My ipod nano won't turn off

Hi nichola!

Have you tried resetting your iPod? Hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 7 seconds.

Sometimes, if you toggle the "hold" switch (located on the top of your iPod) several times, your iPod will work and turn off again.

Also, try connecting your iPod to your computer, ejecting it, and disconnecting it. Try this sequence several times, and see if it works.

If these steps don't help, have you tried restoring your iPod? -> Restoring your iPod

I had the same problem, so no ipod batteries on the way to work this morning 😟 Found a solution in another post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2736591&#2736591, go to Settings, Main Menu, and enable the sleep link. Now you have a sleep option on the main menu to turn the ipod off. I found that once I had used this link once, holding down the play button worked again as well. Not sure if it'll still turn itself off though, which it had stopped doing.

My ipod nano won't turn off. I tried turning it off by pressing the menu and select (center) key at the same time. This turns it off for a few seconds. Then the apple logo appears and turns the nano back on. help.

I am having a similar problem. MY Nano will not turn off. I have done the restart, I have updated the software and I have done a complete restore and noe of this works. When I press teh Sleep button on the main menu, nothing happens, it just stays on. Can anyone help?

I had the same problem with my ipod video. First,try the 5R, restore,retry...etc. If none of those things works the only solution left is to send it bak for repair. I am expecting to get mine bak in few days.

my ipod nano wouldn't turn off, i tried reseting and everything. then i tried just letting the battery run down
while it was playing and i charged it back up again and it turn off! i don't know how long it will work but it works now

Try holding the MENU and SELECT (Center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it. Then see if it'll turn off.

Cheers!
