IPod Nano shuts off even after hold switch engaged...HELP!

I have a new iPOD Nano. When I run, I engage the hold switch. Even when I do that, over half the time, the iPOD still shuts off on its own after < 1 minute. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.<br>

HT1339 After I disconnect from my PC, my iPod nano shuts off and won't come back on? How do I fix this?

When I disconnect from my PC, my nano shuts off and won't come back on. I have tried holding down both the On/Off and the Home buttons -- but nothing...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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

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.

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.

Why does my iPod nano shut off randomly? I just bought it. After about a minute of music, it shuts off.

I just bought my wife an iPod nano. Went through the set up and then updated the iPod through iTunes. Now, after about a minute of music (with two different sets of headphones) it simply shuts off. As if it's in power convseration mode. But I can't find a setting to prevent this. Very frustrating for having JUST bought this.

If you have not already, do a Reset following this procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
A Reset just restarts the iPod. It is not erased.
If that does not help, the most likely fix for your problem would be a Restore. This WILL erase the iPod, re-install its softare, and set it to default settings. To do it, select the iPod in the iTune sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The button for doing a Restore is there.
For anything that is currently on your computer (such as songs and pictures) that were synced to the iPod, you can just re-sync them. That should not take too long, even if you do it manually (without using automatic syncing).
For anything that is only on the iPod (not on your computer), they will be lost if you do a Restore. But that was a known risk. After all, your iPod could be lost or stolen (or seriously damaged), and those items would be lost.
If those items are songs you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them (at no cost) on the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
or even be recognized by my computer when it is like this. It just sits there.
If you are having a problem getting the iPod to be recognized by iTunes, which is necessary to do a Restore, try this... Set the iPod to Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Then, see if iTunes will recognize it when connected. Also, if it is recognized more reliably in Disk Mode, before doing a Restore, you can try using a third-party method or utility to transfer song files off the iPod to your computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

My ipod nano is frozen, but my hold switch is broken so I can't reset it.

I have an 8gb ipod nano. When I plugged it into my computer to sync it it said I had to restore it. I clicked restore, but it said the ipod couldn't be found and then my ipod froze. I can't reset it because my hold switch no longer works and toggling it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and

RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My 7th Generation iPod Nano shuts off whenever I press a button.

I bought my iPod nano 16 GB a few months ago, and I noticed that sometimes, when I tried to open the screen (pressing the top button or the menu button) instead of opening, the iPod shut itself completely, and then rebooted, I could see the Apple logo on white screen, etc.
I went to exchange it once, after I finally managed to find the time, and then, when I tried the new one, it had exactly the same problem, but twice as worse.
Now when I try to choose a song, open the screen, wander in my playlists or even when the song ends and tries to load the next one, it reboots, and at the same time, it generally resets the general settings (brightness, wallpaper, time zone, etc.)
Now, I don't know exactly what is wrong with those 2 iPods, but it is very frustrating, and discouraging. I can't even manage to choose a song before it reboots and I have to try again, after what it generally crashes again. I'd say it does 75% of the time I touch it.
I am using a windows 7 64-bit laptop, incase that helps, but apart from going back to the store and getting a 3rd one that, hopefully works properly this time around, which I could barely find time to, since I live far as **** from the closest applestore here, I don't see what I could possibly have done wrong.
Also, I never dropped it, or even scratched its screen, I never had any problems while synchronizing it and I never bullied it either.

Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

Ipod nano shut off completely won't turn on

I had just finished deleting some songs from my ipod but screwed it up when trying to apply settings then syncing after deleting so nothing I deleted stayed deleted on my ipod nano 7th generation so I deleted them on iTunes, old songs that didn't play. so I synced and went to use my ipod nano and played a song from a CD that was sketchy at best I got from my library (It shouldn't matter right) and BAM it just turns off completely, screen is black, does not turn on when I hold the standby button or plug it in an outlet or a lightning cable for the computer. help. is this the end of my nano? it's been too long since I bought it I can't return it. I don't know if it was me deleting songs manually from ITunes then syncing, or If it was playing that one CD I haven't played on my ipod. I'm not sure if it was in great condition when it synced but then again, I played other songs from CDs that didn't burn all the songs because the CD was scratched or in bad condition. I almost think its because I finally deleted a song from my ipod that was possibly corrupt, then corrupted my Ipod because I deleted it. A lot of these old songs were from my old sansa sandisk mp3 player.

I found out the problem it froze and I went to the ipod nano troubleshooting and performed a system reset (hold home and standby buttons) very cool although I don't know how it happened if anyone has any suggestions.
also I have an iPhone wonder if I should back up my songs there, though I feel less comfortable having my whole library on my phone, despite it having much more options than the nano.

Ipod nano shuts off in the middle of songs

Received a 6th generation ipod nano for Christmas, and it frequently stops playing in the middle of songs and shuts down. Anyone have any ideas? Battery power is not the issue as it has happened with the battery at nearly full charge, and also with it at less than half charge. I can usually turn it back on again, but sometimes it is more difficult. Headphones are fully plugged in so that is not the issue. Is the device defective?

If you are positive the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones are flush with the Nano, also check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
Otherwise, bring it in for service as it may be a hardware malfunction with the headphone jack.

New iPod nano shut off by car adaptor

Husband bought me a new iPod nano. We just got a scorchue iPod adapter to use in the car a few months ago. We use it and my. New nano will go to sleep and turn off. However if we use our iPhone 3GS if it goes into sleep mode it still plays. So I have to keep waking up the nano and it's basically useless. Any suggestions?

I had this problem when I started. But there is a support item that says your headphones are not completely plugged in. Once they are plugged in all the way this problem goes away.

My brand new 6th gen ipod nano shuts off for no reason. the headphone is all the way plugged in. has done it since i bought it a week ago...any suggestions?

Plays part of a song, shuts off. Doesn't matter if it is plugged fully into a jack or docked onto a radio. Anything I find online shows that this is common for this ipod..should I return it and get something that actually works?

...should I return it and get something that actually works?
Yes.
It's not normal.

Why won't my Apple Wireless keyboard connect or turn off even after holding the button down?

I have installed windows 8 release preview on my mac mini through boot camp. When pressing alt to choose to boot into mac, I pressed alt too soon and so windows started to load. When it loaded I realised my keyboard was no longer working. The light just flashed. I tried holding the power button to turn it off and normally this would work fine but this time it wouldn't turn off. I took out the batteries and replaced them and it still won't turn off. And even now, it won't connect to my mac mini or my iPad either. I've read on a forum that it might reset if I take the batteries out for 30 mins so I'll try again tomorrow and then report back, but I'm quite annoyed about this!

It turns out it was faulty batteries!! Just bought an Apple battery charger so will use that from now on!
