When listening to an audio book the ipod nano (6th generation) keeps turning off?

Help!  I just purchased an ipod nano (6th generation) for the sole purpose of listening to audio books.  When I start a book about 20 seconds into it the screen goes dark and  the ipod stops...then I have to turn the on/off switch on to begin the book again.  I'm sure it has something to do with the settings, but I cannot locate the information I need in the ipod manual.  Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I saw your other post, but thought I would reply here as well. It is all about getting that headset seated all the way. If you can see any silver of the plug, it is not in far enough. Push harder. If it just won't go in, look in there to see if it is blocked. The bottom of the headset port is white, so if it appears all dark at the bottom... something is in there.

  • Why is damaged the power button on the iPod nano 6th generation?

    Hello everyone,
    Is the second time this happens to me with the ipod nano 6th generation, can someone tell me, why is damaged the power button?

    You may not intentionally be doing anything. The device is small enough to fit in your pocket and perhaps something in your pocket is causing the damage. Maybe even the pocket itself when inserting or removing the device as the power button may snag on the pocket opening.

  • My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off.

    My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off while listening to a song. I was happier with the older version which they claimed had a battery problem and replaced it with the newer version. The batterrry on the 6th gen is fully charged.

    You aren't pushing hard enough on the headphone jack and plugging it all the way in. The headphone jack is very tight when new, make sure the white plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the Nano.

  • Is the IPod Nano 6th Generation Apple's least reliable product?

    Do apple have a product that is less reliable than the IPod nano 6 G?
    Do any companies have less reliable products than the IPod nano 6 G?
    If so, what are they?
    I got my 6th replacement nano 6G (7th nano 6G since February) at the beginning of July.  It's now packed in - won't switch on, won't connect to computer. Some lasted under 3 days and given it took 2 of those days to sync to iTunes I only got a few hours use.  Going on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks so can't use the postal replacement service this time, but will need to do it when I get back.  Wish Apple will do what I asked last time and just give me a refund so I could buy a product that works for longer than an average of 3 weeks.
    The forums have several other customers with similar tales of woe.
    What's going on?

    def, either visit a apple retail store or call apple care 18002752273. Make sure you have warranty if not it will cost 65$ to repair replace.

  • My Ipod nano 4th generation just turned off and I can't restart it.  Tried all the troubleshooting tips. Can't find the issue.

    My three year old ipod nano 4th generation has been working fine all these years. Suddenly, last week, while it was low on battery (not completely drained), it shut down and I cannot restart it. I have tried all the troubleshooting issues and still did not manage to turn it on. Though. when I press center and menu while connected to my computer, the computer bips has if it recognized that something is trying to connect. Though, it cannot identify it and the iPod remains shut down. I cannot find the issue, perhaps I need a battery replacement?

    It's possible.  Just take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Is the ipod nano 6th generation 8 or 16gb compatible with blue tooth/coordless earphones?

    Is the 6th generation ipod nano (any gb) compatible with bluetooth/coordless headphones?

    No.  As it does not have any bluetooth or wireless hardware built in. There are bluetooth dongles available though that add the bluetooth hardware and functionality.

  • How do you change the time zone/time on the iPod nano (6th generation)?

    Hello,
    I recently moved to a new city in another time zone and I am not able to figure out (or find out on forums) how to change the time on my 6th gen iPod nano. It's something I would like to fix because the Fitness application records your activity according to time. Any advice would be great!

    Go to SETTINGS on your iPod Nano 6G.
    From SETTINGS -> GENERAL -> DATE & TIME -> TIME ZONE and select the right zone/location form there.

  • Ipod Nano 3rd generation keeps turning on and off

    I have a brand new Ipod nano. I updated the software on the ipod and my itunes. I then put songs on my ipod. After that, i ejected my ipod using the button on itunes and also by disconnecting with the windows icon in the lower left hand corner.
    The ipod went to the main menu and appeared to be working. I then plugged it back in to my computer to download something else. Itunes then told me that it did not recognize my ipod and that i would have to restore to factorty settings. So i hit the link to restore to the ipod to factory settings. The ipod restarted and then itunes said that it was corrupted and needed to be restarted. Meanwhile my ipod began turning on and off, only displaying the black screen with the apple in the middle and then turning off, then turning back on and displaying the apple again.
    Currently, I'm waiting for the battery to completely die, so that i can see if that will fix it. If anyone has heard of this problem and knows the solution, it would be appreciated. Happy Holidays.

    All,
    I had the same issue on my new Ipod Nano. It works now! I did the following:
    1) Called Apple. Apple told me the next steps.
    2) Toggle the Hold switch 6 to 8 times. I did 10
    3) Press the center button and the PLAY button! Hold for ten seconds
    4) A check mark appears!
    5) Connect to computer and restore your Ipod!
    6) Thank me later!

  • How many others have iPod nano 6th generation with on/off buttons broken?

    I've been reading on here just how many others have the same problem as I do.  My Nano is a few months outside the warranty and the on/off button doesn't work anymore.  It works if in a docking station but what use is that?  The button gave me a few problems inside the 12 month warranty but it was intermittent - I just thought I hadn't pressed the button right!  Apple must surely do something about this design flaw - there are countless people complaining about the same thing!  I just tried to log a 'support call' - to discover I must pay £25 before someone will even answer the phone?  I will definitely think twice before buying another Apple product - this is the second iPod with which I have had 'design' flaws.  The first was a worldwide defective replacement due to battery problems - they at least had the decency to replace those.  Absolutely rubbish customer care.

    Take a lesson from this: even if you have a device where the problem is interrmitent take it in to the Genius Bar anyway. Had you done this, and even if it hadn't acted up while you were there it would be on record that you brought it in prior to the warranty expiring for the problem. This applies to anything you buy with a warranty.
    That said, neither of the 6th Generation models I have (and had), nor any of the about 10 I gave as gifts, have had the problem. If I were you I would call AppleCare, immediately tell them you want to be transferred to Customer Service, and calmly lay out to them your situation in a calm manner and see what they can do for you.
    The replaceement program for the 1st Generation Nano was due to a Sony battery issue and did not involve all models, only those with a certain range of battery serial numbers. It was also a safety hazard.
