IPod Pauses On Hold In Pocket.. Why?

I use my 5G iPod at work, mostly. It stays in my pocket so when I sit down, it presses against the side of my leg. It seems there's some sort of magic combination of buttons that makes the iPod pause when held down. It's not the headphone connector, I've tested just holding down all the buttons on the click wheel midsong and it does it every time. Has anyone else discovered this? It's really annoying.

Yea, numerous times.I've put it on hold, held it with two hands and pressed down the entire click wheel with both thumbs, not even hard, and it pauses, so I have to unhold it and unpause. It seems to be a built-in function, unless I have a defective iPod and only mine does it.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods where shipped with defective cables.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs

This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

IPOD PAUSES RANDOMLY

I have a problem with my Ipod, actually it's becoming a big issue. My Ipod stops randomly when using other headphones than those from apple.
I read on the internet that a lot of people is experiencing this problem but Apple makes nothing to solve it. Even people is getting new Ipods from Apple and the problem persists.
Does anybody how to deactivate that feature that makes the Ipod to pause if the earphones are unplugged? Any other idea?
Best regards,
Antonio.

All non-Ipod issued headphones have been "problematic" for me. Unfortunately, I do not have the option of staying away from these problematic headphones as suggested by Apple support (what kind of support is that?) as the standard issues do not fit in my ears.
I now actually despise my Ipod. I used it for exercising all the time before I upgraded to Photo 60G. Now my afternoon jog consists of hitting play, hold, putting away in my hip pouch, walking a foot, Ipod pausing, digging out, take off hold, hit play, put on hold, put away and REPEATING as necessary. Needless to say, I don't make it very far these days and I'm in a bad mood after to boot. And no, my headphones have never actually come unplugged as has been suggested is what sets off this feature.
Glad the extra money I spent went into such a well thought out and obviously untested with 3rd party headphones feature.
You know they will take this off or allow it to be disabled in the next generation, until then the problem will continue to be ignored. I JUST WANT MY OLD IPOD BACK!
In the meantime, Ill continue to spread word about this problem. STICK WITH THE TRIED AND TRUE Ipods, don't get new generation/photos.

My ipod pause's number of times durning a song

When i play a song it starts to play than during the song all of the sudden with me not touching a thing, of the ipod it will pause's on me. I press the play button and it will play some more of the song than it will do it again.
Plz help me

I'm just going to copy&paste what I recommended to another person that was having trouble with the iPod pausing:
If these are freezing while playing only specific playlists, I'd try recreating the iTunes Library as described in article: 93313 to see if maybe it was an issue with the content. Do you notice specific songs are being affected more than others (if you got some through CDs and some through Limewire or the iTunes store or something).
Try restoring the iPod after this, and see if the issue persists.
Another thing you might want to try out, before going through that other troubleshooting would be to try keeping the hold switch on while playing the content, sometimes it recognizes that the headphones are being disconnected and makes the song pause. I've seen it happen before.
Hope I helped out.

NEED PRO. HELP!!! IPOD PAUSING!!!

I guess I will just explain this again and i wont make another post about this but i need HELP!!
My iPod will be playing music on hold, and you know how you do that to prevent the iPod from accidentally turning up the iPod? You iPod owners know that the clickwheel is VERY sensitive. Anyways, while its on hold, it will pause, and if you look at the ipod, it will display the little pause sign and lock sign signifying hold. Which means, at random times it will pauses on hold and i didnt do it....I need help! what kind of problem is this? What do I do? Who do i call? I need help, anykind!! lol....any type of help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Jozlyn

Is the hold button working? Can you use it while on hold?

My iPod pauses/turns off during the same songs while docked in my speakers.

Why does my iPod pause during certain songs each time. Some are downloaded from iTunes and some are imported from CDs. I have deleted and reimported the ones from CDs, but it still happens. This is really agrivating and has nothing to do with the headphone jack because I am not using the headphones. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? It seems to be the same songs each time.

A few questions:
1. Do the songs play correctly in iTunes?
2. Have the songs ever played correctly on the iPod?
3. What format are the songs in? (Highlight the song in question in iTunes, then right click and do get info. Look at the summary tab. For example, here's a song a ripped long ago from CD into iTunes:
What do you see for the songs that are giving you trouble? Is there something common in the kind, bit rate, sample rate, or encoder that is different from the songs that work correctly?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

5th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes, why?

5th generartion ipod is not recognized by itunes, why it this?
thank you.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
If it does not charge
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Ipod permanetly on hold and DND screen displayed - Help!

hooked up my iPod to my PC and then attempted to start up iTunes. After several failed attempts to start up iTunes (i.e., double-clicked several times, waited, and nothing happened), I disconnected my iPod. Only then I was able to start up iTunes. However, the "Do Not Disconnect" notification is frozen on the iPod screen. I tried to reconnect the iPod to my PC (with and without iTunes running) and the iPod screen remained frozen. The computer no longer recognised the ipod as a drive, nor in itunes. The hold icon remains permantly on even after toggling the hold switch on/off several times. Resetting the ipod does not work as the click wheel is not responsive (ipod on permanent hold)

If holding the MENU and SELECT (center) button doesn't work, you might just have to let the battery completely discharge. This will force the iPod to reset the next time you connect it to power.

My new ipod 2 is not charging battery, why?

my new ipod 2 is not charging battery, why?

Please provide some more information. What charger are you using? Are you connected to a wall outlet or to a computer or hub? If you're connected to a computer, is it a high powered hub? Are you using your iPad while charging?
There's a good iPad charging FAQ at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060

Ipod does not hold charge

My iPod Classic only holds a charge for 10 minutes. Can this be repaired?

How old is the iPod? Perhaps the battery may just be worn out and in need of replacement. How are you trying to charge the iPod?

FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
Good Luck!
