ipodjogger,
I just did an eBay search for iPod dust caps like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Dust-Cover-Cap-Set-iPhone-4-4S-iPad-2-iTouch-iPod- Classic-Nano-/280753668015?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item415e38ffaf#ht_1164w t_1156).
But getting these dust caps doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I had my first Nano replaced due to the volume problem, and it just started occurring on the second one this morning. I have headphones with a built-in volume control, but as Alan Fletcher stated, it happens without headphones attached. I use the thing for running, but I'm very careful about getting it damp.
I am having exactly the same issue. I purchased my nano in December last year. Then, in March 2012, while running at the gym, the volume kept turning itself down. This happened on each occassion that I used the device at the gym thereafter. It is very frustrating, particularly as this is really the only thing that I use the nano for (together with the Nike plus chip to track training). I took my nano into the Apple store in Polanco, Mexico City, but the problem did not repeat itself, adn they will not replace the device (and anyway, what's the point of replacing it if the new one is just going to have the same problem). I am using it with the Apple nano wristband. What else am I supposed to do?
This Happened to me too... and i take AMAZING care of it... its stuck on the turning volume down right now...and its not water...but its my ipodtouch 4th gen...so its not just the nano
turns out it was when i accidentally got a drop of water in my button... to fix just let it dry out without using it... and it will evaportate...but dont touch it and make sure to leave it somewhere sunny so it will evaporate
My 6th generation iPod is doing the same thing with the volume. I got this one as a replacement from Apple because the first generation I had apparently could catch fire. I use my iPod with a wrist band too. And same thing...the volume turns itself down to the point of muting itself. I like my first generation nano better than this one by far. I never had a single issue with it. I am definitely regretting my replacement! And...there is no warranty with this iPod or support I can get because they go off of the date you originally purchase your iPod. Thanks Apple. Now I know why I am not a frequent user of your products!
I had the same problem. I was using headphones that had volume controls on the cord. Just on a hunch I tried a pair that didn't have those controls and I haven't had a problem for a few months or more. It could just be coincidence but I doubt it.
Alan,
Were you able to get that replacement iPod after the 90-day grace period? Mine just started doing the same thing this morning and it's so frustrating!
