Frozen, can't un-freeze it.

I recently purchased an iPod Nano, 3rd Gen. a couple of days ago.
It's been freezing constantly and in fact, it's frozen right now.
I've tried the 5 Rs and they don't work.
When I plug it in to my computer, it doesn't show up on iTunes.
As if it doesn't exist at all.
When I tried the 5 Rs, I couldn't do any of them.
Especially the one where you toggle the Hold switch on and off whilst holding the Menu and Select buttons.
The Hold switch is too small to toggle!
Any help? Advice?
Much appreciated,
Kirbs

I just got mine a few days ago too...downloaded a few songs, now itunes doesn't even recognize i have an ipod and when I plug it in, the entire page freezes too.
This whole forum isn't very helpful to the "beginners". If I find something out I'll let you know. Sorry.

    Hi shieldmb,
    If you are having issues with your iPad's Mail application becoming unresponsive, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPad -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

    Hello, anr779h.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • TS3899 Email frozen , can't go up or down, or open next email

    Email frozen , can't scale up or down, or open next email

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ..... Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    tried to run ios5 upgrade, get unkown error 0xE8000065 and now ipad does not work at all and is frozen can not even switch off

    Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

    my ipad has a red screen, is totally frozen, & can't switch off

    have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go of the buttons and see if it'll reboot.

  • My Iphone 4 will switch on but will not respond as screen frozen (can't slide to switch on or answer calls) I have tried holding for 15 secs to reboot but same problem???

    My iphone 4 will switch on and charge, but a lot of the time the screen is frozen (can't slide to switch on or answer calls) I have tried holding for 15secs to reboot but it doesn't clear the problem????

    When you say "holding" is it both the sleep switch and the home button until the Apple Logo comes up? If it isn't then I would recomend doing that. If not, turn the phone off and then (while holding the home button) plug it in to iTunes, this will send the phone into recovery mode and will need to be restored from there. Note* this process does have the possibility of losing data if it is not backed up on the computer!!!

  • My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. it says that tI need to have teh ipad plugged in, l,, lockerd and connected to wifi but I caocked and connected to wifi. I cannot connect to wifi because the ipad is frozen. How can I un freeze it?

    My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. It says that I need to have it plugged in to wifi. I can't connect to wifi because it's frozen. What should I do?

    If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Zen Micro problem player frozen, can connect to pc, what to d

    hello community,
    My 6 month old zen micro has frozen after a small drop. I have read of this product freezing at the creative labs screen but mine freezes once it has turned on completely (i see the song/artist/album of the last song i was playing). Here, the touchpad does not work and i cannot turn it off without removing the battery, although i can turn it on normally. Also the glow around hte player doesnt work but the main LCD works.
    When i try to access the emergency menu or whatever wit hall of the options (clean up/format etc) I cannot do anything since the touchpad is unresponsi've. I can, however, charge it with my computer and sync files that way.
    So my question is: How can I revi've my Zen Micro using a connection with my computer, being able to transfer stuff?

    Right... I havent tried anything insane i've smacked it around and dropped it again but nothing huge or drastic yet... so i guess it is an internal mechanical problem that cant be fixed with a new firmware or rolling back my current firmware?

  • Can Time Machine freeze the system?

    Hello,
    Twice in the last month or so, Time Machine has apparently frozen my iMac while trying to find my external USB drive. Both times, all applications and the finder froze, although I could still maneuver the mouse (could not click on anything). Force Quit would not work and worse, powering off and powering on would not force a reboot -- the same frozen screen would reappear.
    After a lot of investigation the first time, I realized that the Time Machine menu button had stuck in place and my external LaCie drive was not responding. I also found that when I tried Force Quit, I saw a process listed -- backupd-helper -- for a short period of time that helped point me to a Time Machine issue. Both times, the only solution was to turn off the external drive.
    Normally, Time Machine works great with this drive. I leave it on and it does its thing every hour. I think the drive is formatted correctly (GUID), with only one partition, and it checks out ok with drive utility, so I'm not sure the drive is the issue.
    Perhaps someone here has experienced the same kind of odd behavior? Or could point me to a log file to review for possible evidence of what's going on? It seems like the drive mounts most of the time as required, but for some reason has failed to on these two occasions.
    Thanks for any help!

    Folks;
    I am new to this board but I have experienced a similar problem and thought I would pass along what I THINK has solved the problem.
    I purchased a new 27" imac about three weeks ago.  At the same time I also purchased a "g drive mini" (500mg) that I used as a back drive to use with Time Machine.  Over those three weeks my imac froze about  6 times and this seemed to happen during Time Machine back ups.  I would get a message about "calculating changes" and the machine would freeze at that point for many hours (often during overnight hours) - forcing a hard shut down of the imac. 
    After researching the internet for a solution, one suggestion I found was to turn off "sleep mode" for the comouter and ALSO turn off "put hard disks to sleep when possible".  These can both be found in the Preferences section of your mac.
    I made these changes on Wednesday evening (6-1-2011) and the machine has backed up every hour since then (now 6-3-2011) with no problems.
    So, having said all of that, I think the turning off of the the two sleep modes has done the trick.
    Apparently,  when the computer and/or hard disks are asleep, Time Machine cannot always wake them up and do a back up to the external drive.  I plan to let the machine run through the weekend and see if I have any more problems - but so far - so good.
