Why does my nano ipod shuffle itself?

My nano 7th gen shuffles itself even though all shuffle options are off. It does it after I've finished listening to a disc left it off for a while and then I press the side button to restart. 

Hello rosicaformosa,
Thanks for the question. If you have not already done so, does resetting the iPod nano help the issue?

  • Why does my nano iPod 7gen shut itself off during a pause when running

    I am using the nano ipod 7th generation and nike plus. It  shuts itself off if I have hit pause during a run while taking a break. This is very frustrating because I have to start my run over, it also shows up as two runs in one day. How can I fix this?

    I usually hit the pause. I have tried putting it to sleep as not to bump the resume workout on the face. This doesnt help either. After a few minutes when waking up the ipod it shows the nike screen and I have to start a new workout.

  • Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
    There are some complaints,  that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why does my nano suddenly not display audiobooks option?

    Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

    There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus. 
    For example, on my 5th gen nano, Audiobooks in on the Music menu.  In Settings - General - Music Menu, I can select to show Audiobooks or not, on the Music menu.

  • Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos?

    Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos?  According to Apple's manual the Voice Memos will only work on the 32GB Ipod Touch.  The old 8GB does not have a microphone.

    The Apple Users Guide for the the iPod w/ iOS 4.2.1 says the the 2G, 3G and 4G  iPod have voice memos but you need an external for the 2G and 3G models since they do not have an internal mic.  No info on 8 GB model not having VM.  You can get the Users Guide from the iBook store.

    If you're not running iOS 8 as you describe you are not, and Siri keeps coming on, this could be a hardware failure of the Home Button.
    Try these steps:
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    hi Apfelwurm,
    why do you say it's not normal.
    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
    i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
    it's been noticed by others too.

    Why does my brand new shuffle have static?

    Describe it a little. Is it like very loud? Or hardly notable? It could be your headphones giving you that issue. Have you tried a different set of headphones?

  • Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I've reset the setting like other posts have suggested.

    Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I also have a hard time hanging up after a call. The screen goes blank like it's in a sleep mode. I have to use 2 hands to make it hang up--one to hold the home button and the other to hit the end bar. I've "Reset All Settings" in General Settings like other posts have suggested. This worked for a short period of time but now the phone is back to muting itself. Why does this happen?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • How many songs does an old ipod shuffle hold?

    how many songs does an old ipod shuffle hold?

    There are four different iPod Shuffle models and as many different capacities, so the answer depends on which one you have, the average song length in minutes, and the encoding bit rate used.
    Very approximately: Determine the iPod Shuffle's capacity in GB and multiply by 200. The maximum number of songs it can hold will be about that many.

  • 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 won't my iPod shuffle connect to itunes?

    I just bought the iPod Shuffle 4th Generation and downloaded iTunes onto my laptop today. The Shuffle won't connect to my iTunes or my computer properly.
    When I connected it to the computer (Windows 7), it said "unable to sync device" or something like that. I know it's not my USB ports because everything seems to work with it EXCEPT for the Shuffle. In iTunes, the Shuffle won't even show up in the devices. It's not my first time using iTunes. I used to have it on my old computer, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. In terms of the Shuffle itself, I turned it on and pressed play and it just keeps saying "please use iTunes to music onto this device"
    I already tried the troubleshooting guide, but that doesn't seem to work either ...

    If that error message says "unknown device" (it's not about syncing), the cause may be iTunes not being installed properly.  When iTunes is installed, it also installs drivers that allow Windows to recognize iPods.  You should try installing iTunes again.  You can download the latest iTunes installer here
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If that does not help, you may need to completely uninstall iTunes (and related components), then reinstall

  • Why isn't my ipod shuffle not showing up in my devices, or my desktop?

    I received my ipod shuffle (2nd gen) app. 2 years ago, however, this is the first time that I have ever tried to sync my current itunes library onto it. I connected the shuffle with a USB chord, but, the shuffle does not show up in "devices", nor on my desk top like my other ipod does. When it is plugged into the chord, the light flashes orange. I think that orange flashing means that it is "syncing music", however, there is no signs of the shuffle being connected to my Apple Mac in anyway. I have tried rebooting the computer, as well as turning my shuffle on and off. However, nothing has helped it. I have watched videos reviewing "fake shuffles" and I am confident that mine is not a fake. Please help me! Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.
