Q: Ipod nano - 7th generation

When I am listening to my ipod on my walks, the ipod automatically pauses (without me touching anything) 1 or 2 mins into the song.

 

How can I stop that from happening?

    Hello TrishSTrish,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    From your post I see that your iPod nano is stopping while listening to music.  Sometimes the headphone jack is not fully plugged into the iPod and can cause this to occur.  Even though the information below references a 6th gen nano, your 7th gen nano also applies.

     

    Sometimes the music you are listening to may quit playing when the display on your iPod nano (6th generation) goes dim.

    Verify that you have firmly connected the headphones to the headphone jack on your iPod nano.  The cable should be flush against the iPod with no visible gap.

    The image on the left below is an example of an iPod nano (6th generation) with a partially inserted headphone cable. On the right is an iPod nano with the headphone cable fully inserted and flush.
