Ipod nano pauses even w/out earphones in

My IPod Nano 5th generation pauses itself even if no earphones are in; if it pauses without the earphones I can't hear it w/out exiting the song and starting over.

Does this happen with every track or only certain tracks in particular? Are you unplugging the headphones during playback of a track?
Have you tried a hard reset to see if that clears things up? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipod Nano pauses frequently mid-song for no apparent reason

Can any help me figure out why this is happening? My Ipod nano pauses on its own very often while I run. Anyone have any ideas what is making this occur?

Hi there,
You may want to check and see if the shake to shuffle feature is enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Ipod continually pauses, even when locked

I have a 5th generation ipod, which I bought in the U.S. but it seems since I have moved to europe, my ipod continually pauses, even when it is locked on. This problem seems to occour more when people are using 2 way radios near by, such as train stations or on the highway when passing trucks. I work in the marine industry which is constantly using 2 way radios, and this has become such a frustration, that I stopped using my ipod for the last few months. I have tried resetting my ipod, but this hasn't seemed to fix it. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated

the only thing i can think of is if the earphone jack is removed from the socket, the iPod automatically pauses..

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

With the 3rd gen iPod nano's the tv out function only works when connected to a compatable cable through the dock connector. Or you can put the nano in an universal dock and the use the line out and an av cable (yellow/red/white plug type). Either way the tv out function will only change once it it connected to either the cable or dock and only through the dock connector on the ipod. The 5th gen iPod was able to use the av cable through the ear bud jacks, but not the new nanos unfortunately.

Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be seen.

IPod Nano pause function erratic

I've had my Nano for nearly three weeks now and I'm quite happy with it, no scratches, sound is great, just a gorgeous and well thought out device.
However, I've come really use the function of pausing the Nano by pulling out the earphone plug. For the most part, this does pause the player as advertised, but not always. I've done the reset thing to see if it would help, but it still occasionally plays on after I've removed the head phones.
Curious if anyone else has experienced this....

I just bought an ipod nano for my daughter's birthday 2 months ago and it has just started pausing itself. She has updated the OS to v 1.1, but that didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? Should we send it back?

My 2nd generation iPod Nano has locked me out

I own a 2nd generation iPod Nano. Yesterday, when I turned it on, I discovered that I was locked out of the controls, and the Hold button wasn't even activated. I think I've tried everything possible, both on this site and at home, to get the controls to unlock so I can use it again, but nothing has worked. Is my iPod officially broken, or does someone else know of a way to fix such a problem that isn't listed anywhere?

Have you tried resetting your iPod? Make sure the hold button is turned off, then hold down the menu + center button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. You should see an apple appear on the screen.
If that doesn't work, and your iPod is recognized by iTunes, I'd try and restore the iPod which is explained in this article:

I hope this helped! Good luck!

IPod Nano pauses unexpectedly

I just bought a new iPod Nano for my wife.
We have an iLive docking station for it as well.
I downloaded music and loaded it in some playlists, and while it is docked and playing it suddenly stops to proudly announce that the iPod is fully charged. Wife has to tell it to play again.
Is this a defect or a setting that can be adjusted so it doesn't stop playing?
We don't want it to pause.
Rick D.

This is a nano problem. My wife and daughter both have new 3rd Gen. nano's. I just bought the new Boston (Accoustics) Horizon Duo-i. I have been befuddled, baffled, bamboozled, and basically p-o’d!
The nano charges and plays music. Once charged it displays a full battery symbol and stops playing music. If you start to play it again, it takes a minute or two before it reaches the full charge again and turns off and tells me the battery is charged. I KNOW IT IS CHAGRED! JUST PLAY THE MUSIC!
I have read in customer support that the large battery icon shows while charging **"while in sleep mode." This is the display that I am getting while it is playing and stops. It appears that even though it is playing music, the nano thinks it is asleep. This fix is how to trick the nano into realizing that it is in fact, not asleep! Does anyone know how to do that?
I am posting this on the apple discussion board hoping someone can find a fix. If not, I am afraid I might have to try a Zune from Satan himself, Bill Gates.
Thanks, JBlum

My ipod keeps pausing even when the hold switch is on.

I was out snowblowing the other day and I was listening to my music. I had the hold button on, and my ipod kept pausing. I was not even bumping the unit. It was in my chest coat pocket. I don't know if maybe it was the cold. Anyone have a similiar issue?

Normally, even if the switch is ON, you should be able to do a Restore on the iPod (using iTunes). So, I would try doing that, from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. It will erase the iPod, but more importantly in this case, re-install the latest software set to default settings.
Hopefully, you have all the music in your iTunes library, because if Restore works, you can just re-sync the iPod.

IPod Nano 7th Generation - Bad out of the box?

I just purchased the iPod Nano 7th generation today and came home to sync it with iTunes. iTunes recognizes the device for a second then I receive a "Disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off." message. I can see the iPod in iTunes for a second then it disappears. As I keep it plugged in it will recognize, disappear, reapear then disappear again.
I purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation today and that is working just fine (as well as synching my other iDevices). Is this nano bad out of the box?

Same thing happened to me. It did download the playlists I wanted, but the next time I plugged it in it acted as though it was being plugged in for the very first time, (regsitration and set up etc.)
But the really bad news is the BATTERY LIFE. maybe get one hour of play time before it drains to zero.
Anyone else have this issue?
