Sound shuts off after lengthy time not in use

Hello all -
Upgraded to new 2G Nano last week. Setup, firmware, iTunes7 all work fine. Play on Nano for the most part is fine. One very repeatable annoying issue occurs though:
Steps:
1. Play an audiobook or song
2. Pause the play and leave the Nano for a period of time (in my case > 1 hour)
3. Return to Nano and press play to restart at point of pause
At this point I expect to begin hearing from where I paused the audiobook or song. Instead the sound is muted (no sound at all) and I see the time lapse indicator ticking away.
I then ...
4. Paused the playback
5. Go to any other song on the Nano and begin play
6. Verify sound is back to normal (has been for all tests)
7. Go back to paused audiobook/song and start play again
At this point, the sound has returned.
Obviously - this is very annoying, especially if I am listening to audio books to have to go through steps 4-7 all the time.
Anyone else have this issue? Is this a possible software issue (iTunes 7 had me install latest 1.0.1 software for 2G Nano)? Or could it possibly be a unit issue for me to have local Apple Store technician take a look?
Any feedback is appreciated!

Yes! I have basically the same thing with my 8Gb. In my case, it affects only Audiobooks. In fact, every audiobook has the same issue. However, no song or podcast has the issue.

Optical out shuts off after some time without being used

Hi,
I bought a Mac Mini to run XBMC on my TV. I connect the video out via HDMI to DVI and optical out to my sound system. It works great when I first start using it but when I return (usually a day later), I don-t get any sound. Restarting the application doesnt fix the issue and neither does logging out of my profile. A software reboot fixes the issue.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any suggestions on possible fixes?
Thanks, -d

Hallo Tobias
You must understand that nobody here will be able to offer exact diagnostic and say what is wrong there. We can just speculate what it can be.
Such power problems are not easy to repair and mostly it has something to do with motherboard and power supply electronic or something else.
If you think BIOS battery is empty connect your notebook to the AC power supply and leave it ON about 48 hours. RTC battery should be full charged.
To be honest I don't believe problem is RTC battery. There must be something else. Anyway try to load RTC battery to see if there is some change to earlier situation.

My iPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use. I can shut it off with the on/off switch. What can I do to get the auto sut off feature back?

My IPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use as it had been doing a few days ago How can I restore this auto feature?

I have a new mac pro. i may have changed the settings and now when i log on it shuts off after 10 seconds. not long enough to check settings.

i am new to mac book pro. i was checking out the settings and must have changed something as now when i log on, it shuts down within 10 seconds and i don't have time to get into the settings. the top tool bar is red/pink. please help!

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these two files.
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.

All sound shuts off

Ihave a problem where all sound shuts off and restarting does not necessarily fix it. Applicatins work, but can't talk on phone. Anyone else have this problem? Is it a heating issue or something else?

apparently you are restarting the phone incorrectly.
to reset the phone press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time until you see a silver apple. DO NOT slide to turn off at the screen prompt, just keep holding those buttons until you see the apple.

IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?

Fixed!
Two things together have restored connectivity.
1. I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name. I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here. Easy enough to test.
2. I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

My home button wont work on iphone 4 and it can not charge and shuts off at random times, what do i do?

For some time now my iphone shuts off randomly or does not charge but as i woke up this morning, my iphone did not charge the previous night and would not reconize any charger. continuosly trying, the home button suddenly stopped working! this is a nightmare whats wrong with my phone?!
P.S. I changed the color of my phone (the glass back) will apple still fix it for me?

Apple wouldn't replace it. Since you replaced your rear glass im assuming you know a little something on how to open the iPhone. Go ahead and order a new Charge port flex cable (it runs the home button as well) Unless the home button has damaged under the "dome" you wouldnt need to replace that cable unless you really have too.

Ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when connect the charger my ipad2 is not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

My iPhone sporadically shuts off 5-7 times a day after upgrade to iOS 7. What should I do?

Maybe they can help if the situation is properly explained, because the time that I went, they said they couldn't do anything and that I should restore at home, when I already had. I will tell you, restartiong won't work.

Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes

Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Iphone 6 shutting off all the time

I've had an original iphone and an iphone 4 that the genius bar helpers were always very easy to work with and always gave me the right of hand when i needed a replacement.
This iphone 6 has been a nightmare, I've had it for less then one month and even after it being restored it kept SHUTTING OFF all the time!!!! I explained this to the rep.
However as a misfortune, the day I had scheduled my appointment the phone fell from my computer desk and shattered
Even with the 22 reported crashes I was still forced to pay $83 dollars to get a replacement refurbished phone!!!!
I have apple care, att insurance, and none of that crap covered the phone that was obviously defective due to its cosmetics.
this was absurd and I am very upset with apple and especially with the way the genius bar is now, inconsiderate with the public, not only do i get a piece of crap refurbish phone, this one is STILL SHUTTING OFF ALL THE TIME.
Anyone else having their iphone 6 shutting off constantly???

Update it to 8.1 and see if that helps. Otherwise Restore it as a new iPhone, not from your backup, and see if that helps. If it does you have an app that is misbehaving. You could also have a nanoSIM that needs to be replaced.

Shooting a video works sometimes, but sometimes it shuts off after one second without recording any video

Have had the Turbo Droid for only 3 days and just tried to shoot video. Twice it worked, but more often it seems to begin recording, but shuts off after one second without recording anything.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong to cause this to happen.
Can you help?
Thanks!

Thanks, EfrainM_VZW.
Haven't seen any error messages. Occasionallly, but only rarely, the video will record 1-2 frames, but most of the time it just shuts down. I have tried it with and without the rubber-grip case; taking off the case had no effect. The video still would not function.
When you tap the video camera icon, it tries to shoot video and seems to begin to record, but one (or two) second(s) later, it beeps and stops. Rarely with a frame or so of video; mostly nothing is recorded.
The still camera works great! Love being able to touch it anywhere to grab a snap.
BTW, my partner and I got identical phones at the same time last week. His video has the exact same problems as my phone.
Another point: I downloaded the Google Camera and can shoot video just fine through that camera. But not through the stock Motorola camera that came with the Droid Turbos.
I'm starting to think we got phones from a defective batch.
What do you think?

Sound cuts off after 1 minute. Wireless HPs Model: TMR-RF985R

I replied to a topic regarding the same issue, but will make a thread about it as the problem is urgent (I need noise cancelling sound for a symptom I suffer from) and of course I use these headphones almost 24/7 as my work/lifestyle relies heavily on them.
THey were working fine for roughly ~ 2 years until recently when I started noticing that they shut off after some use. I used to think it was the batteries, but I charge them for 15 hours every night just as I always have, so that can't be it. Everything is plugged in. I've lurked over threads discussing the same problems all over the net and applied all their inputs to no avail.
Any help is MUCH appreciated - any help that would actually work! My gut says these headphones are on their way to the grave.
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Argh now I'm ransacking the entire internet to figure out how I'm supposed to get to the batteries on these headphones. Any help would be appreciated... (I know it's quite a newbish question, but what the he11, given the stealth on this thing!)
UPDATE: I guess there is no option to replace the batteries without sending it over to the manufacturer??? That's kinda imprudent IMO but maybe I'm missing something (?). So I have to pay an additional fee including shipping for something that I should be able to do free of charge minus expenditure on batteries.

For the iphone4, my light is on all the time! the light is supposed to turn off after a few seconds of use. how can i fix this?

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by
