| iPod nano won't shut off... My girlfriend's 8gb nano will not shut off. It doesn't always do this, only randomly every 2 weeks or so. I have tries the menu/center button reboot, but all it does is reboot the thing and I still can't turn it off. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!! -Chris

| I believe you just have to hold down the MENU button (CORRECTION: it's the PLAY button, not the MENU button...thanks icemanjc) for a few seconds and it will shut off. I don't have my nano in front of me but that's always what I do to shut it off. Holding the MENU and center button is to do a reset on the iPod.

| If you hold the play button it will shut off.

| Plug it into your computer and restore the software in iTunes.

| I had a similar problem with my 30GB 5G iPod. I traced it to only happening when I tried to turn it off in the first few seconds of a track playing. Let the timer run to 10 seconds plus and it shuts down fine. I don't know if this may be the same in your case. |

| Try holding Menu+Action(middle button) Then during bootup hold rewind+action to enter the test console. do an auto test. Some times this sorts some software issues out. Goodluck Charlie
