Thanks for the info. I tried both links but could not find an answer to my problem. *Is there anyone else out there who has the same problem?*
I guess not!
I sent this ipod in once to Apple and they said there was nothing wrong.
take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. *Show them* exactly what you are talking about.

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

Did the battery run out of power? If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

(A Reset does NOT erase the iPod.)

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

IPod Video will Randomly turn on and play a certain playlist

My iPod will randomly turn on and play a certain playlist I have. It will also do it in the middle of other playlist or when I'm just playing music. It is always the same playlist and there is no pattern as to when it will do this. Any ideas?

Turn off the alarm.

How come my genius will not play for all songs?

I'm trying to figure out why my iTunes/iPod Genius will only create a playlist for some songs, but not all? I have mulitilpy ablums by and artist and Genius will work on some songs but not the others. Why is that? Is there something I need to do, updates, settings, etc.? Thanks

It happens when you download from two or more different Apple IDs often. It says you must waut 90 days before you can play it without wifi. So in 90 days, try to download again.
Good luck!

Stop in timeline - don't show all layers. How?

I am an experienced AfterEffects, FCP, and Camtasia user, but new to Captivate. Currently using Captivate CS5.5 and cannot figure why Captivate shows ALL the layers of content when the playbar stops rather than only the layers active at that point in time. Is there a way to defeat this behavior? This driving me absolutely NUTS!! Can't find the answer in other resources. - Thx!

Hello,
When editing the slide, you'll see all the objects that are on that slide. When you drag the playhead you'll see only the objects that are active at that point, but when you let the playhead all objects will be there again. Sorry that is the way CP is designed. This dragging is not creating a real preview, which needs a temporary creation of a SWF. That is only possible with real preview modes (F4, F8, F12). Captivate is not a video application, like Camtasia or AfterEffects. It has advantages to have all the objects visible like for aligning purposes; forget about the pure video where manipulating different objects is not at all easy. If you want to align the start of an object timeline with the playhead, use CTRL-L. Perhaps my blog post about the timeline will help you, it is aimed at starters in Captivate:

IPod 5th gen stopped charging in the middle of a charge.

I was charging my iPod touch last night and in the middle of the charge, it stopped and gave me the "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPod." It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source. It's now almost dead and I really need my iPod to charge. I've already tried resetting and clearing the debris out of the port. I'm not sure what else to do.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- Try another charging source since I do not know what " It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source. " means
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My Ipod 5th Generation stop playing video?

Hello,
My Ipod video was working fine and then one day my video stop working. When I try to the play the same videos that worked last week the ipod locks(black screen) and I have perform the hard reset to get it back. It does still plays the songs and shows pictures? I'm able to show videos in iTunes as well.

Hello charlesm23,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would maybe try removing the videos from your iPod altogether, and then re-syncing them to see if that helps. At least it's a good place to start.

My ipod 5th gen. 30 gig wont play video on to tv!! need help, please!

Hi, I have searched and have found no answer. My ipod wont play on the tv. I don't have a offical Apple cable that plugs into the headphone jack to the tv. But I have a cable that I have found laying around my house that is exactly the same. It has a headphone connecter on one saide, and three other plugs on the other (yellow, white, red).
I know if I'm not using a Apple cable that I have to rerange the cables, red to yellow, white to red, yellow to white. I've tried other combinations with NO success.
I have the ipod set to TV on..
And the only thing that happens is that white and grey lines start dancing around on the tv..
and SOMETHIMES theres is some auido, but with only one speaker..
I have tired two tv's. A hdtv and a flat screen tv.

Stephanie,
The reason a standard A/V cable won't work with the iPod if you match the colors is because the A/V cable standard was developed by Video Camera manufactures and they arbitrarily picked the connections on the 3-contact 1/8" plug to go to their colors.
When Apple decided to put a three contact 1/8" jack on the iPod and use one contact for Video output, they couldn't match the same colors because the configuration picked by the video folks didn't match the two audio channels to the same ones used by standard headphones. So Apple had to make their own A/V cables to get the colors to match up correctly.
If they hadn't made their own A/V cables (or made you use a standard cable with the colors mixed up) and made the iPod match the A/V standard then it would have required custom wired headphones for the iPod. Clearly you can see where the outrage would be if Apple seemingly MADE people buy their custom headphones and didn't let you use any headphones you wanted, right?

IPod 5th gen device keeps pausing and playing music randomly

Self explanatory. Don't know why this started happening. I take good care of my iPod too. Resetting my iPod doesn't do anything. Sometimes Siri randomly pops up too. Even when my iPod is locked, these problems are still occurring. Please reply back to me ASAP

If no earphones attached then:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

While i was on fb... i went to th kitchen and grabbed a drink so i placed my ipod down... i.got back and i unlocked it, but it froze.... what should i do..? Does anyone have a soluion to this...? Please help..

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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod 5G Will Not Display iTunes Videos (Must Restart), All Photos Distorted

I own a 30GB iPod 5G which has never worked satisfactorily after I purchased the unit last year. In fact, after several trips last year to the Genius Bar at the Apple 5th Avenue store in New York, Apple replaced my unit with a new (or refurbished) model and the problems diminished somewhat. Within the last week I noticed however that my iPod will not display photos without severe distortion and will not display videos downloaded from iTunes at all (the unit requires a restart if I attempt to play these videos). I had taken the unit to an Apple mini-store at a local (Iselin, NJ) BestBuy and, after he entered the serial number into the support form, was told by an Apple badge employee that my warranty for the unit did not expire until Sept. 28 (which was the date I received the replacement iPod). When I took my unit to the 5th Avenue Apple store, I was informed by a Genius Bar employee (Jay) that my warranty expired on July 6 and Apple would not perform warranty service nor could I purchase the extended warranty. He further informed me that Apple badge employees at Best Buy and CompUSA are not “really” Apple employees.
He wouldn’t call a manager after I requested to speak to one. The only recourse he could offer me was to call the AppleCare 1-800 number, which I immediately did while still in the store. The person at AppleCare (after asking for the serial number) informed me that my warranty didn’t expire until Sept. 28 and if I wanted to I could purchase the extended warranty anytime until that date. I chose not to give my credit card information while standing in the midst of hundreds of customers, but I called the following day (July 14) and was told by the attendant who took my call that my warranty had expired on July 6 and there was nothing he could do to help me.
Evidently, although I have purchased 11 iPods over the course of the last year as gifts for family members (plus 4 speaker-docks plus more iTunes gift certificates than I can count), I do not count as a valued Apple customer. Could someone at Apple please prove me wrong?
