IPod Nano Automatically Turns On

Hi, I recently got a iPod Nano, however lately it's been turning on in the middle of the night and it's not due to the alarm clock or sleep timer, because those are already off. Also I've tried resetting the Nano, but it's still turning on, on it's own. Any ideas how to solve this?

Oh my gosh! Mine does that too. Even if you have the hold switch on, it starts randomly playing which is really annoying since it runs down the battery loads, so I have to keep mine connected to my PC all the time. Has anyone solved the problem yet? Cos my warranty runs out soon.

6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi VeerleD,
If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

Ipod nano keeps turning on and off

My ipod nano keeps turning off and on automatically and when I push a button once its on then it freezes, and when I reset it then it starts turning on and off again....what do I do someone please help me

Hello Mo0nangel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
Updating iPod software
If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.

My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely. Push until they click in place. It solved the problem. The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep. Hope this helps.

The iPod Nano battery will not charge unless you connect it to your computer, to an AC outlet with a wall adapter, a charging dock or an auto adapter/dock.
You battery is always discharging when idle or shut off. You should read the manual for your model iPod Nano regarding batteries - iPod Manuals

The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.

Ipod nano randomly turns on, pauses music & won't stay off

I got an iPod Nano 6th(?) Gen in August. It didn't get used for another month - loaded it with tunes in September. After about a month of intermittent use, it started to randomly pause music without touching it in any way. I also noticed that, even though the iPod wasn't being used daily, it rarely had enough charge to play for more than an hour. After paying close attention one day after turning it off, it just jumped back on without my touching it. Disturbing to say the least - brand new gift, hardly used and not working right after only a couple months.
It was suggested by online and telephone support that the iPod be reset by holding down the keys; then reset, wiped clean and reloaded in iTunes (phone support). Neither of these fixes worked. Very upsetting.
In November I filled out a service request and sent my Nano back via UPS. I am beyond livid at this point as #1 - their tracking page tells you nothing #2 - I almost didn't get my iPod back as they never notified me it was shipped via FedEx requiring someone to be home to sign for it(!) and #3 - my device was denied repair/replacement because they're saying that the LCI (liquid contact indicator) was pink, indicating that my iPod had been submerged in liquid causing the internal damage. I was told that I had to bring it to an authorized Apple place and they could replace it for me for $65 which is about half of what my husband paid for the thing.
Um, unless this spill or submersion happened right before they sealed it in the box it never got wet. I think this touch-Nano is defective from the posts seen here and Apple is looking for a way to not replace/repair at their cost. Maybe their LCI is hypersensitive?? I might have breathed on it or maybe it couldn't take the humidity in August when it was given to me... If a device is to be sold for use by the average, active person (it has a pedometer for Criminy's sake) maybe it shoudn't be so sensitive to "wetness".

Call Apple Customer Relations-1800-767-2775. Explain to them exactly what you stated in your post.
Good luck!

Ipod Nano - when turned on screen is cracked-

Whenever i turn my nano on which i have had for six months and taken very good care of it---it appears to have cracks on the screen and black is coming from them. What is the problem ? Any suggestions would be helpful.

How did it crack? If it was accidental (like you did it from dropping it, etc.) then apple won't replace it. If you didn't do anything, it could be defective and if it is apple will replace it free of charge.
Suprisingly enough, though, what you may think of as not accidental make actually be accidental. The iPod nanos are way to fragile to be released on the market without a huge "PATHETICALLY FRAGILE BUY A CASE WITH IT" sign on the box, but that's just my opinion. Seriously, empty pockets=death for the bare iPod nano, even if you don't sit down.
Send your iPod to apple and see what happens. Either they say it's abuse and send it back to you, or they find no pressure points and give you a new one. Oh, and also, it seems doing it online gives you the best results.

IPod Nano wont turn on

I have had my Ipod nano for about 2 yrs , and i take good care of it: but suddenly one day it works then the next i cant even turn it on. I have attempted to charge it in a few docks but nothing happens, it is just dead. I have tried all the reset techniques but to no avail.My computer doesnt register it there either.
can anyone help with this issue plese?

I got angry after about 3 hours of messing with it and then was tempted to swing my ipod like a lasso until it hit my tv on accident, all that did was give a nice dent in the back of it, but hey it actually turned on haha but it was still frozen
- like a light tap sideways should work, happened to me a few times, as if your trying to set off the flash off in an old camera, but don't be to mean to it geeze :S. then try to do the hold ( menu + >= ) should start up enough to get windows or mac to recognize it.
after i got it to start i got a program called EphPod, my savior .
- plug it into the computer and start EphPod
- it cracks the ipod software and sets it at factory defults again (not trying to talk about other software btw, just happens to solve this problem)
- then shutoff EphPod and go into iTunes, reinstall and updated ipod software. only had to do it like twice so far.

Does ipod nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in to the computer?

When I bring new music into my itunes library the song is checked. will the nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in again? Or do I have to start over? I hit sync again but not sure whether I have to do that every time I charge it.

Depends on how you have your iPod set up to Sync. For example if your iPod is configured to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure each new track you add to iTunes has a tick mark next to it. The next time you sync your iPod (assuming it set up to automatically sync), the new tracks will be added.
