none of this is really helpful. because my ipod touch froze, so i decided to restart it. well it froze on the restart screen where it says you can either “slide to power off” or “cancel”. well,the time still moves, and the little picture of the battery shows it’s connected whenever it’s connected to my laptop. and it also shows the wifi icon. so, i have no idea what’s wrong with it. help me out. please and thanks.

thanks.

It's worth adding that if your iPod refuses to go into Disk Mode and you hear a noticeable clicking sound, it's likely a faulty hard drive. If the unit is a Fourth Gen, however, the problem might just be corrosion on the HDD cable and will need cleaned periodically. Good luck & I hope this helps. ipod wont turn on

So, I’m reading these posts, which are all helpful. But it shows that this inability to turn-off an iPod is far from a new one. Then, I ask myself . . . so where’s Apple’s response or why haven’t they pushed a software download or fix for this? APPLE . . . are you monitoring this site?

Iâ€™d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

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.

Holding down the Play/Pause button for a few seconds should turn the ipod off unless its an ipod shuffle. I have a 30 gig Ipod video and run it on a pc. Every once in a while (every other time i try to turn it off) the play/pause doesn’t work. Then i have to hard restart it by pressing menu+center button a few seconds after that things seem to go back to normal. Flipping the hold switch never did anything for me but I imagine that could be an issue with some people. Also I set up my ipod to have a sleep button on the main menu, it only works after waiting on that menu for at least 5 seconds apple is so unintuitive.
