My nano stops playing mp3s randomly.

It pauses itself somewhere between 3 and 30 minutes of playback (i'm estimating). It plays uninterrupted when the speaker is used. This led me to think its a headphone jack problem. But it also plays uninterrupted when the radio is used with headphones. i've tried reseting, reinstalling and restoring. Intried cleaning the headphone jack with a toothpick and a small bit of tissue. Is this a headphone jack problem, or logic board issue, or what? thanks in advance!

Do these same MP3 tracks play okay in iTunes? Are these multiple MP3 tracks over the 30 minutes or is it usually one giant MP3 track?
Try running these tracks through MP3 Validator to make sure they are not corrupted in some way.

2G iPod Nano Stops Playing at Random

My wife's 2nd Gen nano (4 GB pink in case it matters) stops playing after a few songs. The number of songs is not consistent. And it doesn't matter how the songs are selected (playlist, genre, artist, etc).
I've done the five R's already and that hasn't helped.
What other information can I give you?

This may seem like a simple question but: Is it locked?
Related to that: Is the hold button fully over to the locked position and the padlock symbol available on screen?

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

Nano stops playing in hifi

hi, every once in a while my new ipod nano stops playing music in my hifi. just for no apparent reason.

Thanks for solving this basic problem. I was about to return my nano and make a fool of myself . Once again, thanks a lot planb77.

My nano stops playing

My nano stops playing music after about 45 seconds, then shutsdown. I've tried a re-start on the nano and on my Mac while syncing, neither worked. Any ideas?

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 stops playing

My iPod Nano 5g stops playing a file (after 2 hours), but it plays Ok in iTunes to the end. Latest software. Manual synch. The file is long (29 hours of audio). How can I get my iPod to play it through? (Tried restore and recopy.)

I couldn't find any documentation regarding this, but I believe the 2 hour time limit is the maximum length your iPod can play of an audio file. So you may need to break this one up if at all possible. If not, I am afraid you are out of luck.

Quicktime Plugin/Firefox stops playing mp3 after a few seconds

We've run into a problem with Quicktime Player in Firefox (Win XP) only playing the first few seconds of an mp3. It doesn't happen with all mp3s, but out of the five we've tested four showed this problem... only one of the five played through to the end.
When accessing the mp3 file, quicktime plugin loads with the big Q, takes a few seconds (i.e. seems to be downloading the full file), displays the controller, then starts playing. The progress bar moves quickly to the right and stops when it reaches the far right. For some of the mp3s it's only a second or two, for one it is about 8 seconds. The ones that only play for a second or two are regular music mp3s of about 3-5 minutes in length. The one that plays 8 seconds, is really 17 minutes, 42 seconds long.
All of these seem to play fine with the Quicktime plugin in IE. And all the files play fine in iTunes and Quicktime as local files as well as streaming.
The music files are mp3s generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function (original files are m4a files from the iTunes store).
The longer file (a podcast) was generated by a third party, so I'm not sure what tools were used to generate it, however I've tested two versions generated by iTunes that also did not play past 8 seconds:
- Original encoding with ID3 tags converted to a different version by iTunes
- New encoding generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function
(FWIW, renaming the files doesn't make a difference either.)
I have confirmed that this is happening for a colleague of mine on his computer as well.
Reloading the page/mp3 file (F5), force-reload (control-F5), disabling the cache (using Web-Developer Plugin, or Firebug), clearing the cache (through Firefox's Options->Advanced->Network->Offline Storage settings, or through "Clear Recent History") ... none of these seem to make a difference.
However, I did notice that for the files that weren't working, using Firebug's Net panel, it looks like the plugin starts *and finishes* playing the file before the file is completely downloaded (i.e. the player stops playing and the Net panel still shows the file downloading -- usually for a few seconds more before it is completely downloaded).
(And now the one mp3 file that was playing fine is no longer playing. It too just plays a second or two then stops...)
This is with Firefox 3.6.3 and Quicktime Plugin 7.6.6 on Windows XP Pro.

(Oh, and ignore my comment earlier that this mp3 stopped working. I got confused back there with all the various tests... This file does play fully. The player also waits until the file is fully downloaded before starting to play... As opposed to the others where the player starts and ends playing before they are downloaded completely.)

Nano stops playing

Why does my Nano 7th Gen stop playing after two hours (shuffle from playlist)?

The first thing to try would be to restore it in iTunes. Just click on the name of the ipod to the left, select the summary screen and click restore

Nano stops playing podcasts after apx 30 mins.

Each track I have is apx. 1 hour long. My nano will just stop playing them after about 30-33 minutes and return to the default main menu. On rare occasions it will go passed that point but if I touch any control, such as the volume, it stops playing.
Each track plays the full 1 hour+ on problem on iTunes.
Any information is good information.

I have a nano 2g, 8gig and it stops playing podcasts when there are still 45 seconds left. It doesn't do this all the time but it happens frequently.

I have an ipod touch 1st gen 32 GB. It stops playing music randomly. The battery has been replaced and I've tried restoring iOS 3.1.3 as a clean install but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The battery died so I had it replaced. Now it stops playing music (It was doing this before with the old battery when plugged into power cable)... it won't even make it through a whole track. I have tried turning off and on, turned off autolock and restored several times to 3.1.3 with no apps, just music but the problem persists.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

Same problem here - also for kalarm. Now I will probably oversleep tomorrow.
Well, another file format could solve that problem...

My Ipod nano stops playing in the middle of a song.

My brand new never been used ipod nano cant get threw one song without stopping. The screen goes black and the music stops. I have to press the power button to get it to turn back on. But I still have to press play to get the song to come back on. Its brand new why isn't it working?

Thanks for solving this basic problem. I was about to return my nano and make a fool of myself . Once again, thanks a lot planb77.

Premiere Elements stops playing timeline randomly

Hi,
since some days, Premiere Elements 10 stops randomly the replay of the timeline. Sometimes after 1 second, sometimes 20 seconds. And always on different positions ... between to cuts, at a transition, ... not reproducible.
I'm using PE10 for years with the same machine and the same MOV-Videos from my Canon cameras ... simple cutting, arranging, transitions, nothins spectecular.
My machine is a Window 8 64bit PC, i7 CPU and 8GB RAM with a GeForce 9500GT.
The only thing, I changed was the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 8 some weeks ago.
Isn't PE10 not compatible with Windows 8? Or what can be the problem behind the random stopping of the replay?
Thanks
Konrad

Thank you Steve, for your fast response.
I don't think, its a mismatch between video and project settings, because:
a) I created new projects, imported the mov-files and where asked to adapt the project settings to match the video (awnsered to do it)
b) I tried many "old" PE10 projects that worked for months ... same result ... stopping replay after some seconds or less.
My camcorders are a Canon EOS 500D and a Canon S95 ... both not connected but imported the plain MOV-files into the PE project.
If I drop the videos into the timeline, there are no redlines above ... only if I apply transitions between to clips there is a small red line as long as the transition.
I also tried to pre-render the workspace by hitting ENTER (a thing I never had to do before) but this also doesn't help.
