Classic 20GB frozen, cannot reset, any ideas

My classic 20GB ipod suddenly froze. The screen shows "DO NOT DISCONNECT", and it disappeared from the I-tunes page. So I disconnected and tried to reset, will not reset. Any ideas?

What starts a software security update?

Did you try restore from teh AppleTV menu connecetd to TV.
If so sounds as though something went wrong.
Hook up to a computer using a micro USB cable alone, run iTunes and select the AppleTV to restore:

Hello laurijreimer
If you are having issues with your iPod, try restarting it by holding the menu and the center button until the Apple Logo comes up. Check out the article below for more info.

Camera on 5s is frozen even after reset any ideas? Thx

My camera is frozen on my iPhone 5s even after resetting...any ideas? Thx

That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.

Restart your computer to un-freeze iTunes there.
Restart your iPad by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for 10 seconds.
Plug in again, and restore to last backup if necessary.

IPod Classic 160gb frozen on reset screen.

I have tried nearly everything. The iPod has been stuck on the Apple logo screen, and will not change, no matter what I do. I have tried forcing it to disk move, resetting it several times, and plugging it into power sources. However, it never differs from the constant apple logo screen. Any ideas? Any way to help? Thanks for your consideration.

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
By resetting the iPod, do you mean toggling the hold switch on and off a few times, and then press and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo reappears? If not, keep trying.
Also, keep re-attempting to force it into disk mode. If no luck though, your only option is to wait for the iPod's battery to drain. From there, hook it up, let it charge long enough to be recognized by your computer, and see if that helps iTunes recognize it. If it does, I would definitely recommend restoring it via iTunes.
Hope this helps.

If you are getting emails from these forums then you probably accidentally clicked on one of the links on the forums page where all the questions are listed e.g. at the top right of each forum's page there is text box with Actions and Notifications in :
So far you've posted in the iTunes Store forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store#/
And the Using iPad forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad#/
If on either of those forums that box says 'stop email notifications' instead of 'receive' then click on it and it should stop that forum sending emails to you.
There are full instructions on this page for stopping emails, as there are other places where they might have been set 'on' : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3661

HT1766 Please help. My ipad has locked up with Blue "icloud Backup" box permanently on display. Unable to reset. any ideas?

The blue icloud backup notification box has "frozen" my iPad screen. I am unable to clear it. I am currently trying to run down the battery 0% to see if it will automatically reset this way. Are there any other ideas?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

15454 TCC2P cards resetting - any ideas?

In a CISCO 15454 ONS we recently had several resets of the TCC2P cards, more than once a day.
The alarm description said "automatic system reset" and the TCC2P cards would change protection. We have some ethernet on a ETH-100 in the shelf which sees a brief hit. The 15454 is running version 7.23. Part number 800-24766-02, HW Rev A1, Bootrom Rev 57-5444-04
Could this be power related? Another 15454 in the same location also had a TCC2P reset, but not at the same time and only one switch
We have lots of 15454's and 15327's and see a few resets, usually never more than once a month at the same site. Some sites are worse than others. Anyone know what causes these resets?
Any advice would be appreciated

Ray,
Well, there is no way to check memory usage. The TCC will let you know when it is low with the MEM-LOW and gone (followed by an auto-reset) with MEM-GONE. If you are not seeing either of these alarms then it is something else.
One thought was an issue where noise on the data bus from the Fan Tray would cause the TCC to auto-reset occasionally. Take a look at FN 62545 and see if the Fan Tray you have fits the list their. Here's a link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62545.html
Or you can log into www.cisco.com and search for FN 62545 to find it.

Brand new iPad 3 needing setup email reset, any ideas?

My Dad just bought an iPad 3 and during setup he entered his old email address for his iTunes account - but it sent the verification email there and he no longer has access to that account. Any suggestions how to have it resent once we update the Apple account to a valid email address?

I think something is wrong with your iPad. You either let it run dead and turn it on, or more quicker take it to the Apple retail store or Genius Bar.

Ipod has frozen, cannot reset

Hello all,
First time post = first time problem.
I was listening to my ipod when it froze. Thats happened a few times, but I couldn't reset it. Which has never happened. I connected it to the USB port and into my computer but neither the ipod nor my PC has realised that they are connected. Is there anything I can do? Or should I just wait till it runs out of battery and then play it?
Regards, and much thanks in advance.

If resetting doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

My 160gb classic screen is frozen..Any ideas how to reboot??

alan,
Try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may take one or two tries.
Otherwise, it might be necessary to let the iPod's battery fully drain.
