Earphones hissing when ipod turned off

hi, iv had my ipod about 6 months and i recently noticed that when i turn it off (or it times out) the earphones keep hissing or make a crackling noise when jiggled.
surely no noise should be coming out of them when turned off? and the battery seems to run out a bit quicker as if iv been listening to it longer.
when i come back to it a day later the hissing has stopped.
does anyone know if this is normal or is there a fix?

Might be the firmware... had the same problem, upgraded the firmware and it stopped.

  • Playlists aborting when iPod turned off ?

    I've just updated my 5G iPod to the latest software and suddenly its started to reset itself when I switch off.
    So if I'm in the middle of a playlist, when I switch off(usually by pausing, then pressing and holding the play button until it switches itself off), when I switch back on again, there's nothing listed as 'Currently Playing'
    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs

    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

  • My new ipod nano does not  work when you turn off the computer

    I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

    Hello pepi95,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

  • Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

    Thanks iPod Whisperer--
    I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
    What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
    Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
    Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

  • When I turn off I get a battery sign with an exclamation mark?

    When I turn on I get the apple logo only nothing else . then when I turn off I get a horizontal battery sign with an exclamation mark within a triangle,looks just like a traffic sign .
    Thanks in anticipation Harveybonk

    Hiya,
    That is a problem with the battery in Older iPod Minis. If you have never replaced it, then I'd start thinking about it. My company www.dr-pod.com can do this for you. However, to cure your problem, you should leave your iPod connected to power for an hour, then you should see some activity on screen. Don't disconnect, leave it there for about 8 hours, to fully charge the iPod's battery.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Itunes randomly plays music when monitor turns off?

    I'm having the weirdest problem ever. If itunes is open, when I turn off my monitor, my itunes randomly starts playing music. This happens if my ipod is connected or not. It's kind of annoying. Is there a option that I can turn off this? thanks.

    That's not a built-in feature. You must have installed some third-party software that uses motion sensing to control iTunes.

  • Nano battery continues to drain when its turned off..why?

    my nano battery continues to drain when its turned off..why?

    Have you updated to the latest software? Connect to itunes and hit the update button on the summary screen for the ipod to find out. If there is an update, install it.
    Usually, your battery drains when your not using it because it is still playing. As of the 1.1 udpate, they have a feature that tries to preserve your battery life. If you unplug the headset, this feature works to save your battery. So with the latest update, if you unplug your headset when you are done listening, it should put the nano to sleep so that it does not drain your battery.
