Ipod shuffle switch off at the end of a playlist?

Hi,
I would like my ipod shuffle to automatically switch off at the end of a playlist (or after a certain time).
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? A firmware update or hack that solves this?
Regards,

It's a simple player. That's the way it works.
If you can explain why (the situation when) you need your shuffle to play just one audio file, and then stop, maybe I (or someone else) can come up with a workaround to achieve what you need.

If you tried everythng here then it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

Is there a way to have an Ipod shuffle pause at the end of a playlist?

I have one playlist with one file in it and I want the ipod shuffle (4th gen.) to play that one file and then end. The ipod just keeps repeating the one file when I put it on either of the two switch settings. Anyone know how to get it to pause or shut off at the end of the song?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

IPod shuffle switch could use a ridge or be non-slip

I almost crush my iPod shuffle trying to get the switch to slide. Could they not have put a single ridge or groove to get some traction on the switch slider? A rubberized texture would help as well. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I have the same problem. I end up licking my fingers to turn it on, like when I can't turn pages that are too slippery. I know that can't be good for the ipod. I really have problems when I am driving (I have it hooked to my car stereo)and am trying to turn it on or off. Sometimes I just can't make it budge. My fingers just slide over top of it. They must assume everyone who buys one is very young with naturally moist fingers.

My ipod shuffle turns off after exactly 30 seconds of play. Already had a similar problem?

Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

please help me..
my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
help!
does this happen to any of you??

I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
Anyway, try playing a song and try again.

Ipod kept switching off

Has anyone else experienced this?
Yesterday my ipod kept switching off during songs. A tap on the central button switched it back on and it continued playing but kept doing this every minute or so. The screen just kept greying out.
Today I switch it on and it plays fine continuously. Is this just a glitch or can I stop it if it starts doing it again?

I had the exact symptoms you describe. (nano 3rd gen) Not sure if it was necessary, but I went ahead and performed the restore. So far it's going along as it had before.

I got a text saying that if I don't pay my bill, my service is going to get cut off by the end of the day. I don't have the funds to pay it in full, so I paid half the amount. Would that suffice? Or would I have to pay it in its entirety to save my accoun

As it was pointed out making prior arrangements could of helped extend the time you need to get your account back in order..
But if you have to have the phone and its the only thing you have to make calls, I would try other means ( Family, Friends, or other ) to get the rest of the balance payed and you can pay at a Corporate store using the stores Kiosk machine.! You can pay with Cash, Credit or I think with a check but using a check I'd ask the Local store how the policy is on that..
Hope that Helps.! Good luck..

Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

TS1424 When downloading an album from itunes one song did not download properly and is cut off at the end, how to fix?

Downloaded John Mayer album bur one song is cut off at the end, how to fix??

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that song from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
