Why does my ipod touch keep pausing itself?

While listening to my first generation ipod touch, it will just pause itself. Whether using headphones, auxillary jack, or skull candy speakers which connect through the charging port on the ipod. REALLY ANNOYING!

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable       
- Try on another computer                                                       
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while.  Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent.  Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

  • Why does my iPod Touch keep changing the date and year?

    Whenever I charge my iPod Touch after it completely dies, Safari never loads whatever site I'm trying to go on and the date always goes to Thursday, January 1st, 1970. I noticed the time always changes as well. i.e. it's 10:47am now and the time on the iPod says 5:35am. I don't know how or why it keeps doing this. I didn't mind it the first 2 times, but this keeps happening everytime I turn it on. Does anyone else's do this??

    Hi eskimoerin,
    reset & software update could fix the problem.
    Don't forget to backup your data from iPod.

  • IPOD TOUCH KEEPS PAUSING ITSELF! PLEASE HELP

    HI EVERYONE<
    I HAVE PROBABLY THE MOST ANNOYING PROBLEM THE IPOD TOUCH COULD HAVE...IT KEEPS PAUSING THE SONGS (AND EVEN VIDEOS) AFTER EVERY FEW MINUTES...EVEN IF ITS LOCKED. NOW I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING LIKE RESETTING IT, RESTORING IT AND ALL THAT AND EVEN DRAINING THE WHOLE BATTERY AND CHARGING IT AGAIN. IT WONT WORK.
    I HAVE HAD MY IPOD TOUCH FOR A MONTHS NOW AND I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF **** FROM IT. THING IS, FIRST IT COULD NOT TURN OFF BUT I SORTED THAT BY RESTORING IT AND RESETTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES I MUST SAY. BUT NOW, ANYTHING I PLAY EITHER A VIDEO OR A SONG PAUSES ON ITS OWN!!! I COULD SIMPLY PRESS PLAY AGAIN BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS INTO THE SONG, IT PAUSES AGAIN. I CAN NEVER HAVE IT IN MY POCKET NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO CLICK "PLAY" EVERY 15 SECONDS ARGGH. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME

    I also want to submit my experience. Same exact thing happened to mine. It only happened after the recent update to ver 2.0.2 (5C1), and it's really ANNOYING!! You can't listen to an mp3 or any music this way when it pauses every few seconds! Of course, all the free apps I downloaded could be subject to scrutiny... Overall, the new apps as well as the default apps seem to still work with minimal issues.
    The music sometimes jumps ahead to the next track, but mostly just pauses randomly within each track. Last night I temporarily cleared it up by holding the power off for 5 seconds, and it provides a red slide off [something I never saw before], waited a few minutes, then turned back on. (Found this step on another post.) I imagine this resets the system and may clear some garbage. After I did this [a few times] I successfully listened through a track or two, but was so peeved, and paranoid, I couldn't enjoy the music! I hope this doesn't happen next time. I thought it was a corrupted mp3 at first, but it happens to all tracks, and it seems to be an internal problem. If this continues, I may want to clear reset the whole device and possibly revert back to when it worked great, but then again, they may clear it up with another software revision.

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

    Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

    From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
    Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
    How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
    How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
    Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

  • Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

    The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Why does my ipod nano keep pausing about 10's seconds into a song

    when my ipod nano 8Gb is plugged into my computer works fine. but when i unplug it it plays for abt 10=20 seconds and then it pauses..very annoying. anyone know how to fix before i throw it against a wall?

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • Why does my iPod touch keep repeating the same song?

    Since I loaded the software update 4.1 my music keeps replaying one song unless I choose to shuffle. What have I done?

    Hello jennysipod,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure you don't have your iPod set to repeat one song. While one song is playing, tap the artwork to bring up additional controls. You'll see a icon below the scrubber on right side that probably has a 1 on it. Tap it to change the setting to something else such as off.
