8 gig iPod nano shuts down when put on hold.

I've got a second generation 8 gig nano here that shuts itself off when you put it on hold. Turning off hold turns the nano back on, but it makes me then choose my language again as if it is the first time it has been powered up.
I've tried rebooting it manually and restoring it using iTunes, neither worked.
Suggestions?
Windows PC   Windows XP Pro  

That's kind of an odd issue.
You might want to try letting your iPod's battery fully drain down.
Then, when you've reached the screen on the iPod, indicating that it needs to be charged, let it recharge up, undisturbed for 4 hours.
Then, when you try operating the iPod, see if it still has that problem or not.
Other than letting the battery drain down, the only next option I can think of is sending your iPod in for a replacement.

  • My ipod nano shuts down when it gets unlocked. Why? and how can i fix it?

    Every time I unlock my Ipod nano it shuts itself off. I can turn it back on and get it to play music but it shuts of within a few seconds. If i manage to pick a playlist and lock it, my ipod will play it for hours but a soon as i unlock it the ipod shutsdown again.

    I advise you to consult Apple Support. If still under warranty, request for a replacement.

  • IPOD Nano Shuts Down When Fast-Forwarding Through Songs

    I am having an odd but unfortunately repeated problem: I have my iPOD set on "shuffle songs" which shuffles my entire library. Sometimes when fast-forwarding from one song to the next, the screen goes black and the Apple logo comes on. The iPOD restarts fine though. I would appreciate any insight you might have...not sure if I should call Apple or if its something thats known as a nano quirk.
    Thanks!

    Hi wackydream!
    This has happened to me before, too, (quite rarely, though. Once, maybe twice).
    It would just be an out-of-the-blue kind of thing that never returned.
    But with your kind of issue, you could first try resetting your iPod, and see if that makes any difference with the issue:
    First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side of the switch).
    Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
    If several attempts at resetting don't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.

  • IPod Nano shuts down randomly and doesn't restart unless connected

    This happened to me two days ago. I was working on a pool listening to a podcast, with the iPod in my pocket. I was wearing black pants and it was very hot, so I'm not sure if it's simply an issue of overheating, but what happened was while I was listening to the podcast the iPod completely shut down. I took it out of my pocket and tried to reset it holding the menu and center buttons, but the iPod wouldn't respond to this. The iPod was completely charged the night before so I'm sure this isn't an issue. I took it home and hooked it up to my computer and it worked fine. But today, it did the same thing, listening to the same podcast (TalkRadar) and wouldn't respond to the menu and center buttons again, but it responded to plugging it in to the computer. Something else happened, too, the iPod would turn on and off randomly even while connected to the computer and I would have to unplug the iPod and re-plug it back in. Does anybody have an idea of what the problem is? I want to know whether or not I should send it in for repair.

    If resetting or restoring the ipod does not work, take it to an Apple Store. Let the staff examine it. If you have Apple Care, call them.

  • My ipod keeps shutting down when I'm on exercise equipment

    I've had three iPod shuffles shut down this week.  It's very strange.  One was a brand new 4th generation.  I was on an elliptical machine at the gym and it stopped playing.  I never got it started again and it's not charging or recognized by my computer.  I've done everything it says online and it is just dead.  Same thing happened to another 4th generation that is about a year old.  But it has since charged and appears to work, but have not used it on exercise yet.  Then today, I was using an older 2nd generation iPod and it shut down 25 or so minutes into my exercise on this same piece of equipment.  Just went dead.  Could there be some sort of electrical thing going on?  Am I getting sweat into them?  I have the clipped to my shorts and wonder if maybe my body is some how disabling them? 

    Hi bw1960,
    If you are having issues with multiple iPod shuffles that stop responding during exercise, you may find the following article on resetting the iPod shuffle helpful. You may also want to try using them clipped to a different location, like an arm band, and see if the same issue occurs.

  • Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

    I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

    I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
    The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
    Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
    I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
    I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
    I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
    By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
    I hope this helps.

  • IPod nano Shuts Down my Windows 7 in the middle of syncing

    What the heck... I received this iPod Nano as a gift, moved all of my items into iTunes, only to have it repeatedly shut down my PC mid-sync.  I've seen this issue in threads dating back to 2010, but I haven't been able to find any posting that actually fixes it, and no formal bulletin from Apple. Perhaps I haven't searched hard enough or long enough, but I've certainly tried.  If anyone knows where an answer exists, could someone please re-post the link here?  iPod syncs 1/4 of the way through, then completely shuts everything OFF.  Have tried numerous times, verified as current all the drivers I can think of, checked for port conflicts (as best as I know how), shut off anti-virus... I'm about to give up and return it to Apple.  I'm using a Gateway Windows 7. 
    I'm also suspicious that it may possibly have something to do with the content (?)  I have a fully legal audio-book on CD that I'd sync'd to my pc, (and never had a problem syncing to my Droid) ... this is one bit of content that's never made it onto the iPod.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Shuts down when put into sleep mode

    Any idea why this is happening?
    When my ipod touch locks itself or if I put it into sleep mode, it will not wake itself up with the press of a button - instead, it restarts (black screen with apple logo in centre).
    It is only 12 hours old and was perfectly fine when running on the factory 1.xx software, it has only started happening since the 2.1 software was installed.
    Since, I have Restored it through iTunes which performs another clean install of 2.1 and it is the same still
    Weirdly, while it is connected to my PC through the USB cable, it behaves perfectly (waking up from sleep instantly with the press of the home button), but as soon as I disconnect it from the PC, it starts playing up again.
    If I set the settings to never lock, it performs brilliantly which is annoying as I now have a taste of what this device can do, but I just cant put it into sleep mode.
    Any ideas on what I need to do? Or is it a case of returning it to Apple?
    Thanks for any response

    Is the battery FULLY charged? If not, charge it and then see how it reacts...make sure Wi-Fi is off while you do this--I've noticed weird things when it's docked and plugged into my TV (with the new dock) and wi-fi is on--I get battery messages randomly and it eventually shuts down (even though it's plugged into a dock with power, that came from Apple and is the "latest and greatest"...)

  • Ipod nano shuts down after playing a few minutes

    I have an 2week old ipod nano and I updated it yesterday. Now it shuts down after a few minutes playing and I really don't know why. I worked perfectly before the update!!

    planb77 saved me!!
    He is right! i had exactly the same problem and didnt know what to do. I was really frustrated and was ready to send my new ipod back to apple store! 
    The headphones need a good push, you shouldn't see any metal whatsoever.. I was afraid to push it in case i broke it. 
    When you do it right you should hear a clicking sound.  Now my ipod works just fine!
    thanks a lot for the advice!

  • MacBook Pro shuts down when put into sleep mode

    Every time I put my Mac into sleep mode (plugged in or not, charged or not), it shuts itself down, and I have to restart it. I just got it (brand new) in August, so I know the battery shouldn't be bad.
    It's been doing this for about a week... I just changed to Snow Leopard yesterday, and downloaded the software updates and everything, but it still shuts down.
    Anyone know what I can do (short of sending it to Apple) to fix this?

    Okay, well I already used smartsleep.
    It fixed the problem I was having, but now my macbook started having the same issues again this weekend. It's happened twice tonight in the span of 3 hours.
    Do I need to uninstall SmartSleep then?
    And here is the report I get when the macbook reboots:

  • IPOD just shuts down when playing a logic wav. . .

    Hi.
    If i bounce from Logic as a wav and put the file in iTunes, the iPOD shuts down. Its always done this and i just got a new iPOD and it does the same.
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Cheers, Benji

    Check the sample rate and bitrate against what the iPod is able to play.

  • IMac shuts down when put in Sleep mode

    Computer works fine but when I put it in "sleep" mode in shuts down and cannot be restarted without unplugging and starting over. Once started it works fine again until the next "sleep".
    Anything I can try before backing everything up and heading for the Apple store ?

    Disconnect all devices except for the keyboard & mouse if you have not done so.
    Try this:
    Change the energy saving options, to put the display to sleep and the computer to sleep at the same time.
    Enable (check mark) put the hard disk to sleep when possible.
    Lock the padlock.
    Optional: Repair permissions &/or restart.
    ==============
    Check your Energy Saver settings to make sure they are correct.
    If your computer came w/a remote, test the remote sleep option to determine if your issue is repeated.

  • 10.5.7 Shut down when put to sleep

    I updated my macbook pro sr to 10.5.7 today and noticed that when i close the lid, it shuts down after about 5 minutes. My battery is about brand new with under 60 cycles on it. I am wondering if anyone else can verify if this problem is only mine or something others are dealing with. I am sure that this started today after the update, as I had the computer asleep all day yesterday while at school. BTW, the mac is unplugged when it shuts downs. Thanks for any feedback.

    Here is a log of what happened last night. It shut down randomly today also but there was no error report that I could find. I deleted the plist file as suggested but have not yet restarted the system. I am trying it now. Hopefully you have some ideas from the log. If you need more info out of it, let me know. What I have gathered is firefox is what is crashing. Just updated that same day as 10.5.7 I believe. Will see if it still shuts down with firefox off. Thanks for your help again Yang.

    Oh nm they changed the article to say they fixed the bug with the newest release from yesterday. Go download the latest version that came out yesterday and see if it helps you your PC. You probaly do have a dual processor. The new iTunes fixes that importing CD bug.
