Why does my nano 4th generation shuffling nonstop

My iPod shuffles by itself without any motion or touch. I have tried to reset it unsuccessfully. Now it is frozen ... is there any hope?

Because there is a corrupt file on your Touch. Restore it in iTunes from your backup.

  • Why does my nano 5th generation NOT have radio?

    I bought a used nano 5th generation...8GB and there is no radio option on it....everthing I find on-line says it should have it....anyone know why?

    No, any wired headphones will work but be sure they are plugged all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Why does my iPod 4th generation say the certificate for this server is invalid when trying to access iTunes? I've never had an issue until this recently.

    I have never had an issue until recently that won't allow me to go onto the App Store or iTunes on my iPod touch 4th gen. It says the certificate for this server is invalid. Then it says, you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be iTunes.apple.com which could put your confidential information at risk. How can I fix this so I can access iTunes and the App Store from my iPod again?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Why does my ipod 4th generation do the oppesite of what i want it to do? like when iam listening to music the voice commend comes on without me pressing anything or it shuts me out the internet wen i am browsing the web??

    my ipod is not working.it shuts me out of the internet and it starts doing things without me pressing anything. i bought the target store electronics warrenty but i haven't been able to get anything worked out. they ask me for some wierd numbers that i can not find anywhere on the ipod or warrenty..wat can i do??

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - 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.
    - Restoring from backup
    - Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod
    Are you using the headphone/mic?  If so sometimes sweat/moisture in the controls can make the iPod do strange things.
    What number are you looking for?
    If les than a year old, the Apple warranty still covers it.

  • Why does my iPad 4th generation lagg although its up to date

    PPlease assist me to rectify this problem I have an assignment to do and it's really hard to do with my iapd only lagging

    Hey Joshuaphillip,
    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you mean when you say that your iPad is "lagging". If you are having general slowness or responsiveness issues, you may want to make sure that your storage isn't full, as well as doing a basic restart/reset. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Does iPod nano 4th gen have Bluetooth?

    Does iPod nano 4th generation have Bluetooth capability?

    Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth. You may buy a Bluetooth adapter, and it won't necessarily be that bulky. I'm sure you can figure out how to connect then. If you need help in connections with an adapter and Bluetooth speakers, this may help, too:

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Try a hard reset first. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
    until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, 
    and then the Home screen.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
    Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks?  What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

  • 4th generation shuffle blinks orange constantly when plugged in, why?

    When plugged in, my 4th generation shuffle doesn't ever go to green.  It constantly blinks orange.  It's new, is there a problem, or is this just different from the 2nd generation which I had before?

    It's orange when it's charging, so nothing to worry about that

  • Nano 4th generation

    Have just bought a Nano 4th generation ( 2nd hand) from a Ebay seller. Was an upgrade from the Ipod Shuffle , and i bought it as it holds more music as that is all i want it for , as i walk a lot.
            Anyway am having loads of trouble with it , everytime i set it up to play i then put it into my pocket and start walking and it just suddenly does a squiggly noise and changes to another record , or it will play a record and keep missing words out . Think i have finally sussed out how the volume works , but that took a few times of messing around with it.
              Also i find ( unlike the shuffle) that it is temperamental about what ear phones it has plugged into it. It can be at a nice volume with one set but with another the songs are barely audible to my ears.
           Any help would be gladly accepted.
         Thank you.

    Hello wight original,
    For the songs skipping when you walk, take a look at the settings and turn off Shake to Shuffle. It will be in Settings > Music and the option is a toggle switch to turn off. Also go into your settings and look for Sound Check to make the songs have a very similar volume. Everything thing you need is in the articles below to further help you out.

  • HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

    I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC.  I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything.  When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'.  It also states the IPOD is up to date.  I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
    Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
    Thanks
