Ipod 6th generation plays for about 20 sec then pauses by itself...ideas?

I have a 6th generation ipod nano.  I plug it in via headphone jack, select a song, and it plays for 20 sec or so, then automatically pauses.  Have tried different songs and have tried going to settings and resetting settings.  Have also tried holding the power button and shutting down, then restarting.  Upon restarting, I do not get the normal apple logo, it just goes back to the song that was paused.  When I hit play, it plays for another 20 sec or so then pauses again.  Any ideas?

This is usually an indication that your iPod's headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be seen.

    - If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last, try DFU mode and restore.

    Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

  • Itunes will not play my music, when it does it plays for about 10 seconds then speeds through the rest of the song then jumps through the nexts songs in the album, anyone got any ideas dont have a clue

    Hi anyone
    i am having a problem with itunes, i cannot play tracks and when they do play they play for about 10 seconds then speed through to the end then jump down the next few tracks.
    Getting really frustrated as i am a complete novice on this type of thing, any help would be appreciated. i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled no joy

    Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
    I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
    I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
    Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
    I'm a happy man once again.

  • I have downloaded The Final by Wham (Deluxe edition) and most of the Videos only Play for about 2 minutes then freeze

    Hi all
    I am new to iphone and have just bought Wham The Final (deluxe edition) which includes all there videos.
    When i go to play the videos they play for about 2 minutes then they just freeze. Club tropicana does not even play at all.
    I have other video purchases which all play fine.
    Is there anywhere in itunes where you can re-download?
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them. 
    Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

    Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • How do i get my Ipod 6th generation to show up on itunes, then restore without telling me its corrupt!

    Hi, so the story is about a month ago i had brought in my Ipod 6th generation in to an apple store because the sleep button was stuck down (that ipod was from this past christmas). It was under warenty so I got another one free, but now this new one wont
    1. Show up on Itunes
    2. When it rarely does (it shows up randomly even when its not plugged in) It says its corrupted. I hit restore and that bar goes on forever!
    Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes tons of times and that doesnt work, ive restarted my computer which doesnt help. ive reseted my ipod by the buttons and the settings hundreds of times! Disk mode ive gone into but i dont really know whats supposed to happen after i plug it in. I have added songs to my library after my old ipod broke and before i got the new one if that makes a difference. My old ipod (6 generation) worked fine on my labtop with no troubles at all so im ripping my hair out trying to figure out what i need to do.

    Ipod NANO, forgot to mention that.

  • Hp w2338h monitor stays on for about a sec then goes black and will not come back on

    When I turn my computor on the monitor will only stay on for about a sec and then goes black. I can turn monitor off and on and it does the same thing. A new motherboard and been installed and computer works well with other monitors. Was using upgraded video card which has been removed and using orginal video card that came with computer. The monitor started acting up and before new board installed and would come on when monitor was turned off and then on. Now it just stays black after being rebooted or turned on. Can anyone help or have any ideas what could be the problem?

    Hi charlezr,
    I see that your monitor goes blank after you start up the computer, and I would be happy to assist you! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer and monitor?
    What version of Windows do you have installed on your computer?
    Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
    In the meantime, I recommend following this document on when the Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer. This should help you determine if the blank screen is being caused by the computer hardware, the video signal to the monitor, or the monitor itself.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

    How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

  • Ipod recognized in Windows Explore for about 10 secs & then disappears

    Awhile ago my computer was out to get serviced so b4 it left, I decided to put back up my song files onto my ipod since i was using way less than half the space on there. As soon as i did this, my ipod started freezing and the the sad face ipod appear. Randomly it would start up asking what language I wanted 2 use and all the songs would be "deleted" I restarted it and magically the songs would be back on there.
    So when i got my computer back I tried to delete the files I had saved on there but in the middle of the process it said one of the files was in use and wouldnt let me delete it. Magically my ipod started working again, although it freezes sometimes but i would reset it, files disappeared, reset again and they would be back.
    Recently the ipod sad face showed up again & even though i would try to reset it, it wouldnt go away. I just left it alone 4 a week and then charged it but nothing happened. Another week later i was chargin it again and when i came back in the room, the menu was up. The ipod worked 4 about a week (with the sad face ipod showing up any time u tried to skip a song). After awhile the reset thing didnt work. So I tried to restore it. I am able to put it into disk mode & when i connect to my computer everything appears to be going well. it shows up in my computer for a couple of secs and then it's dropped and the ipod updater says that the ipod cant mount. Does anybody know how 2 correct this.

    I had a problem like that and Ithink it solved itself by checking an option in I-tunes.
    I can't find exactly what option (I don't use I tunes, because it doesn't do what I want), but it was an option like 'Show Ipod as virtual drive' or something like that.
    Choosing that option showed my Ipod, but I'm not sure it was that, because I had so many problems installing it.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • My ipod 6th generation plays with the pause on.  Can't get it to advance to another song in the album.

    My ipod plays in pause mode..  It will not play additional songs in the album.

    Hi,
    Try doing a reset in iTunes. This means that you will lose everything on it. After that, put everything back on your iPod, and see what happens. If it keeps happening, take it to your Apple Store.
