Classic ipod locked and frozen

i plugged my ipod to synch, it got frozen and locked. my mac does not recognize it and i cant not use it at all. what can i do?

If you have tried the 5 R's already then it's a dead unit and your basically screwed.
Try resetting,by toggling the hold switch then hold down the menu and select keys together for about 10 seconds. If the logo does not appear then it's dead and will have to be replaced.

Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

Hey 1966Gt6,
I found an article that goes over what to do if you've forgotten or can't remember your passcode. Check it out here:

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Maybe:

Next:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You just need to reset the ipod by holding down the sleep button and home button for ipod touch or the menu and centre button on others for about 10 seconds

Ipod Touch (3rd gen) Locked and Frozen

This morning (12/30) I clicked a link in an email from a trusted source. (The link was safe; I tried it from my computer.) The search icon began turning, then the screen went to the locked home screen (battery icon in the middle, "slide to unlock" below). The time and date on the screen also changed to 11/28. Everything is frozen: I cannot unlock the screen or even turn the Ipod off. Any suggestions?

- Have you tried reseting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try connecting it to your computer and restoring it.
- If iTunes will not see it, put it in recovery mode and try again. For recovery mode:

Safari and ICloud locked and frozen

Safari has stopped working on my I-Pad mini. It just sows a grey screen and is completely non functional.
If I open Settings and select Safari. Settings locks and becomes frozen also.
I have to double tap the main button to close both Safari and Settings apps. Safari always displays the same page at this point.
I have tried to disconnect Safari from ICloud but this only produces the busysybol which will run for hours if you let it.
I have even tried to delete the ICloud account from the device but get the same busy symbol and no response.
I have tried various permutations of button pressing to restart but I still have the same problem at next start up.
My mail on this device appears to have stopped working at about the same point at the safari problems started.
Does anyone have any clues where or how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Try #2 and #3.
1. Reset
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo

Ipod locked and unable to unlock

i have been having some problems w/ my ipods hard drive. i think i was able to fix the problem but a new one arrived. my ipod is locked and i am unable to unlock it. everything else appears fine but i just can't unlock it. i plugged it into my computer and it synced w/ itunes just fine. so i tried to reset it and toggle the hold button. i tried to reset it w/ the select and menu button. i tried to restore it but that didnt' work either. i was just wondering if there was a way to unlock it through itunes or if there is anything else that i might be able to do to unlock it.
thanks

Hi. From what I've learned, you have to restore it, which will erase the hard drive so you better have everything backed up if you want it back. I'm still doing that...have yet to attempt the magical "restore"...if that even works. Did you know that if your warranty is expired, they can charge you $30 bucks to help you...over the phone! Stupid update! Good luck.

Frozen iPod classic with lock and battery images on the screen

When I unlocked my iPod classic while listening to music, everything stopped, and i got an image on the screen of the time when this happened (6:30), a lock image below it on the left, and a black horizontal battery on the right. The iPod won't work now, whether locked/unlocked or whether connected/unconnected to my PC/iTunes. What, if anything is the fix?

Have you tried just a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is toggled to the off position, then press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My iPod Touch is locked and frozen. Can anyone help me? :(

So I have an 8gb iPod Touch 1 generation. My ipod touch has a frozen screen and all it shows is the iTunes logo with the small white arrow and usb cord. I also think it is locked, plus I forgot my password . Anyways I connected my ipod touch to my pc (window xp) and itunes says that "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a password. You must enter your password on the ipod before it can be used with itunes". The reason i connected it was to see if i can restore it but i guess it didnt work. Oh and one other thing my home button is not working, I guess its stuck.

to put it in dfu mode power off the power off the device by any means necessary. Once turned off, you should first press and hold the Home Button. Then, while holding the home button, connect the dock conector to the device and keep holding the home button untill an iTunes message appears that says "iTunes has detected an device in recovery mode."
With DFU mode, the steps are the same except, you would also hold the sleep wake button and the home button before connecting the device to the computer. Then connect the cable to the device and let go of only the sleep/wake button at the top of the device.
This method differs depending on the device and the person you talk to, but for me, this works when needed if the above steps are followed.

IPod locked and USB not recognised?

Someone please help!! I've been stuck with this problem for the last three days. Basically, what has happened is:
I changed my passcode for my iPod 5 the other day, then had to turn my iPod off as I was in school, I get to my iPod
at lunch and completely forget the passcode I changed it to. So now I'm locked out. This has happened before so
I knew what to do but this time, whenever I plug the USB into my laptop a little message just pops up saying
''USB not recognised''. I've tried absolutely everything to get this USB to work, I've even used different USBs
but barely any of them work or nothing comes up at all, like the laptop doesnt even know it's plugged in.
Is there any way I can restart my iPod without connecting it to iTunes or..? Does anyone know how to sort out
the USB? Sorry if this was a stupid question, I'm not very good at this sort of stuff.
Thanks anyway,
Kate x

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Also, as necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:
iPod not recognised by windows iTunes
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
Further:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
