My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • TS4036 My ipad has a message that iCloud back up has not occurred in 2 weeks.  The OK button is not working thereby freezing my iPad.  How do I fix this?

    My ipad has an iCloud Backup message stating "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks."  The OK button isn't responding thereby freezing my iPad.  How can I fix this?

    A reset should help: Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears release both buttons and await restart.

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • When I Share my project using QuickTime the top of my video is chopped off, how do i fix this?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    - Mac OSX; Premier Elements 11 v11
    Where is the audio in the project - numbered audio tracks, Narration Track, and/or Soundtrack? Any chance that you are using a XviD.avi file?
    - audio is either in the soundtrack , or in audio 2 when part of a video
    Besides the full properties of your source file including file extension, what are the full export settings that you are using presumably for Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG?
    - i was just using the default for MPEG, which is the NTSC DVD standard, file type MPEG2-DVD
    What player are you using? Does the file playback video and audio using the VLC player? Does the problem exist in a new project?
    - i have tried in quicktime and VLC, both have the same effect (picture works, staccato background noise).  I have not tried in another file, but will do so now.

  • Songs start where I last left off - how to disable this?

    When I shuffle music, I frequently skip ahead halfway through a song. Since I updated to 3.1 and am syncing with my computer (instead of manually managing music), songs begin where I last left off, even if I last left off that song in a different playlist or music session.
    Is there a way to disable this feature? Thank you.

    You can also check that the songs do not have the Remember playback position checked when you go to Get Info in iTunes for each song. You can also look at many songs at a time to view/change this setting.

  • When i plug headphones into my computer, the speakers do not shut off. how do i fix this?

    I am running Windows & on an HP. not sure of the model number. But the sound system is IDT. It worked fine up until about a year ago. And now whenever you plug headphones in, the speakers do not turn off, but yet the headphones still work. any solutions?

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I can't seem to rotate my screen while the rotation lock is turned off, how can I fix this for an iPod 5?

    I tried to restart my iPod and reset it but my screen still won't rotate what should I do?

    Are you trying with an app that support rotation? Not all apps support rotation. Safari does support rotation.
    If that does not rotate
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I've been using VMWare Fusion for my Macbookbook Pro (OS Lion) and it froze the other day. It couldn't force quit any program so I needed to do a hard reset by pressing the power button. Now VMWare won't restart properly. How do I fix this?

    The Mac side works fine but now the VMWare won't even open windows. After restarting it did an automatic StartUp Repair but after another reboot, it was just a black screen.

    Have you rebooted the Mac. Give that a try.
    If that doesn't work you could reinstall Fusion but if Fusion opens and you can get to the Library windows of Fusion I think your VM OS is toast.
    I make a habbit of copying the VM to another internal, yes I have 2 internal drives in my MBP, and to an external drive. I do this about once a week. That way if the Mac screws something up I have a backup I can use to overwrite the one that does not work correctly.
    Good Luck. Hope you get it working.

    I've chrooted into it and undid everything and yet it doesn't change anything. I've uninstalled splashy and v86d, reedited the conf files to their original form. Perhaps there is some modifications that I am not aware of that happened during the installation. Packages I installed were splashy-full, v86d, and 915resolution-static which I have all removed. Files I've modified include rc.conf, mkinitcpio.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and uvesafb.conf. Aside from pacman I ran the command mkinitcpio -p kernel26

  • HT5824 i dont know what happened but ALL my photos and videos from my computer just uploaded to my iphone and i have no memory left! how do i fix this?i think its the phot stream?

    ALL of my photos and videos have uploaded via icloud or photostream on my iphone now i have no memory left. how do i delete all these off my phone?

    Photo stream doesn't sync videos unless they are short videos added to a shared stream.  If not, you must have synced them to your phone or took them on the phone itself.
    Did you sync them to your phone using iTunes?  If not, are you running a Mac that is signed into your iCloud account and running iPhoto?
