Help, my ipod touch has frozen when downloading ios 5.1?

Can anybody help please? I was downloading the newest version onto my ipod touch and the ipod has frozen. I have tried turning off and resetting to factory settings but nothing works.

I went through two of the apple support webpages and the ipod is now connected, so the password was not the problem. I recently installed a new ActionTec modem and had to adjust a couple settings.
The topics I read were:
"iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" and
"iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points"

I thought these articles were well written, helpful, and were written from the perspective of customer usability (and better than what I typically find on other company websites).

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

HT1296 My ipod touch has frozen

My old ipod touch has frozen. The touch screen won't respondand itunes is not recognising or syncing it. The sleep button doesn't work so I can't hold it down with the home button. Is ther any other way I can get it working again?

Try as best you can with the bad button.:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program:
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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.
- 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 has frozen while using an app.

My new Ipod touch has frozen while I was using an app. I can't even turn it off. It has pink and blus stripes on the screen. I don't want to lose all my stuff and haven't yet got a back up on the computer. What should I do?

Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Help my IPod touch has been stolen can we block it or wipe it

Hi can anyone tell me if we can swipe an iPod touch in anyway through iCloud or block it as its been stolen . Thank u

f you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

Ipod Touch 5 disabled when installing IOS 8

my daughter tried to install IOS 8 on her Ipod touch, but the Ipod blocked on the Apple ID or password. We re-initiated a password and it still doesn't work, now it says that the Apple ID is not correct. When I connect the Ipod with Itunes, we get the message that it cannot make a connection with this IPHONE (it is a IPOD) because this device isn't no longer connected?? Any help on this is more than welcome;

- 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.
- Try another USB port
- Reboot the computer
- Try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

My iPod Touch has frozen.

I was having trouble with downloading an app so I turned my iPod of and then tried to turn it back on again but now its frozen on the Apple symbol.
Just now it flashed [white screen] but its back on the apple symbol again.
I tried putting it on charge [socket charger] and just pressing the buttons but nothing happens.

1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
If you're not able to restore the device, you should use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

Try disabling your computer's security software and try again.

Copy the music currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.
