If the Sleep/Wake button on your iPod Touch becomes stuck or encounters issues such as delayed or decreased responsiveness, waiting for the battery to run out isn’t your only option to power off the device. The AssistiveTouch function enables you to turn off your iPod from the screen, and works without requiring you to unlock the device. Since AssistiveTouch requires iOS, it’s not available on the iPod Nano, Shuffle or Classic. If you own one of these models and its Power button does not work, you will need to have it repaired by an authorized Apple service provider. Tips Writer Bio
