IPod mini goes into pause on its own

My iPod mini goes into pause mode on its own even though the lock is on. I have to then, unlock and press play to continue. Any idea if this is a hardware or software bug. Thanks.

I have the same problem. It is indeed the headphone connection. Sometimes I just barely touch the jack and it pauses, very inconvenient for a mobile device!!! Is there any way to cancel this stupid function? I am old enough to turn my ipod off after use and when I forget it, I will just recharge it. Excuse my sarcasm, but I hate function that are only noticed when causing problems. For now I have to get off my bike and press play everytime the cord moves a nanometer!

  • Is it Dead?  ipod mini goes into disk mode, but will not reset  or restore

    and is not recognized by the computer (Vista) or by iTunes. I have also tried to connect it to different usb ports and to different computers (3). Same result with all of them.
    Before the problems, I had attempted to install compact flash (adapter with 8gb micro sd memory card).
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Again, this is a problem with the Logic Board. When something metallic or conductive (screwdriver/watch/finger) shorts two components on the board. I can sort this out for you, if you don't feel confident doing the repair yourself.
    Thanks,

  • Music pauses on its own after upgrade to ios 6

    I have a problem that has surfaced since installing the latest OS update on my iPhone 4. The audio in various apps (spotify or the apple dedicated music player) frequently pauses on its own. At first I thought I was having a wifi interference/dropped signal problem. But the wifi is both strong and fast. The router is about three feet away from the phone Even tried changing to the 3G network No dice. Same problem.
    My next thought was that notifications were somehow to blame since they typically mute the audio briefly when I receive email or news updates. But I've tried turning off the notifications (even dropped the email accounts to see if they were somehow causing the problem.) Again, no dice. The problem continues. However, it does seem more likely to occur when a notification or calendar update occurs.
    In some cases I've found if I leave the iPhone alone the problem sometimes fixes itself with the audio returning. But not consistently.
    I've only noticed this problem since installation of the latest 5.1 OS update. Given that that update has some audio-related features I'm wondering if that's where the problem lies.
    I have also tried rebooting the iphone but that doesn't seem to help.
    Anyone else having a similar problem?

    I was told to try this and it worked:
    "mine did that the other day, hold the home button and the lock button at the same time...if that doesnt fix it hold the home button and at the same time plug your phone into itunes...then you'll have to restore it from the backup"
    Hopefully your problem is fixed!

  • My Macbook Pro started freezing all the time & going to sleep on its own for no reason

    I've been having trouble for a few weeks with my computer freezing way too often for seemingly no reason - I'm using it exactly the same way I always have with no problems, and even actively trying to have less applications open (which seems to have no effect). I can't always load simple webpages without it freezing and giving me the color wheel and it's just MUCH slower in general. It is seriously making it difficult to use my computer for work  or for fun...
    It has also started going to sleep on its own - the screen will just go black (or sometimes BLUE) and the keyboard lights turn off, and the only way to get it to wake back up is to close the computer, wait, open it again and click or press a key. It doesn't respond to any keys/clicks until it has been closed and reopened.
    It seems to overheat really easily lately as well - but it does not always overheat when it freezes.
    SMC reset did not seem to have an effect. Activity Monitor doesn't show anything crazy, everything is pretty much 0% except Firefox around 7-12% as I'm typing this. 246 GB available on my hard drive so that doesn't seem to be the problem either. Right after restarting my computer it seems better but the problems quickly resurface...
    I googled for help before posting this and someone had suggested running the command
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    in Terminal, which they said "Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty." But mine gave this:

    Eric - I dont understand how I'd use caffeinate.  I am not running any code or particular script.  My system goes to sleep if surfing the web, or running Word or Excel, etc. 
    Or..  Are you saying I should go through and type 'caffeinate X' for all of my applications?

  • Konica Minolta Bizhub C450 Printer Goes into Pause

    Hello.
    WHen I bought this iMac (this past winter) I had no issues using our Konica Minolta Bizhub C450.  A KM tech rep suggested (for no reason) that I upgrade to the latest KM driver.
    That was a disaster.  I went back to the old driver.  A couple of months later suddenly everything I print goes into pause.
    I was able to work around by using the printer through another, older iMac via sharing.  Now that is not working.
    Any suggestions??????
    What is Apple or KM saying about this?

    Hi Nachos,
    First I installed the driver via the CD that came with the printer and upon "install completion", Nothing.
    Then I installed the latest driver (for 10.6 or later OS) driver from the Konica Minolta website and Nothing.
    I do not get Software Updates for this printer, I'm not sure why.
    No, the printer does not show up in my list of Printers when I go into System Prefs ---> Print & Scan. It did 3 days ago, now nothing.
    I'm thinking it doesn't like the Lion upgrade or the updates that have taken place since.... I need to get a new printer, I believe.
    Anyone else have thoughts?

  • How could i fix my ipod mini drop into water?

    please help how could i fix my ipod mini dropped into the water.

    There is no "true" fix for liquid damage.  It has been suggested by many to put your device into dry rice for about 3-4 days without trying to do anything on it....do not even power it on.  Once a device has liquid damage, it is just a matter of time before it has a failure.

    My ipod keeps locking and unlocking on its own! What should I do?

    Try the standard fixes:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

  • My ipod goes into pause mode after about 20 seconds, I have to touch the screen as it starts to fade out to keep it on

    My ipod nano is fully charged and while playing will automatically go into pause mode as the light starts to dim it eventually stops.  If I touch the screen before it blacks out it will continue to play.  It will play continuously if I am charging it into an electrical outlet

    I have the same problem with my new nano.  On one forum, there was a recommendation to restore, which will wipe all the music.  A second forum suggested the was an inherent problem in the 1.1 firmware and suggested a roll-back to 1.0, which sounds painful as well.  Any clarification will be greatly appreciated

  • Ipod doesn't switch off on its own

    Hello,
    I have a black Ipod 60GB and it doesn't switch off on its own. I know that the old Ipods will switch off on their own if you are not using it for more than a couple of minutes. So I thought the 5th generation would do that as well but mine doesn't and it's really annoying. Does anyone know if 5th generation Ipod should do that? And if yes, in which part of the menu can I set that option?
    Thanks.

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The iPod will turn off after 1 minute if there is a song on pause, or if there is nothng playing.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen restores on its own

    hello, the last few times that my ipod has died when i charged it again i find that it is completely restored on its own [asking me to plug into itunes]
    i'm not sure why this is happening? i was wondering if this happened to anyone else?
    i've been trying to not to let it die so that it doesn't happen

    That happens sometimes. An iPod goes into Connect to iTunes when it encounters an error. It did not "restore". The screen is telling yo to connect the iPod to your computer so you can restore via iTunes.

  • Mac Mini keeps shutting off on its own!

    Okay Apple Discussion Users, Here is my problem. I have a Mac Mini from early 2008. As of May 23, 2009 the mini started to RANDOMLY turn off on its own. For what reason, I Don't know! I will be using it maybe searching the web, and BAM, OUT COLD. And I have no reason why it's doing this. Its not a heat issue because i just had my mini cleaned up(dusted out) and i use SMC fan control keeping my mini at about 98ºF to 120ºF most of the time. I have opened my mini and re-seated my ram sticks and it seems to STILL be doing the same thing. Sometimes the mini will even blank out. I will be searching the web listening to music or something and the screen will black out. but the mac will still be on. I just cant use it. I have even reset my PMU/SMC on the mini, that seemed to make the mini act really weird, right after doing that the mini turned on with a fan running FULL speed and the hard drive running FULL speed, WHY IS IT DOING THIS ?!?!?!?!
    Help!

    Proper steps to reset the mini:
    # Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
    # Restart (Control-Command-Power).
    # Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds)
    to reset the SMC:
    1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
    4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
    Now if these to not work, the next thing i would try is uninstalling the fan management software and unplugging everything except the K/V/and mouse/
