IPOD 5G 60Gig Stops playing when moved

Have a 5G 60 gig ipod that stops playing when its moved - even slightly. This problem is 'intermittent', in that I can sometimes run with it and it continues to play, but sometimes if I move it even slightly the song will stop. I can start it again - and it starts correctly from where it stopped. The majority of the time I have the hold button engaged. It doesn't matter if I'm playing a video, song, etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there is a firmware update or other software fix that corrects this I would appreciate a pointer. Thanks much. E.

You may need to reset it. Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few tries.

  • IPod no longer stops playing when a podcasts ends

    Starting with iPod software 2.1 and iTunes 8.0, my iPod Touch 1st Gen. no longer stops playing when the end of a Podcast is reached. It will start playing the next Podcast episode in the list although that is an older podcast that I have already listened to.
    Prior to these software updates, I would be listening to, let's say, the MacCast podcast number 100, when it finished, the iPod would stop. I could then go up the list and play a newer episode or switch to a different podcast. However, now, once episode 100 finishes, the next episode down the list is number 99 and it starts playing automatically (even though I have already listened to it).
    Is there some new setting I am missing? Is anyone else having this problem?
    Regards,

    It's a new "feature" of the latest firmware upgrade.
    I personally hate it.

  • IPod 160 GB Stops playing when jogging

    I am a new user and purchased a 160 GB Ipod recently. I have found that if I run with the Ipod, it stops mid run and will not play. If I leave it sitting for several hours, it seems to start working again. I have restored it once but this does not seem to have helped. Is this Ipod suitable for jogging or should I avoid this activity with it?

    The 160GB iPod is not recommended for jogging. Inside is a hard drive, which will struggle if it is jogged around too much, although I cannot see why it should take "hours" to recover.
    If you want to go jogging with an iPod, you would be better off with one that has a flash drive - that is, no moving parts, such as the nano. The iTouch has a 32GB capacity flash drive, although I don't know if it is classed as suitable for jogging. Perhaps someone else reading this knows.

  • TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

    Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

    And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
    Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

  • HT4211 why youtube stops playing when you want to see your facebook status

    i am a new user of iphone , i want to know why does youtube stops playing when you switch to another app, why cant it continue playing while we check someother app.

    Probably because Google did not program it to keep running in the background.
    Its up to the App developer to provide this functionality.

  • Sounds stop playing when user locks screen on iOS with AIR 3.9 Beta

    We built a simple application that should play sounds when in background and when the screen is locked.
    Since we updated to the latest AIR 3.9 Beta SDK, all sounds stop playing when the user locks the screen on iOS.
    The sounds resume when the screen is unlocked.
    - it works on Android
    - we use renderMode : cpu
    - we use UIBackgroundModes : audio
    - we use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode=SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
    - sounds play when the app is in background
    - was working great with AIR 3.8 SDK
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for reproting the issue, we have an internal already logged bug for this, which is under investigation at the moment.

  • Why does my music stop playing when I sleep my screen?

    Why do songs stop playing when I sleep my screen? If my screen automatically sleeps after two minutes or I sleep it with the button or iPad smart cover the music stops playing. It only started doing this after upgrading to 5.0.1. Is this just a bug with the new software?

    Thanks Rachel, I have done that and it seemed to have taken care of the problem, though my music videos in "Video" stop playing when my iPad sleeps automatically after two minutes... I am trying to find out how to contact apple about these issues directly...

  • My itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes down after about 5 min. im using windows7

    my itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes off after about 5minutes. im using windows7

    DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
    - IDE controler failure
    - Bad cables
    - Bad harddisk
    Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
    What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...
