Why does my iPod 4g turns on then off while on the charger?

My iPod 4g will show the Apple Sign then shut off and repeat. Why?

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.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    Why does my ipod keep turing off?  It works for a few minutes and then turns off automatically.

    If still within warranty, have an apple service center check your ipod or request for replacement. cheers!

  • Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

    every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

    Try the following fixes in order:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iPod keep turning off by itself

    why does my ipod touch keep turning off by itself?

    Is it running hot? There are thermal limits that will shut it down.
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Why does my ipod suddenly turn the volume down?

    im working out and my ipod nano turns the volume down by itself - i turn it up and it turns it down???

    I had the same thing happen.  Just got off the phone with tech support and I am having to get my second refurbished ipod nano.  I had to pay 65.00 for the first one and now it is doing the same thing!  Since this one was within the 90 days I don't have to pay another 65.00 but if the next one does it again and it's past the 90 days I have to pay again!  The thing is is that my first nano was probably given to some poor chump who's had the same problem and now they have paid their 65 dollars for mine which wasn't fixed.  They told me that they do not do repairs on something this small, so I have to pay for a used one!  It's crazy!  You know if Apple wants to be the best then make your stuff right the first time...and if you don't then don't make me pay to get one that is used and had the same problem!  Buyer Beware!!

  • Why does my iPod classic turn off?

    I've had my iPod classic for about five years now and about two months ago it started to act weird. Whenever I would press next too much I notice the battery depleting to almost the red zone, but I fully charged it that day.Before all of this happened I noticed that my iPod would always ask to be restored. Now, it seems to have gotten a lost worse. Before I could listen to my iPod classic for at least a whole day without needing a charge, but now I can't even do that anymore. I'd be lucky if I could listen to a whole album. I would love to try and buy a new iPod classic, but I'm a college student and broke so I really can't afford one. So any help would be great. Thank you!

    You most likely have activated the sleep timer.
    Setting the Sleep Timer
    You can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow for a
    specific period of time.
    To set the sleep timer:
    1 Choose Extras > Clock and then choose a clock.
    2 Choose Sleep Timer and choose how long you want iPod to play.
    When you set the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod
    turns off appear in the Now Playing screen on iPod.

  • Why does my iPod automatically turn off?

    When i turn it on just to play multiplay or a long game for hours, my iPod turns off. Any help will do.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Why does my ipod touch turn down volume

    I've had my ipod touch for a long time, but since a week it has been having problems.
    Whenever I start my ipod touch, it automatically turns off the volume.
    I'm not able to put up the volume with the buttons on the side.
    Whenever I turn up the volume, it goes back down again. Except for when I hold it down.
    What do I do now?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - 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.
