Ipod nano shuts down after playing a few minutes

I have an 2week old ipod nano and I updated it yesterday. Now it shuts down after a few minutes playing and I really don't know why. I worked perfectly before the update!!

planb77 saved me!!
He is right! i had exactly the same problem and didnt know what to do. I was really frustrated and was ready to send my new ipod back to apple store! 
The headphones need a good push, you shouldn't see any metal whatsoever.. I was afraid to push it in case i broke it. 
When you do it right you should hear a clicking sound.  Now my ipod works just fine!
thanks a lot for the advice!

  • My Ipod Nano shuts off after awhile during use? Is this a defect or is this something correctable with the sleep/wake button? I want it to play continuously while I use it, not continually shut down?

    My Ipod nano shuts down continuously during use? Is this a problem/defect or can this be corrected with the sleep/wake button? While working out the unit goes black and the music stops?

    You don't have the headset jack plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

  • My nano shuts down after one minute of use, why?  Brandnew

    My nano shuts down after one minute of use and it doesn't matter if I'm using the radio or playlist.  This is brand new so I've only ever listened to 1 minute of a song. Help

    Kevin,
    This usually happens when your headphones/earbuds aren't plugged all the way in. Double check the connection of the headphones and make sure the jack is free of debris.

  • IPod shuts down after playing music for 1 minute

    Whenever I try to listen to music or radio the device shuts down after exactly 1 minute. Can't find a setting to change this. I already did reset all settings, to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

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

  • My 120gb ipod classic always restarts after playing a few songs...WHY?

    This is extremely annoying and now has happened to the last 2 ipod classics I have had (both 120gb). Apple has made a terrible product or something is wrong with something I am doing. After playing a few songs or skipping through songs the Ipod will shut off and restart itself. PLEASE HELP!

  • IPod Nano shuts down randomly and doesn't restart unless connected

    This happened to me two days ago. I was working on a pool listening to a podcast, with the iPod in my pocket. I was wearing black pants and it was very hot, so I'm not sure if it's simply an issue of overheating, but what happened was while I was listening to the podcast the iPod completely shut down. I took it out of my pocket and tried to reset it holding the menu and center buttons, but the iPod wouldn't respond to this. The iPod was completely charged the night before so I'm sure this isn't an issue. I took it home and hooked it up to my computer and it worked fine. But today, it did the same thing, listening to the same podcast (TalkRadar) and wouldn't respond to the menu and center buttons again, but it responded to plugging it in to the computer. Something else happened, too, the iPod would turn on and off randomly even while connected to the computer and I would have to unplug the iPod and re-plug it back in. Does anybody have an idea of what the problem is? I want to know whether or not I should send it in for repair.

    If resetting or restoring the ipod does not work, take it to an Apple Store. Let the staff examine it. If you have Apple Care, call them.

  • My ipod nano shuts down when it gets unlocked. Why? and how can i fix it?

    Every time I unlock my Ipod nano it shuts itself off. I can turn it back on and get it to play music but it shuts of within a few seconds. If i manage to pick a playlist and lock it, my ipod will play it for hours but a soon as i unlock it the ipod shutsdown again.

    I advise you to consult Apple Support. If still under warranty, request for a replacement.

  • Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

    I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

    I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
    The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
    Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
    I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
    I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
    I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
    By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
    I hope this helps.

  • IPod nano Shuts Down my Windows 7 in the middle of syncing

    What the heck... I received this iPod Nano as a gift, moved all of my items into iTunes, only to have it repeatedly shut down my PC mid-sync.  I've seen this issue in threads dating back to 2010, but I haven't been able to find any posting that actually fixes it, and no formal bulletin from Apple. Perhaps I haven't searched hard enough or long enough, but I've certainly tried.  If anyone knows where an answer exists, could someone please re-post the link here?  iPod syncs 1/4 of the way through, then completely shuts everything OFF.  Have tried numerous times, verified as current all the drivers I can think of, checked for port conflicts (as best as I know how), shut off anti-virus... I'm about to give up and return it to Apple.  I'm using a Gateway Windows 7. 
    I'm also suspicious that it may possibly have something to do with the content (?)  I have a fully legal audio-book on CD that I'd sync'd to my pc, (and never had a problem syncing to my Droid) ... this is one bit of content that's never made it onto the iPod.
    Thanks for the help!

    Check the sample rate and bitrate against what the iPod is able to play.

  • EOS rebel T3i: why is video recording suddenly shutting down after just a few seconds?

    I have made dozens of movies with this card. Suddenlly the camera automatically shuts down video recording after just a few seconds. I've made dozens of movies with this card. Reformatted card. Still happens.

    Sounds like a bad memory card. Have you tried another card?

  • Why does my ipod nano shut off after taken out of charger

    Whenever I take out my iPod Nano Generation 6, out of the charger cord, it works until I press the power button, and stays in sleep mode. Even after holding the power button, it won't turn back on.

    This used to happen once in a while with my ipod classic.  You need to "reset" the ipod.  For the 6th Gen. Nano, try holding down the sleep/wake button and the volume down button simultaneously, for about 8-10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears.  You can also see the info here: support.apple.com/kb/HT1320

    welcome!
    1) have you tried resetting your nano? hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears
    if that doesnt work
    2) try restoring your nano: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
