Freezing ipod after updating

I have 2.0 now but when I openthe settings, the screen stays grey and the ipod freezes.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                        
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Screen scrambles and freezes ipod after update

    hey guys, im having some crazy problems with this ipod since the update...the screen kind of scrambles then freezes everything...is anyone else experienceing this and if so how did you fix it if you did at all...sorry if this is a repeat post but im really ****** about the whole thing...any suggestions would be most appreciated...thank you
    Josh

    I am having the same problem since August 2006. I tried everything everybody suggested, but to no avail. I then sent my 5G video iPod to Apple for repair. They sent it back stating "no trouble found". What a joke! If you go back to the previous version, you can't play music videos anymore, but scramble and freeze problem go away.
    No point in talking to Apple tech support. They'll not understand or recognize the problem; they'll just waste your time. I hope some smart guy in this forum will eventually figure out a solution.

  • Itunes not recognizing 7th gen iPod after updating to windows 8.1 and latest itunes, works on other computers

    So I updated my computer to 8.1 I don't know if I synced my ipod after that, but I know immediately after updating iTunes, I began to receive an error message saying iTunes recognizes that I connected an iPod, but can't identify properly.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as restarting the computer, trying different USB ports. it works when I connect it to other computers.

    Hi HIJKay,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can take if iTunes isn't correctly recognizing your iPod:

  • Podcasts fail to show on iPod after updating to iTunes 10.1.0.56

    Hi,
    I'm using a 5th gen iPod classic. When I updated iTunes to version 10.1.0.56, all the podcasts I downloaded from iTunes after the update failed to show up on my iPod after synching. I've downloaded podcasts before and had them show up on my iPod. Is there a different procedure I don't know about?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello msapostol,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You may want to double check your iPod's Sync settings for podcasts from under your iPod's Podcasts tab in iTunes while it is connected.
    Updates to iTunes or your iPod has known to reconfigure certain settings.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • Why does my keyboard and mouse freeze intermittently after updating to 10.8.2?

    After updating to 10.8.2 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro, whenever I pause for more than a few seconds using either the keyboard or the mouse, the pointer freezes. It takes a few seconds of dragging my finger across the keypad or hitting a number of keys before it begins to respond again.
    It doesn't appear that any background process is frozen or that the whole system is frozen because video still plays through without stuttering, and downloads continue updating the progress bar as the freeze occurs.
    The same thing has happened since my wife updated her Macbook Air. Very frustrating.
    Suggestions on a workaround or solution?
    Thanks.

    Have subsequently tried doing a re-install with the combo updater, repaired permissions, reset SMC and PRAM. No luck. When booting into safe mode, works fine but cursor is 'jittery' and the screen is erratic (like an old tv with rabbit ears antenna.)
    Any thoughts or help would be significantly appreciated.

  • PC won't recognise ipod after updating iTunes

    I have just updated iTunes to the latest version for Windows, and spent some time getting it to work again - I had to reinstall Quicktime (version 7) before iTunes would open. The new version would not recognise my iPod, so I downloaded the latest iPod updater 2005 11 17 and ran that.
    The dialogue box asks me to "plug in the iPod to update it", but when I do it just sits there. The iPod remains in "do not disconnect" mode, nothing happens for a while and then the entire system crashes to a blue screen that explains that Windows has shut down...
    The iPod is about 2 years old and one of the 40GB models with a plain wheel and the four buttons across the top.
    Can any kind person give me a pointer what to do next?
    Thanks

    Could it be due to the recent iTunes update as I've just updated it and since then my iPod hasn't been working? :S

  • Frozen 5G iPod after updating

    After purchasing an album from iTunes, I was advised to update to iTunes 7.0, and subsequently to a newer iPod software. On completion, my iPod 'froze'. Every time I reset it, it behaves normally for approximately 20 seconds then freezes again. I've restored the original settings, have drained the battery and completely recharged, but nothing else seems to work. Appreciate any advice!!!

    Sure -- here you go:
    iTunes 6: http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?1249
    Firmware 1.1.2: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060628forwindows.html
    The only way to get back to the old firmware is by first downgrading to iTunes 6.

  • My MacBook Air freezes momentarily after update to 10.8.2

    My Trackpad/keyboard pointer freezes after I updated my MacBook Air 11 "2010, model A1370 to OS X 10.8.2.
    With a few minutes intervals the pointer freezes for approx. 5 seconds - quite annoying.
    Is there a solution to this problem - I have noticed a lot of other users with the same problem.

    This appears to be a usb issue. I've noticed that the trackpad/keyboards stops for a few seconds everytime a usb device is plugged/unplugged. 

  • No longer safe to remove iPod after updating (synching)

    I'm using iTunes 7 on XP Pro. AMD Athlon 64. 4G 60-gig iPod (color).
    "Enable Disk Use" is NOT checked, but my iPod now shows up as a Removable Disk in XP. And after synching, iTunes says "iPod update is complete" but no longer tells me it's safe to remove my iPod.
    Yes, I can manually eject the iPod, but that's a bit of a pain. I'd rather just grab it and go. Any ideas?
    (Please don't tell me, here in the WINDOWS forum, that buying a Mac will solve all my problems. Another answer like that will send me into the nearest clock tower.)

    Well, I believe you should keep it because you may need it later.
    Try to delete other files on your computer, or backup some of the data to CD-R, DVDR or external hard drive and then remove them.

  • Cannot sync iPod after updating to 10.4.1 for windows. Help?

    I recently updated to iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows 7 on my PC and now I can no longer sync my iPod. Once it starts syncing music, I get an error message that says "iTunes Has Stopped Working" and it does not give me any kind of resolution to the problem. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software from my computer but I'm still running into the same issues after I've reinstalled everything. Does anyone know why this might be happening and how I can resolve the issue? I've researched the issue and it seems like a lot of people are running into this and I haven't found any kind of universal fix yet.
    Thanks

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and it syncs fine now so if anyone else is having the problem, that's the only solution I've found out there.
    PS - Posting on these forums appears to be pretty useless!

  • Why can't I sync my ipod after update

    After doing the latest update, my ipod, iPad and iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes. None of the devices I have are connecting or showing in connected devices box, it is all greyed out. I have run the device test on iTunes but it says there is an error and it cannot find any connected devices. Please help, this update has driven me crazy as my iTunes and my devices always connected with no problems.

    What did the error message say?
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    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 won't recognize iPod after update

    I got a 40G color photo ipod froma friend and had it restored, plugged it in, added my music, unplugged it, and used it just fine. I went to plug it back in to add a few more things and it was not recognized by iTunes. The autoplay window came up and then the iPod installer said I had to restore the iPod- which I did. Then I reinstalled my music, unplugged it, and it worked fine. Then I plugged it back in and the same thing happened. I went to the apple store and they restored it again and ran diagnostics on it. It seems to be just fine. I got it home. plugged it back in to my laptop, added my music, and it worked fine. Then I unplugged it and it messed up again.
    You can see the frustrating cycle that I find myself in. Here are the things that I have noticed:
    When I stop the update partway through, disconnect and then reconnect, it seems to be fine. Once the update is finished and the iPod is disconnected and reconnected, it seems to never work properly.
    Also, it seems that when it is working properly, when I open the safely remove hardware window, the iPod is recognized as an iPod. It reads:
    USB mass storage device
    Apple iPod USB device
    When it is not being recognized, I open the safely remove hardware window, and it says:
    USB mass storage device
    Generic volume - (E:)
    Apple iPod USB device
    Could this be the problem?
    iPod 40G color photo   Windows XP Pro  

    B- I plugged in my iPod again this morning and got the same autoplay window- and no recognition. I went in to change the drive letter of the iPod following the instructions on the link you gave me. When I pull up the disk management window, I see 2 disks listed: (C:) and (E:), but it does not say IPOD like the picture does on the help page. Should I change the drive letter anyway? Does this mean that it's not recognized as an iPod? Thanks for your help...
    Also, about 3-5 minutes after the autoplay window comes up, I get an "iPod not readable" message that instructs me to open the iPod updater to restore my iPod- which I've done 5 times already.

  • Cannot eject Ipod after updating to 5.0

    I've never had trouble with ejecting until just updating to 5.0. I get the message, "the Ipod 'ipod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." Now the new music on my desktop won't go to the Ipod. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    My problems on an iMac G5 running Tiger started 9/21 when I upgraded to iTunes 5.0.1. (Prior to that there were problems mounting the iPod if I waited too long after turning on the computer, iTunes 5.0).
    On 9/21 iPod mounted but would not sync nor eject. Strangely, on 9/22 iPod synchronized and ejected; but on 9/26 it would not sync even though iTunes said it had. And then it would not eject, giving error messages to the effect that the iPod or its files were in use by antoher application.
    9/27 I plugged the iPod into a Powerbook running Panther... no mounting problems... no ejection problems.
    The iPod is third generation with version 2.3 software... connected by firewire.
    I need help also... I am concluding that the problem lies in either the computer, Tiger or iTunes. But how to fix?
