My ipod turns off after 20 sec of any song

hi, just bought a nano 6gen this saturday and got my songs on it, but when i play anything it gives me a Music simbol then turns off like 20 sec after it.. cant even listen to one song...

The 1.1 update introduced a feature to help prevent people from depleting their battery by leaving it on without a headset connected. With the 1.1 update, if your nano does not detect a headset, it will pause playback when your screen goes off. This did not happen in 1.0 because the feature was not included in 1.0.
If you are finding that the nano pauses when the screen goes dark, it is because your headset has not been detected.
So the discussion needs to be about what would keep your headset from being detected. There are a few options:
Your headset is not inserted all the way. This solves the problem for most folks who experience it. If you see ANY silver of the headset jack when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted.
You have debris in your headset jack. This is the second most common problem when folks experience this. At least that seems to be the case for the folks who post what solved their problem. Look into your headset jack. The thing that senses if your headset is fully seated is at the bottom of the jack. You can have a small piece of paper in there that lets you fully insert the headset but still prevents the headset from being detected because it blocks the connection. You end up with the nano pausing when the screen goes dark. How you are going to clean out your headset jack is up to you. Some folks here have reported they had to use cotton and alcohol others have said just plowing into the jack got the stuff out. One of my sons got the little round piece of paper from a hole punch stuck in his headset jack and it caused this.
Your headset jack or plug are broken. Finally, if your headset jack or the plug are faulty, then this could happen.
If you get through item 2 and your problem is still happening, you need to go to the Apple store. If you headset jack is bad, you can't fix it.

  • My iPod turns off after a few songs.

    I just noticed this yesterday, but I always have my iPod on shuffle. And when I was playing it yesterday, after about 10 songs it turned off. When I turned it back on it was like I had plugged it into the computer and it was reset. I played some more songs and it did it again. Can I fix this??

    Before suggesting any troubleshooting steps, I would like to enquire about few things:-
    1] Does it gets heated up?
    2] Does it stop functioning when it gets turned off?
    3] Did you try to use a different power adapter with the camera with the same power specifications? 
    1] Does it gets heated up?                                                                    NO, it does not: every thing looks as usual.
    2] Does it stop functioning when it gets turned off?                              YES, the camera is effectively off, nothing works.
    3] Did you try to use a different power adapter with the camera with the same power specifications?
               NO, I just verified the correct functioning of the adapter with a different camera and it does work. However I will try
               a second adapter on the failing camera and let you know.
    Thank you for your answer.

  • Comp. turns off after 2 sec!!

    Ok, this is a fairly long and complicated problem. Please read through these. Thanks in advance!
    Ok, well, i just got my K7ND Delta-L mobo today and after I put every thing into it, I turn on my pc. Well for about 1 second it looks like everything will be ok, but suddenly, it turns off. If I unplug the power suppy and plug it back in, I can try to turn it on again, but it does the same thing. Power light for a short while, then off. The power supply is 425 Watts. So I'm thinking maybe it's that power supply so I change it with a 300 Watt one that works flawlessly (as it was just in a comp i was using today) same thing happens. I've got everything pluged in (video card, power to mobo, power to cpu, cpu fan, ram, both ide drives, extra usb, and all the little led lights and switches). It looks like the power supply is working because the lan lights on the back are both lit up. So now I'm thinking that maybe the power supply isn't big enough. Is the power supply not big enough, do I get a new one or change the voltage on it from 115V to 230V?
    My specs:
    AMD Athlon XP 2700+
    Crucial PC 3200 DDR Ram
    Western Digital 80GB HDD
    Polaroid BurnMax 40X CD-RW Drive
    ATI All-in-Wonder 9600Pro
    MSI K7N2 Delta-L nForce2 motherboard
    Thanks in advance!
    I have rephased the problem at the bottom of this thread.

    i had some expirenced builders (3 of them) at my house and they failed to fix the problem.
    Here is the problem rephrasd:
    I have plugged everything into my motherboard (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe) and
    double checked the connections and the jumpers but when I press power
    button, the pc starts for 2 seconds and shuts off. The processor is an AMD
    2700+. I have taken it down to just the processor and ram but same thing
    happens. I have tryed getting help on message boards (
    http://bildeau.go-gaia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=672944&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
    and
    http://cgi.techtv.com/messageboards?action=whole_thread_view&board_id=17&topic_id=73&thread_id=2557827&per_page=50
    I have also tryed an MSI K7N2 Delta-L motherboard and switched out an
    AMD 2800+ and new ram and have tryed a total of 3 power supplies (the
    newest one is an Enermax EG465 that outputs 33A on the 12V Rail, and 35A on the 5V rail and 35 on the 3.3V rail) in both mother boards and tryed powering
    up, but the same thing happens. Power goes on and the fans spin for maybe
    1.5 seconds and then they stop spinning. No bios screen or anything
    appears on the monitor, no beeps. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Ipod wont reset, turns off after pausing

    My Ipod Mini will start playing songs when music is selected from the menu but if the song is paused, it pauses but when you try to play the song again, the song plays for 2 or 3 seconds then the ipod turns off. Also after the music is started then the hold is put on, the screen goes blank again and music stops. I tried to reset it to no avail. When I disconnect it from my computer I right click on the ipod button then eject so I dont think that is the problem. Please help if possible.

    You may want to reveiw the iPod service web page at: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
    You may also request service from that page as well.
