My mini comes on by itself and skips

My ipod mini suddenly started coming on by itself at random times. Also, when playing, it will sometimes start ten seconds into the song, or skip 25 seconds in the middle of the song, or just shuffle to another song while it's in the middle of playing another. I've done a reset and it helped some....it hasn't come on by itself lately but it is still skipping. And of course my warranty expires in two more days.

"My ipod mini suddenly started coming on by itself at random times"
You most likely have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.
For the skipping issue, try this.

  • What is the preferred virus scan program for iphone? I believe that I have a virus. My phone will come on by itself and it appears to be recording audio. I have read about spyware/surveilance viruses that will record audio and take photos.

    My phone is not jailbroken.  I don't know what you mean about hacked.   Maybe it is hacked?   This is what is happening: About three times over the past few months I've noticed that my phone while "off" will come on (light up) and the screen shows an arrow towards the bottom; an arrow such that you would see on various "players" in order to "play" video or audio, I've searched my phone and cannot find any app that produces this particular screen though. Once I pick up the phone when this screen myseriously appears out of nowhere and press anything, it goes away and goes to the standard "slider" front page to unlock the phone.

  • Apple TV comes on by itself and light constantly on

    My Apple TV device when I turn it off after a few hours comes on by itself. Well the white light on the front of it does lighting up the whole room not fun when your trying to sleep. So I've resulted to placing a small piece of tape over it. Is there any way to perminetly turn the light off or prevent the device from turning itself on?
    I have the latest updates installed on it.

    It isn't necessarily turning itself on, the light also indicates activity on either the network or HDMI connection, so covering the light may be all you can do other than unplugging it.

  • Iphone 5 comes on by  itself and plays music

    My iphone 5 randomly comes on while on standby, blaring loud distorted sounding music.

    Hello ajf24,
    thank you for the question!
    Have you tried resetting all settings on the iPhone, or restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone?
    To reset all settings, navigate to: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    More information on restoring can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If that doesn't help, I'm guessing it's a static electricity problem. I suspect the iPhone rubs around and then a spark jumps to the headphone jack, which is interpreted as a button press on the headphone remote.
    Other possibilities depend on how you have your iPhone set up. If you have it set up to bring up the iPod controls when double-clicking the Home button, maybe the button gets bumped in your pocket. If you don't have an unlock code set, maybe the phone detects a swipe as it's moving around in your pocket.
    Regards,

  • Why does computer come on by itself and shows the sign in page prompt

    After shutting down my computer at night, in the morning I find it awake and booted and displaying the user password prompt page. Why is this happening and how do i stop it. Thank you for your help.

    hello purenrgy7, sorry your problem doesn't sound like an issue that would be related to firefox or mozilla products. unfortunately we cannot help with common computer problems (refer to our [[Forum rules and guidelines]]) - please consult a general windows forum like http://answers.microsoft.com or http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums instead.

  • My Ipad mini keeps going through various applications all by itself and won't allow me to close them

    My Ipad keeps going through my contacts, e-mail, ITunes, types by itself and will go through these apps over and over again. I can close them while in the process but just as I close them with the home button it starts right up again. I have tried closing all the open apps by double clicking the home button, which it will show the screen of all the apps but when I try to hold them down to delete them it doesn't respond. I have tried hard reset twice by holding the home button and the top button until the apple logo appears but this hasn't worked.

    Hi Diver,
    I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
    Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
    Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Hope this helps!!

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie from Itunes, but when I try to watch it it pauses itself, then skips to the next scene...can anyone tell me why and as I have paid money for this shouldn't I at least be able to watch without any hiccups?

    I have rented a movie from Itunes, but when I try to watch it it pauses itself, then skips to the next scene...can anyone tell me why and as I have paid money for this shouldn't I at least be able to watch without any hiccups?

    You've tried restarting the film ? If it still skips then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • My iphone 5 suddenly wont fully boot...it stuck on the apple logo and goes of after 20 -25 secs and comes on by itself after a minute or two but still stuck on apple logo..also i am able to see a bit of lighting on the dark screen whenever it goes of

    my iphone 5 on the ios 7.1.2 suddenly wont fully turn on...it gets stuck on the apple logo and stays like that for approximately to 90 secs then goes blank but I can see a bit of lighting  behind the dark screen....it goes off by itself and comes on by itself trying to boot but still gets stuck on the apple logo after the dim light shows....when I connect to iTunes my phone can only be recognised only in recovery mode thus if I force it into recovery mode. My main worry is I don't have a back up of any of my data...on icloud I have just less than 2GB of my data which is as a result of incomplete back up...HOW CAN I GET THIS PHONE WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT LOSING MY DATA...if I can only just recover my data I would really appreciate it as I really  need almost everything on it back...if I can only get retrieve my data and lose the phone I wouldn't mind at all....Anybody know how to resolve this??Kind Regards

    Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

    Hi ravelvanto,
    mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
    Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
    Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...
    Best regards, mackevin

  • Apple pro 27" turns off by itself and then u have to wait 15 to 20 mins and have to unplug and reboot

    applepro turns off by itself and then i have to wait anywhere from 15 to 30 mins to try to reboot and have to unplug

    You should really be asking this question in MacBook Pro: Notebooks: Apple Support Communities
    because this sounds like a overheating problem and we're the Mac Pro (desktop workstation) forum.
