IPod automatically starts playing...

I've recently noticed that my iPod will automatically start playing at random points throughout the day. When it fires up, it always starts and plays the same cd...Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath." It will play the disc all the way through, then shut down.
My iPod will be totally charged, but because of this automatic startup, the battery will be drained in a matter of hours.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how was the problem solved?
iPod 20 GB Windows XP

First thing to check would be to see if you have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

Automatic start of iTunes when i connect the iphone

can I configure iTunes to start automatically on connecting an iPhone?

You described exactly how to do it. Simply connect the device and then deselect the option to launch iTunes when the device is connected.
There is also an option in Edit > Preferences > Devices to prevent iDevices from syncing automatically.

How do I turn off the feature in iTunes that automatically starts up iTunes when I press the mic button on my headphones?

Okay, so I guess the mic button in my headphones is broken and so it acts like I have pressed it even though I have not. So everytime I have my head phones plugged in itunes shows up and everytime I try close out or pause iTunes, it just starts right back up again and I have to do this constantly. My temporary solution was to just turn my iTunes volume all the way down but it still pops up with notifications that says a song is playing. It is gettin annoying because I cannot watch Netflix or anything else without getting itunes pop ups. I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the feature?

The mic button is probably sending a signal (or command) that works like a keyboard shortcut to open the app.
System Preferences>Keyboard - under the Shortcuts tab, clear ANY iTunes shortcuts that appear in the list.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Nano doesn't automatically start playing when connected to docking station

I have a Philips CD/Radio/ipod player that is compatible with my nano. My husband has the a nano (same generation) and when he connects his to the docking station, it automatically starts playing. He can use the controls on the machine vs on the nano. I can only start playing mine by clicking the play button on my nano.
I've gone through both of our nano's to see if there is a difference in settings and I can't find anything that's different.
Please help...it's really annoying.

So once you start it, can you then use the controls?
So what does it play when he plugs it in? It seems like he must be pre-selecting something to play, so maybe it's already in progress when he plugs in, and you are not doing that. Put some of his music in your iTunes and tell him to make it work - watch what he does very carefully
Does the ipod player say anything in the manual about more than one iPod or automatic playing?

My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone

My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!

Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?

Hi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

Is it possible for apple headquarters to add battery percentage to iPod touch for the new update? It would be a lot easier to see the percentage and so the iPod wouldn't die randomly when it's 20% or lower

All the people here do not really know because all are just users like you, not from Apple
but ...
there are some apps you can download that monitor the battery percentage more accurately. Some are more reliable than others so you might have to do some research but this could be an option for you

Can iPod automatically start?

Can the iPod automatically start up and start playing when it is plugged into AC? I had a Creative Nomad that could do that. I had it in my car hooked up to the cigarette lighter. When I started the car and the player detected incoming power, it would automatically start up and start playing. Was wondering if the iPod could do the same?

Tim,
I don't think the iPod has the ability to do this. It wakes up when power is connected, but I don't believe that you can get it to start playing by itself when powered.
You'll probably find that the only way to get it to self-play is by using the Alarm function...?
Kind regards,
Gopha.
