I'd try plugging it into the computer and see if that does anything, other than that, I guess you just have to let the battery die...

It seems to me that our ipods and my cell phone share the same problem.  I believe that the ipod battery varies so much due to the same reason as my cell phone battery.  The person from verizon told me that if a cell phone battery is charged for too long, the charger actually drains the battery of it's total lifespan.  So yeah, that's my answer.  Otherwise, you may just have a faulty ipod?

When restoring some iPod models with USB you will have to disconnect the iPod from the computer and attach it to the iPod AC Adapter to finish the restore (a graphic of a plug on the iPod will indicate if you have to do this. Some iPod models connecting via USB, including iPod mini (Second Generation) and iPod nano, do not need to be connected to the AC power adapter.\n\n   1. Open the iPod Software Updater application. It can be found by clicking on the Start menu, pointing to All Programs (Windows XP) or Programs (Windows 2000), and then point to iPod.\n   2. Select the iPod Updater showing the most recent date in the filename.\n   3. Connect your iPod to your Windows PC.\n   4. When it becomes available, click Restore. An alert box appears to confirm you want to restore iPod.\n   5. A progress bar appears on the computer screen.\n   6. When the restore process on the computer has finished, close the iPod Updater and look at the screen on the iPod.\n          * If you see an image of a wall power plug, connect your iPod to the AC adapter that came with it and plug it into a wall outlet and wait for the restore to complete.\n          * If you see a progress bar underneath the Apple logo, leave the iPod connected to the computer.\n          * If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod. \n   7. After the restore is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time. \n\niPod has been restored to factory settings and updated with the music and playlists in your iTunes music library.

You can't delete it directly off the ipod but you can open itunes and delete the song from the playlist you are using. then just update the ipod

you might not have the right generation of ipod. i would call apple support, if you have a fifth generation video ipod. if you do not have a fifth generation video ipod, you wasted five dollars because itunes will not give you your money back

service it thru apple.\nhttp://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/ \nthey will make everything free if it is under warranty, they ship a box to you, you put your ipod in it, then you ship it, they get it and tell you when they get it and when it was fixed [mine was within a couple of hours], they ship it back to you free of charge.\n\nnow if you aren't on your warranty or just don't want to have to deal with all that. go to your local apple store and trade your ipod in. i have done this twice, and i have also shipped mine to apple.

try downloading it from apple.com.  The software that comes with the IPOD becomes out of date frequently.

Delete the song from your shuffle and then put it back on again. If that does'nt work you should try resetting the factory settings and if that does'nt work it may not have dowmloaded the right way on your computer. Either way, good luck and I hope you get it figured out. I have a 40gb I-Pod and I love it!

Try holding the play/pause button (under the center circle button). That's how my iPod mini turns off.

Are you making sure that you are shutting it down and not restarting?  It is a very common mistake.

no, this isnt normal for an ipod. if it happened twice with two different ipods then the problem is your computer. there are viruses for ipods. run virus scan on your computer, configure your ipod with itunes. you may have to replace if a virus already got in there. \ngood luck
