Help everyone..anyone!  My ipod is frozen and my computer does not detect.

Hi everyone I'm very disappointed to say that my ipod photo has been frozen for the past few days. First off, I accidentally disconnected it while plugged into the computer, and now my computer won't recognize the ipod at all. It says that "the device has malfunctioned" and to make matters worse, my ipod is frozen on the main screen. I tried charging it using my wall charger, but it didn't work. I tried pluging it in using usb but the usb doesnt recognize my ipod either. Somehow when my ipod is connected and i start Itunes..it doesn't work and it doesnt read my ipod photo.
So..Im stuck here and if I can't fix this I'm pretty much done for because I'd have to send it back to Apple.
Thanks guys.
Oh and I tried restoring the ipod too but everything says that my ipod isn't connected!

Have a look at these.

It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard?  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

    Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
    If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
    If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
    For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Some gotchas:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • My ipod has frozen and the wheel will not spin

    my ipod has frozen and i cannot get the wheel to spin

    Perhaps it would be a good idea to try a hard reset of the device.  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the issue still persists, you'll want to connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings allowing it to receive a fresh new copy of its software and rebuild all of its essential databases that could have become corrupt.  This will help rule out a software issue.

  • The screen with the plug pointed to itunes is frozen and my computer will not recognize the ipod

    The screen on my ipod touch has a pic with the plug pointed to the itunes logo and it is frozen.  The computer will not recognize the ipod anymore.  I had updated the itunes to the latest version and the it was in the process of updating software in the ipod.  It said that the download could not be completed.  This is a new ipod touch.

  • I bought Adobe Premier 3 and my computer does not have a cd-rom how can I download it?

    I bought this product a while back and I want to download it into my new computer but the computer does not have a cdrom thing, is there a link to a download?

    As Nikhil said, just copy the files to a stick and move them to your new machine. As an alternative, you might consider this:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Just keep in mind that your old version may not work on contemporary operating systems and you may still need to get Elements 11 as much as you may have wanted exactly this...

  • HELP!!! iPod is frozen and won't turn on

    My iPod Nano will not turn on. I last used it today it was half charged, so I know the battery is not dead... I have tried the 5 R's, plugged it into a wall outlet and still not working. When I connect it to my PC, I get nothing. My iTunes program does not display and iPod will not charge. Not sure what else I can do.. Is it broken? Any suggestions would be great!!

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again
    - If still not successful, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
