Ipod shuffle only stays on for 3 seconds

I've had my IPod shuffle for a week now and it no longer stays switched on. I turn it on and the green light goes on for about 3 seconds then goes off again.
I have tried Resetting with no efffect. I have also tried Restoring to factory settings, still nothing.
I have left it to recharge on a USB 2 port for at least 4 hours so it should be charged.
When it's connected I can see the songs in iTunes I reloaded them after Resetting.
I think the IPod is faulty.. after only a week!
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Colin

Ah ha.. thanks.
I had tried listening before I made sure it was charged but it wasn't playing because of the lack of charge.
I assumed that the LED was on all the time it was playing.
Thanks for this.
Colin

Restart your phone,hold the home button and the off button down till the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it , you need to do a restore in itunes by connecting to itunes , click on your phones name to the left, then click restore in the center of the screen and restore from backup.

Try quitting Newsstand completely - double tap home button, delete it from the multitasking shelf - then launch it again.

My camera only stays on for a second then shuts off. I have the new iPad with retina display

My new iPads camera shuts off a second after I turn it on, what can I do ?

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Some telephone numbers only stay visible for a second or two, refreshing the screen brings them back but again for a second ie too short to note down. How can I stop this (use Vista Basic on laptop)?

When searching for numbers on a business website quite often, though not always, the telephone number only appears very briefly. Copying the web address on to Internet Explorer the number stays visible. Only happens on telephone numbers not for any other info eg email address.
Have no idea why this happens as it appears to be random though it must relate to how a website is viewed. Wouldn't where to start to fix this!

Mac Book only turns on for 15 seconds after SMC reset

I've had this Macbook for a couple years now. The charger has already gone on me once. A while ago, the charger stopped working (no light), so I got it replaced under warranty. They sent me just the power block and the cord that goes into the computer.
With the new charger, the light still doesn't come on, but I know it's charging because the battery would be long dead by now.
However, the computer won't fully turn on. The power button does nothing. However, if I do an SMC reset, I can get it to turn on but after 15 seconds, it turns back off.
Previously, it turned on, then I could enter my login details, but the screen would turn off before anything would load. I could hit the power button, and it would awake the computer again. It seemed to be in sleep mode then. I never got to anything other than the login screen.
As I said before, right now if I do a SMC reset, it will turn on, but not before. And it only stays on for 15 seconds or so. I never get past the Apple logo.
Any ideas? Thanks so much! Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

That is how your ipad is designed to work.
Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.

I own an iPod shuffle (4th generation). For some reason, the only music that will sync to my iPod are the songs I purchased off of iTunes. (Most of my music is copied off my CD's)

My iPod shuffle only syncs music that was purchased from the iTunes store. Most of my music has been copied off of CD's and none of that music will sync to my iPod. Please help!

Sorry for the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

I am glad that bbqdevil's *workaround* will "do the trick"
Did you give the Timer idea a try yet? It seems to me that you are really needing to know when a certain amount of time has elapsed rather than *time how long you have being taking a reading*. Will you always have your hand free to tap the Watch? If so, why would you need the StopWatch going? - just look again at the sweep second hand on the clock.
It still remains that one should be able to set the time elapsed before sleep on a Chronograph w/ sweep second WatchFace though. I have searched and searched, to no avail.
I would suggest Siri, but it seems like many issues with Siri are ongoing and might just add another problem to the mix.
If I were you, I would Call Apple Support. It is sometimes tricky to get that option in the "breadcrumb" process Apple has instituted, but I was able to test the process before suggesting this:
Click/Tap > https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Choose Apple Watch
Choose "Setup & Usage..."
Choose "The topic is not listed"
Enter "set sleep duration" > [Continue]
(I know this in not exactly right, but the point is to be vague)
Pick your poison - I would ONLY choose to talk with them on the phone
Rehearse an "elevator pitch" statement* for the Specialist that you get AND when you get no satisfaction (likely) ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR
I have NEVER gotten an answer from a Level 1 Specialist - they are reading from a Knowledge Base not unlike all the resources available to us online
I have ALWAYS gotten satisfaction from a Senior Specialist (sometimes pretty high up the chain - but always)
Here's a sample "elevator pitch" that I actually sent as Feedback on the Apple Watch User Guide page
I need to change the duration 'before' the Watch goes to sleep while observing the Chronograph Watch Face.
I am a healthcare provider. I need to use my Watch to assist me in taking vital signs. On a normal watch, I would start counting pulses or respirations at a 15 second interval on the Analog Chronograph sweep second hand > stop counting at the next 15 sec. interval > multiply X 4 to get rate/minute.
The Watch goes to sleep after SEVEN (7) seconds !! Therefore I cannot see when 15 seconds has elapsed. I use both hands regularly in the procedure, so touching the Watch is not an option - or 'raise the Watch' to my viewing position.
I, and others in the ASC forum have searched for a Setting for the before sleep duration in vain.
Let us know what you decide.

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode! Any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Thanks....

I assume you have checked your sleep settings in System Preferences>Energy saver
I also assume this has just happened recently and spontaneously, not after installing any particular hardware or software or you would probably have mentioned it...if anything new has been added recently, obviously just remove it!
It could be the battery - have your tried it just on mains? If it's a pre unibody MacBook try it without the battery at all. This could happen if you have a non-Apple (cheap Chinese) replacement battery.
Try NVRAM, PRAM & SMC resets (Google if you don't know how)
Try booting from the install media and repairing or reinstalling OS X. (Back up first!)
Just out of interest if you boot from a DVD or go into Open Firmware or Boot Select modes, does it still sleep after 30 seconds or is it just in OS X?

My iPhone 5 will not turn on. And when it does, it will only stay on for a short while and then it dies again.

Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list.

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it. it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them. My older shuffle never had this problem. How can I solve this?

Your older shuffle, if 1st or 2nd gen, did not have the ability to play from multiple playlist. It was essentially just ONE playlist that you loaded manually using iTunes. A very simple device. With the new shuffle, it works more like the "bigger" iPods and you can load more than one playlist (so it is more complex), but if you select a specific playlist (using VoiceOver), it works like the old shuffle.
My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it.
That is probably because you are playing songs from the All Songs list, instead of choosing a specific playlist using VoiceOver. Podcasts do not play from the All Songs list.
it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them.
If you use VoiceOver to select a podcast, it only plays episodes from that particular podcast.
Here's what you can do, to make it work like your old shuffle. Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Podcasts" or whatever you want. Treat that new playlist like your old shuffle. Manually add the podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, in the order you want to hear them, on that playlist. NOTE: You can adjust the playlist order after adding the podcast episodes.
Select the shuffle in iTunes. You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you set up how iTunes syncs podcasts. Check the box for Sync Podcasts. Below that, since you have a playlist with the podcasts you want on the shuffle, you only need to go to the list under Include Episodes from Playlists and checkmark that iPod Podcasts playlist.
When you click Apply, the episodes on that playlist sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update the podcasts on the shuffle, update that iPod Podcasts playlist (add and remove episodes) in iTunes. Then, the next time you connect the shuffle, iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes. If the shuffle is already connected, click the Sync button to update.
When using the shuffle, set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. Podcasts are skipped on playlists, if the power switch is set to shuffle. Use VoiceOver to switch to that iPod Podcasts playlist. The podcast episodes should play in playlist order.
NOTE: You can load songs in the same way. Create an "iPod Songs" playlist in iTunes, with the songs you want on the shuffle. Go to the shuffle's Music tab, and select that playlist. And audiobooks on the Books tab. You can load as many playlists as you want. The big advantage of the new shuffle is that you can have different types of content and keep them organized on separate playlists.
Here's information about VoiceOver, in case it is not already set up.
