Constantly shuts off while playing music

My 6th generation nano constantly shuts off while I am running and listening to music. I have tried pressing the sleep button and turning off the shake to shuffle. Please help!!

This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano.

My nano (4G) shuts off while playing, doesn´t respond until plugged in, then apple logo appears and it restarts. Restore worked for a week, same problem today. Says it is 50% charged.

My Nano shuts off in the middle of playing music/podcasts. It won´ respond until plugged in, then apple logo appears and it restarts. I restored factory settings and installed the newest OS which worked for a week, but it´s the same problem today. It happens while at 50% power or better (according to battery icon).

It sounds like the battery itself is going bad, which is likely given the age of the 4G Nanos. You'll want to have your iPod serviced by Apple or a third party service center to have them swap the battery out. Otherwise, it's time to start investing in a new iPod.

IMAC SHUTS OFF WHILE PLAYING ITUNES

My IMac shuts off (like the plug was pulled) while playing ITunes and after the computer has been on for several hours. I am running OSX10.5.8. Any suggestions? My fan would not quit running a few weeks ago and I used the Program "clean my pc" and that corrected the problem or at least I thought it did. The fan does not audible run (loudly) any longer.

Shutting down like that MIGHT be a sign of overheating.
Suggest that you download XRG http://www.gauchosoft.com/Products/XRG/ which monitors your computer's processor temperature and hard disk temperature, and also shows fan speeds.
Run XRG and watch what it does as you run iTunes leading up to the moment that your Mac shuts down. See if the temperatures are increasing, and if they are, the fans should also increase. If the fans don't run as well when the temperature rises, then they might be broken and can be repaired (typically).

Laptop doesn't boot or shuts off while playing games

Sometimes when I boot my laptop it passes through the welcome screen then goes to black and stay there. This has been happening ever since I spilled tea on the keyaboard and had it fixed by an outside repair company. Sometimes I am able to get in and start the computer but when I try to play games (Pay Day 2) the computer again goes to black. I thought it was due to an overheating problem the repairmen might have caused but I went ahead and changed the thermal paste on the cpu but to no avail.

Hi @VarelaHP ,

My ipad shut offs while I'm playing a game or on the Web

Here lately my ipad will shut off while I'm playing a game, on the web or basically doing anything. What could be wrong? Has anyone else experienced this?

What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was when I was online ,but have to start games over.

What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was when I was online ,but have to start games over.

The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.

p.s. don't!

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

ITunes seems to be skipping/hiccuping while playing music during browisng.

Hello Everyone
So for the past month or so I experience intermittent "hiccuping" while playing music through iTunes on my PC. Songs don't skip in the traditional sense of skipping from one song to the next ... instead it's more like a blurp/drag. It lasts for about a second or two and then it stops. It happens mostly when I'm web-browsing. I've tried using another browser but nothing seems to help. my PC is three years old and it came with Windows 7. I've used Windows 8 since it became available so I guess that's about two years now, I'm on to Windows 8.1. My system has a 1TB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X4 640 3GHZ processor (I don't know much about processor specs but I thought I'd include it to be as thorough as possible). Of the TB of Hard Drive space, I've used less than 40% of it. I've run virus scans, malware scans, I've made sure my defrags and Windows updates are up to date. There was recently an update to iTunes in the last day or so - and I was really hoping this would be fixed - but the problem seems to be getting worse.
I'm to the point where I'm ready to download Google Play and just use iTunes solely for syncing my iPhone 5s. I cannot continue to put with playing music in iTunes with this problem. I'm at my wit's end. I've considered "dumping" everything on to an external hard drive, wiping my system and starting fresh ...
Anyone have any thoughts, ideas?

It may just be your DVD player. I have found
this
with some of my DVDs. They work fine on my player
and
skip on others.
That results from a high level of burn errors as a
result of low quality media and/or high burn
speeds.
Hmm, maybe. I never (knowingly) use crappy media.
I always use Imation discs (mainly because they are
fully printable - and I thought they were meant to be
good quality). Also, I cant see where to change the
burn speed. I always burn a disc image and then use
Disk Utility to burn a disc. It just does it
automatically and doesn't seem to offer any choices.
How can I get it to burn at slower speed? I'd
prefer not to use third party software if poss.
OK, you've got me worried now.
I've just checked this

and think I'll be off tomorrow to buy some new discs.
Thanks for alerting me.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

I'm having the same problem, even more:
- Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
- Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
- A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
- Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple - it just works"...
At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

Ipod cuts off while playing

Suddenly, my ipod within my iPhone cuts off while playing in the shuffle mode. Most times this occurs while I have it in my pocket and am moving, but I have no idea whether this matters or not. It will either cut off completely or skip to the next song after cutting off in the middle of the previous song. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

I have the same issue. The phone works fine if I am sitting around, no problems listening to hours of music. I ride my bike and have the phone in my jersey pocket and after about 15-30min it starts going into an auto pause mode to the point I can no longer listen. This is very annoying and I think it must have something to do with the motion sensing causing the pauses.

Touch screen doesnt work only while playing music.

While playing music, the touch screen does not respond. I can only change songs by locking, then double tapping the home button. The touch screen works fine for all apps and home screen. I can't change albums, songs or anything. I have not dropped the Ipod or exsposed it to water. Have no insurance on it. Thank you in advance!

Don't play songs!
If it has never been jailbroke, the following may help.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
