BIG PROBLEM: Ipod freezing and I've tried a lot of stuff

90% of the time when I play a song, the Ipod will freeze, staying at 0:00 (it will play music sometimes). If it plays music the miusic will stop after 10 sec and it will freeze for another 15 sec. If music doesn't play right away, it will unfreeze and play music after about 30 sec, or it will just go to the next song and repaet its cycle until I reset the Ipod. It also tends to heat up while freezing.
The Ipod will also not be recognized in Itunes or the Ipod updater, while it is recognized in My Computer, although when I try to format it through My Computer, upon clicking the F: drive, My Computer freezes. So, I can't even touch the Ipod on the computer to restore.
I have tried reseting, and it does nothing. I ran a hardive scan once and it just went to the main menu after 5 minutes, then I did it again and after the 30 minutes for the test it said it was fine.
And finally, my 1 year warranty expires in one week, so I need to act fast. Thank you very much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anybody please help me. Apple rejected my repair and sent my iPod back saying "it had a ding in it" even though it was fine besides a few scratches.

How did you uninstall it and what were your IPOD issues - that may help clarify the problem.

IPod freezing and not all songs play

My ipod freezes and cannot unfreeze until battery goes low. How do I get this problem fixed? Also, after I download a song and transfer it to my ipod, the ipod doesn't always play the song. It may play a few seconds, but that's it. I try to redownload the song and the ipod still won't play it. Need help with this thing!!

I would highly suggest "Restoring" your IPOD using the IPODs Updater software. Read here:

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If this does not work, then you will have to erase and reinstall Mountain Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on

Ipod Freezes and scrambles PLEASE HELP

hey guys, i have a 30GB ipod video...when i recently updated to version 7 of itunes i started getting this problem where ill start doing something like listening to music or watching a video and the screen freezes and scrambles a bit...it also happens when i try to restore...i know how to reset and have successfully restored, reformatted and reinstalled everything on my ipod numerous times...it freezes so frequently that my patience are just about up trying to figure out what is wrong, i've been on many forums and no one seems to know how to fix it nor has anyone said they've had the same problem...can anyone help in any way...it would be much appreciated believe me...thank you so much
Josh
oh and im running a PC with windows XP fully updated and fairly new.

If you bough the extended warranty, it should still be covered (otherwise, probably not).
You can try taking it in to Apple, they'll fix it for free if it's under warranty.
If they want you to pay, it's your call, but I'd probably just get a new one (they're pretty cheap these days).
You could also try waiting a few days, sometimes it just warms up or whatever, and will work if you wait enough.
As a VERY last resort, a friend told me that Apple suggested just banging it on a table a few times.
Don't hold me to this, and don't do it unless you'd lose your iPod anyway. Don't blame me if it makes it worse, I warned you.
Good luck!

IPOD FREEZING AND SKIPPING SONGS

hi,
i've had my ipod for about 6 years or so. just recently it's start to freeze and slow up on me. if i'm listening to songs and press the next song. it takes ages for the next song to come on or else it freezes. Also during some songs it skips on me as if part of the song is missing.
what to do? any help would be much appreciated

I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

HT1386 I'm reloading my music library onto my 5th gen.iPod nano and everytime it tries to sync a song (uncorrupted) it will take 2 hours to sync it 90% then it will stay there and not make any progress. How to fix?

This has been going on for three days. I had to restore my iPod because the artwork was scrambling around (anyone know how to fix that too?) and when I tried to reload all my music onto my iPod, it would load on a few songs, but then it would stop on "I Wouldn't Mind" by He is We, which I got off mediafire and never gave me problems before. I unchecked the song when I tried to resync my iPod, and sure enough it just switched over to another song (this one being from a CD) so I don't think it's a file problem, but an iPod problem. I've tried different cables, different USB ports, restarted my computer, uninstalled/reinstalled the latest versions of iTunes, even cleaned the lint from out of my iPod's docking slit. I am using a Dell Inspiron which I got in October, and this is my first time restoring the iPod since transfering my library over from my old computer.
Is there something I can do myself to fix these problems and have my iPod sync normally again??

as to rockmyplimsoul's post.
- unfortunately i don't really remember how i transfered songs to my MB anymore... it was several days ago and i didn't try fixing it until yesterday... after which point i've been through several bouts of struggling against smashing my MB/iPhone, pulling my hair, and punching my counter top several times until finally my girlfriend decided to go home and i quickly set about self medicating with alcohol - probably sounds funny, but true. i'm sober now though! ;p i think when i first went to sync my phone for the first time after resetting my MB, a message came up saying that i had songs on my phone that needed to be transferred to my MB or i would risk losing them during the sync session, so i clicked 'transfer'.
- i have a LOT of non-iTunes content.
- i have over 11,000 items in my itunes library (some of these appear to be sound effects that appeared in my library after i reset my computer - presumably stuff from garage band), and currently have 80 songs on my phone.
- my 'other' category is .86 GB
- i back up to iCloud
- i do use iCloud for other media storage. mostly just reports for work.

Ipod freezing and not being able to mount

My ipod started to freeze, and won't play tracks the majority of the time. When I reset I got the exclamation mark over a folder, so tried to use ipod updater to restore as per instructions on apple web site. However updater gives the message 'can't mount ipod' even when it is in disk mode. At the same time I get this message I get my computer telling me that it has found new hardware and I should put my cd I got with my hardware to progress. I am loathe to do this as I am concerned it may wipe my music library off itunes. Can anyone help explain to me what is wrong with my ipod and what I can/should do to fix it. Thanks.

Try running chkdsk with the /R parameter on the drive letter windows has allocated to the iPod (e.g. chkdsk I: /R, where I is the letter windows has allocated to your iPod)and then attempt a restore.
