Turning off ipod nano 5g internal speakers

is there a way to turn off the ipod nano 5g internal speakers without having to connect the headsets? I just connected the Motorola bluetooth adaptor and I can listent to the music in my headstets but also from the internal speakers.

To answer the question of how to turn off the internal speaker on the iPod Nano 5th gen., which stays on even when you plug in the headphones, here is what I had to do: I first unplugged the headphones from the unit. Then, I cycled power on it by holding down the Menu and center button at the same time until it powered off. This could take a couple of seconds so be patient. After the unit powered back up, I plugged in the headphones and the music started to come through the headphones and NOT the unit only. Hope this helps.

  • Turning off iPod nano

    I just bought me an iPod nano the other day. It seems to work perfect, and I'm not having any scratch related problems.
    I do have one problem though, sometimes my nano won't seem to turn off. Holding the play/pause button is the right action, I know that, and it works.. Sometimes, but not allways.
    I can't event chose the "sleep" option and get it to turn off, it just plain ignores my commands.
    So I just wanna know if anybody else have had this problem, and if so, how to you fix it?
    Thx

    I might have had the same problem as you are having. First of all it seems that the nano takes a longer time to turn off than previous ipods. Try holding it down for a long long time. If that doesn't work then there might be a manufacturing problem with the button. When I tried to turn mine off it would go off for half a second and then turn back on. Right now I'm in the process of replacing my nano with Apple.

  • Turning off ipod nano, turning off ipod nano

    Always find the most obvious functions conveniently left out by the Apple engineers including how to turn off the ipod Nano. 
    Ironically it is always resources 'outside' Apple that usually has the answers..
    There is so little information available on it, and many theories including the fact that it is still a 'bug'?
    Please enlighten me.
    Very disappointed at your poor user interface and repeated signing into the same user name/ account.. just to write this bit of info..

  • Cannot turn off ipod

    I cannot turn off my ipod nano. I held down all of the different buttons to see if that made a difference, but it swtill wont work. does anyone know what i can do to make it shut off so it wont eat up the battery?

    I have the same problem, my nano just stays on all the time, i cant turn it off at all, i tried restoring it and updated the software, tried to reset it and no matter what it just wont turn off. the nano works fine, other than the fact it wont turn off. also i charged it and when it was done charging i took it out of the charger and didnt turn it on, but when i did i noticed that some of the battery had died, meaning the battery was dying even while the screen was blank. help please!

  • Is there a way to auto on and off iPod nano

    Any way to automatically turn on and turn off a nano?

    I think most Apple users will ignore your question. First of all, I suggest you read the documentation. If you choose not to; rely on that all powerful two button mouse (Apple users are only now beginning to recognize the advantages of this type of device; and Intel chips).
    right click on the iPod nano icon in iTunes;
    select iPod options;
    click the photo tab;
    check the appropriate box;
    That should work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • IPod Nano to Car Speakers

    I have a white 2 GB iPod Nano 1st Generation and I want to be able to play my iPod through my car speakers. I already have the USB cable and the car charger, can i just plug the cable & the charger into my car and then turn off my radio and press play...or do i need to by one of those FM Radio iPod converters for a car in order for me to play my iPod in my car?

    Either that or an expensive retrofit. My last car had a lousy radio so I bought a Sony that had an aux port. There are also some really expensive models that have iPod ports. Another option for some cars is an expensive device that adds an auxilliary input to your factory radio but there can be downsides. For me I have a choice of losing my XM radio or losing audible warnings. And then there's the FM transmitters. I bought a Kensington digital and am mostly happy with it. I say mostly because in some areas there is no free frequency so the iPod is unusable.

  • IPod 2nd Generation Internal Speakers Not Working - HELP PLEASE!

    A couple of days ago my ipod's internal speakers stopped working, the volume control dissapeared and no sound was coming out. Now, when i have my headphones in, music will be playing but every so often they will cut out and again, the volume control bar will dissapear. I then have to remove the headphones and put them back in. I've tried resetting the ipod and turning it on and off, no change.
    Any help to solve it please? or is this the end of my trusty ipod?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    try to restore "as new ipod", don't use your backup to get your settings back to your ipod, it may contain the corrupt files causing this problem.
    Make sure you transferred your purchases and synced your contacts/calendars before you start.

  • Automatically turn off ipod?

    Hi, im sorry for my english, im spanish and i only know the basic english, i hope that you cand understand me.
    I go to say my problem directly because i dont know many words.
    My problem is that, i have the ipod nano 4g in a dock, because i dont want that the ipod is pulled in the table.
    When the ipod is in dock while the computers is on, is always charging, i see that there no problem with that, but when i turn off the computer, the ipod remains on and is spending battery.
    There are any option on the ipod for when i turn off the computer the ipod turn off too.
    Thanks

    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."

    As long as all of the songs are in iTunes, you will be fine. You can restore the iPod, then reload everything from iTunes...
