Auto shut off? Stopping music completely?

How long is it before the nano automatically shuts itself off when not playing music?
Also, what is the proper way of stopping playback entirely? Is it just pressing the pause button?
Thanks,
doug

After a few minutes of non use the iPod will shut down.
Pressing and holding the play/pause button until the iPod shuts down is the correct way to turn it off.
Digital devices like the iPod have no need of a conventional stop button such as those you would see on a CD player for instance.

Is there a way to keep the Nano from auto shutting off?

This is probably a weird question because it doesn't really involve a problem per se. I am a drummer in a band. I am using my iPod 1 GB Nano to play an intro during our live shows and also play segways between songs because it is more reliable than a laptop. Basically each of my sound clips are in their own playlist so that once the clip ends it stops and doesn't go to the next song and I'm not trying stop it while I'm also playing the drums. But within a minute or so of finishing the sound clip the Nano shuts off. When I turn it back on it causes a small popping sound in the PA (which is undesireable). I'm wondering if there is a way to keep the iPOD from shutting off automatically. I haven't been able to find any settings that allow me to prevent it from auto shut off. Any suggestions? And just to clarify, it is not shutting off while playing the sound clip, but usually a minute or so after. So It's not like it is malfunctioning. But there must be some way to keep it from shutting off automatically.

Hi Jarame,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try putting your iPod on Hold. You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #60951 and Knowledge Base Document #60945 goes over The iPods Different Sleep Modes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a 2011 MBA currently running OS X 10.9.2. The household power in this area is erratic and subject to surges and full cut-offs. Do I need a UPS, is auto shut-off available?

Will the battery protect the MBA in the event of a power issue? Will the MBA interface with a UPS with a USB connection? Will this allow auto shut-off if the MBA is asleep? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are using your computer during a brown-out you won't notice a thing because it has a battery. If there is a power-surge one of two things will happen: 1) the power adaptor will handle it, perhaps getting fried in the process or 2) it will be overwhelmed and the computer will also fry. Plugging the power adaptor into a high quality surge protector is a very good idea. Note: surge protectors do 'wear' out. Some have warning lights that indicate this has happened but the techs at work don't trust them. They recommend that you give yourself a new surge protector on your birthday.

Iphone 4 auto shut off when battery 20% and lower.

My Iphone 4 auto shut off when battery 20% and lower. The phone is only 1.5 years old. Can I know why this happen?

Most commom reason for this is faulty battery. You could try Restore with iTunes on computer, at end when prompted, Set Up iPhone as New. If still problem and you have AppleCare, take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for quick free battery diagnostic testing.

Suddenly shuts off, turns on (completely reboots)

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, early 2011). My computer suddenly shuts off (fully charged, plugged in, no warnings of low battery or anything). When I turn it back on, it reboots completely (as opposed to restoring my session like it usually does if the battery dies) and says the battery is at 0%. This has happened a few times now. Does anybody know what it is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Auto Shut Off Feature Shuffle

Bought my wife a Shuffle so I could get my Classic back but now I have a dilema. She listens to the pod when she goes to bed and sets the Classic's timer for 60 mins to turn off. How do I get the Shuffle to turn off on a timed situation? Even if it had a one song and shut off feature. Can I rig some kind of a/c timer? Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry but a sleep timer, nor any other kind of timer, is not in the shuffle's feature set. Shuffles have been known to shut themselves off on encountering some sort encoding error in a music track...

How do i get my hp officejet 4500 g-510-g-m to auto shut off when computer shuts off

how can i get my hp office jet 4500 g-510-g-m to shut off when my computer shuts down. i manually turn it off but some times forget

Hello Caddilacman,
I understand you want to have the printer to shut off when you turn the computer off.
Well I checked out the manual for your printer and I didn't see the option listed there, so I consulted with a printer expert and they explained to me this printer doesn't have that function. So you would have to manually shut it off with power button the way you’re doing it now.
Here is the link for the user guide for the printer to show any other questions that you might have.

Blackberry pearl 8120 screen auto shut off

Hi,
The screen of my blackberry pearl 8120 shuts off automatically (almost once every day). When this happens, I have to press the start button and it would come back to the main screen with in few seconds and get registered with AT&T. I have updated the device software, removed the media card but still have the problem. Please let me know how to avoid this.
Thanks

My ipod touch shuts off during music for no reason

My ipod touch started shutting off in the middle of songs this morning - its fully charged and had been working fine up to this point. I shut it down and restarted it but that did not solve the problem - any suggestions?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try another USB cord? Can you charge your device, using the adapter?

Mac mini auto shut off

I currently have a mac mini Late 2012 Model and the machine will run for about 2 hours and then just turn off. I have Reset the SMC and cleared the NVRAM and PRAM and it is still doing this problem. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks
Chris

no more turning off. I did the following items you recommeneded.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Powerbook randomly shutting off, but not completely

over the past few weeks, my pb has intermittently shut down, as in, the screen will go black, and the computer goes silent, but it appears like it has gone to sleep, b/c the white light on the front (where you press to open it up when the top is down), but it is impossible to wake up the computer. to make matters worse, i can't turn it off/restart it with the power button - it just doesn't work. in order to restart the computer i have to unplug it from the power source and take out the battery (and press the power button so it realizes that it is not actually on, becasue the white light continues to flash until i do this). and then i can put back in the battery and turn it on. when it restarts, the date/time is all messed up, saying it is jan 1, 1969. any ideas about what is wrong? fortunately it works fine after all this...but i'd love to know if there's something to be done (its still under warranty).
thanks in advance.

If it's still under warranty, send it in for repair.
