  • My Ipod Classic keeps shutting down, even when fully charged

    I have upgraded my Ipod classic operating system and all was well. Suddenly, it has started shutting down after 5 minutes of use, even when the battery is fully charged.

    What iPod software version? Restore the iPod again
    But maybe it is just set to sleep in 5 minutes.
    Check the settings and set it to OFF

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod dock keeps shutting off after 1 hour

    I have a Pioneer xw-NAS3 dock and I run a brown noise app at night to help drown out noise.  It had been working fine, and now last night, the dock shuts off on its own and then when I started it back up, it shut off one hour later.  The manual for the Pioneer says that if no ipod is connected in one hour, the unit will shut down, but there is an ipod connected the entire time and the simply noise app is running constantly and not set to shut down.  I'm mostly sure it's a docking issue because it also shut down after 1 hour while using an ipod nano and a predownloaded 12 hour loop of brown noise.  Any ideas to try?  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Nothing on Pioneer's site for my product. I did email, nothing yet.
    I did try resetting the dock.  didn't solve the problem.
    Yes, the device does charge, and there are no noticeable issues, and like I said, the unit worked great one week ago. 
    No damage or problems evident. 
    Thanks. 

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time.  Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

    Hi,
    I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time.  There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time.  Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch.  Thanks!

    Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

  • I have a ipod nano shuffle, 6th gen.  I bought it when I had Windows Vista.  I upgraded to Windows Ultimate 7.  Now it keeps shutting off.  Have to press power button and touch arrow to restart.  3 to 4 times a song.  I ran diagnostics.  Passed until end.

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • Why does my NEW ipod keep shutting off in less than 30 seconds of play time

    Rcv'd ipod at Christmas; was setup in spanish when I first turned on & thought that was weird; had issues trying to download version 10 of itunes but after two days it finally went through successfully; charged for two days; used for first time today and it keeps shutting off after 30-90 seconds of playtime; is this a common issue or do I need to send back?

    No, push the headphones firmly all the way in. The headphone jack on new nanos is very tight, make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the nano.

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Maybe the replacement is defective.

  • My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off.

    My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off?

    It happens randomly. I can be listening to a song, it finishes and then theres no sound. The track doesn't actually start at all. When i say skips i dont mean is in the middle of the song and jumps. I mean the ipod switches to the next track.
    Format - All my songs have been ripped from CD's or downloaded from I-Tunes. I cant find the file type, sorry.
    I had a look on the link but the symptoms dont link to mine. It happens randomly, not when im cycling or moving the divece nescessarily.
    Thanks

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?

    My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...
