IPod shuts down after playing music for 1 minute

Whenever I try to listen to music or radio the device shuts down after exactly 1 minute. Can't find a setting to change this. I already did reset all settings, to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen. You shoul hear a sort of clicking noise when inserted the headphones to signal that they have been fully seated.

Ipod nano shuts down after playing a few minutes

I have an 2week old ipod nano and I updated it yesterday. Now it shuts down after a few minutes playing and I really don't know why. I worked perfectly before the update!!

planb77 saved me!!
He is right! i had exactly the same problem and didnt know what to do. I was really frustrated and was ready to send my new ipod back to apple store!
The headphones need a good push, you shouldn't see any metal whatsoever.. I was afraid to push it in case i broke it.
When you do it right you should hear a clicking sound. Now my ipod works just fine!
thanks a lot for the advice!

My itunes will stop working and shuts down after 5 to 10 minutes playing. I have the most recent updates. How can I repair or correct this from crashing?

Why does iTunes shut down when playing music but not using computer, why does iTunes shut down when playing music but not using computer

Hi Everybody
When I use my macbook pro running lion 10.7.2 to play music through itunes it shuts down after about 2 minutes, is there anything I can set to keep the itunes open and playing when not in use, this problem only started when I updated from snow loepard to lion.
Thanks

Hi Limnos
I have tried that but it makes no difference at all, the only way I have found to get continues sound is to open and set a keynote presentation onto play and dimmed the screen using the function key and adjusting it manually so as not to kicker my screen, there must be an easier way than this.
Thanks for trying

Annoying shut down when playing music

Can anyone help please. My mac is 6 months old has the latest OS. When I leave it playing music either in Itunes or on u tube. It shuts down to login after 15 minutes. If I am using it it does not. I have disabled all energy saving options and all "never shut down" options selected. But everytime I leave it religiously shuts down after 15 minutes.
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Take a look at the Security & Privacy settings in System Preferences, the are advanced options which are described in the article below that can create an issue like where a Mac will automatically log out after 15 minutes of inactivity.

What do I do if an iPod shuts down after going into sleep mode

My friends iPod keeps shutting down after it goes into sleep mode. I just fixed it up (restored it, had to dry it out after it fell into water) and now it does that. Everything else works fine but if I put it in sleep mode or put it into sleep mode it shuts down. How do I fix this because I've never seen this happen before.

Hey Tecmo_SB_Guy,
I would suggest you take a look at advanced power settings. It can seem like the notebook is turning off when it is actually just hibernating. You can set it to not hibernate.
1. Windows key + Q to open the Search Bar
2. Type "power"
3. Click Settings under the Search Bar
4. Select Power Options from the results on the left.
5. In Power Options, Click Change when the computer sleeps, on the left.
6. Set the Put the computer to sleep setting so that it fits your usage best.
7. Click Change advanced power settings, at the bottom.
8. Expand Sleep and expand Hibernate after. If you want you can change the hibernation setting to Never by typing "Never" into the minutes field. See attached picture. You can do this for battery and/or plugged in.
9. Click Apply to save changes.
If you don't already shut it down periodically, I would suggest shutting it down at least 2-3 times a week if you use it daily. Leaving the computer running continuously can shorten its lifespan. Hard drive failures and motherboard issues are seen much more often on machines that are left running constantly. Computers get bogged down and run slowly when the memory is full. Memory only clears out and resets itself when the computer is shut down. Here is a link explaining more about memory accumulation and hardware aging.
I hope these suggestions help! Please let me know if you have any questions

Ipod Shuts down after song

Hello all,
I got an iPod Nano 3d Gen for my birthday 2 months ago.
I uploaded songs on it, and a video or two.
I everything was fine untill one day the iPod had shutdown after a song.
First I thought it was just something that'd happen once, So I restarted it and selected a song.
But again, the iPod would shutdown after the song was done.
After that my iPod has not been working like it should be, always shutting down after a song was finished.
I followed the 5 steps to fix most problems (Restart, Reboot etc)
But the problem with that was that my computer did not see the iPod.
My iPod would say it was connected for about 2 seconds, and then it would shut down again.
The Computer Management window couldn't see it either.
I tried almost everything I think, and nothing worked.
So my question is this,
Does anyone have the same problem?
Or does anyone how to fix an iPod with these problems?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

Powerbook g4 shut down after turning on for the first time every day

in recent 2 weeks, my g4 suddenly shut down after turning on 5min to several hours the 1st time everyday. after turning on 2nd time, a note show on the screen that "your computer clock is set to a date before March 24th, 2001, this may cause some applicaiton to behavior erratically" and recommed to reset the date and time. but the time is correct when i check the date&time. the battery is not out of power at that time. anyone has the same problem?

I'm not really familiar with System Optimizer, but I guess it is somewhat like Onyx or Cocktail, a system utility. You must be cleaning your caches too deeply. When you launch a document after this, an alert message appears. This relates to Security Update 2004-06-07 which was issued before 10.4 was released. So it existed in Panther, too. I would say if your utility gives you any control of what is cleaned in your caches, be choosy about it. See Dr. Smoke's FAQ here:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
If I might quote one passage:"However, after performing a System-level cache cleaning, you may again see these alerts for previously-approved applications as a System-level cache cleaning may remove the
com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore
files in your Computer > Mac OS X > Library > Caches folder. These files save, among other things, information indicating the applications you have previously approved for launch. Some cache-cleaning utilities retain these files to preserve your list of approved applications, while others remove them as they are saved in a System-related cache folder."
However, it would be best if you read the entire FAQ.

My iPod shuts down after 30 minutes. Won't turn on until plugged into dock.

My iPod plays for about 30 minutes and then shuts down. It won't come back on until I either plug it into my computer or my iHome dock. I've tried resetting and syncing it. Help!

You might have a bad battery. But first try recalibrating the battery gauge. Run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off and doesn't restart. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger. Repeat the process. If the problem remains you need a new battery.

TS4185 My Face Time always shuts down after using it for about a minute. Can anybody suggest a way to stop this happening?

Hi. My Face Time continuisely shuts itself down after about a minute of use. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this and how I can sort it out. This only happens on my MacBook Pro and not on any of my other devices.

Creating a new profile and deleting the old one seemed to fix the problem. Why the problem occurred in the first place, is beyond me. But after creating the new profile, restoring all my bookmarks, and reinstalling Flashgot, everything seems to be behaving wonderfully. For anyone else having similar issues, I recommend creating the new profile. It's easy to do, as long as you save your old one, so you can copy all the necessary files to restore your preferences and bookmarks.

IPod shuts down after white screen

I just replaced my 5G's screen (original was cracked), but after starting up, the screen is immediately all white (apple logo or menu never shows up) for a couple of seconds, I hear the HD, and then it shuts down. I can not reset using apple's method as it just keeps restarting the same way with the white screen?
Anyone have an idea of what could have gone wrong with my screen update? The instructions were pretty straight forward, and I followed them carefully.

i believe that i damaged the connector somehow (no idea how), and have sent it in to get the logic board replaced.

IPOD shuts down after restore

Renamed the IPod. Used restore feature. Now it won't hold settings and keeps shutting down. Could it be battery?

I had the same problem...
Returned it to the apple store and I never updated to the new 1.0.2 version... my iPod classic now works perfectly fine.
Advice is to return it and get a replacement.

IMac starting and shuts down after less than one minute...

I hope someone could help me with this problem...
I think I've tried everything... CMD+Alt+P+R / CMD+R / ... SMC...
I'm a little lost because I can't access to the computer (it shuts down before arriving on the desktop). I've also tried to access just to the hard drive by connecting 2 Mac with Firewire cable... And the same problem appears. The iMac is also shutting down to soon to backup anything...
Is there someone who has experienced the same problem ?
Thanks !
Best regards,

Hi Jonathan..
Just to rule out any hardware issues, might be a good time to run the OS X Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test
