Video Ipod frozen

I have had my video ipod for about a month now and i just bought some software to convert dvds to ipod format. It worked, but when i was watching the dvd, my ipod froze. I clicked menu and put it to sleep. I then turned it back on and clicked on now playing. When i did, It went to a black screen with the backlight on. I have tried reseting it and hooking it up to my computer, but nothing has worked. I need some ideas.

If the normal reset doesn't work, there isn't anything left to try...... except this one thing. Yesterday, there was a thread. About ten people in this thread had the same problem as you and nothing worked. A guy came on, posted this reset method and everyone was jumping for joy. I'd never heard of it before, so if you try it, PLEASE POST BACK AND LET US KNOW IF IT WORKS...
1. switch hold on and off and reset the pod normaly.
2. If the Pod reboots push Center and Play until the Pod turn off
3. Flick the hold-switch on and off slowly (one on and off per second or slower) until the Pod restarts with the normal black screen with the apple. If the iPod is not reborn after 10 switches wait a little an restart the procedure at 1.

  • Video iPod frozen after static electricity charge

    Was playing a movie on video iPod connected to TV when I touched the iPod and got a small static shock....the TV screen went white and the iPod is now frozen. Does not respond to connection to iTunes or AC charger; buttons do not work either. Plugged the cables back into iPod but to no avail.
    Am I out of luck? I do have the Apple Protection plan. Any suggestions at this point?
    thanks!

    I had virtually the same thing happen to me tonight. I was sorting laundry with my iPod on. I pulled a sheet out of the laundry basket, heard a few crackles in my earbuds and the music stopped. Pulled the iPod out and -- blank white screen. iTunes recognizes the iPod, but the update didn't help, and resetting hasn't helped, either. What did you end up doing?

  • Ipod video is frozen

    my 60gb video ipod is frozen. it was playing fine and all of a sudden it stopped playing music. I looked at the screen and the "lock" icon is on, but it isn't locked at the top. I tried toggling the lock back and forth and nothing happened.
    I also tried holding the play button. nothing happened.
    i also tried removing the headphones too.
    my ipod was fully charged at the time of occurance.

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

  • FROZEN 60 GIG Video iPod

    I have a brand new 60 GIG Video iPod. The iPod froze during the import of new music and video files. The display has the "Do not disconnect" icon and label shown in the display. Attempting to reset the iPod using the instructions from Apple's support site for iPod issues - the five R's, the iPod will not respond to any of the options provided. Is there another solution to reset the iPod or is this one just destined to be replaced under warranty?

    Repeated attempts at following Apple's technical support documentation of the "five R's". Interestingly the sequence did not work initially, but recovered after several attempts.

It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

  • Video iPod has now crashed twice

    I've been using my video iPod for just under two weeks now, and it has frozen on me twice. The first time, it froze when I docked it with iTunes, and today it froze when I went to start a video. In the first instance, I couldn't do anything with it until the battery ran out and it shut itself off. Right now, I am waiting for the same thing as the screen just shows a tiny strip of the video clip.
    One more thing... often I cannot shut off my iPod after having watched a video. I have to play a song first before I can shut the machine off.
    Have other people experienced these problems with their video ipods? My mini has never been this much trouble.

    Reset your iPod when it gets stuck by pressing Menu and Center until the Apple logo appears.
    Yes, others and I have the problem of the iPod not going to sleep after watching a video. It's a bug Apple will fix sometime next year or the year after.

  • Video iPod Nano doesn't work when plugged in anymore

    As of recently, whenever I plug my Video iPod Nano into my Hi-Fi the screen locks up. The music still plays through the Hi-Fi, and I can control the volume via the unit however the screen completely is frozen, and unresponsive to any movement on the clicker. It worked fine before, and this now a recent happening, and I have a feeling the latest update to the iPod Nano knocked it out.

    I'm not not sure why this question is flagged as "answered".
    I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior. If my nano (3G) is put into my HiFi while in play mode, it will continue playing through the HiFi, but the nano screen will freeze and its controls will become unresponsive. Only the HiFi volume can be controlled via the HiFi top buttons. Ditto for the remote - only the volume controls function (although the HiFi green LED responds to all remote commands as normal).
    If the nano is inserted into the HiFi in menu mode, it just remains unresponsive. When taken out of the HiFi dock, it will invariably remain unresponsive for 30-40 seconds, then suddenly light up and return to normal.
    In fact, my nano (3G) has always acted this annoying way with our HiFi - which continues to work flawlessly (extra menues and all) with the sundry older iPod models that we own.
    Yes, I have tried resetting and restoring the nano (now at firmware version 1.1) and the HiFi no avail.
    I'm curious to learn whether anyone has actually gotten a nano (3G) to work properly with a HiFi.
    P.S. Great product the HiFi - can't for the good of me figure out why Apple discontinued it... It's truly adding insult to injury if this thing of beauty no longer works properly with the newer iPods.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

    Here's my situation exactly:
    I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
    Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
    Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports
    HP Pavilion   Windows XP  

    I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!

  • New Video iPod will not connect

    I have a new video ipod that will connect on one computer but not the one I want to use. I have reloaded itunes several times and checked firewall. When I plug the ipod in the computer makes three dings. Is this an error code of some type? It will not show up in diagnostics and after trying it shuts down internet connection until computer is re-booted. It connects fine on the other computer. Has anyone got any answers? I have tried different plugs and it shows to charge just will not connect.

    You want to check and see if the other computer has usb 2.0 first.
    If it does try to reset the ipod while it is plugged into the computer. Reset is the menu and the center button on the ipod. Also make sure the hold switch is all white.
    Also you want to make you that you try different usb ports.
    If that doesn't work use msconfig type that into the search here on the support page let me know if this works.

  • My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

    Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
    I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
    All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
    HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
    I have already tried the following...
    1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
    2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
    I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
    If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
    Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
    Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.
    Andy

    There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work.  I've looked up Music PadPro.  I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old.  Here are the requirements:
    Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
    Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
    Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor.  After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X.  This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines.  The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors.  It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS.  They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications.  Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up.  You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.
