Why dose my iPod turn it self of after 15 min. I have done everything Apple recomend

Why dose my iPod classic stop after 15 min. I have done everything Apple reformens. It has been like this fore a very long time. Somthimes it has workshop as normal but suddenly it startside Whitney this stupid behavour avsindig. I turn it on and it godes like 15. Min and it dies. After a min. or so I can start from the beginning again. Very tiering when your listening to a Audiobook. Can anyone help.

Is this shuffle white with a USB plug on one end. That's the 1st gen shuffle. If it has a clip with a colorful (or silver) metal case, that's a 2nd gen shuffle.
Since these two shuffles BOTH have this problem on your computer, ask your brother if he can use Restore in iTunes on these shuffles (or use the iPod Reset Utility). If it works on his computer, there is something odd happening on your computer.
If you think a combination of iTunes 8.1 and something about your computer is causing this problem, remove iTunes 8.1. Then install iTunes 8.0

Then see if you can get the shuffle to work or restore.

  • HT1476 why does my iphone turn it'self on after charging?

    Why does my iphone 4 turn itself back on after/while charging?

    You are right, Apple uses this "help" board to allow other users to help and yes it does avoid hiring more paid employees because every question answered here doesn't need to be answered by a phone person. But, not every question can be answered by other users or not every question is seen by the one person who does know the answer. When that happens, you still have the option to call Apple support at 1-800-275-2273 or you can go to https://expresslane.apple.com and speak directly with Apple.

  • I have done everything apple suggests, and my ipod still isn't working

    I was given a 1st generation shuffle from my brother and have been using it for about a year now until apple came out with itunes 8.1. Then things went bad....really bad. First it started playing songs in shuffle order even though I had shuffle off. After this, I had problems with new songs downloaded on the shuffle because they wouldn't play, and my song list was shortened. After this I tried restoring my shuffle and it couldn't restore it. It never finished restoring cause it came up with an error of 1419. I downloaded the apple reset utility program and all it does when I run this, is tell me an error, tell me it can't obtain information, or it freezes when I run that program. The one thing the program does do, it makes the i pod status light blink orange compared to it doing nothing at all. I have done everything else on the support page, i mean everything, and nothing has worked. I even got a new 1st generation shuffle from my brother and it ended up doing the same thing exact thing!!! Please someone tell me something that works!!

  • Sad Face iPod...I have done everything Apple has told me to

    I have done everything according to that document, and it doesn't work. My iPod will not go to disk mode. Also, whenever I try to reset it, it shows the charging icon, but it is frozen. I am really upset because this iPod is not even 10 months old. So I have two questions:
    1.) How can I fix this?
    2.)If it is not fixable, will Apple give me a new iPod? (and by new, I mean one with color and video)

    If this doens't work.....then you must take your iPod back to the apple store and let them see it. Hopefully you are under warranty !!
    iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop, an exclamation point or sad iPod icon appears onscreen
    You may need to restore your iPod if it does not appear in the Source list in iTunes or on your computer's desktop, or if an exclamation point and folder icon, or sad or "unhappy" iPod icon appears on the screen.
    You might see these symptoms:
    iPod does not appear in the Source list in iTunes.
    iPod does not appear on the desktop, in a Finder window, or in My Computer in Windows.
    A sad or unhappy iPod icon appears on the screen.
    An exclamation point and folder icon appears on the screen.
    Troubleshooting Steps:
    Make sure your computer meets the system requirements for your model iPod. Connecting your iPod to a PC that has older iPod software on it can cause this symptom.
    Macintosh users who do not have Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later can use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire cable to connect to a FireWire compatible iPod to a FireWire-equipped Mac. With Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable to connect a supported iPod to a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Put your iPod into disk mode and connect it to your computer.
    If you can see iPod on the desktop, in My Computer, or in iTunes, you're ready to restore it. You should attempt to restore the iPod even if it won't go into disk mode.
    Warning: Restoring iPod erases and reformats the hard disk. All music and other data on iPod will be erased. Make a backup of any files or music on iPod before restoring it.
    If you can't put your iPod into disk mode, reset it, then read the related documents to see if they might solve your issue. If not, consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod or visit your local Apple Retail Store.

  • Why dose my iPod turn white when I turn it on?

    My iPod touch is not working correctly. When I turn it on it goes to the apple like it is soposed to but then goes to a whole white page. Why dose that happened?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Nano not showing in my computer or iTunes - have done everything?

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron 8500. I have done and checked everything including running Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and reinstalling iTunes 8; resetting ipod which works fine; checking IEEE 1394 card. One thing that doesn't show is in Device Manager/UBS Controllers it doesn't show it connected not even as a mass storage device. I have worked on this stupid thing all day and now it's 11:30 pm and still not working. It seems like there are a lot of people with the same problem. Someone please help. I don't know what to do next.
    I also have a ipod shuffle and it doesn't see it either; however, it does see it and work under Windows Media Player, but the Nano doesn't work there either.
    HELP PLEASE

    To reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    If you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Center (Select) button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.
    When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time is preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on.

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

    Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

    Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
    P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.
