I know this is silly, but how do I turn it off? Apparently I keep locking it, then I find the battery drained. Is it on when the orange is showing around button on top, or off, or just locked? I guess we lost the manual in the move.
Misha, you really can not turn the off in the conventional way. It does not have an on/off switch. The lock button just locks it from using the buttons/wheel for any input. Orange means its locked. You can put it in standby by pressing down on the play/pause button for a few seconds and the iPod will turn off, meaning it’s on standby. To turn it back on you press the play/pause button for a few seconds and it will turn back on. To turn it off completely you need to press down on the center button, then the menu button and it will turn off. Here is the user user guide Good Luck and let us know how it is going.
Hi I have an apple ipod 8gig Nano. It refuses to come on, but it does come on when I connect it with my computer or a docking station. Kindly help me and tell me how do you switch it on if you just want to listen to music with your earphones. I did hold down the ok button for a minute and still no progress. Regards Zunaid

Hold down the Play/Pause button until it shuts off, then lock the screen with the switch at the top of the Nano.
It is quite easy, hold down the play/pause button and it’ll turn off just like that.
Hi, I am Maneesh. So coming to your question. Step 1: press and hold play or pause button on IPod till the display off. Step 2: While holding button slide the button on top so you can see orange color. That’s It You successfully turned off your IPod. Thank You.
