Help! my ipod keeps pausing itself.

everytime i play a song my ipod just randomly pauses. even when i have the hold button activated the thing still pauses itself. i won't even touch the dial, and it just pauses. what do i do????

It might not be a problem with the ipod, nanos come with the feature of pausing automatically when the earphones come out even a bit (i suppose so that you dont miss any of the songs but can be annoying if you have it on your belt and you stretch lol)..make sure your earphones are connected fully and you should be fine.

Ipod constantly pauses itself: earphones problem?

it is really annoying when my ipod keeps on pausing itself when playing songs, when i only slightly move my headphones. i've dealt with this before, and usually, when the plug is gold, my ipod never paused.
however, i have two headphones that are both gold-plated at the plug-in place, and yet when i move around, the ipod still pauses.
i remember reading somewhere that taping a part of the metal of the ipod or the plug-in part of the headphons does the trick...
anyone know how i can fix this?!!

Ipod video pausing and making strange sounds

I have a 30Gb Ipod classic. When I get to a certain point in a video, the video will stop playing and start immiting a sharp, high-pitched sound, almost like brakes make when they're grinding. If i skip ast that point, I have no problems.
Does anyone know what I should do?

Hi,
This has been a HUGE issue as of late with people and such as myself. The only thing that worked for me so far is to bring it to an apple store to the mac genius and they have to restart and reinstall the fireware in your ipod. So i strong reccomend you doing this so you dont get so frustrated like i did.

My ipod pauses itself when headphones malfunction

Hi, whenever I pull out my headphones or the wire bends the wrong way on my mini, the song pauses. Normally, this is a great feature. Recently, though, my headphones are for the most part ok but the ipod keeps pausing itself whenever the headphones move a certain way. This makes it very irritating when I move around with my ipod in my pocket. Is there anyway to turn this setting off?

first, try a different pair of headphones
next clean the contacts. Rub the headphones part with cloth wetted with distilled water. to clean the inside of the ipod, use a Q-tip. do not use water to clean the port.
If this didnt work, it simply could be your ipod. When i had my mini and i had other issues with it, we went to my Apple Store to get help. Another guy was there, and he had the exact problem you're describing. However, his was under warranty.
Good Luck!

5G 60GB Video iPod keeps pausing, has difficulty turning off

Please excuse me if this post appears twice. When I clicked on the "Post message" button at the bottom of the page, nothing happened. I hope. Here's the problem I'm having: my brand-new video iPod pauses itself 6 to 7 times an hour, is difficult to turn off and sometimes turns itself on all by itself. I did the 5R's a couple of times and then sent it in for service. It was returned as a Windows iPod, which took a while to straighten out (the Apple person was very helpful on the phone). However, the service people sent it back to me saying that there is nothing wrong with the iPod, but it still pauses itself all the time. Any suggestions?

Do videos pause?
Are you using the headphones that came with?
Make sure no alarms are set under Extras-->Clock.
Also, is the software on the iPod up to date?

My Ipod video switch on by itself

My Ipod video switch on by itself. Even if its locked, it turns on. It can be after 2hours or it can be after one day, it's never the same. So, when it's time for me to use it the battery is dead because it played for hours unknowingly.

Id check the alarms, even if you didn't set them it could have happend accidently.

Why does my ipod touch keep pausing itself?

While listening to my first generation ipod touch, it will just pause itself. Whether using headphones, auxillary jack, or skull candy speakers which connect through the charging port on the ipod. REALLY ANNOYING!

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

My ipod nano pauses by itself 3 to 4 time per song... i need help and information on getting it fix...please help

Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be seen.

My ipod pauses itself while on hold and not being touched

Sometimes when my ipod is just sitting there minding its own business, and even on hold, it will pause itself. I will then unpause it, put it back on hold only to have it happen again. It doesn't do it all the time but it drives me absolutely insane when I am listening to music across the room.
Has anyone had this happen or have any clues? It happens still even though I have reset it a few times! I am afraid my ipod might be disfunctional or something!
Help!

Hello camweiss21,
At this point I would take my iPod into an Apple Retail Store, just to verify it needs service.

if one is available. Or you may need to look into this:

30gig ipod video keeps resetting itself

my 30gig ipod video keeps resetting until it runs out of battery life, if i have it connected to my pc, it just keeps resetting indefinately, and if i disconnect it, it does so until it runs out of battery.
i've already reset it manually, returned it to factory conditions, I dont know what else to do, any help at all would be appreciated.

Hello eonitwat,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try manually forcing the iPod into Disk Mode and then reconnecting to your computer. This might prevent the iPod from continuously rebooting to allow you enough time to try and reformat the iPod completely using the tools provided by Windows.
Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod on WIndows. The instructions are for Vista and XP, but you'll find that Windows 7 is very similar to Windows Vista.

If still no luck, you may want to consider having the iPod serviced.
Worth a shot.
