Ipod nano shuts down after 2 min of playing music. Battery problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing. You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

IPod Nano 5th Gen shuts down when locked

I have the iPod Nano 5th Generation 8GB in Silver. I bought it recently, second hand from eBay. I originally thought that the iPod was broken, until I plugged it in to my PC and it came to life. However, when it is not connected to my PC or charging, it shuts down after 15 minutes of being locked. I have looked through all of the settings, including Sleep Timers, and Reset the settings to default, yet it still happens. I could find nothing wrong in the diagnostics menu (besides the fact that the battery life is less than what it should be) and could find nothing on the internet that had anything to do with my issue. I am considering getting a refund on the iPod unless there is an easy fix for this.
Thanks in advance

IPod nano 6th gen shuts down instead of Sleep

I've recently acquired an iPod nano 6th generation and it has an issue that's killing me inside: instead of turning off the screen, like the Sleep function, every one minute or so the iPod shuts down. It's not exactly the same as turning off completely, but everything I'm doing at the time stops, including music. The big deal is that this happens automatically, so it's nearly impossible to listen to anything. I've tried to press the Sleep/Wake button while listening to music, but it happens the same issue, even if the User Guide says it should be quite the opposite...
I don't think it's a battery thing because the battery is full and the iPod works normally as long as I keep touching the screen everytime. I gained it yesterday, so it's brand new. The only different thing I did was to use my own headphone (a Pioneer SE-MJ31) instead of Apple's, because I can't use earbuds. But if the music DOES play (and it does it well) then it's compatible, right? And it also doesn't seem that a headphone could cause this.
Does anyone had this same issue and/or knows what to do?
Thanks in advance

Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen. You should hear a sort of clicking noise when inserted the headphones to signal that they have been fully seated. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano.

IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

My working iPod touch (5th gen) shuts down automatically and wouldn't start, was this iOS 8.1 related?

My iPod screen went dark when I try to wake it, then the power button can't turn it back on either. I have the 16GB version, still got 7GB of usable memory but this was the first problem after installing the iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the battery, the battery icon that used to be visible when the system is off but it was not there when I tried to charge the battery. At this point, my 16GB iPod Touch and all the files inside are waiting for rescue.

Have a ipod nano 5th gen., keep getting error message 13019!!!

I have an ipod nano, 5th gen. Yesterday when I tried to sync music I received error code 13019. I tried unsyncing music, resyncing,...finally ended up restoring, resetting..nothing worked. All updates are current on itunes and ipod. This has never happened. There is no voice memos options on playlist either. Please help!

So you worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document then?

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

This is not a problem I have only had with 7th gen. iPod. I have had this problem with the 5th gen. It goes back a few years. Nike and Apple are aware of this. Nothing has been done. It appears that when the iPod voice commences (whether to update you on the status of your run) and you touch a button to prompt a mileage update or song change yourself (or even brush the device wrong when taking off a jacket), the operating system overloads and cannot sort it out. It then shuts down and reboots. Your mileage is lost. So sorry. Have a nice day.
Love the other aspects of running with a nano (small and light weight). I can keep it high and dry and out of the way. Like the software. Use it almost everyday. Hate the unknown dropped runs. I have logged over 2,000 miles with these devices. Today I lost another 3 miles - probably the 30-40th time it has happened. Frustration is somewhere between time for another device to time for another system - Map My Run indeed!
This probably occurs with my iPod once or twice a month. Went to the Apple Store - three times. The first time was maybe two years ago and they first tried some magic dust and then on the second visit, they swapped out my nano - it was a bit flimsy. The problem returned. I then upgraded. The problem returned. The third time they did a reset and it seemed to help. Then, it returned. But to download an older software version, verify the fidelity of the UBS cable, jump from computer to computer, make a trip to the Apple store, and perform so many two steps on one leg just to get what we paid for seems . . . well, lame. And, Apple told us the thingy would work using all the different computers and software (Vista, Nike, etc. etc.).
Oh, one other thing. The Apple Store told me to complain to Nike. Nike said their software is fine. This is like dealing with General Motors or the government - but, worse. Not my problem man. See the guy over there. Got it.
I note that no one from Apple is jumping in the chain here with a fix. So much for customer exuberance. Generally like Apple. We have about 20 Apple devices in our family (desktops, portables, phones, pods, tablets) and are lining up for the watches . . . but, maybe Apple is an idea who time has come and gone, . . . like the wind.

IPod Nano 5th Gen unmounts before synch

When I attempt to synch my iPod Nano 5th gen to my Mac (OSX 10.8.4) is appears in the devices for a short time, then it disappears. I have not synched in a while, and the iPod has been sitting in a 3rd party dock which is attached to my amplifier.
I have:
checked my iTunes is up to date
performed a reboot
swapped USB ports
reset my iPod
placed my iPod into disk mode
I recorded a log of the events that occur when I plug it in:

The questin that the computer asked you was "This iPod has been synced with another computer. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this computer." If you said yes then it deleted everything. The way to put it back on is.
1. Click on the iPod
2. Click Podcast on the top of the screen.
3. Check the box
4. Choose what Podcasts you want to have.
5. Click the sync button

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

2 yrs worth of music on my ipod nano 5th gen just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks.

Most of the music I've put on my ipod nano 5th gen in the last 2 years just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks. Stuff from before that seems to be still there (I add stuff manually, not sync, and the ipod wasn't full). It was a bit glitchy as soon as I plugged it in to update - threw up a few error messages, decided to verify my ipod a couple of times, After that, once or twice itunes seemed to lose the ipod completely, although as far as the laptop was concerned it was definitely still connected, so i went for the 'safe to remove hardware' option and reconnected...
I'm guessing somewhere in the midst of whatever was going on there, something got confused or corrupted, but I have no way to tell what... Ipod seems to think it is using less of its capacity now, but I don't know whether to believe it or not!
Can I get this stuff back? It's not just stuff I bought from itunes, either - things I put on from cds have gone too. I have all the music either backed up or on cds, but I'm not in the same country as my cds right now - also rebuilding all of my playlists and trying to remember what went where is going to be a pain! Is there a quicker way than just doing it all over again?

IPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) syncing some albums, but not others...?

Hello! I am new to the world of iPods, so please bear with me.
I recently purchased an iPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) and figured out how to sync it with iTunes. Unfortunately, it seems to only sync up with select albums in my library. I know that in order for an album to sync there needs to be check marks next to each song, which I did, but after I sync it I browse my iPod and find that only (roughly) half of the albums I indicated actually show up on my iPod. For example, I was able to sync albums by The Afghan Whigs, Bryan Ferry, and Berlin just fine, but for some reason I was not able to sync certain albums by Autechre, Low, or King Black Acid.
What gives?? I will note that I am using the Windows 7 release candidate - hopefully this has nothing to do with it.

Hello livoryy
It sounds like the battery just does not hold a charge. Check out the page below and look at the battery replacement section to get all the answers to what you are asking.

Ipod nano 5th gen.

so i found an ipod nano 5th gen. on the side of the road and the screen will not turn on. about how much would it cost to replace the screen?

Don't mean to preach, but what you really should do is turn the iPod into your local police station. There may be somebody looking for it. If you lost your iPod (or something similar in value) you would probably want somebody to turn it in rather than keep it for themselves.
If nobody claims it after a certain # of days, you will get to keep it.
And if you do get to keep it, your next choice will be to decide where you'd like to get the iPod repaired. Your best bet would be to have a 3rd party company do the job for you at a pretty reasonable cost. A simple Google search for "iPod screen repair" should give you a plethora of results. I would recommend doing a bit of shopping around to find the best deal.
Good luck.

IPod Nano 5th Gen Battery

I just have a question that i'm hoping someone could answer. I purchased an iPod nano 5th gen about two weeks ago. Anyway when I first charged it, I left it on my computer (laptop) for about 2hours (Thought this was enough). I was unsure about how long to charge it for. I have a couple of questions:
If I didn't charge it for long enough the first time, how does this effect the battery?
I also heard you are supposed to completely let the battery die the first time to get complete life out of it.
How do you know when the iPod is completely charged? Does it say it on the screen?

It doesn't.

This won't really effect battery life too much. However it is a good idea to do from time to time to reset the calibration of the little battery indicator on the screen which can get out of whack with lots of little top offs. Letting it run until it shuts off then completely recharging and get that indicator to be a bit more accurate.
How do you know when the iPod is completely charged? Does it say it on the screen?
You won't know unless you let it charge for a long time. When the charging symbol changes from the actively charging icon (lightening bolt) to the AC Plug symbol to indicate it is charges, it typically does this at about 80% charge. It then continues to trickle charge up to 100%.
