Nano turns off after unplugging from computer

My nano works fine, if its plugged into my computer. When I eject and then unplug it turns off and I can't get it to turn back on. Once I managed to unplug and get it to turn on, then turned it off then I tried to turn it on again 5 mins later but nothing. Battery says it's off and I go through making sure everything is off or paused at least before unplugging but same result everytime.

I think this is ridiculous. I got the iPod nano 4th generation (8gb) this summer and my click wheel isn't working. Apple is making a huge mistake by ignoring our emails which could lead to business loss.
But!! I know how to get it working (for a while).
You just leave your ipod alone for about a week or two. And it's completely responsive. But unfortunately if you plug it into the computer, the wheel will become unresponsive again. It costs more to fix than to buy. <-- Crazy
The only thing is that i've lost the reciept ¬¬' But if you go to an official apple store. I've got a great excuse or whatever to why you deserve a new ipod or money back. It is 3 years garentee and it has only been made for 2 years.
Going to the store soon so i'll see if i can give you guys some info.

Nano fades out after unplugged from computer.

Please.... is there any suggestions for a 2nd generation ipod nano that charges when plugged into the computer and plays music when hooked to a wall socket but turns off when unhooked from either one and wont turn back on. I have tried the toggle hold button with menu and select and i have tried the restore throught the itunes site. Anyone know what is wrong with it?? or what i can to to fix it?

Sounds like the battery is dead. Rechargeable batteries can only be recharged so many times. For example, common laptop batteries can be recharged about 1500 times. I'm not sure how many times an ipod can be recharged. That's one of the problems with building the battery into the device. If it's any consolation, flash memory can only be written to so many times too.
Most ipods are designed to be disposable. If they weren't, they would have replaceable batteries and store songs on memory cards (like digital cameras, for instance). Also, having Apple service them costs almost as much as buying a new one. Clearly, Apple thinks you need to buy a new music player every 2-3 years.

IPhone 4 turning off after unplugged from wall or PC/MAC

Hi
Can someone help please?
I sold my iphone 4 recently and it was returned to me.
The guy had it for 6 hours and it suddenly crashed apparently (this is his words)!
He then tried to restore and it failed with unknown error 21.
Im no stranger to resetting and sorting an iphone out but this one has me banging my head against a brick wall.
I have tried to restore and the same error occurs.
I have also tried entering into DFU mode etc and the same results.
Volume up and down and resetting still no change.
I took it to the apple store as a last hope to see what they said and they dvised it had been tampered with so would not test any parts!
Should i try a new battery? Or is this something else? Has anyone seen this before?
Needless to say i am furious as i personally feel that this may have been a drop/water damage or jailbreak gone wrong or, even worse, a logic board swap SCAM.
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
I have this afternoon taken the phone to a third party repair service store.
They took the battery out and used a fully charged battery, which i saw power another iphone.
This did not fix the issue.
The gent in the repair shop told me that it looks like a logic board fault. He also mentioned that it looks like it had been tampered with!
He also advised that he has seen a huge increase of this sort of thing happening on ebay.
He wished me luck with it and closed the phone up.
So it looks like i am now left with a dead phone and a fight with ebay! :-(
Cheers all.

Turn off after unplug the power cord

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro form 6-8 months and everything works great but from 2-3 days ago now everytime when i disconnect the power cord from the computer the system turn off.
I think the battery is good because i can use the computer only with battery (like im doing right now) and if i press the battery indicator button all green lights turn on and i can use the computer for 1-2 hours using battery only but for some reason if i connect the power cable again and disconnect later the computer is turned off.
I install all updates by apple.

After loading the 1.1 update my nano turns off after 60 seconds. is there a fix for this?

After loading the 1.1 update for my nano ipod my nano shuts down after playing the music for 60 seconds. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix for it? Very frustrating to have to keep hitting the sleep/wake button and then play to make the music start again during my workout.

You have probably fixed the problem by now, but I also just bought a Nano and it was very frustrating with the music shutting off before the first half a dozen bars of the song. I rang Apple and they sent me this page.... (if anyone else needs help)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3700?viewlocale=en_US
All it was that I hadn't pushed the headphones in until they were flush up against the Nano.
Thanks Apple!

Iphone turning off once unplugged from charger

my battery is at least 30% but when I take it off the charger for a second it turns off and wont turn on until I plug it back into the charger, and this only happens on occasions (mainly when I am in a hurry). I just don't know why it does it, and its not like my battery is too low to keep the phone on. HELP

[Zen Micro] Keeps shutting down after unplugging from comput

I have owned this player for a year and three and a half months now. I had sent it in for repair before the warranty expired because I kept getting annoying feedback into my earphones. Unfortunately, they didn't fixed it and just sent it right back costing $25+S/H. I went on installing the firmware and loading my music up just fine, but when I unplug it from the computer, it shuts down. I tried several things such as reformatting the thing, but it didn't work and I hadn't checked out the sticky firmware thread so I just left the player alone very frustrated until now.
I managed to reload the firmware again thanks to that thread but I still have the automatic shut-down problem when disconnecting from the computer. I did noticed that after I unplugged it, the power bar wasn't there before it shut down.
Your ideas are appreciated but please make sure it's not about sending it back to them. It's out of warranty.
Note: It does work again after I replace the battery, but I don't want to do this every time I want to load music onto it.

Is there a sleep timer on the Micro? Did you check for that? (as opposed to Idle Shutdown)

MacBook Pro turns off when unplugged from outlet

I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.26GHz
2 days ago when I unplugged it from the wall it shut off. It has been doing this since even though the battery is fully charged.
Once it is off I am able to turn it back on not plugged in and use it for the full length of the battery without problem.
Anyone would know what would cause this? and how to fix it?
Thx

I would try the SMC reset.

Hello,My Iphone 4s sunk in waterscape for 5 min and turned off,After exit from water not work,I bougth my iphone from UAE apple store,How can you help me?

hello ?

We are users such as yourself and can only give advice:
1. Dry the phone with a towell and put the phone in a plastic bag half filled with uncooked rice or silica gel pack and seal the bag
2. Do not remove or try to start the phone for at least 3 days
3. There is an extremely small chance the phone will start after drying this way, and even if it does, it's likely never to work well again and develop new problems in the future.
4. Get an out of warranty replacement from Apple. Unless you purchased damage inusurance, there is no warranty coverage for water damage

My nano turns off after about a minute. Battery is charged

I have a new Nano, the music does not play more than 30 seconds or so. Battery is charged.

This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged in all the way. The white part of the headphones should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be seen.
B-rock

My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off. But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.

I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help.

If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account. (The BETA recently went past it's valid until date.) There are discussions about this issue. Otherwise... for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on. Use Google.

Problem solved for now. Cleanded the jack port with a q-tip and pushed the cable in harder. Seems to be working. Thanks to all others who posted these past suggestions.
