FRUSTRATED!!! iPod w/ video locks up

Can someone please help me. I updted the software for my iPod and now when I play songs the screen looks scrambled and I can't do anything except reset it. I am thinking there may have been a bug or something in the update. Should I restore iPod to the original settings?

For those really stuck, try reverting to the previous firmware 1.1.1 version (for those of you that got the CD with your ipod) if you still have the download somewhere.
Seems Apple have removed the download, and in light of all the problems here, I would suggest maybe making 1.1.1 available again until the issues of 1.2 are resolved.

IPod Video locking up

OK, I have had this iPod for a little over a year. Now when I try to get it to go to sleep (I customized the main menu so that Sleep is on the bottom) it locks up and will not respond until I toggle the Hold switch. This isn't a huge issue, but when I want it off quickly, it is a bit of an annoyance. I was just curious as to a solution.
If this helps, it is synced with 3 Macs and it has been dropped once on carpet.

I had the same trouble with the ipod freezing up, then restarting on its own, then all my music was gone and none of the apps would run. I am currently syncing the ipod touch back with the pc to restore the music. I removed the app I was using when this happened (FlyTunes).
I have the 2.0.1 firmware installed and will let you know what happens.

Does the Ipod play Video?

I am trying to play mpeg 4 video on my ipod and it locks up after 4 to 5 minutes. The video plays perfect under itunes but is fails on the Ipod. I can lock it up very quickly by fast forwarding into the video. The drive will spin as if it is lost. Most podcast work ok but not all of them. I have restored the Ipod and got no improvement. All of my SW has been reinstalled. Maybe I need some new "R"s:
Return to place of purchase
Request refund
Regret purchase
Do I sound frustrated? Any help out there?

I had that same problem and I had to contact the support team at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
they can guide through fixing your problems or you can request a replacement

How can you reset an ipod if the lock button is broken?

how can i reset my ipod if the lock button is broken?

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
If you mean place in recovery mode then use on of these

Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

Hi all!
I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
Background:
For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
Now the problems start:
When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
(nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
Any ideas will be most welcome!
Thank you very much in advance.
Peter
P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

IPod (with video) freezes Windows XP - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Hi everyone,
I bought a 5g 30gig iPod with video a few days ago, and immediately ran into the "iPod freezes Windows when connected via USB 2.0" problem. I read through every possible post on this website, on iLounge, on Microsoft's forums, etc. There seems to be quite a substantial number of people running into this problem, because I've been seeing posts about this all over the place.
My specific problem was that whenever I plugged in my iPod, the iPod would display "do not disconnect" and iTunes would begin to recognize it - sometimes it would reach the point where it would begin to update - and then the computer would completely freeze. The iPod would "disconnect" and be completely usable, but the computer would not respond to anything what-so-ever. I had to perform a hard restart to get the computer usable again. No error messages, no "ctrl-alt-del" saves, nothing. It would also lock in the same exact way if I just plugged the iPod in without starting iTunes (iTunes wouldn't automatically start, computer would just lock up after a few moments).
Anyway, my problem was solved through a procedure I saw in a post somewhere (I'm pretty sure it was on these forums, actually). Basically, it seems as though there is some sort of conflict between iTunes, Quicktime, and Symantec's anti-virus.
The process is pretty simple - completely turn off whatever version of Symantec you're using (Norton AntiVirus, Firewall, whatever... I'm running Symantec Corporate AntiVirus 10). Then, uninstall Quicktime and iTunes (it might not be absolutely necessary to completely uninstall iTunes - I uninstalled Quicktime and then "repaired" the iTunes installation).
This seemed to resolve the situation entirely - I've updated my iPod three times now, and charged it, with no problems. Hopefully this continue to work... !
Incidentally, I think it's disgusting that this seems to be such a prevalent problem, yet Apple so far refuses to acknowlege its existence, much less provide a solution. As a long-time Windows/Microsoft user (notice I didn't say 'fan'), I expected much more from Apple.
Anyway, good luck!

Hi!
I have the same problem, though using iPod Touch.
My PC crashes just after charging sound on th iPod sounds.
I can be loggen on or not.
I have tried the 5R's two times
I have removed SP3, didn't help.
I have updated to iTunes 8.0.1: Didn't help.
But I have an portable PC (job PC) where it is working fine, both PC's using XP Pro, english version.
So, just now, I am very dissapointed bu the Apple products (and it took me 20 years of Software Engineering before i bought something from Apple ..... )
So the stress test will be: Will Apple do anything with this ?

If when you connect the iPod to your computer yu can't make a backup:
- Contact a data recovery company
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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: How to back up
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
Or maybe:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch is locked in expanded mode. It happens every time I do a itunes update. I've tried to soft reset then a hard reset. Neither has resolved the problem. The screen goes back to normal but expands and locks during sync. help

My ipod touch is locked in expanded mode. I can not get to the controls. It happens everytime I do an itunes update. I have tried a soft and a hard reset which fixes the problem but then during syncing the screen expands again and locks up. Help.

I purchased a movie, i selected it to sync, i watched itunes copy to my ipod, it shows up in itunes under "on this ipod", but does not appear on ipod under videos app.

to recap:
i purhased a movie (SD version of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone) through the itunes store.
in itunes, under my ipod, i checked next to movie to indicate that i wanted it to sync
in itunes, when i checked the movie, the amount of space for video grew, as expected
i sync'ed my ipod,
i watched the progress bar as itunes told me it was copying the movie
no errors were reported
in itunes, under the "On this iPod" the movie says it's there
in itunes
on my ipod, under video, i do not see the movie
when i search my ipod for "harry" nothing come up
kinda feeling like i just threw $9.99 in the trash.

What happens when you try to redownload it directly to your iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

my iPod touch 5 is disyllable and it wants me to connect to iTunes. i connect to iTunes but it says i have to accept the invitation from my iPod witch is locked so what do i do?

Hello there Patss213,
If your iPod Touch is telling you to connect to iTunes and when you do, you are prompted to Trust the computer but are unable to due to the device being disabled, you will need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it with this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Keep in mind this will delete all information on the iPod, and you will need to restore it from a backup:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes 11 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
