Why does my 6th gen iPod keep pausing

It just randomly pauses and has done since I had it 4 years ago. I stupidly didn't take it back and stopped using it after a month cuz it did my head in. Just got it back out and wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix it or any other solutions?

Is it possibly pausing when the screen goes out while you are listening?

  • TS3474 Why does my 6th gen nano spontaneously lose sound?

    I wear the nano in a wristband when I run/exercise and any song could be playing and suddenly the sound just decreases down to no sound.  And after I attempt to adjust/turn the volume back up, the sound decreases to nothing.  I've tried to reset the ipod, turn off/on and it still doesn't function properly.  Why does this happen?  I've read that it could be because it is overheated because it is too close to the body however it is in a watch cradle so it isn't even touching my skin.

    I'm going to the apple store tomorrow for them to advise what the problem is...otherwise they'll be replacing it.  I bought this not even 6 months ago and I shouldn't be having problems.  Especially if it is overheating...what's the point of a device you're supposed to work out with that won't let you because it overheats??  WTH?

  • HT1338 Why does my 1st gen iPod shuffle not recognized by ITunes 11

    Why did it take me ten minutes to log into this web site.  The security pass words are rediculous

    Apple no longer supports 1st gen Shuffle.  They want you to throw it away and buy the latest gadget from Apple.  Your alternative is to use a PC, which will recognize your IPod. 

  • Why does my 3rd Gen iPod Touch still play through the speaker when I plug my headphones in?

    When I plug my headphones into my iPod, it plays through them, but it also continues to play through the built in speaker. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks

    - First see if it woks OK with another pair of headphones.
    - next, to rule out a software probem:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  It is liklely a problem with the headphone jack i the iPod.  There are third-party places that will replace he jack.

  • Why does my 4th gen ipod touch not find the same wifi signals that my macbook does?

    My macbook connects to btfon/btopenzone everytime,  but my ipod touch can only occaisonally recieve the signal and when it does will drop connection very often.

    Also, the Mac, if relatively new, will see networks that operate on the 5 GHz N band. The iPod only sees 2.4 GHz networks..

  • 6th gen iPod Nano does not play songs

    Today, for no apparent reason, my 6th gen iPod Nano has stopped playing songs. When I select a song, the Play button changes to a Pause button, just as it normally would if the song was playing, but the track does not play, and no time elapses on the song progress bar - it just remains at 0:00. If I fast forward through the song, the song progress bar remains at whatever time I advance it to. I've pressed Play/Pause repeatedly to try and get the songs to play, but nothing happens other than the Play/Pause icon toggling back and forth between playing and paused.
    This happens when I try to play any song or podcast on the iPod. It was able to play every song as recently as yesterday. All of these songs and podcasts play just fine on iTunes and on any other iPod, iPhone or iPad that I sync them to.
    I have restarted the Nano several times. I've also done a complete restore of the Nano from scratch. I've got the latest version of iTunes, and all of the other functionality works just fine on the Nano.
    Any thoughts?

    Problem appears to be solved, thanks to the downtown Portland Apple Store Genius Bar. Apparently there was some sort of conflict with the permissions for the music (even though I own all of it, and all of the media played just fine on all of my other iOS devices).
    To fix it, I went to the iTunes "Store" menu, chose "Deauthorize this computer" and followed the prompts. I then quit iTunes, restarted iTunes and double-clicked a TV show that I had purchased. This prompted me to re-authorize my computer, which I did.
    I then synced a couple of songs, and they played just fine. I restored the rest of my playlists, and I'm happy to say that everything is behaving a-ok now. Phew!

  • My 6th gen Ipod nano does not show up in Itunes or in My Computer

    I do not think that this is a problem with my computer because I own an older 5th gen nano and have never had problems with it before. Both my computer and Itunes has no problem seeing the older Ipod right now. I have followed the troubleshooting guides and I'm still stumped on why my new Ipod won't appear. I've read several disscussions and haven't found the fix yet. My newer Ipod has been connected to another computer before but I don't know whether it was a Mac or a PC, and I believe that is the problem. I was thinking maybe it would help if I completely reset my Ipod, I don't mind losing any music, but I have no idea how to if I can't connect it to my computer. Please tell me how to reset it to facory settings or if you think that something else will work I'm completely willing to try that too. Thank you.

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

  • I have an 6th gen Ipod that keeps making me restore it.  How can I fix this issue

    I have a 6th gen ipod that keeps making me restore it.  It says there is another application running somewhere else.  I just want my sons brand new ipod to work without paying apple another $45.00.

    Disable any and all A/V or Security software running on your system before syncing your iPod with iTunes and see if that helps.  A simple reboot your or PC may help as well.
    If you do disable any security software, make sure to re-enable once you have finished syncing the iPod with iTunes.

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Can you sinc 6th gen ipod w ipad mini without using a computer? Does apple have a cable?

    I travel a lot and I'd like to sinc my 6th gen ipod nano using my ipad mini rather than having to bring my asus laptop.  Is there an apple cable to connect the devices so I can pull the itunes to the ipad from the cloud and transfer to the ipod nano? Thanks C

    The answer is, "you don't".
    Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
    An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.

  • 6th gen ipod nano serial number not being recognised by support

    I have just tried to register my 6th gen ipod nano on Apple's website and I get a message that says the number is not recognised, recheck and try again.  At first used number from nano box, then tried again after connecting nano to computer (same number appears of course) but still not being recognised.  The fact that the serial number is not being recognised is not helpful when you need help from support as they also require this information before they will contact you.  Why is my nano's serial number not being recognised?  More to the point, how do I get apple to recognise it?

    Are you sure aren't mistaking I's for 1's or O's of 0s?
    If you head to Settings - General -> About, does it list the same serial # there?
