My ipod keeps shutting down when I'm on exercise equipment

I've had three iPod shuffles shut down this week.  It's very strange.  One was a brand new 4th generation.  I was on an elliptical machine at the gym and it stopped playing.  I never got it started again and it's not charging or recognized by my computer.  I've done everything it says online and it is just dead.  Same thing happened to another 4th generation that is about a year old.  But it has since charged and appears to work, but have not used it on exercise yet.  Then today, I was using an older 2nd generation iPod and it shut down 25 or so minutes into my exercise on this same piece of equipment.  Just went dead.  Could there be some sort of electrical thing going on?  Am I getting sweat into them?  I have the clipped to my shorts and wonder if maybe my body is some how disabling them? 

Hi bw1960,
If you are having issues with multiple iPod shuffles that stop responding during exercise, you may find the following article on resetting the iPod shuffle helpful. You may also want to try using them clipped to a different location, like an arm band, and see if the same issue occurs.

  • My iPod keeps shutting off when I go into certain apps. It started tonight and has done it about 3-5 times in the last 2 hours, help?

    My iPod keeps shutting off when I go onto apps. It has shut off about 3-5 times in the last hour. Help?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

    With the iPod still connected, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Sounds like you may have hard drive issues. 
    You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup.  If nothing special happens, your model does not have them.  You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD.  (Run Disk Utility Repair)  If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
    If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test.  Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement.  Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

  • Iphoto keeps shutting down when making a book

    Iphoto just keeps shutting down when I am trying to make a book. Every time it shuts down, it erases most of the content of my book. Help!

    birdiemac:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where in the process does it shut down? When you try to drag a photo into the book or into a page?
    If it's when trying to add a photo, can you edit that photo without crashing and do you use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for any of your editing?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • My Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to see my inbox messages

    MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

    I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Have you tried creating a new user account and launching the apps there? If they work under the new account, then it is possible that you have a corrupted pref file.
    I had this happen on my eMac, but it was when I was a newer Mac user and didn't know much. I ended up reinstalling to OS - which corrected it - but that is a bit drastic.
    Let's not do that, but try some other troubleshooting first.

I have updated it yesterday and still the problem happens. I also installed a virus check to see if that was the problem and it didnt find anything it could fix! Any help is much appreciated!!!
