Why is my ipod shutting off randomly?

i dont get why... i dropped it a while ago and it cracked but it just started to shut off randomly

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings      
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod shut off randomly... any help??

    someone please help meee. my ipod shut off completely randomly & i cannot get it to turn back on! i have tried pressing & holding every button... nothing works. if anyone has had this happen to them & knows what to do, PLEASE HELP ME!

    So you have tried a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once as well as hold these two buttons together for up to a minute.
    Otherwise, see the article for information and assistance.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the iPOd:
    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
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Most likely it's broken, but it MAY have a corrupt operating system. So try Restoring it using iTunes.

  • When I try editing my photos, like cropping, why does my iPod shut off?

    When I try cropping certain photos in my photo library, sometimes my iPod will get a gray screen with the loading symbol in the middle, then it will just shut off! I don't know why it does that and it gets very annoying. Please help, thank you.

    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

  • Why does my ipod shut off on it's own?

    Why does my Ipod touch shut off on it's own?

    In answer to the question you asked - to save battery power.
    If however, that's not what you meant, then please supply more information, such as -

  • Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • SCREEN SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY

    My screen shuts off randomly
    at least twice a day.
    This is what I get after force quit my laptop and turn on.
    I went to apple store and they said just to open up and check what is wrong cost $300~350
    and to fix this problem and replace inside (they said it might be the water spilled inside but that never happened so i don't know what he is talking about.....) is going to cost $1240
    They already replaced my hardware one or two months ago and I dont get why this suddenly happens when i didnt not even spill water.
    i feel like there should be cheaper way.
    and the guy who was trying to find out what the problem is with my laptop
    seemed like he doesnt know anything about this.
    Does anyone recommend some other way so i dont have to waste my $1240+@ with a problem that they are not even sure...?

    Mine just started doing this as did a coworker's (she has a 4 not 4S). We're both on Verizon. I just updated to the latest Verizon Carrier settings and then it started so I thought that was the issue, but since you're having this since March, I don't knwo any more. Prior to this though, mine was taking random screenshots when I'd hit the home button.

  • Ipod shuts off all sound when connected

    ipod shuts off all sound on Mac Book when connected.  Any ideas of why this is happening?

    Perhaps you may get better response from the MacBook community forum
    http://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook
    But in the Sound panel of the System Preferences, what is output source displayed? ( "Digital audio out"?)

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

  • Shutting off randomly, then freezing on the apple

    So for no apparent reason, my ipod touch keeps shutting off randomly, without asking me to slide to turn it off. When i try to turn it back on, it freezes on the apple and goes black again. My battery is close to fully charged, and it turns on when connected to my Computer. Has been dropped 2-3 times but this was many months ago. This problem recently occured yesterday. No water or liquids have gotten to it either. Please help!!

    i havent got a solution to your problem sorry but i have the sam eproblem i havent dropped it or anything though. my problems started after i updated the latest software for my ipod, just woundered if your problem started soon after u updated it?

  • My macbook shuts off randomly, how do I know what's causing this and prevent it from happening again?

    My macbook shuts off and I kept a journal for it because mine's got complications.
    July 1, 2014 (Tuesday)
    I spilled a cup of choclate milk on my keyboard, it was soaked! But my battery was drained so I know nothing had short out. So I turned it over and never tried to turn it on.
    July 2
    I went to the nearest apple center and asked them to clean it for me. (I knew it wasn't a good idea to clean it myself) They put it in a plastic bag but I asked them to open it as soon as possible so I know what parts are affected. They told me they'd take a picture of the inside for me and go back after an hour. Milk was still inside everywhere so I asked them to take it in.
    July 8
    I called to get an update on my mac and they said it wasn't economically practical to repair it because they recommended a full system replacement. I got depressed and accepted my Mac's fate. But what's annoying is I put my mac in on July 2 and they only tried to clean it in July 5 which makes me think that was the reason my mac was irreparable.
    July 9
    I took my mac and tried to find another opinion but I showed the diagnostics from the apple store and they said they couldn't fix it. My parents were getting ready to buy a new one.
    July 13
    I realized that my mac didn't have charge when milk spilled on it so I tried to charge it and BOOM IT OPENED. They keyboards were sticky and it takes a moment before my computer reacts to the trackpad but it works! Even all the keys works! But it doesn't charge.
    After lunch, it was workingp perfectly and my batteries were at 30% charge! I was really happy!
    (in the interval my mac works perfectly, it stays for normal 7 hours when battery is charged fully)
    However at July 19
    There was no electricity for four days (A typhoon came in the Philippines) and my battery is about 7% so I went to the public market to get it charge while I wait for electricity. I charged it for about 3 hours and sideways because it was inside my backpack while it charged so noone will notice it. When I got home and opened my laptop, it shut off randomly after my desktop appeared after start up. So I was sad.
    July 20
    I found a solution online to use the option-shift-power button my mac opened and worked normally!
    July 21
    My computer was normal in the morning then in the afternoon it shut off again after I waked it up from sleep. Tried option-shift for about 3-5 times before it worked with varying intervals from 5-20 minutes each
    July 22
    I get nervous when I use it but it worked perfectly I was even able to edit with Final-cut pro and HD clips.
    Wednesday
    Worked perfectly in the morning but in the afternoon, after waking it up from sleep it won't turn on tried the option-shift then I tried resetting the SMC for about three times (my mac is a unibody) but it didn't turn on the whole evening.
    Today Thursday morning July 24
    I tried to reset SMC first thing in the morning after the thing won't turn on. After about an hour, I tried to turn my mac on normally and it opened. So what I did is to back up all my files. (It took the whole afternoon) and at night I ran diagnostics (D during start up) and no threats were found
    Haven't been experiencing the trouble, as of the moment I'm writing this Jul 25, Friday (12:13 AM) HK time Philippines.
    So what I'm asking here is what do I do to make sure this doesn't occur anymore. I probably written a very detailed log. So what else (diagnostics and other) should I do to prevent this from happening again. School starts in August and I will need my laptop to work perfectly to let me go through college with less burden. Thank you and I hope you reply. Any more questions about details on my Mac will be answered

  • Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

    Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

    Thanks for the suggestions!
    Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
    I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
    & I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
    I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
    But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!
