Ipod nano after 1 minute automatically in standby

From the replacement pogram I received the Ipod nano 8GB.
When I play music, after about 1 minute it seems to get in a standby modus automatically and stops playing. When I push the button on the top, the screen starts and I have to start the music again.

This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged ALL the way in. Make sure the white part of the headphones is flush with the iPod Nano, meaning no silver from the actual plug can still be seen. It's a tight fit and requires a bit of extra force to pop the headphone's plug all the way in.

Connecting ipod nano after you "restore" your computer

I had to do a restoration on my computer after I was hit with some virus. Unfortunately I forgot to externally save my music files. Therefore, after the restoration on my computer was complete, all my music files were erased. My questions is this…..If I were to now connect my ipod nano to my computer, would it erased all the files I have on my ipod nano since they were erased on the computer during the restoration? What are my options? Any and all help is appreciated.

If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

IPod pauses after 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

This started happening about an hour ago; after choosing a song and leaving my iPod alone for 2 minutes and 20 seconds, it pauses. It doesn't happen to podcasts though, and I assume that after that amount of time is when the clock face pops up. My iPod is a black 6th generation 160 GB Classic which was gifted to me just a week short of 2 months ago. I appreciate any help that I receive.

Could you please do the following.
Download the following two files and save to your desktop. These are direct download links so you'll only see the dialog boxes which looks like the ones you see in the screenshot.
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
* [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
Next, close Firefox via File | Exit (''it's important that you do it this way and not just by clicking the close button'')
Next, double click the '''uninstall_flash_player.exe '''file you downloaded earlier and then '''reboot'''. A reboot is necessary to remove the setting from the Windows Registry.
Next, double click the '''install_flash_player.exe''' file to reinstall Flash.
Finally, restart Firefox and see if it made any difference.

How to turn on 6th gen iPod Nano after charging?

Hello, could anyone help me with this issue:
My iPod Nano was completely drain out of battery so I was charging it this morning, I want to ask is it normal when your iPod doesn't turn on quickly after charging after completely out of battery? is it different from iPhone (in iPhone it will show charging sign)?
What should I do to check if my iPod is charged correctly? or this is a sign that my iPod was broken? please help, thanks
I left my iPod at home and still charging it for the next two hours.hoping it will turn on again.

Hello greenmous,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If the iPod's battery had fully drained, it could take up to at least half an hour before your iPod begins to show any signs of life, depending on whether you have it plugged into a USB port on your computer or connected to an external power adapter.
For now I would let it be. If still no signs of life after a while, try resetting the iPod.
To reset iPod nano:
First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I can't load songs onto my iPod nano after updating to the latest iTunes!

It just won't let me drag and drop songs like I used to be able to and when I go into the other option it tries to syc the whole library and delete what I've already got on it and I don't want to do that.

Hi thomas-paton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the most recent iTunes update. If you are having issues dragging individual files to your iPod nano when connected in iTunes, you may want to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is selected, as outlined in the following article:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

TS1493 files not visible on ipod nano after disconnect from itunes

I have an iPod Nano (6th generation - 16 Gb) which was purchased in early 2011. All of a sudden all files in all categories (music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc) are no longer visible once it is disconnected from iTunes on my laptop. When reconnected to the laptop the files are visible again in iTunes - so they are still on the device. I have searched the Apple online support info and that only seems to provide complicated and unhelpful information about redesigating hard drive network maps etc., which is an action I am not prepared to risk for fear of making a bad problem worse, or contacting my "administrator" - which is me! Can anyone offer any solutions that don't require a PhD in computer science?

Here are a couple of additional pieces of information that might provide a clue:
1) At home, my iPod shows up as having the name I used when I registered it. On the second computer, my iPod shows up with the name DATA1.
2) I have an iPod 4GB mini. At home, that's pretty much the amount of space that shows up in the disk space bar (near the bottom) of iTunes. However, on the second PC, the disk space bar shows 10.35 GB used, 15.66 GB free! Which is just freaky, since it's still a 4GB iPod mini.
3) According to the iTunes display, everything is transferring absolutely smoothly. Since the iPod is configured to transfer music manually, the Do Not Disconnect sign is flashing throughout, but when I'm done and click on the eject iPod button in the lower right hand corner, it turns off, just the way it's supposed to and I can disconnect my iPod. It's just that my songs aren't visible anywhere on my iPod when I try then to play them.

Ipod Nano refuses to launch automatically with itunes 8.2 on mac

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can please help. I have a 2nd Generation Nano and it now refuses to launch my itunes 8.2 automatically and therefore I am unable to get to my ipod's music at all via my mac.
I used to get the DO Not disconnect logo flash up on screen, but this NO longer activates. It does however still charge the ipod fully via the USB cable provided.
I've now had to resort to uninstalling 8.2 and trying to work with 8.01, but this doesn't appear to have rectified the problem. I have yet to restore the ipod but was hoping I could avoid that option.
If anyone has experienced anything similar or has a solution to the problem please get in touch.

pictures illustrating the problem:
"iPhone" is an album containing 111 photos. No photos actually appear even after syncing - as shown by the capacity bar at the bottom:
http://i42.tinypic.com/30mo2ev.jpg
Note: I've tried syncing just ONE photo (inside AND outside iPhoto) and it doesnt work.
Also tried under Windows XP and syncing ONE photo. Didn't work either. (also running iTunes 8.2 as I don't have an old version to try...)
iPod Photo Cache is created correctly. Tried deleting and recreating it. Definitely works.
http://i41.tinypic.com/1217og4.jpg
If I use something like the demo of Ecamm Phone View ( http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ ) to view the contents of the iPhone, it is clear that NONE of the iPod Photo Cache thumbnails got transferred to the iPhone. (If i manually transfer it into the Photos folder the photos work – of course, until iTunes syncs again as it then deletes all the photos once again.)
Tried restoring iPhone - no help.
Clearly the problem is sporadic (as not many ppl have reported it) but yet, for those that are affected, it stops something that has worked before.

When I try to calibrate my iPod nano after a run it just shuts down and restarts. Whats happening?

After I run (iin basic mode) I try to calibrate. (I've done this a few times before).
Lately when I do/try this the iPod just shut down and restarts.
I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes to no help.
It's a 6th generation nano coupled to a nike sensor.
Any help would be much apreciated.

As a test to determine if it is nike sensor only issue run once without the sensor. Use the inbuilt accelerometer to complete a run and calibrate it.

IPod stops after 2 minutes of playing, consistantly

this is the first Apple product I can truly say I am disappointed in. Brand new user, I have used up my one call and now I have a product that I have to talk outsiders to get help with a manufacturers product? I use that iPod for assissting going to sleep so it has not been abused! It will play for about 2 minutes then quit, try again same scenerio. I have no idea as to how to correct the problem.

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.

What if my computer won't allow me to sync my music and it's has been authorized? As well as it recognizes my IPod nano for a minute and then it disconnects itself how do I fix it?

Please help me and give me any tips.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

IPod Nano 6th Generation: What's the standby time for the new iPod Nano?

This hasn't been mentioned anywhere that I know of.

Four hours with usage, is based on how heavily you have been using it, which affects how fast the battery drains, so that looks reasonable.
The charging time varies for different devices so you should not take the suggested time as an absolute value, it is only a suggestion. You are getting good battery charge performance, looks good.

How do I reset my Ipod nano 4th gen to factory settings? (I found it after 3 years, and the email it was under is deleted and gone. I am trying to give it to a friend who can't afford one.)

I found my ipod nano after it being missing for nearly 4 years, (ITS 4TH GEN), and i want to give it to a friend who can't afford one. Here's the problem, I deleted the email that I used for it about 2 and a half years ago, what do i do?

I don't know how an email affects using your iPod nano... But what you want to do is called a Restore. You do this with iTunes, so you need to have iTunes installed on your computer. If it's not installed, you can get iTunes here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Connect the iPod and select it in iTunes. The screen that appears is the iPod's Summary screen. The button for doing a Restore is there. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings, which is what is often called "factory" condition.
NOTE: The iPod's lithium battery may not hold a charge after it has been sitting in the drained condition for a few years. You should charge it completely, and confirm that it operates properly when disconnected, before giving it to your friend.

IPod Nano Won't Transfer

My IPod Nano will no longer automatically synch all of my music file to my computer(a new computer), ITunes is saying that I have to authorize all purchases made to my IPod.....does this mean that I will have to re-purchass all of my music files????????

does this mean that I will have to re-purchass all of my music files????????
No. You just need to authorize your new computer first by choosing Store -> Authorize this Computer in iTunes. Then with the Nano connected to the PC, choose File -> Transfer Purchases.
After that all of your purchased iTunes content should be in your new iTunes library on your new PC.

Ipod nano dim screen?

Okay, I had a 4th generation iPod nano for about two years, and then I got the fourth generation iPod touch. My brother had the iPod nano after me, but he left it in his pocket on accident and it went through the washer. I did the whole rice for 24 hours thing, but the iPod died while it was in the bowl of rice, and when I took it out, I thought that it was broken, so I just shoved it in a drawer and forgot about it. I found it in a drawer a couple of days ago and for some reason it had a little battery and it was clicking and the screen was REALLY DIM. I screwed around with it for awhile and charged it and stuff, and the backlight would come in and out. If I left it sitting there for awhile, it would be fully lit for like 30 minutes, and then go out again. This morning the screen stopped working completely, and it was still really really dim. I was able to sync it and restore it and I've tried rebooting it, to no avail. It plays music and video perfectly fine, everything works GREAT, except for the screen. The screen brightened up for a couple of seconds when it was recognized by the computer but I touched the click wheel and it dimmed again.
If I took it to the Apple store, would they still fix it, even if it IS from a couple of years ago? If so, how much would it cost? Thanks ahead of time.

I would recommend taking it in to your local Apple Store to see what the people at the Genius Bar can do for you.

Was the Smart Playlist podcast order bug on iPod nano fixed in iTunes 11

iTunes 9 broke the order in which Smart Playlists play podcasts in on the Nano. See "Smart Playlist order not respected on ipod nano after upgrade to iTunes 9" (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2154509). Has this been fixed in iTunes 11?

Hi MNM1974,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to know how to manually manage the music and playlists on your iPod nano. The article below provides more information about automatic and manual syncing of content to your device, and it will walk you through the process.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
I hope this helps.
