Re: my ipod photo won't turn off! The VA Canteen store at the VA I work at got in a bunch of these Ipod's and they had the same problem. It turned out they where overcharged and in this state they will not turn off. Apple tech support said just to cycle the battery through a full charge cycle and that should fix the problem.

Hi guys,
This is really interesting as I'm trying to find out why my 2 week old 80gb vide ipod won't shut off.
It won't shut off when I change the album and play the first track (it's like the harddrive isn't ready and when the harddrive stops quietly whirring after about 10 seconds it will shut off). Also, when i turn the ipod on after a couple of days of not using it and it's loading up, it won't turn off until the harddrive stops (about 10 seconds).
Is this normal or is my ipod a bad one??? It really wrroes me cause I've just spent £220 on it. |

its happened to me about 8 times now and iv only had it for over a month
4 of the times it happened after unplugging it from my computer
maybe i should have gotten the mp3 player that was just as good (if not better) than the ipod |

Re: my ipod photo won't turn off! Does iPod (30gb w/ video) shut off on its own if it's left playing untouched or does it just keep playing until the battery is drained? |

my ipod photo won't turn off! My iPod is kind of old, i got it 2 years ago. Sometime last year this problem happened and I charged it into an outlet and it fixed itself. But the same problem just happened to me today, nothing makes it turn off unless I dock it on my iHome and itll turn off then but besides that nothing works, WHAT DO I DO!? |

Re: my ipod photo won't turn off! Mine wouldn't turn off after I had it plugged into my docking station for a couple of weeks, I think as someone else replied on this forum that I had overcharged it.
I let the charge run right down, which only took a few hours as it wouldn't turn off and then recharged it using my apple plug and it turns off fine now by pressing the play/pause button.
I think the answer is don't overcharge it through a docking station as it doesn't seem to like it. Good Luck. |

The VA canteen store at the VA hospital I work at sold a bunch of this model iPod. A bunch of people had the same problem a call was put into Apple and they where told it was because the units where over charged. It is sort of a self correcting problem, just leave them on. I fail to understand why Apple didn't incorporate a battery management chip into these devices for this voltage/current range such chips are tiny, I am sure they could have found a place for them on the control board in these things.

Re: my ipod photo won't turn off! There are at least two diff probs here. 1) Ipod is hung and won't respond to turn off signal (pressing bottom of wheel) at all. This happens sometimes when, for example, your ipod is connected to a docking device and you turn it off while pressing bottom of wheel wheel - then you immediately unplug it the ipod, which lights it up again -- sometimes it will won't then respnod to a a shut off signal by pressing bottom of wheel. This prob has been recurring on opds for years and can be fixed with a reset.
2) When you press the bottom of the wheel, the ipod turns off for about a half second or so and lights right back up again. This prob has an unknown cause and is not fixed by a reset. If you restore, the prob will be fixed UNTIL you reload you music files onto the Ipod - then the prob automatically returns. Some suspect this prob has to do with a file problem and ipod's inability to appropriately deal with the file problem. |
