Why does my iPod 4 randomly shut off? I bout a belkin stand thing and I looked at the back of the box and it showed iPod but I didn't look at what generation. (it was also for iPhones) While using it, it would charge my iPod. After a week of using it, it now randomly turns off! Any solutions?

First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides
back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the
left, here's how you reset:
You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round
button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see
an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will
shut off, then back on.

Has the battery been charged lately? If not, try charging it first and then try to turn it on. If that is not the case your ipod probably just needs to be reset. Try pressing the center button with the menu button together and hold those two buttons together for about 6-10 seconds. You should get an apple icon that comes on before you will see your menu for your applications.

Try resetting the ipod while its connected to the computer by holding both the menu and center button at the same time for 6-10 seconds until you see an apple appear on the screen. You may need to repeat the reset. If this fails your looking at a hardware issue most likely. Good Luck.

You will want to attempt to force the iPod into disc mode before restoring. This should solve your issue.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off.
(Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"
If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
Please let me know if this did not resolve your issue. :)

I had same problem. Don't know the cause, but a recommendation to hold the on/off switch and the menu button down simultaneously for 20 seconds got it back up and running. Hope this helps for you.
