Is there a way to keep the Nano from auto shutting off?

This is probably a weird question because it doesn't really involve a problem per se. I am a drummer in a band. I am using my iPod 1 GB Nano to play an intro during our live shows and also play segways between songs because it is more reliable than a laptop. Basically each of my sound clips are in their own playlist so that once the clip ends it stops and doesn't go to the next song and I'm not trying stop it while I'm also playing the drums. But within a minute or so of finishing the sound clip the Nano shuts off. When I turn it back on it causes a small popping sound in the PA (which is undesireable). I'm wondering if there is a way to keep the iPOD from shutting off automatically. I haven't been able to find any settings that allow me to prevent it from auto shut off. Any suggestions? And just to clarify, it is not shutting off while playing the sound clip, but usually a minute or so after. So It's not like it is malfunctioning. But there must be some way to keep it from shutting off automatically.

Hi Jarame,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try putting your iPod on Hold. You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #60951 and Knowledge Base Document #60945 goes over The iPods Different Sleep Modes.

  • Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

    I have an iphone 4s.  Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?  I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru.  LOL

    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

  • Is there a way to keep the nano (Clock face) ON all the time?

    Hello all.
    I know this may sound silly, and definitely a drain on the battery life.
    (But) I like my nano Clock face "always on", it's good to look at anyway, with all the new clock faces.
    I thin the nano "defaults" and the screen fades to black in a certain amount of time.
    Is there a way to
    Keep it "lit" and stay "always on"? OR
    Prolong the "screen lit time"?
    Thanks and cheers

    Hey Everyone,
    DISCOVERED THE ANSWER!!!!!
    I recently got one of these fun little squares and I just figured out (what seems to be) a simple way to keep the clock face on. (Though, I certainly agree with the comments about the ultimate impracticality of doing so for a long time, as the the battery in this thing only has so much to give.)  I'm running the latest update on it.
    This seemed too easy to believe when I did it! No need to keep it empty of music! No need to keep it in Fitness running! I think this works because the clock face, stop watch, and timer are all in the same segment of it's little nano operating system.
    If you turn on the stopwatch then switch back to the clock face, it will stay fully illuminated as long as the stopwatch is running. I think the limit on the stopwatch is 24 hours, but my guess is your battery is going to be dead long before that. I'd recommend setting the brightness super low if you're going to do this.
    Anyway, problem solved if you want to keep it lit for however long you like. (of course you have to sacrifice the stopwatch)
    Enjoy!!

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off

    I would like a way to keep my screen from going to sleep while browsing. Sometimes I am still reading the current screen when it dims out. The browser I am hoping to replace with Firefox has this option. Is there a way (option or addon) to do this?

    Not possible from within Firefox. You can check to see if your device has a 'Never' option for screen timeout under 'Display' settings in Android settings. I suspect not available though as that would be a hindrance towards battery lifetime.

  • Is there a way to keep the iPhone from checking one address's email?

    Meaning this. I have five addresses on my iPhone. When I go into the mail app, I only want it to check one of them for new mail. But every time it checks all five.
    Is there any way I can keep it from checking the four without cutting off each account?

    No, there's no control of which accounts it will retrieve, except by setting the unwanted accounts to OFF in Settings.

  • In Lion Mail is there a way to keep the messages from appearing?

    Sometimes I get unsavory images in my Mail that I don't particularly want my children to see if they happen to check the Mail. The Junk filter doesn't necessarily catch all of them. With the new Mail, the images show up when the message is selected, even if only to delete it. If I remember correctly, in the old Mail, there were buttons beside the message-line or heading that allowed the email to be selected without actually opening it up. These could then be deleted without opening the message. Can this still be done in Lion?

    u can slide the message viewer all the way over to the RIGHT, thus hiding the message from view, and then delete at will from the expanded left column.

    When composing an email the cursor disappears behind the keyboard using iOS 8.  Is there a way to have it scroll up so that I can see what I am typing?  Was not a problem with iOS 7

    I should say, when I pause while someone else talks for a couple of minutes.

  • I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

  • How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my device?

    How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my actual phone?  I'm concerned that the sync feature will remove the pictures from the cloud when they are deleted from my phone.
    Thanks for the help.

    Can I back up iPhoto to the cloud via some apple service (iCloud)
    No
    or do I need to use something else?  If so, any recommendations?
    An external hard disk:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • My husband and I both have iPads and somehow when they were setup the both we're setup using the same email I'd address. When I go to delete and rename one iPad it says all info and pictures will be erased from my iPad. Is there a way to keep the info iPa

    You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account.  You can still use the same account for the app store though.

    I know I am responding to my own thread, but I an SOOOO disgusted with Apple right now.
    The new iOS 7 was the lead story on CNN today... and it wasn't positive. Easy to see why, it's a graphics disaster. It is ugly, difficult to read, doesn't interface aesthetically with the iPhone 4S, and gives everyone in America vertigo. Either fix the appearance, or find some way to allow us to roll back to our previous iOS. Do so quickly, or this life-long Apple customer [circa 1978] will be moving on. If this represents shades of what is coming with OS Maverick, I am petrified. Further, I am a GM of a chain of newspapers and websites in the Austin, Texas area. I will be ripping out a scathing editorial. The notion that we can't roll back from something millions of us hate is despicable. I'm giving you one week. Be sure I am not alone.
