Won't Turn Off - Goes to Sleep Mode

Yesterday I went to turn off my Ipod Nano and it went to sleep mode instead. Every time I tried it did it again.
I read some other boards and tried the following options:
~Reset - toggled hold on/off, held menu and select buttons. Tried this several times, no luck.
~Let battery drain and recharged. Still no luck.
~Restored back to factory settings (with latest iPod updater). Still won't properly turn off.
I don't know what to do anymore =/. It seems I've tried everything. Anyone know?

Alittle unclear what your exact issue is, but "Sleep Mode" and "Off" are basicly the same. When you don't use the nano for a certain amount of time, it goes into sleep/off mode. When you are done using it and want it off, you press and hold the play/pause button til its shuts off (Or in other words is in sleep mode). After being off for abit of time it goes into "Deep Sleep" where when you turn it on the apple logo shows and it boots up

Why in the world did update 1.4 start turning off WiFi in sleep mode again?

This time, we werent even given a choice. It just turns off by design. Thats not cool! I really solely on WiFi at home because my EV connection at home is close to nothing. You guys can ask Sprint to put a tower in New City, NY.

I agree that some time ago you stayed connected.
I have the same problem now: twitter messages don't come in anymore when phone is in sleep mode.
Before they always came in directly when sent.
Apple should give us more options so we choose for ourselfves what we want.
It must be very hard to create an option: wifi off when in sleep mode yes/no ?
Also making a real copy of a picture that you have taken would be nice.
So when you delete the original, the copy keeps existing !

PLZ Help. PC won't turn off because of EAX Mod

Help! Ever since i installed my X-Fi Fatalty, when I go to turn my computer off, it says now ending EAXModule. After that, the computer won't turn off, but I can't do anything because it says the window station is shutting down. It is very annoying because all my settings aren't saved and I have to turn the computer off manually.
My system:
Athlon 64 4000+ OCed to 2.64 GHz
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2GB Kingston Hyper X
2 MSI 7900GT's in SLI
50GB Western Digital Raptor
Creative X-Fi Fatalty
Antec 550 Watt PSU

I'm also having a similar problem now, however, if I wait a minute or two the system does shut down. I'm using an ASUS M2N32 WS Professional board, with the my X-Fi Platinum card in the second PCI-X slot; I couldn't get it to work at all in the board's one PCI slot, and the first PCI-X slot has my RAID card in it (Areca ARC-0). My GeForce 7900 GTX is in the second PCI-E slot, since it's too big to fit in the first and leave room for the RAID card.
For all that, the sound card, video, everything seems to work perfectly except for this problem with the EAX module at shutdown. It's very annoying. I've tried stopping CTDetect from running at startup, I've tried completing the registration. Nothing seems to work, but I want my Creative applications. Any ideas?

IPhone turns off when in sleep mode

Hi my phone turns off after being in sleep/lock mode after a few minutes. to turn back on i have to hold the home and power buttons for a few seconds.
When the phone is charging it does NOT turn of in sleep mode.
My Info: iphone 2g..Fw 2.1
I read a few post on here and other forum sites that say it may be a hardware issue or battery issue....If your having this problem please reply to this post to let it be known if there is a hardware problem or just isolated incidents thanks

Hey SurgeCentral,
Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPhone?
Try syncing and backing up the data on the iPhone, then restore it and set it up as a new phone.

My iPhone 6 always turn off & goes in recovery mode

Last week my iPhone 6 started to just shut off by its self. It connected it with iTunes and it said the phone is in recovery mode. I held the power button and home screen button and it turned back on. Since then my iPhone 6 always keeps doing it. I restored it but it started again to shut off by its self. Till now i can always turn it back on by pressing the power button and home screen button but i don't think that's it's normal that my iPhone 6 does that.
Maybe you can help me!
greets Marion

To rule out a software issue, set it up again as new device, explained in this article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Macbook Pro turns off instead of sleep mode

Hello,
I'm having this issue for like 2 weeks now. It's maybe 2 and half years old Macbook Pro, battery has 88% health and 650 cycles (according to iStat Pro). I don't think it's battery issue, Macbook still runs several hours on battery.
I have tried resetting SMC (not sure if it worked, I haven't notice anything unusual like when you reset PRAM) and PRAM with no success.
Also when I turn computer on after it shutdowns like this, date and time are messed up. Could it be problem with "the small bios battery"? Because computer should keep these basic informations even if out of power right?
It's not a major issue, so just asking around.... Do not want to spent money on some costly repairs, would rather buy new notebook eventually (when other issues will come by).
Thanks
Davon

There is no "BIOS battery." You have a logic-board fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

My iPad won't turn off. It won't turn on either. It keeps going from the apple to a black screen. What can I do?

I can't get it to turn off. It just keeps going back and forth from the apple to the blank screen.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You use this method when the iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. This will totally erase the device, but if you restore on the computer that you normally sync with, you can restore from your backup when you are done - but only if you have a backup.
You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
See this Apple support Article on the 5Rs.

IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated! I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes. Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button. Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on! I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on. It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up. But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode. My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery. I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job. PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it. I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
Please please help!
Jennifer.

If you actually see a "6" error code, here's what it means. Disable your anti-virus and/or firewall.

Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode

Hi. My Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode with varying time between each instance. It usually goes for a few minutes or even hours without doing it and then will go through periods of fluctuation between the modes. I believe this to have started with a minor orange juice accident rather than it being anything software related.
Any ideas as to how I might rectify the problem? Thanks very much in advance,
Danny

When you say it goes into sleep mode ...do you mean you actually see the white pulsing light?
It may be that there is an application running (perhaps in the background) that is keeping your book awake. Printer software sometimes does this for example ...try logging out and seeing if it sleeps like that. If it does, then it very well may be a background process running.
You may find some items in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items that may be the culprit.

Macbook pro goes into sleep mode after few minutes and won't wake up

Since yesterday my MB pro suddenly goes in sleep mode while working and won't wake up. After reset the MB Pro goes into Sleepmode befor I get the log in screen. After resettin SMC and PRAM I can log in but after a few minutes, againg deep sleep. I'ts not a software isue I think because when I use my MB Pro's harddrive by firewire as the startup disk on an other macbook it works fine. anyone knows about this problem?

It sounds obvious but are you sure your power adapter is ok and the battery is charged. The behaviour sounds a lot like low battery sleep.
Press the check button on your battery pack - do you get plenty of lights?

My macbook pro won't sleep - if I select sleep it does so initially, then the disc-drive appears to kick in and it comes back to life. It also won't turn off (again, the disc drive kicks in) unless you hold the power-button down for a long period.

3G still won't turn off after hitting home and sleep button at same time. Any other ways to try?

And when you held them neither the red Off slider nor the Apple logo appeared?
If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out. The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either. I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button. Help?

I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem. I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared. I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.
