How to Shutdown an iPod
- 1). Slide the "Hold" switch to the off position, so that the indicator is not showing any orange color. If the switch is already off, leave it there.
- 2). Press and hold the "Play" button on non-touchscreen iPods, except for the iPod shuffle. Release the button once the screen goes black.
- 3). Flip the device over if you are using an iPod shuffle, and slide the power switch to the off position, so that the green stripe is no longer showing.
- 4). Press and hold the silver "Sleep/Wake" button located on the top of an iPod touch and wait for the screen to display a red slider that reads, "Slide to power off." Drag the slider all the way to the right with your finger and the device will shut down.
