Ipod nano turns of after short amount of time

My Ipod nano 6th G turns off after about 30 seconds. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano. No silver from the headphone's plug should still be seen.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then

After short period of time my messages are disappearing from my Icloud mail account.Why does it happen?Can I restore them back?

I can't understand my Icloud mail behavior.All messages I sent are stored in sent box as usual whereas messages I receive are disappearing after short period of time (no more then 2 weeks).Why does it happen?Do I have any chance to restore them?

Unfotunately I'm not eligable for MAC support over the phone and have to take it in to the Genius Bar. Hmmmpf.
But I was able to isolate the errors (using Console) that occurred just prior to the network failing:

Ipod Nano turns automatically on and off

Hi there,
I have the following problem.
My Ipod Nano 4GB turns always on and off. The result is, that my windows pc can't recognise it.
I have tried everything to restore the ipod, but this doesn't work as well. As soon as I push the Menu the Select Button after the Hold function nothing happens. The Ipod turns off for a short time and on again. Its always the same game...any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thanks Beat

Hello Mo0nangel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
Updating iPod software
If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:

Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

My iPod Nano is ,,dead" after formatting it

Hi. I've got a big problem
I bought an iPod Nano 2GB yesterday and i had problems with updating it, so I've formatted it (not restored- formatted using the right click in My Computer and ,,Format") And still the software didn't want to install... So I've restarted computer and unplugged iPod.
And now, it doesn's want to turn on (I think, that battery's full, beacuse I've charged it about an hour earlier). Maybe it's the fault of format? I've plugged an iPold and nothing happens... it's dead... ;(

Hello,
Have you seen this article?
iPod won't turn on
Does your iPod respond if you try to reset it? (hold the "menu" and "select" (center) buttons together for 7 seonds until the Apple logo appears on screen).
After you try resetting it, does your iPod display anything when you connect it to your computer, or not?
Deos your iPod correctly go into disk mode if you try?

Have you tried a restore on your iPod? Or do you get any error messages when trying to acess the iPod Updater? See this link for details about this...

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

IPod Nano turns itself on, and won't stay off

Hi, everybody!
I've had my iPod Nano for about two years now, and have noticed this problem occasionally, but it usually goes away and it has never been this bad.
Here is one scenario: I turn my iPod off by holding the play button. The screen fades to black. I move to set my iPod down, and it immediately lights up again. I press and hold the play button, but instead of turning off, the iPod begins to play music. I pause the song and press and hold again. The iPod fades to black, but again lights up the minute I move my hand.
Here is another scenario: the iPod has been off for several hours. Suddenly, it lights itself up. I pick it up and turn it off, but it again continues to light up as it sits on the desk.
This, of course, runs down the battery--I've had to charge my iPod every day for the past few days because it kills itself, waking up over and over when I'm not around to turn it off again. I'm used to only needing to charge it every few days.
I've tried setting the hold switch once I do get it to sleep, but all that means is that I then have to take it out of hold again a few seconds later to turn it off when it lights itself up. I've restarted over and over, but it keeps happening. I've also recently restored it, with no results. I don't have any alarms set, and there is nothing on my iPod but music and album artwork--no calendar, etc.
It seems to do this most when I am moving around the room. I'm wondering if, somehow, it has become hyper-sensitive and is waking up because it thinks it's being touched? (That sounds so creepy.) It also wakes up instantly if I touch the USB port on the bottom. But of course it also must do this when I'm not around, because often I'll come into the room to find the battery 50% lower than it was when I left. (And I'm the only one who uses my iPod.)
As I said, this has happened before over the two years of its life, but over the past three days or so, it has become nearly constant. I haven't dropped the iPod, it hasn't gotten wet, I haven't done anything unusual with it, so I am at a loss to explain the sudden recurrence of the issue.
I'd appreciate any kind of help!
