TS3474 Why does my iPod Nano turn off after one minute of use?

I just got a new 16 GB iPod Nano and it turns off after one minute of use.  Why does it do this?

I figured it out.  Headphones were not plugged all the way in.  This support community is awesome.  Thanks everyone.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Why does my ipod nano shut off after taken out of charger

    Whenever I take out my iPod Nano Generation 6, out of the charger cord, it works until I press the power button, and stays in sleep mode. Even after holding the power button, it won't turn back on.

    This used to happen once in a while with my ipod classic.  You need to "reset" the ipod.  For the 6th Gen. Nano, try holding down the sleep/wake button and the volume down button simultaneously, for about 8-10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears.  You can also see the info here: support.apple.com/kb/HT1320

  • My nano shuts down after one minute of use, why?  Brandnew

    My nano shuts down after one minute of use and it doesn't matter if I'm using the radio or playlist.  This is brand new so I've only ever listened to 1 minute of a song. Help

    Kevin,
    This usually happens when your headphones/earbuds aren't plugged all the way in. Double check the connection of the headphones and make sure the jack is free of debris.

    If still within warranty, have an apple service center check your ipod or request for replacement. cheers!

    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.

  • Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

    every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

    Try the following fixes in order:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iPod keep turning off by itself

    why does my ipod touch keep turning off by itself?

    Is it running hot? There are thermal limits that will shut it down.
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Why does my iPod classic turn off?

    I've had my iPod classic for about five years now and about two months ago it started to act weird. Whenever I would press next too much I notice the battery depleting to almost the red zone, but I fully charged it that day.Before all of this happened I noticed that my iPod would always ask to be restored. Now, it seems to have gotten a lost worse. Before I could listen to my iPod classic for at least a whole day without needing a charge, but now I can't even do that anymore. I'd be lucky if I could listen to a whole album. I would love to try and buy a new iPod classic, but I'm a college student and broke so I really can't afford one. So any help would be great. Thank you!

    You most likely have activated the sleep timer.
    Setting the Sleep Timer
    You can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow for a
    specific period of time.
    To set the sleep timer:
    1 Choose Extras > Clock and then choose a clock.
    2 Choose Sleep Timer and choose how long you want iPod to play.
    When you set the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod
    turns off appear in the Now Playing screen on iPod.

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPod randomly turn off?

       I have an iPod 3rd generation. I will be playing an app,surfing the web, or checking my emails and my iPod will randomly turn off. First it will dim to the point you can barely see it, then it freezes, and turns off.  I have tried restoring it, and a  force shutdown. I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Why does my iPod automatically turn off?

    When i turn it on just to play multiplay or a long game for hours, my iPod turns off. Any help will do.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Why does my iPod touch turn off right after I slide to unlock?

    I have a third generation iPod touch that used to work just fine. However, it won't turn on unless charging and as soon as I slide to unlock it, the slide to power off option turns on. Despite cancelling it, it automatically turns off. It's very frustrating and I've tried restoring it, but to no avail. The problem continues.
    Any suggestions as to how to get it up and functioning properly again?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
