Shuffle button turns off ipod

Hey everyone,
I have a 3rd gen. ipod shuffle. Every time I switch over to shuffle it turns of the ipod.
Anyone else have this problem?

Id say an update or restore will help. Download and install the latest ipod updater 06-28-2006 here on your PC http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Open the iPod updater, connect the ipod to the PC and hit the update button, If the update button is grayed out or if updating the ipod does not fix the issue, try hitting restore, restoring the ipod wipes it clean of everything, then you use iTunes to load everything back

  • How to turn off iPod playing music in the background?

    Hi,
    On my iPhone 3g, when I'm using AOL Radio or playing game (with headphones on/off) it starts playing iPod..is there any way to turn off iPod while you are running other video/audio apps? I mean it just starts automatically out of nowhere n then i have to go in ipod n pause it. Any help???

    That's not happening to me. Try resetting your phone (hold down Home and Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo.

  • Can't get shuffle to turn off

    can't get shuffle to turn off, have reset ipod, synced with itunes, everything i can think of.

    How in the world did you figure that out?  I was going crazy trying to get it to turn off.  Should I keep Shake to Shuffle turned off?  If you want it to shuffle do you just reverse the process?  One last thing, what is the little icon on the other side for?  I had to turn it off as well to get shuffle to stop.  Thanks planb.

    I try to play an album on ITunes for Windows 7and it plays the first track then randomly goes to a different album and plays the whole of that. Can anyone explain why? Shuffle is turned off....

    I am working on a friend of mine's 15g ipod(W/dock connector)and I am having the same trouble except it does it to all the songs. I have tried reseting it multiple times, but to no avail.
    I am not sure that this runs on windows XP, it is absolutly archaic (compared to my 5th gen. 30g video).
    Help?

  • Does turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data

    When ever safari crashes I understand that it keeps that data and next time you connect it appears as diagnostic data. I always turn off/on my iPod touch when that happens. My question is that turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data? Is it necessary to turn off the iPod to stop crashing?

    I've not seen anything official but it is true in my limited experience that turning the iPod touch off does seem to clear that crash info. In my first two crashes I was offered to send info to Apple the iPod touch was connected to my iMac. In my latest two crahes I've turned the iPod off before connecting to iTunes and was not offered the chance to send info to Apple this time. Will continue to monitor.

  • ITunes 11.0.4 is shuffling music even when shuffle is turned off

    Grrrr. This is really driving me nuts.
    I'm using 11.0.4 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.8.4).
    iTunes will shuffle the music I'm playing even when shuffle is turned off. It will finish track 1 of an album (for example) and then go to 9. or 11. or 7.
    What the heck is going on??

    Hi Allen
    Many thanks for the links, although i was aware of the sleep proxy and its uses. The problem i'm having does seem to be related to this, although the key difference between what i am (or was) experiencing is the definition of 'occasionally' as mentioned on the page you linked to.
    What i was experiencing was the mac mini would go to sleep then 60 second later it would stir, as if being woken to reregister its services with the sleep proxy, then it would go back to sleep. Then around 60 seconds later it would do this again, and so on and so forth until it was fully woken in one way or another.
    Now i do seem to have made progress after digging around a little further. I did figure out that it was a bonjour service/ or device that was causing the mac mini to stir And as i mentioned in my previous message this behaviour would cease if itunes was closed or home sharing was turned off. So the only thing on the network that was connected to this was my 2 apple TVs. As a test i unplugged both boxes and put the mini to sleep again. Then i waited and waited and the mini stayed soundly asleep.
    I have since plugged the 2 ATVs back in, one at a time, and the mini now seems to be sleeping for around an hour before it wakes, presuming to do the sleep proxy service thingo.
    i'm just running another test to prove to myself that it is actually back to a more normal state with both ATVs plugged in, so fingers crossed.
    if anyone knows, does this now sound like a normal setup with the way the sleep proxy works?
    i suppose i should have done this at the start, but i have 1 airport extreme, and 2 ATVs (and few ipads, iphones and the like all onthe network), if that helps.

  • Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

  • Show my caller id button turns off after setting att

    show my caller id button turns off after setting at&t, any help

    Hi,  try this method, it works for me on an iphone4 & 4S (iOS7)
    make sure you have all apps closed before next steps.
    -Go to Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID. (if button is Greyed Out)
    -Pull down Control Centre & Turn On Airplane Mode & return to Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now slide your screen from right to left taking you to another screen, then slide back to your Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now You Can turn ON or OFF your Caller ID Button.
    -Lastly slide down you Control Centre again and Turn OFF your Airplane Mode.
    Thats it Job done.
    Please note, it will now stay in the mode that you have chosen(ON or OFF) even if you respring or reboot your phone. But if you return back to
    Show My Caller ID screen, then you SIM Provider will automatically Disable your Caller ID screen BUTTON once again. So just repeat the steps
    above and your be fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Turning off ipod is a strange design

    Turning off ipod by holding play/pause seems a really dim-witted design to shutdown anything. For one it does not ALWAYS work.
    Has anyone complained about this design?
    For crying out loud can’t an Apple engineer come up with an on/off switch I'm sure if they do China can make it. Heck make it an option I'd even pay extra for it.

    Adding another switch just to turn off the ipod would add parts and that lowers reliability and increases cost, so I can see why the ipod doesn't have a dedicated on/off switch.
    On the other hand, it should be smart enough to turn the screen off when commanded; if it still has disk housekeeping to do it could finish that up in the background, then actually turn itself off.
    I decided long ago to just forget about this whole issue, I just let my ipod turn itself off when it is good and ready. Having it run on for a few extra minutes uses a miniscule amount of battery anyway.
    Don't worry, be happy.

  • Please ship future iPod Shuffles with Shuffle Mode TURNED OFF

    I just got my iPod and loaded it full of podcasts. It kept flashing orange indicating that it was empty. I spent more than 4 frustrating hours restoring, reloading, reading, forums etc etc.
    Finally, I found a post that said the iPod will not play Podcasts when switched to shuffle mode. WHY NOT! Man! That was frustrating. At least it works now... like a charm.
    Apple,
    Please ship future iPods with Shuffle turned off and/or mention this issue in the quick reference cards and the .pdf manual so that others don't waste hours because of this quirk.
    Thanks

    Thanks, 0Ari0
    I looked again at the .pdf and insert and still found nothing mentioning podcasts not playing in shuffle mode.
    I suppose that I am once again the exceptional user in that I only loaded podcasts onto it and could not get them to play until researching the "problem/feature" regarding podcasts and shuffle mode.
    I realize that podcasts are something that you typically don't want played randomly. I do want them to play in an order. However I want them to play in an order that I specify. I have tried creating playlists, dragging each file individually to the iPod to get them in an order I want. Regardless of how I intertwine different episodes of different shows for a varied playlist the iPod somehow groups them, I believe, by release date.
    sadly they also get played backwards from most recent to the oldest regardless of how I load them. I want to listen from oldest to newest. Another, quirk that doesn't work for me personally. But, that is something I still have to research and figure out. I'm hopeful that it can do that.
    Anyway, thanks for responding. I have reading to do.

  • What if my home button turns off my iPod?

    I restored my iPod, after using it for a while if i press the home button, it turns off, then it makes me plug it into itunes and re-restore. This happens continously, please help.

    If it happens after restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Ipod Shuffle will turn off in the middle of a song!

    When I would listen to my ipod shuffle(2 gen. 1 gb) it would turn off. I wouldnt hit anything, i would just turn off. Sometimes I would just turn the swich off and then back on and it would turn on and work. Sometimes if I do that, it would turn on then back off. Sometimes, i would have to take out the headphones. And sometimes, it just wouldnt urn back on. I foy uhad this problem, or know how to fix it, please comment..Thank you!:)

    I have the same problem with mine... I haven't been able to determine yet if a particular song is causing the problem, but I do know that restoring the software did not fix it.
