Why does my music pause after about an hour

Hi all. I am having trouble with my 7th gen ipod nano. After about an hour or so of listening to music, the device will pause on its on. I have to fully charge it again to solve the issue. If I do not fully charge it, I have to press and hold the ear buds into the jack to fix the problem. Oh and I am not using the original head phones. There seems to be a shortage of some sort. Please help.

Hey Shamika,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano stopping play of music after one hour and being unable to resume normally, I would suggest that you first attemtp to reset the iPod. See this article for directions -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
Specifically -
7th generation: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to restore your iPod to factory settings. Use the steps in this article -
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L

  • Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

Any suggestions? This is my first iPod and I am ready to take it back if I am unable to extend the playing time. Frustrating!

    I can imagine that is frustrating as heck.  My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep.  Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
    "If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
    Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures???  If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

  • When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

    I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
    The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
    Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
    Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    Keynote version 6.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
    It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

  • TS5181 Why does the music stop after the song starts?

    In iTunes Radio, a song will start playing, then it stops. How can this be fixed?

    - Try unsyncing and then resyncing all the music
    - Reset the iPOd. Nothing will be lost
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why does my music stop playing on my macbook air

    I have a macbook air with GB memory and 128GB storage. I"m using Yosemite X OS 10.1.1
    Whenever I play music from either my iTunes or Spotify library the music stops after about an hour and the macbook goes into sleep mode. This does not happen on my iPad?
    I've tried troubleshooting via system preferences as I thought It might be to do with the screen or energy saver or a limiting function associated with the software. I've looked on both apple and spottily support sites and spoken to friends who have similar products but do not experience the same problem.
    I'd be grateful for any ideas

    Hello rjsw15, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It is normal for your display to turn off while music is playing on your MacBook Pro, but it is unexpected that the computer would go to sleep. 
    In your case, I'd recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) as a troubleshooting step to try first. This step helps in a variety of cases, including:
    The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
    You can find more information and the steps to reset the SMC on your MacBook Air at this link:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy 

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Why does my text DARKEN after I RASTERIZE it?

    If anybody could answer this question for me, that would
    be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Why does my text darken after I click outside the text marching-ants box?  And then why does it get even darker once I rasterize the text layer?
    this is puzzling me and I'm sure the answer is obvious..
    I've ATTACHED a picture of my issue..
    THANKS for any help!
    Dan

    Ah, ok that makes sense! 
    Thanks for the quick response!
    I've noticed if I export it as a JPEG and then minimize the JPEG, it darkens as well.. 
    Ok, one more quick question if you don't mind..
    How come even though I set my canvas size at 15" x 13"... 
    when I zoom to 100% it's waaay too big to even fit on my screen,
    appearing maybe 3' x  4' ...?
    I'm confused about what canvas sizes I should be using
    in designing a standard webpage background or an image for a Youtube video..
    ...and on that note, is there a way to shrink the canvas while having all your layers
    proportionately adjust their contents to the new canvas size?
    Thanks for any info!

  • Why does my music on my ipod touch 5th generation get deleted when I connect it to iTunes on my computer?

    Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

    why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

    You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
    If so, contact your wireless carrier.  That's a cellular connection issue.

  • Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it and how do i remove it

    why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it

    Here's what I had to do, no thanks to the others on here who go at it like Apple, delete and restore.
    No, you don't have to delete and restore. Just open a folder on  your computer, call it something like iPad music, keep it open, open iTunes, select all your music, copy and paste it in the folder you just created, delete all your music from iTunes (relax, you just copied it into that folder). Select all the music in that folder, drop it back onto your playlist. Now, I renamed my playlist, because it was called untitled, originally, so if that doesn't work, rename, or delete and recreate your playlist, copy the music back over, sync, and they will play.
    Worked for me, anyhow. Good luck!
