Ipod Nano touch - voice over off, but still talks.

Hello,
I bought my boyfriend the ipod nano multi-touch back in March. We couldn't seem to get the voice to stop interrupting our music. Then one day my boyfriend calls me down to the car to hear something weird... So, I go down and the ipod was going crazy. Over our car speakers it was playing a song for about 3 seconds and then giving all the info about the song, then it changed the song and did this over and over again. We took it to apple and they took it into the back for a few minutes. When they came back they said that they heard what it was doing when they plugged in their headphones to the ipod. They also said that they turned the voice over off and that was our problem.... okay that was about a month ago. Now... its doing all over again! The bizarre thing is that the voice over is off... we've done the restart and the resetting but nothing seems to be working. When the voice over thing isn't going crazy, it skips songs with out us touching it... This is very frustrating! If anybody has any idea how to fix this or any information on if apple can help or replace please let me know.
Thank you!

Something is shorting out inside the iPod or something is shorting out the headset you are using, if it has buttons on the wire.
Even if voiceover is turned off, you can still make a 6th Gen Nano speak. What you are hearing is the track information. The nano will speak this to you if you press and hold the button on your headset (assuming you have a headset with buttons). If water gets into those buttons, it can cause the button to act like it is being pressed, pressed and held, etc.
This can also happen if moisture gets inside the Nano.
Does this only happen after exercise? Has it gotten wet?
First, make sure it gets totally dried out. You can put it in a baggie with some rice to dry it out - just make sure none of the rice gets into the headset jack!

IPod Nano repeat setting is off but playlist repeats

My iPod Nano repeat setting is "off" but playlist repeats. How do I stop this?

If you select a playlist, even without the repeat turned on, when you get to the end of the playlist it automatically starts over (just like your car audio system will play track one again after it finishes the last song on a CD).

IPod nano and Voice Over mode problems

The iPod Nano keeps going into Voice Over mode despite it being in the "Off" position under settings. Am I doing something to override the settings and how can I get it to stop?

you may have enable voice over set in the iTunes settings
to turn it off do the following
-connect ipod to computer
-when ipod shows up in the left column of iTunes under "devices" click on the ipod name
-in the summary page, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you get to a section that says "options"
-under options deselect the checkbox next to "enable voice over"
-click apply and that should turn it off
hope this helps:)

IPod nano (5th Generation) Black Screen but still plays Music

Problem:
I see a black screen and no backlit normal screen - there's a faint Apple Logo when the device is turned on.
I can navigate the scroll wheel and hear the audible "clicks" when circling the scroll wheel.
I can push play and it will play music just fine. FF, Rewind, Menu, Play/pause all work correctly.
Tried the following:
Menu + Select + held down for 5-10 seconds. faint apple logo dissapppears then I push Play and it re-appears. Still plays music just fine but screen still black with faint apple logo and no back light.
Restore Factory Settings via iTunes. It erased all media. put a song on there to test. can play song but same issue (no back light OS, just black + faint apple logo on the display)
Tried Rewind + select to enter diagnostics - nothing happens, same issue
Please help.

IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited. See this article for more details.

My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

Ipod Nano will not turn off

My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
Thanks for your reply.

Ipod nano touch 6g ecran blanc

Bonjour
Je possède un ipod ipod nano touch 6g qui est bloqué en éran blanc.
Impossible d'accéder au menu diagnostique.
L'interface revient quand je fait la restauration de l'appareil par itunes, mais ne reste pas quand je l'éteind.
Je peux l'utiliser uniquement en clef usb de 16 Go pour le moment.
La restauration a été testé sur Windows 7 et sur MacOs 10.6.8 le problème reste identique.
Celui-ci vient de chez apple suite à un échange SAV (donc pas une contrefaçon enfin je l'espère) et n'a jamais été démonté.
Pouvez vous me dire d'où vient le problème ? Car je trouve la clef de 16Go un peu cher.
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.

Rough translation via Google:
Hello
I have an ipod touch ipod nano 6g is blocked LCD white.
Unable to access the diagnostic menu.
The interface comes back when I made the restoration of the device by iTunes, but do not stay when I turn off.
I can only use 16 GB USB key for now.
The restoration has been tested on Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6.8 the problem remains the same.
It comes from apple after an exchange service (not an infringement at least I hope) and has never been removed.
Can you tell me where is the problem? Because I think the key to 16GB a bit expensive.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

My Ipod nano touch is not charging, not showing in my PC or laptop. Last I saw an apple icon and low battery signal. There after the screen is black and no power not taking AC or PC charge. What Can I do?

If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
How can I solve this problem?

Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order
