Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck.  My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep.  Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures???  If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

  • TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

    After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

  • When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one.  how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

    when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song.  This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

    Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

    Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
    At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
    After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
    So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
    This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
    So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
    Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
    In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

  • HELP: I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few mins, iphone will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. I have to hold the "home"   "off" button to restart the phone.

    Dear all, please hel!!
    I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
    To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home"  + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
    Can someone please assist urgently.
    My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
    Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
    Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
    What is the best work around for this?
    None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
    I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

  • Multicast stops after about 2 minutes

    Hi,
    We are testing IP Multicast, with Flahs media player 4.0.
    We set up the encoder and generated the manifest file.
    Multicast start, but we see lot of bufferring and video running fast.
    After about 2 minutes, the encode stops publishing to the server.
    We are using digital rapids as the encoder.
    Any idea this might be causing ?

    A few things to try:
    1. If you're using the 'multicast' application that ships with FMS4, it logs state transitions and event info to the app log as the server-side multicast relay (a server-side NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream) start up and redirect the ingest stream from FMLE into the Flash Group. I'd recommend reading through that and verifying that the server-side objects handling the relay into the Group are happy (i.e. not disconnecting or being closed down).
    2. The multicastplayer client SWF app has some flashvars defined in the HTML shim file that loads it. One of these is a debug flag. If you set that to true, you'll get some debug info surfaced up to your UI. This will include the various events the client is processing on its NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream that's being used to play the multicast stream out of the target Flash Group. Feel free to post those details back to this thread.
    3. If you're doing IP multicast, that won't work over the public internet. In that case you'll want to be using P2P multicast.
    Best,
    Seth

  • HT5007 Why does this app stop at about 10 seconds into a selected trailer then resume on it's own?

    Why does this app stop and resume?

    I believe the OP is asking about the Apple iTunes Movies Trailer app, so it is an Apple app.
    I think maybe the video playback catches up with the download and until the download resumes, the video is stopping. Just a guess at this point.

  • Audio stops after about 5 minutes

    After rendering/encoding, the sound on my finished DVD stops after approximately 5 minutes. It is fine on iMovie, and also is there in iDVD when using preview.
    In contrast to other posts in this forum, there are no slide shows on my DVD, and all sound comes from the camcorder together with the video.
    I am using "Create Disc Image", and I have tried both playing back with DVD player from that very disc image, and actually burning it on a DVD and playing it back from there.
    I have also thrown out the whole iDVD project and started from scratch by creating a new project from iMovie.
    Since my DVD is just about 60 min, I have also tried both "quality" and "performance" encoding - same result.
    The audio stops in the middle of a 4-min clip as defined in iMovie.
    I am using iDVD 5.0.1.
    This process (importing from camcorder, editing in iMovie, building menus etc. in iDVD, creating disc image, burning) is something I have done for several DVDs previously without problems (but maybe with iDVD 5.0)

  • Why does my music pause after about an hour

    Hi all. I am having trouble with my 7th gen ipod nano. After about an hour or so of listening to music, the device will pause on its on. I have to fully charge it again to solve the issue. If I do not fully charge it, I have to press and hold the ear buds into the jack to fix the problem. Oh and I am not using the original head phones. There seems to be a shortage of some sort. Please help.

    Hey Shamika,
    If you are having an issue with your iPod nano stopping play of music after one hour and being unable to resume normally, I would suggest that you first attemtp to reset the iPod. See this article for directions -
    Reset your iPod - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    7th generation: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
    If the issue is not resolved, you may need to restore your iPod to factory settings. Use the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • Why does my ping increase after a few minutes of resetting AirPort?

    I connect various phones and my Macbook Air to WIFI using my AirPort Express. I have been plagued with WIFI and ISP problems and recently upgraded my modem to try and fix this issue that persists to this day. I feel like I have narrowed down the problem to my AirPort Express.
    After resetting my Airport everything appears to be running smoothly. My download/upload speeds are adequate, I have a very strong WIFI signal, all is well. When I go to play online games I notice an increase in my ping within 10 minutes of resetting my Airport. It happens fairly abruptly - it is not an incremental change. For example I am usually jumping from ~100ms to ~450ms. This happens on multiple servers and can't be tied to one host.
    After resetting my AirPort my ping goes back down to normal but jumps up after a few moments. I have my Arris modem set to bridge, and I've tried connecting to the 5GHz channel through the router and there doesn't seem to be any difference.
    This problem started a month or so ago. The AirPort has worked absolutely perfectly for a couple of years now. It is really only the ping in online games that seem to be effected – my download/upload speeds are running well which has me stumped.

    Version 7.6.4
    Serial number C86HV4YPDV2R
    I really appreciate any help! I am out of warranty with the device to call apple and I've spent more than a lifetime on the phone with TWC.

    Wireless is extraordinarily complicated. It is more a wonder that it works that doesn't.
    Two follow up questions. First, I have taken both the phones in the household off wifi as well as my Roku and that didn't make any noticeable differences.
    It is worth a try.. it is wireless after all.. voodoo in another medium.
    your answer doesn't really help with two issues. My computer used to connect with no ping increase before this sudden change and why does this change start happening after a few moments of clarity and then skyrocketing pings?
    How old is your Express? Anything more than 3 years can suffer due to build quality.. apple is no different to other brands now. A sudden change can indicate poor internals.
    7.6.4 is lousy firmware.. test with 7.6.1 if that is possible. (newest ones may not downgrade)
    I personally have heaps of Extreme and TC but avoid the express.. it is expensive for what it is.. a very low end wireless AP that can double up as a router at a pinch.
    If you have an old Express that you upgraded the firmware.. you may not have noticed the upgrade coincided with the poor pings.. but it can happen.
    Also Mavericks.. if you upgrade installed mavericks it can have dire effects on the wireless.. even the latest update to Mavericks has been causing wireless issues. Mavericks and networking is somewhat akin to tin cans and wet string. With the string fraying.
    So reset to factory.
    Downgrade the firmware.. then reset to factory a second time..
    Test it with short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. NOT apple names.. since mavericks changed to SMB networking from AFP in previous versions.
    Downgrade firmware by holding down the option key whilst you select version number. Pick from the list that will appear.
    Test close to the Express..
    Test with no wireless security.. remember it is a test.
    Run the wireless diagnostics on the computer to see if it shows anything.
    About Wireless Diagnostics
    The reason for increase in ping times, can be link speeds dropping, WMM failing.. as it seems to .. or just plain old bad drivers.
    I have made huge improvements in things like latency in routers that allow actual settings on the wireless to be changed.. packet size in particular.. one serious issue here is Apple have not given us access to any settings.. in airport particularly but even in the Mac.. this stuff is hidden from end users.
