HELP! Ipod froze!

I plugged my ipod into my computer to add songs to it, and the computer made the noise that it recognized it, but itunes never brought it up. The ipod also didn't recognize it, because the screen didn't come up about syncronizing. I unplugged it from the USB, and it turned on, but it is now stuck at the home screen. It has been like this for 20 minutes and counting. The scroll wheel and buttons are not responding either. What do I do?

Try Resetting your iPod. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display: iPod isn't responding it appears to be frozen

  • HT1338 My ipod froze up. I cant do anything not even turn it off.HELP.

    My ipod froze. I can not torn it off. I cant do anything. It has changed pic and dates by itself. Is it dead? Do I need to get a new one? If you could help me figue this problem out it would be Greatly Appreciated.

    If not successful try the remaining items of:
    - 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.

  • IPod Froze someone HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My iPod froze, 1st it wouldn't play the songs (and it wasn't the earphones-i checked) 2nd when i was searching to find a song and try to fix it, it froze compleatly!!!!!!! the "Hold" switch, Wheel, and Buttons don't work. I'm about to scream because i need to be able to use my iPod ASAP. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please!

    Hi,
    Have you guys tried Resetting the iPod, just like the guy posted? Try to Reset the iPod first, by Change the Hold switch to Hold first (iPod is on Hold), then change it back to Off (iPod is not on Hold). Make sure the Hold switch is OFF, then Press and Hold the Middle button and Menu button at the same time until you can see the Apple Logo appears. Try to do that by laying the iPod on Flat smooth surface and keep your hands still. Then you might want to remove everything from your iPod and re-sync everything back to your iPod again. Be careful to backup everything!!!
    My iPod still tries to reset itself several times, specially when I want to switch from playing music to playing video. Just give your iPod some time to load thing for you. Clicking or using it TOO Fast can lead to this problem, too.

  • MY ipod froze, restarted but will not load any music or delete old apps, any know how to fix this

    My ipod froze so I restarted it. It loaded the apps but no music and did not delete old apps. Help!

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • IPod Froze, but now it won't sync

    my iPod froze so i had to reset it. This cleared all the songs so i went to put them all back on but nothing happens.
    Please help,
    Thanks.

    Hello Mr. Bump,
    By rest do you mean pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple log appears? If so, then after you did this you say your music disappeared? Maybe try resetting the unit one more time.
    If no luck, your iPod may be corrupt. I would recommend completely restoring the iPod via iTunes and starting from scratch in regards to adding all your music and files back to it.
    Here are instructions on how to restore your iPod. Hope it helps.

    If I am mistaken on any of these assumptions, let me know. Would love to help.

  • 30g vid ipod froze, now showing multiple icons and unable to restart

    today while mowing the lawn (which i listen to music doing) my ipod froze. i dropped it on the grass earlier, and there wasn't any dirt on it but i got worried I restart it with menu+select and then the ipod/support sad face pops up. so i finish mowing the lawn, go inside and plug my ipod into my computer naturally to see if it pops up. Well, my ipod restarts itself, the support icon shows up again, and then the charging icon pops up, replacing the sadface ipod. The charging battery logo will blink a couple of times and after a minute or so it restarts again, sadface, charge, and goes the process again! The funny thing is, that there was plenty of battery life when i was listening to it!! over half for sure. I've only had my ipod for 3 months and it has a good case. only been dropped twice. i'm very upset with this and i'd appreciate some help . maybe it needs some charging but i realy need some advice.
    thanks

    Try keeping it plugged into your computer for awhile, I had a similar problem and it just took time to resolve. If all else fails, restore your ipod.

  • MY iPod froze up, SCREEN WILL NOT MOVE WILL NOT TURN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HELP WHAT DO I DO!

    Thank You for the advice of holding the middle button and the menu button at the same time. My new classic 80gb Ipod froze today and I didn't know what to do. I am glad the info is out here to find.
    I have an older nano Ipod and I have not had any problem, except not much space, as I am with the new Ipod. Does anyone else notice that with their newer Ipod's?

    My iPod froze yesterday I was listening to a song on my iPod when all of the sudden my ipod was frozen and would not do anything. So When I got home to my computer plugged my iPod into my computer and then restarted my computer and my iPod was fine it reset itself. Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks for your help,

    Fifth Generation iPod Windows XP

    Mine froze a few days ago while at work. After talking to a coworker that has one, he told me that I had to let the battery die in order for the freeze to go away. It wasnt until I got home to my own computer that I discovered (menu + center) button will unfreeze it.
    Since it was frozen anyway, the battery was almost dead by the time I got home anyway.

  • 20 gb ipod froze

    my ipod froze and i followed the instructions in the manual to restart. the apple logo appears but the device does not turn back on and then a exclamation point and another symbol (i am not sure what it is) appears. i then proceeded to charge it but it would not charge. i also tried connecting it to my itunes to update the ipod tsoftware which i havent done in a while but the ipod would not connect with itunes. any help would be appreciated. thank you

    Same here. I think the new versions of iTunes have corrupted mine to the point where it doesn't sync, is deemed 'corrupt' and won't restore. I think we may be forced to upgrade.

  • PLEASE help - iPod freezing, cannot restart

    Okay. So my iPod froze, and then ran out of batteries. My iPod also did not (and does not) show up in my iTunes account where it normally would. When it ran out of batteries, I plugged it into my computer and held down the Select and Menu buttons. An apple came up on the screen. I didn't realize the apple was SUPPOSED to be there, so I held down the Menu and Select buttons again. It made a weird musical sound (coming directly from the iPod, the headphones were not plugged in) and now the screen is blank and white. I tried "updating" the iPod in order to completely reset it, but it says that there is a software malfunction.
    I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to make my iPod go back to normal.
    (second time I've posted this, I know, but no one replied)

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
