IPod keeps repeating podcasts .. after I drift to sleep

And in the process my nano 6th gen. runs down the battery. This is a change of behavior. Previously it would work its way through a list of podcasts (in the process marking them all as read) while I slept. I could at least avoid that by starting it at the final podcast on the list.
Is there a way of having it stop after playing a single podcast, no matter where the item is on the list? The 4th gen. nano would play just one, then stop.

It's pretty easy to accidentally set the Nano to repeat. Have a look at the manual (download the manual here) on page 21.

Garey,
Make sure the Repeat setting has not been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

Ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle

ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle. HELP!!

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

Why does playlist on iPod keep repeating and repeating even though play count rule is 1

Hello, everyone!
I have a smart playlist of about 100 songs. The play count rule is set to play songs with a play count of less than 1. A few days ago, I reset all of the songs play count to 0. If you ask me, the way I have it set up, when the iPod is playing with my headphones on, the iPod should automatically update each songs play count to 1 after each song plays. After I have listened to all 100 songs, the playlist on the iPod should be empty. The reason is is because since each song was updated from their play count of 0 to 1 after each one played the play count rule in the playlist should show no songs in the playlist. Like I said before, the rule says to play any songs with a play count of less than 1. Since all of the play count of the 100 songs are now 1 and not less than 1, the playlist should be empty.
The problem is, when I'm listening to my iPod and the 100 songs have played, the playlist is not empty. It just keeps repeating songs and it will never stop. When I go to iTunes, the songs are randomly with play counts of 3 or 2 or 1 or however many times they have been repeated.
Does anyone know why this is?

The reason the songs don't delete themselves after playing from the playlist on the iPod is because your iPod is not smart enough to do that. It's only when you re-sync your iPod to your iTunes library does the smart playlist in your iTunes library delete the played songs. Then the playlist on your iPod will adjust to the number left unplayed in that playlist.
So as long as you don't sync back to your library the number of songs in that playlist will never reduce to zero.

My iPod keeps shuffling podcasts

My iPod touch keeps shuffling podcasts instead of playing them in order. I can't find a way to disable this feature. Does anyone else have this problem?

I just figured this out. It is something Apple should address though. In audio books the shuffle button is replaced with the playback speed button so if the shuffle button is pushed during MUSIC play and you decide to listen to an AUDIO BOOK it uses the same shuffle settings you had while playing music but you can't turn shuffle off while listening to an audio book because the button isn't there. The only way to turn it off that I could find is to go back to listening to a song and push the shuffle button to off and then return to the audio book. You will then have to turn shuffle back on to listen to music. It hasn't always been this way so in my opinion this is a flaw in the software update that Apple should fix.

My IPOD keeps repeating the song. I've had it for almost a year and it has been fine. All of a sudden it has started repeating. Help!

My iPod keeps repeating the name of the song and playlist

This was so weird. I'm off on a great run last week, and right in the middle of a song, the computer voice announced the song, then the artist, then the playlist. The song came back up, then immediately it happened again. And again, and again. It happened about 10 times before I took the iPod off and put it in my pocket. Any idea what's going on??

Did your headphones become slightly disconnected? Someone else this morning noted that it occurs when they disconnect and reconnect... I had a similar issue when I switched between headphones and aux input for my vehicle.
If it's still doing it, try a restore next.... That is indeed strange, but if the headphone jack became slightly disconnecte it could be related to what is been identified earlier today.

My iPod keeps skipping music after I upgraded to IOS 7, I would tap a song and it wouldn't play all 308 of my songs, it would skip

I can't play my music, it keeps skipping when I tap on it. I tried everything and nothing is working. Thank you so much in advance. I appreciate it!

If your music was purchased in iTunes you can always redownload it for free... but without any backups.. there's no other way to get the music back.

IPod Nano battery dies after 2 days in Sleep

My iPod Nano is about 2 years old and is working great for the most part. When fully charged, I can listen to music for 6-8 hours before the battery dies. But, if the iPod is fully charged and not connected to my computer and put in sleep mode, the battery is fully depleted after about 1-2 days. Is this normal? I know that even in sleep mode, the iPod will draw some power from the battery, but I thought it would stay charged for longer than it is. Any suggestions?
I have checked that it is not getting awakened by any alarms. Do I need a new $59 battery?
Thanks.

I agree with you on the wallsocket charging thing, it's a must have, really. The case is a different thing.
People would get stuck with a generic case, and not have one they liked. Now, you can buy whatever color/shape you want, without hassle.
The reason I got a white one: the earplhones, the radioremote and all other things are white. If black ones were included/available, I'd have gotten a black one.
Oh, and I have mine 1.5 months now, and am as happy as a clam. I used to have a portable CDplayer with MP3 capabilities, but it was HUGE. This fits in my shirt pocket, doesn't have any moving parts (no skipping when running), and is just about as cool as it can get.

TS2771 My ipod touch stop working after putting it on sleep mode and was on dead battery. How do I start it up again?

I was looking at some of my pictures on my Ipod Touch. It was on 20 percent battery and i turned it on to sleep mode to go do something for my mom. Once i came back and tried to unlock my ipod it would even turn on. I tried plugging it in to the computer and used many different ipod chargers. How do i get this to work? its only a year old, does it have anything to do with the battery? And if i reset it will the songs i purchased from my ipod still be on there?

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
The media should still be on the iPod. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Weird Issue - Gen5 iPod will not play after waking up from sleep.

I think my 5th gen 30GB iPod is just lazy and needs a kick to get going =)
Seriously though, let's say I'm playing a song. I pause the song and then put the iPod to sleep by either selecting sleep from the menu or by holding down the play/pause button. I then proceed to slide the hold button.
When I'm ready to play again I slide the hold button back then hit the play pause. No output at all. 99% of the time when this happens the time will count down like it's supposed to be playing but there is no output. Every now and then the time doesn't progress even though the icon at the top left side of the screen says play.
I can choose other songs and it does the same thing. The only solution is to put it back to sleep and then wake it up again. Works perfect.
Any ideas?
Gen5 30GB Windows XP Pro

Hi Dick, same here.
Since about a week, I noticed this too on my 8core MacPro with attached LaCie Electron screen.
No external drives or anything else attached ( except for the keyboard and mouse ) .
It only happens when the screen is sleeping while the computer itself is still awake.
I can use the keyboard to quit open applications or eject a cd, but the screen stays black.
When the computer itself is sleeping, it does wake up normally - including the screen...
Peter
Forgot to add: when touching the the ON button, the computer goes to sleep and if I then touch the mouse or a key, it wakes up normally.

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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
