Nano shuts off unexpectedly

I just received my replacement Nano. Set everything up, have all the latest updates to iTunes etc., but when a song is playing, halfway through the Nano shuts off. when I press the wakeup button the screen lights displaying a pause/play button appears with the name of the interrupted song.I have checked all settings and cannot figure this out.
Any suggestions?

This is an indication that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white part of the headphones should be flush with your Nano, meaning no silver from the plug can still be seen.  The newer headphone jacks are bit tighter than in previous generations, so it requires a bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully insert.

  • HT1339 After I disconnect from my PC, my iPod nano shuts off and won't come back on?  How do I fix this?

    When I disconnect from my PC, my nano shuts off and won't come back on.  I have tried holding down both the On/Off and the Home buttons -- but nothing...

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New iPhone 5s shut off unexpected and won't turn back on

    I just received my new 5s. I activated it. Made a phone call. I was downloading my apps, and using them, when the phone shut off unexpected. I tried to turn the phone back on, the apple logo appeared, then it went to the waiting circle for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes the screen had a blue screen for a second, then it went back to the waiting circle, then it turned off. I've tried turning it on a couple of times with the same results. Help!

    Hello Keith,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s!  I would be concerned too if my iPhone shut off unexpectedly and would not power on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • My system keeps shutting off unexpectedly after updating it to OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). is there anything that can be done to correct this?

    My system keeps shutting off unexpectedly after updating it to OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). is there anything that can be done to correct this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook pro charge cord stopped working & shuts off unexpectedly

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, my charge cord has stopped working - I'm not sure if it's my actual computer or the cord.  It does not light up at all anymore and the battery icon says "not charging" sometimes.  It also will shut off unexpectedly and when I manually turn it on I get this message "can't verify the identify of the website" and the clock gets set back....help

    Does your MBP get HOT when you are playing games, as they use quite a bit it the way computing cycles and generate a lot of heat.  I had this issue with my kids machine, try rasing the MBP up off ahy hard surface you mat have it on while playing. (I used 2 1"X1" strips of wood the increase air flow around the machine. The exhaust vents are in the back under the hinge, keep yhem clear. This simple fix seemed to work, no more problems. There also cooling trays with fans that are commecially avaiable. Are your fans spinnig up to cool the MBP? If not you might want to try a smc reset which controls the fans.

  • Why does my ipod classic shut off unexpectedly

    Why does my ipod classic (80 gb) shut off unexpectedly?  This happens often and more so when the earphone (any earphone) moves.  The only time it does not shut off is when my ipod is lying flat on a table.

    Hey madelinefrommiami,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue if moving the earphone shuts off the iPod. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at this page for information on available service options.

  • Shutting off unexpectedly

    Twice recently my powerbook has shut off unexpectedly while I was on Safari. It restarted back up ok. Any thoughts? I did get a cheap replacement battery awhile ago, but it shows as being fully charged and has worked ok before this issue started happening.

    You bought a junk battery, apparently. Replace it with a real one.

  • 7th Gen iPod Nano shuts off randomly

    My iPod Nano is just about my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever bought from apple. I'm primarily a pc user when it comes to computers, and having a basic, small iPod means I can listen to music and podcasts and leave the more complicated tasks to the equipment that I've spent more money on. However, my iPod recently started bugging out in a way that makes it nearly unuseable.
    The iPod will quite happily run for a day or so if I don't use the touch screen. This is fine for podcasts as I can use the volume and play-pause on the outside. However, if I want to make a choice on the screen, about one in five touches will cause the iPod to shut off. If I reset it, it will either flash the apple logo and shut off again, or get to the homescreen with the loading symbol, then make three short beeps and shut off again. General internet searches have proved fruitless, and although the iPod is cheap enough that I can buy a new one without it being too much of an issue, I would much prefer to keep that money for other things.
    Although apple hardware isn't my area of expertise, I believe that there may be some kind of issue with the battery, as there have been black-outs and brown-outs in my area and my iPod has ben charging during a couple of these. I was thinking that the RAM could also be in bad shape for some reason, but I did a dram test, which it passed. The iPod is currently in diagnostic mode, so I can give information on the battery and the like if that would help, but I have no idea what the numbers mean personally.
    My warranty ran out a few weeks ago and I live about two hours from the nearest Genius store, so bringing it back isn't really an option. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Well the bug appears to have been fixed by the 1.0.3 patch. My battery is still stuffed so I will have to buy a new one at one point, but at least this issue is sorted out.

  • Probloms with my zen nano shutting off randomly-please hel

    I just bought a GB Zen Nano Plus about a week ago. It worked fine until I had to change the battery. Now every time I play the mp3 music it automatically shuts down. I messed around with it and I figured out that every time the backlght shuts off, so does the player. It shuts down after 5 seconds, and that is when the backlight is set to shut off. It only does this while playing mp3 music (I can isten to the radio for as long as I want). This is pretty wierd because when I use the battery that came with the player, which is almsot totally dead, it doesn't do that.
    If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it, please respond, thanks in advance!!!
    by reading other posts i guess many others have this same problom, really messed up isn't it's!Message Edited by nc_4546 on 06-08-2006 06:46 PM

    Lots of the MuVo players suffer from this and are normally sorted by reloading the firmware.

  • 3rd gen nano shuts off automatically

    When I dock my 3rd gen nano into my Bose portable it randomly shuts off and displays the battery charging screen on the nano.
    When I press the start button the Bose remote the nano will play again for a few songs then shut off again. This doesn't happen with my ipod video.

    I called Apple Support last night to make sure they are aware of this problem. While on the line, we tested a few scenarios, and it seems that the nano only shuts off automatically if the pause / play buttons are used on the Bose Sounddock remote. When I started the nano using its controls rather than the remote, everything worked fine, including adjusting the volume, skipping songs. Only the play / pause button caused the problem, but really, who knows at this point.
    I also noticed this problem only after "upgrading" to firmware 1.0.2. I will try to restore the nano to its factory settings this evening (1.0.1) and see what happens.

  • IPod Nano shuts off even after hold switch engaged...HELP!

  • Why does my iPod nano shut off randomly? I just bought it. After about a minute of music, it shuts off.

    I just bought my wife an iPod nano. Went through the set up and then updated the iPod through iTunes. Now, after about a minute of music (with two different sets of headphones) it simply shuts off. As if it's in power convseration mode. But I can't find a setting to prevent this. Very frustrating for having JUST bought this.

    If you have not already, do a Reset following this procedure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    A Reset just restarts the iPod.  It is not erased.
    If that does not help, the most likely fix for your problem would be a Restore.  This WILL erase the iPod, re-install its softare, and set it to default settings.  To do it, select the iPod in the iTune sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  The button for doing a Restore is there.
    For anything that is currently on your computer (such as songs and pictures) that were synced to the iPod, you can just re-sync them.  That should not take too long, even if you do it manually (without using automatic syncing). 
    For anything that is only on the iPod (not on your computer), they will be lost if you do a Restore.  But that was a known risk.  After all, your iPod could be lost or stolen (or seriously damaged), and those items would be lost.
    If those items are songs you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them (at no cost) on the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
    or even be recognized by my computer when it is like this. It just sits there.
    If you are having a problem getting the iPod to be recognized by iTunes, which is necessary to do a Restore, try this...  Set the iPod to Disk Mode. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    Then, see if iTunes will recognize it when connected.  Also, if it is recognized more reliably in Disk Mode, before doing a Restore, you can try using a third-party method or utility to transfer song files off the iPod to your computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
