I bought my nano week ago. Everything worked fine until updating it to 1.1 version. Now every time i turn off the screen, the currently played songed is paused.
Anyone got similar problem? Any ideas to deal with it?
Hi,
I have the same problem: after the update the music stops playing when the screen turns dark. I use my iPod in my car so I can't use the Apple earbuds. But anyway it is well connected to the car.
For the meantime, can anybody tell me how to install the older software version?
Thanks!
I am having the same issue since updating mine about 5 hours ago.
the second it goes dark while a song is playing the music pauses and it hasn't done that the 2 months I have owned it... is there a way to undo the update by chance?
Mine was working 'fine' until latest update and then last night it would stop playing every time it went to sleep, whether I pressed the button or just let it go dark on its own. Taking the advice here, I discovered I never had my headphones--neither my Apple ones nor my Panasonic ones--plugged in all the way. Now it works perfectly (much better than before)! You really have to push them in hard until they click and there's no metal showing. If you can jiggle at all, they aren't in far enough.
Thanks a lot .. it does sounds nuts but it solved the problem 😀
Yep ... headset was not fully inserted! Now it is and the music does not stop playing all by itself while changing to stand by ...
Give us more specifics on what you are doing and what your problem is. If you are seeing this and it is DEFINITELY not because your headphones are not inserted all the way, then there has got to be some difference in what you are doing. With enough info, maybe we can figure it out.
Basically every since the update everytime the screen is black music wont play, and after about a minute of the song when the screen goes off so does the music. The headphones are all the way plugged in too so it's not that...this *****, it needs to be fixed
This is definitely not a headphone related issue. Prior to the latest itunes update which I downloaded last week, my ipod nano 6th gen. was working fine. After the update, every time i press the sleep button the screen turns off as well as the music. If i were to not press the sleep button and just allow the screen to stay on, eventually the music will turn off when the screen turns off. This must be a problem with the recent itunes updates because i have read about many who have experienced the same problem that i am currently having. Again, it is not a headphone related issue, since ive had this ipod in november the sound has worked fine and i know when the headphones are alll the way in or not. is there anyway to get the older itunes software or do i have to wait for apple to fix this problem?
My nano also worked perfectly before the update. After the update the music would turn off along with the screen just like yours, but pushing the earphone plug in all the way corrected the problem.
I think some others have found that the nano will now only work with certain headphones so you might want to try a different type.
Some times mine won't even play for 30 seconds, other times I get a whole minute or two out of it before it stops. The sleep button is set to next track. The headphones are the original ones and they're fully plugged in. The ipod was playing perfectly fine until the update. Time to drag the old shuffle out and consider returning the nano to the shop because I didn't spend that much money on something that won't work right.
I've used three different types of headphones and all of them do not work. I have pushed them in as far as I can the problem is still happening. I don't understand how it can be a headphone issue because they were working fine before the update.
This just started for me too. Headphones are plugged in but it will stop and go to a dark screen. When this happens I hit play and the music starts again, it starts at the spot it stopped at. I don't know what is causing this but hopefully it will be fixed
Mine did the same thing after updating. I've only had this Nano for 2 weeks. I took it to the Apple Store and after a week they gave me a reconditioned one. The same thing happened to that one also. It plays for one minute and turns itself completely off. You have to wake it up every minute. I have restored it twice. Same thing. I'm getting the original back and returning it. I very much like the idea of this small nano but it does not work right. If anyone is listening do not upgrade this, something is very wrong with this upgrade.
You were right whisperer. I thought; Of course I have the ear plugs in right. But lo and behold, the plug was not all the way. I pushed it until I heard a click and everything is ok. Thank You Thank You, Even the apple people in the store did not get this. I'm so glad. This ipod is sooo cute. Besides It plays beautifully in my car.
THANK YOU! I just got my 6th gen Nano and had the same problem as described. I noted that the earphones were wobbly but was afraid to push them in farther.
I've had the nano for a few days and this is the first time it has played for more than a few seconds.
