Hi there.
Just wondering if anyone has expierienced their Nano pausing by itself? And if so what they have done about it.
I realize that the Nano auto pauses when the headphones are removed so that any loose connection inside the headphone jack would cause the Nano to pause instead of the music just cutting in and out but I have 3 sets of headphone, all in good shape, and this problem occurs with them all. I actually had an apple rep agree with me that it was a hardware problem, so I sent it in to them for replacement but they sent it back saying there was no problem found (Man, that was annoying. I dont care if you didn't find the problem, the fact remains that there is a problem). So I called the apple rep on this and he said that that just means that they determined that it was a software problem as opposed to a hardware problem and that they aren't responsibe for software. He also promised me that 90% of software problems can be solved by using the 5 Rs. Restore, Reset.....whatever i'm sure you've all heard of them. Well i've tried it and it's still pausing at random.
Any ideas people? I'm actually starting to wonder if the electrical current in my body is interfering with it. lol (ok i know i just lost a bunch of people who now think i'm a nut but i just can't think what is going on here)
Actually last night it actually stopped auto pausing when i did take the headphones out but a restore fixed that so maybe i am looking at a software problem.
Also, is there any chance that unplugging my nano from the computer before unmounting it could cause it to damage the chip? I don't have my nano set to disk use but i still get the little icon in the task bar that reminds me to click on it before i unplug the nano.
Thank you in advance for any insight you may be able to offer.
