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.

  • S 4 Shuts down randomly and won't restart

    Hello,
       I brought and S 4 7/27 and loved it for the first few days. A few days later it started shutting down randomly and the only way to restart is to take the battery out. That works for an hour or so until it shuts down again. I've tried uninstalling all the apps I've installed but I still get the same result.
    Any sugestions?

I recommend that you back up your device at Verizon's cloud or Backup Assistance and then hard reset your phone if the power cycling issue persists.

    You have the mid-2010 problem. There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What you can do to use it is download gfxcardstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel. That will lessen the panics at the expense of graphics speed.
    You may be eligible for a depot repair, which is a flat rate of about $310. Ask at the Genius Bar. Take along a printout of your panic.

  • Shutting down randomly and racing motor when trying to restart

    Hello,
    Having a couple of ongoing issues with my G5. The first one is that it is shutting down randomly. If I'm in the room when it happens, it will emit a couple of clicking sounds then shut off. This just happened and I lost some work on Final Cut as I had not time to save it.
    The second issue is when I try to re-start it the motor just gradually builds until it is roaring a bit. I then hit the button to shut it off. Wait about 15 minutes and then turn it on.
    I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to correct these issue on my own.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John, have you blown the dust out lately, or if liquid cooled looked for leaks.corrosion?
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    And/or iStat Pro...

    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 7th Gen iPod Nano shuts off randomly

    My iPod Nano is just about my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever bought from apple. I'm primarily a pc user when it comes to computers, and having a basic, small iPod means I can listen to music and podcasts and leave the more complicated tasks to the equipment that I've spent more money on. However, my iPod recently started bugging out in a way that makes it nearly unuseable.
    The iPod will quite happily run for a day or so if I don't use the touch screen. This is fine for podcasts as I can use the volume and play-pause on the outside. However, if I want to make a choice on the screen, about one in five touches will cause the iPod to shut off. If I reset it, it will either flash the apple logo and shut off again, or get to the homescreen with the loading symbol, then make three short beeps and shut off again. General internet searches have proved fruitless, and although the iPod is cheap enough that I can buy a new one without it being too much of an issue, I would much prefer to keep that money for other things.
    Although apple hardware isn't my area of expertise, I believe that there may be some kind of issue with the battery, as there have been black-outs and brown-outs in my area and my iPod has ben charging during a couple of these. I was thinking that the RAM could also be in bad shape for some reason, but I did a dram test, which it passed. The iPod is currently in diagnostic mode, so I can give information on the battery and the like if that would help, but I have no idea what the numbers mean personally.
    My warranty ran out a few weeks ago and I live about two hours from the nearest Genius store, so bringing it back isn't really an option. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Well the bug appears to have been fixed by the 1.0.3 patch. My battery is still stuffed so I will have to buy a new one at one point, but at least this issue is sorted out.

  • MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
    Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
    ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
    Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE help

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
    Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
    Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
    You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
    Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions?

  • PT 880 neo shuts down randomly and wont reboot.

    Hi I have a major problem here. My computer will randomly shut down and then try and re-boot, the only thing is that it wont... it wont even load the bios, it just sits there with a black screen.  To make it boot again I have to take the Ram out or video card, push power turn it off and plug the ram or video card back in. Then it will boot up fine. That is untill it will do the same thing and just randomly shut down.  Sometimes it will be days and somtimes its minuts between this procces.  I have the latest 1.8 bios and My pc used to run perfect, that is before I upgraded it.
    My pc ran fine for about a month and then I upgraded some parts.  DDR 2300 2x512 upgraded to DDr 3200 2x512  a 9800pro upgraded to  6800GT  and a 3.06 northwood P$ upgraded to  3.2 Prescott P4.
    My PSU is 50watt  my mobo is pt880neo lsr.
    MY brain is fryed and I dont know what is wrong!   do I need a new mobo?  new ram?
    what is wrong I have never heard of such a wierd problem.
    btw my ram is Geil value ram  (its on the suported list)
    Sombody please help me I am loosing my hair.

    So far so good about ram voltage, but please spec. 3,3 / 5 /12v + Brand/model ( read from PSU label ).
    values from bios/software reading is not always what the psu give under stress.
    You may also need to run memtest86, to secure that memorymodules are fine.

  • '10 MBP shuts down randomly and frequently

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro recently began freezing and shutting down completely seemingly at random. I've turned graphics switching off in an effort to resolve the problem to no avail. I've switched browsers to see if Google Chrome was the cause but still got the freezes.
    These freezes began once I upgraded to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I've completely wiped the laptop and freshly installed the OSX but still encountered the freezing.
    I took it to a local Apple repair shop and it did not freeze for them, yet I usually can't have it on for more than thirty minutes without a lock-up. They did clean the fans and I am still getting freezes.

    I actually took it to my local apple certified repair shop and left out with them for a few days. when I went to pick it up, they informed me that my laptop hadn't shut down at all while they had it. they cleaned out the fans and didn't charge me.
    I was skeptical and when I returned home, it immediately shut down three times in a row. I was prepared to go back with error report on hand but it suddenly began working properly. over the past week and a half or so, the laptop has only randomly shut down about three times.
    I should probably still take it back in as I found a thread mentioning a problem similar to this on my model mbp that is possibly covered by apple. but, I've been almost satisfied by the much more stable condition that its been in.
