If you cannot reset the iPod correctly, see this.

It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

  • HT1212 my ipod is frozen and wont do anything!!! what do i do????

    my ipod is frozen and wont do anything!!!!!! i need help on restarting it. it is stuck on my lock screen

    If still problem try the remaining items of:
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - 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 frozen, and appears to be crashing my computer when I plug it in

    After owning my ipod nano for a whopping two hours, and playing a total of two songs on it, the nano froze. I attempted to select music based on album, hit play, and it froze on that position. It doesnt dim or power down after awhile or anything.
    I hooked it up to my machine and tried to start itunes, and it would not start. Later, I started itunes by itself after rebooting the machine. Plugging it in after the fact causes no change on the screen (still frozen) and itunes never acknolwedges that an ipod has been plugged in.
    I read the instructions, and know that supposedly, according to the instructions, holding down the mouse wheel for five to ten seconds, or flicking the hold switch will reset the ipod.
    Unfortunately it doesnt.
    I'm really, really regretting this purchase. Anybody know what I should do?

    To clarify it only crashed my computer once, but did seem to actually prevent itunes from starting.

  • IPod Nano Frozen please help :)

    Hello,
    My 3rd Gen. iPod Nano has frozen on me. This is what happened in detail..:
    I turned my ipod on and it just came on stuck on a screen which is a song that is playing . The ipod says that it is on hold but it isn't. The volume bar is showing constantly . The ipod isn't responding to anything i do to it. It won't reset. it won't connect to the computer. It's just stuck on the music player area where it says:
    Now Playing (Lock which means it's on hold but isn't) <paused>
    <Song Name>
    <Artist>
    <Album>
    <2 of 47>
    <Volume bar is 100%>
    Any ideas?
    Oh and the screen never turns off it's jsut constantly on.
    Thanks for reading .

  • New Ipod nano FROZEN!

    Okay, I've done everything that the support section has said to do. My ipod nano 3rd generation has not responded to anything I've done. The hold slid thing is off, and my nano is even connected to the computer, and my computer isn't reading it.
    I even reboot my system to make sure it's running fine, and I also know that I've got the updated itunes.
    What's next? Do I go back to best buy to see what they can do for me? Or did I waste $200.00 on the nano?
    There is a full charge, and the screen is on. It will not reset at all. It's frozen to where it is not responding to anything that I do.
    HELP! I don't think I can live without it... LOL

    I have just been given a new ipod nano for my birthday. I cannot for the life of me get it to sync. I have songs in my itunes libary which have been taken from my previous libary of music on my PC (Windows Media??). The ipod will start to sync and says '1 out of 898' or something at the top. It syncs 7 tracks then freezes EVERY SINGLE TIME! I have never been so frustrated with something, as it appears to sync but then freezes- I don't have limewire or anything so why does this happen!?! Please help me out as I'm beginning to feel your products are poor. All I want to do is put my music on my ipod. My brother told me that ipods do not hold tracks that are non-compatible (MP3 for example) but I got an ipod as I was told the opposite.
    Get back to me, Sarah, 17

  • My ipod nano will not sync with anything

    about 2 months ago i bought an ipod nano 4gb. It has worked great until i updated my itunes the other day. I sync'ed it fine and added some songs, but now it will not sync with anything. not my computer, my buddies computer, or my xbox 360. it will charge though. I also have an ipd mini that works fine. i am getting very angry and i need some help befor i lose what is left on my already deminishing mind. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
    P.S. has anybody else noticed that apple has the worst support out there. i cant even get a phone number without buying a service plan

    Hey all, I had to call Apple Support to resolve the issue as nothing on the web provided an answer. So for all you out there having the same problem, here's the ituation and full resolution, so you can save time and money (if your product's warranty is expired).
    Situation: I bought a brand new Mac Air on 12/7/12 and tried to sync my 6th generation iPod nano (previously configured to a PC) with no sucess. ITunes was only allowing me to charge and eject the nano.
    Solution:
    1. Go to View>sidebar
    2. In the sidebar, click "iPod" under the Devicies category
    3. Click "Music" section next to "Summary" under the status bar
    4. Make sure "Sync" box is checked with your preferred preferences underneath
    5. Click "Sync" in bottom right corner of window
    Apparently, iTunes 11 is quite different and the sidebar with usual options and playlists does not appear unless selected in the "View" drop-down.
    FINISHED!  

  • Ipod nano FROZEN!

    ok. so my ipod nano is the new 3rd generation is frozen. i plugged it to the computer on hold, and like i unplugged it and now its not moving. nothing, nada. it wont turn off. the back light is on and it wont do anything! HELPP

    Solution! The same thing happened to me, as you noticed (you replied to my thread). It turns out that using the restore option does not work (if you were considering that). Instead, press and hold the Menu and Center buttons at the same time for ten seconds or so, until the Apple logo appears. You may have to do it several times, though it only took once for me. Also, try laying the iPod on a flat surface when you press the two buttons, and have the thing unplugged.

  • Ipod Nano...cant see it in itunes...locks up itunes..

    I have a brand new ipod nano...less than a week old. Worked fine until yesterday...it locked up, then I lost all of my music. When I tried to connect to itunes...it doesnt show up in itunes when connected. When I disconnect, it says it needs to restore to factory settings. Which would be fine...but it locks up itunes and I cant do anything. Does any one have any suggestions. I am not very happy at this point. I am curretnly using windows Vista and the latest version of Itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to see if that would help and it didnt. So, I am at a loss. Please help.

    Okay...got mine working...here is what i did....uninstalled and reinstalled both Itunes and quicktime on my computer. Still wouldnt work, still locked up my computer. I found another computer that had an older version of itunes on it...connected my ipod to it, and it finally restored my ipod settings. Took it home to connect it to mine, and it worked. Hope this helps anyone else out...Especially since this seems to be a reoccurring problem that Apple isnt taking care of. good luck

  • Ipod nano frozen and battery sign doesnt show

    when i plug my ipod nano it goes to the do not disconect screen and usually at the top corner the battery has like a thunder sign in it but now it just shows the the amount of battery it has. the ipod is also frozen when i plug it in to charge as i cant switch it from hold. Also itunes doesnt pick it up.The only way i can disconect is to pull the plug out and after that reset by holding the center and MENU. and it is the ipod nano first generation
    HELP. PLEASE

    To clarify it only crashed my computer once, but did seem to actually prevent itunes from starting.

  • I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

    However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • IPod Nano frozen in "on" state

    My 4GB iPod Nano is stuck "on" right now. The LCD backlight is on, and it's stuck on a frozen screen of a song in mid-play. None of the buttons respond, and plugging it into the USB port doesn't work either.
    The "toggle hold switch and press & hold menu/play for 10 seconds" trick doesn't work to reset it (it doesn't respond at all).
    This happened when I plugged it into my PC this morning. It was off previously, and before that I had been using it normally with my headphones.
    I don't know how to reset it, and I'm starting to be concerned about burn-in on the screen since it's the same image frozen in place, and the backlight is on (which is why letting it drain down the battery is something I'd rather not do).
    Any suggestions?

    "I as I stated in my original post, I have tried that, probably a dozen or more times, and it has done nothing"
    er... no you didn't.
    Anyway... you may just want to let the battery die & then re-charge it. This will force it to reset.
    Cheers!

    EDIT;
    sorry... you did say you had tried the reset - I thought I was responding to nanoohno here. My apologies. I still recommend draining the battery though. Also check that you're resetting correctly. It's MENU and SELECT, (not menu & play). Good luck.

  • I have a ipod touch 1 i cant download anything

    i cant download anything on my ipod 1 all i can do is watch videos i also cant hear only with head phones

    For sound problem:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • Ipod Nano frozen - reset not working!

    I plugged my Ipod Nano 3rd Gen into my laptop to put music on. It wasn't connecting and then my itunes froze. I closed itunes and unplugged my ipod. It's now frozen too. The backing light is on and it has the last song I played up. I have tried to switch it off, also tried the reset instructions on the itunes website but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions?!?!

    Same thing happened to my Nano. I bought a reburbished Nano from Apple, a couple months later it died, and felt very hot. I sent it to Apple and they said liquid had spilled on it and was "abused." Since that did NOT happen, I assume Apple sold me a defective refurb (in other words, didn't actually refurbish the item as claimed) or flat out lied so they didn't have to fix my defective Apple product.
    Either way, it gives new meaning to "eating an apple." In this case, I'm eating a $100 apple. Lesson learned. Do not buy Apple reburbs. (Darn, I love those deals!)
