My ipod nano (6th gen)'s music stops playing sometimes when i turn the screen off (lock: sleep/wake)???!!!

Hello yal.
My ipod nano's music stops playing when i sleep the ipod... and sometimes the screen is unresponsive. It is a little bit smasshed so yeah... could that be a factor?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). 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.

IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

I have a brand new iPod nano (6th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
This is what happens:
When i play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if i let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the ipod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
When i try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iphone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the ipod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

Thanks for your answer...
The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

My iPod nano 6th gen clock has stopped ticking!!

The Clock seems to be fixed at one time and even the second hand. The time gets updated if i connect to PC but then again gets stuck at that time after disconnecting. Everything else is fine btw still now.... HELP PLZ!!!

Hi dushtusozzy,
I recommend going through this iPod nano troubleshooting assistant:

http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/6th_generation/assistant/itunes/
After each step, see if the issue persists.
Cheers!

My iPod nano, 6th generation, will not stop playing and none of the buttons will work

I listen to audiobooks. My iPod was fine, I just checked how far I was in this chapter. I checked again 2 minutes later and I cannot get the screen to lite up nor can I control the volume. But my book continues to play. I plugged it in to charge with a wall charger, nothing. I plugged into my computer and again nothing.
It is only 3 weeks old, I use it about between 1-3 hours a day.
Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried resetting it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

My Ipod Nano 6th gen is stuck on Terms and Conditions page.

Details - Using Itunes, latest version as of May 6th 2011. Running Windows XP on an Acer Netbook (screen is cracked in bottom right corner, is it blocking anything important on Itunes?)
Problems - 1. Will not let my Ipod sync to Itunes. Won't let Ipod Nano 6th Gen past Terms and Conditions page. I check the box that says "I have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions," click save, save to My Documents, and nothing happens. 2. I think it won't sync. The Ipod says "Syncing..." for a few seconds then nothing happens. All the Ipod says is "Connected. Eject before disconnecting.
Possible causes - The only thing I can think of is that I might have disconnected the Ipod before ejecting the first time I plugged it in.

I check the box that says "I have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions," click save,
It sounds like you're not seeing all the buttons on that screen, Muffin. So I'd try the following troubleshooting document:
iTunes: May not display all options at low screen resolutions

IPod nano 6th gen won't play my music.

My iPod nano 6th gen has worked fine for years and when I synced it recently it would play some tunes fine, cut some off mid-way through and skip some completely. The first thing I done was just tried to sync it again but this didn't make a difference so I reset my iPod through iTunes and synced it again but this made it worse, when I pressed play it comes up with the pause button but if I go to the next screen where you can see how far through the song is the bar wasn't moving, so the tunes aren't playing, so following this I formatted my iPod on my pc and then reset it on iTunes (I had to replace the folders I had removed during formatting) and that didn't do anything it still won't play anything. It's not my headphones as they work fine in my pc, and it's not my music as it worked fine before and they all play fine on my pc. What else can I do?

What do you mean by select tracks? It will only play particular tracks or repeatedly play a particular track? What format are these problem tracks in?

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

Moving music from ipod nano 6th gen to a new itunes llibrary

I have an ipod nano 6th gen that was originally synced to a laptop which has broken. all the music is gone but is still on my ipod. how can i transfer this music to my new laptop? is there any free/trustworthy programs available or are there settings that i must set my itunes library to? Please help, this will benefit many of my family members.

Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
You can now sync your ipod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.
