My 6th gen nano will go to sleep after 1min. if I don't keep touching the sceen or pushing the buttons. How can I get this function to turn off?

I can't relax and listen to music as my nano will go to sleep after just one minute of not touching it. This is really irritating and needs to get fixed. Can anyone help? I've read the manual and it doesn't say anything about my problem.

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark. 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.

  • Hi, I got my iphone 4 from a friend only 2 months ago. I dropped it from 90cm off the ground and it smashed. How can I get this fixed? Can I get a new phone? If not how much will I have to pay? Thankyou....

    If my phone is only 2 months old (but second hand so dorm know how old infact), and I dropped it from 90cm....will I have to pay to get it fixed or will apple give me a brand new phone?

    You show an iPhone 4 in your profile. If this is the case, the out of warranty replacement cost at the Apple store for the iPhone 4 is $149US. You would need to check your location for comparable cost.

  • Nano touch...songs only repeat...how do I get this feature to turn off?

    MY new nano repeats whatever song I select forever, even if within an album.  I assume that once I select an album, it should play all the songs. 

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been abled.See the section entitled "Controlling Playback" on page 28 of your iPod's User Guide to learn how to turn this setting off.

  • My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong.

    My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong? I tried to turn it on, and putting on my charger and It won't respond in any way.

    I've just had mine returned from Apple unrepaired after sending it off with the same problem after 6 months.
    Apparently there was liquid damage so they won't repair it!
    This was news to me, as I have looked after my iPod and it has never been near any liquids. The only thing I can think of is that it was caused by humidity due to jogging with it, which is an activity targeted by this product. So that's £130 down the drain!
    If you search nano and humidity/jogging/sweating etc on here you will find hundreds of similar complaints. As far as I'm concerned the 6th Gen Nano is not fit for purpose.
    It's the last Apple product I will ever buy.

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop?

    I use an iPod4 Touch and am using IOS 6.1.6. Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop? This is happening repeatedly throughout the day. I don't have an Apple password for this email address, nor do I want one!

    Maybe an App that needs updating was purchased by that account?
    Could someone have installed an app not purchased with your account?

  • HT201272 My ipod touch will not update a paid app---Strange Rain. using version 4.2.1. How can I get this installed and updated?

    I have updated to the supposed newest version for my touch.
    But it still will not sync and update my Strange Rain app.
    How can I get this back?

    According to the product description the latest version of this app requires ios 4.3 or later.
    You would have to use your copy of the older version.

  • I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that i sync from my mac.  The problem is, it stops at the end of each CD.  How can I get it to continue on to the hanks, Wendy

    I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that I sync from my Mac.  The problem is that it stops at the end of each CD (very annoying).  How can I get it to continue on the the next CD?  Thanks, Wendy

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

  • My iPhone 4s will not back-up because it is over capacity due to a lg. amt. of "other" data.  I don't have a lot of other data however.  How can I correct this?

    My iPhone 4S will not do a back-up because it is over it's capacity due to an excessive amount of "other" data.  However I actually have very little other data.  How can I correct this.  As it is now I can't even take a picture!  Thanks!

    Create a manual backup in iTunes, then restore it, restoring to your iTunes backup at the end.  This will usually correct this.  If it doesn't, then the problem is contained in the backup and you'll have to save as much of your data as you can, then restore it as new without using your backupo.

  • How can I get this on my 3rd Gen iPad?

    My friend has a full RSS reader and a cellular data usage monitor on his iPad's Notification Center. I find it really useful, so may I ask how can I get that? He refused to tell me how he got that because he said that he said that I am not suited for installing that kind of stuff. Thanks.

    By default the iOS Notification Center cannot display such things.
    What he has done is known as jailbreaking and will void your warranty as well as remove the security Apple builds in to its devices.
    See Apple's advice about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
    We cannot discuss such things here.
