for the first time to the cable into my nice iMac, it turned off and on for the first hour with the phrase on screen "Do Not Disconnect." I am guessing that the reason it was turning off was because it didn't have enough juice/power. But then why was it turning on? After an hour it finally had enough juice to stay on. What gives? Do I have a defective iPod? It works fine now. I've never had an iPod before so I don't know how it's supposed to work.
    Each time the iPod has run out of power, I get the same symptom. It turns off and on for an hour until it has enough juice to stay on.

    Maybe someone in the iPod nano Forum would know the answer? You've posted in the 'Using iTunes for Mac' Forum.
    You can find the Category page for the iPod nano here:

    Please note that is a Category page. You may want to select the First or Second Generation Category or select one of the Forums directly from the list.
    I have a nano but have not encountered your problem. Hope you find a solution.

  • 4th gen iPod turned off and won't turn back on.

    So, earlier today I had my iPod touch (4th gen) plugged into my electronic drum kit through a double sided auxillary cable. Nothing out of the usual. I turned it to a certain song I felt like jamming to at the time and it froze. It was a weird type of freeze. The screen itself was frozen, as was the sound, but it had displayed weird grey/purple static waves, like an old T.V. with the antennas slightly off. I tried turning the iPod off normally, when that didnt work I held the power and home button to reset it thinking it was some glitch that would go away. Only, it didn't reset and just stayed off. I've tried plugging it into my PC, no response. I've even tried plugging it into my xbox (which is one way I usually charge it) and it didn't respond either. As of now, it's a brick. I have no idea why. Nothing was out of the ordinary other then a random screen freeze/glitch.
    TL;DR I have an iPod that's turned off, it will not reset, go into DFU mode, and does not charge/is not recognized when plugged into anything. Anyone got any idea what I should do?

    It would appear that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • If you have problems with your ipod turning off and charging look at this..

    I have to send in my 80gb ipod video because I am having problems with the battery,I charge it until it says charged and in ten min it shuts off and when I try to turn it on it says that there is not enough battery life to even turn on so i called it in and they told me that I have short battery life and that I have to send it in and they will fix it...If anybody out there has the same problem call it in and they will replace it...and if you don't have the number here it is:1-800-275-2273

    hey man I'm glad they replaced it...but if you look
    most of the problems are with the battery or the hard
    drive...I know that people make mistakes and I do not
    expect it to be perfect,but some people expect for it
    to be working perfect...and those people tell other
    people that there product was defective,and that's
    how Apple loose customers..I didn't say I was Mad...I
    don't know why your getting mad, I'm sorry if I
    offended you, I was just trying to give Apple advice
    sorry.
    Not true, most problems are with software, then with the earphone jack I quote from a letter that I recieved from a service manager that I worked with several years ago who wrote me two weeks ago and I am quoting. "Although the percentage is small it seems that if I had to put it into words I would say that software glitches seem to be the number one problem with the earphone jack a close second. Although both are not a major percentage. All in all it is a great product." Not mad,and sure that Apple will be far better off with your advice. Maybe they will move up from the number one maker of the number one mp3 player in the world and make some serious money with it now that they have it. But be advised that they do not monitor this for advice. You might want to try here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    and I will run out and buy more stock.

  • IPod turned off and is restarting

    The iPod randomly turned off last night and tells me to connect it to iTunes, I did -- and it tells me to only restore it. And I have apps that I've passed and had for a long time and will they delete?

    The apps should be in your iTunes library.  The app data will be retored up until the time the last backup was made.  Yu can restore from backup.  You can alsways redownload the apps at no additional caost as long are you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.  You need to have the apps in the iTunes library before you restore from backup.
