@comcast.net | my ipod photo won't turn off! i'm hoping someone can help. i tried looking through the posts but found nothing similar.
my almost new ipod photo, as of today, is not turning off when i press the play/pause button. however, when i got it home and popped it into my bose docking station, i was able to shut ot off with the remote.
i find this incredibly annoying. has anyone experienced this? do you think i should reset?
thanks for reading.

Canada | Are you holding down the play/pause button? It takes about 3 seconds. If that does not work then you will have to reset it. Hold down the center and menu buttons for about 10 seconds. |

@comcast.net | yeah, that's what i'm saying. i hold the play/pause button down FOREVER and nothing happens. this is my second ipod and i have never had this happen. do you know what causes it? i will try to reset. hope that works! |

Waldwick, NJ | Does Pause/Play work for those 2 functions, just not shutting off? |
|
hez
@comcast.net | that is correct. they work as pause/play.
i haven't tried the reset yet. do i lose anything when i reset? |

I had the same problem.
Resetting works like a charm.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the Bose Sound Dock because I had precisely the same issues. |

i had this same problem, typed 'my ipod won't turn off' into google, came to this web site, and the problem was solved, which got me out of a very bad mood

Mine doesn't always shut off when I have it docked, but it's usually pretty cooperative when it isn't. |
|
hez
@comcast.net | yeah, it ONLY shut off when it was docked because i could use the bose remote control. |
|
| I just had the same problem, and I do not use any dock with my ipod photo other than the one supplied by apple. I had to reset. This sucks. I noticed the other day that there is a new firmware for the ipod photo. I have not installed it yet, but I wonder if it takes care of this. |

Orland Park, IL | My wife's resets all on its own sometimes. I'll turn it on and the apple will display and then it comes on. Maybe I'll give that update a try too. |

Orland Park, IL | I think that the update is only an update for the shuffle and Nano. I read somewhere that the software is the same for all other iPods. |

Re: my ipod photo won't turn off! This may sound stupid, but are you sure the hold switch wasn't on? You can plug a remote into the iPod, and even though the hold swich is activated on the iPod itself, you can control the iPod with the remote (which has its own hold switch). |

I have the Bose Sound Dock and my ipod has won't turn off either... has anyone with the sound dock had problems with photos disappearing? Sometimes I'll take it out of the dock and all the photos have gone. |
|
| I just had the same problem with my ipod, resetting works like a charm. I found that while it wasnt shutting off that the battery drained very fast. But all's well that ends well. |
|
| I had the same problem, and the reset worked for me as well. I also use a sound station.
Thanks a lot for your help! |
