How to fix a non responding frozen ipod

i was just updating some of my apps on my ipod touch and started playing a game when it froze and turn white with lines of colour,ive tried restarting, connecting to i tunes and charging but its not doing anything how do i fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try 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.
- 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.

  • HT1414 How can I really reset a frozen Ipod Touch (4th gen.) when none of the usual tips work????

    My Ipod touch (4th generation) froze in the "Connect to Itunes" screen, while updating to the latest OS. Neither resetting (hoding on/of and front button), connecting to Itunes or draining the battery (tried that twice) changes anything. Is there anyone with an REAL answer (already read all the forums I could find).

    Check to see if you tried all the following. I think you have

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • How to fix my non-syncing ipod touch.

    I plug in my ipod touch and it says sync in progress but it freezes at step one of the syn process. And then itunes freezes.  How can I fix this so I can do simple syncs again?

    I think step 1 is backing up.  If it is try:

  • HT1339 how to fix a firmware corrupt on ipod classic

    when i try to restore my ipod classic to factory settings i get an error message saying cannot update firmware corrupt. how do i fix this?

    I'm having the same problem as you (I think). My iPod Classic 160 gb got corrupted and I can't put songs on it. I tried resetting the iPod, changing connections, and completely reinstalling iTunes, but nothing has worked yet.
    When I plug it into a usb drive on my Laptop (OS: Windows 7) it says "You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" If I click cancel, nothing happens and I can usually go to iTunes. If I click Format disk, a new window appears with many options (Capacity, File system, Allocation unit size, etc.). If I click start (no matter what options I chose), a message appears saying "WARNING: Formatting will erase ALL data on this disk. To format the disk, click OK. To quit, click CANCEL". Sounds scary right? None the less, a message always appears before the formatting can do anything saying "Windows was unable to complete the format."
    When ITunes opens, a message appears saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I can click "ok" and the click the restore button, but after a while the load fails and it says The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1439).
    This is really irritating! I just want to listen to music on the subway and bus! If anyone has any ideas or tips that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to fix sound distortion on an iPod?

    I have a 4th generation iPod shuffle. When i use ear buds with it, the sound will be fine at first, but after a few days the sound will start to get distorted. If I mess with the ear buds for a little I can fix the sound for a few seconds. After a while the ear buds will stop working with the iPod all together. If I buy a new pair of ear buds the whole thing starts all over again. The ear buds work fine on my PC regardless of how well they work on my iPod and when I restore my iPod it's work fine for few minutes. Any suggestions?

    Per this previous discussion you can't.

  • How to fix the brightness of your ipod's Screen?

    All of a sudden, my ipod touch went dark and it never lit up again but you can see the screen slighlty and i was wondering how do you fix it.
    I've tried pressing the home button and sleep/awake button on and off, that didn't work. I have also tried resetting the ipod back to factory settings but it still hasn't stopped the ipod from being dim. Someone please help me???

    If it is dim with the brighness turned all the way up after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod you have a hardware problem and service is necesary.

  • How to fix a non-working keyboard backlight (2008 Non-Unibody MacBook Pro)

    I was having trouble with my 2008 Non-Unibody MacBook Pro's backlit keyboard. In spite of seeing the backlight bar go up and down, it would not light up.
    I have solved the problem by replugging the power ribbon that connects to the backlight.
    Here is a YouTube video I made that explains the procedure:

    Same Problem here.
    I have installed bootcamp. i played Crysis for over 5 hours. After that i went on OS X. For 2 hours just surfing the net.I opened handbrake and the macbook RUNS at 89 degrees Celsius. and the fans i could not hear them. maybe they are on 2000rpm. Thank god i realise it soon, and stop handbrake encoding.
    After that i came here and read that others have the same problem. so i reset the SMC. after resseting SMC . the 1 time i opened handbrake the fans start rolling at 67 Celsius .I stopped the encoding and start it again after 5 minutes. AGAIN the macbook reach 89 degrees without the fans rolling from over 2000rpm.
    Please apple fix it. We don't want our MBPs to be burned Please realise this problem and give us a fix.

  • How to fix black screen on your iPod touch?

    My ipod touch, wont show anything. it just a black screen. I held the home button, and it tells me that i need to connect to the internet, but still have a black screen.
    the day before i notice my ipod went to a blue screen and then shut off.
    i tried reseting it on my intune, but it didnt do anything.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • How do I end non responding programs?

    I'm prety new to this "mac" thing. Is there a way to end programs that won't respond? I'm used to the altcontrolldel on a pc, but it doesn't work with this.

    Hi HinckeyHog,
    Command(Apple)Option(alt)esc is the Mac equivalent. Alternatively, from the Apple menu (top left of your screen) select Force Quit

  • How to fix anamorphic/non-anamorphic video

    I have read on these discussions on several occasions people complaining that anamorphic clips sometimes do not show as
    such, or vice-versa. Well, the newest (the 200th!) episode of MacBreak Studio gives the answer to this (and other) issues.
    So I thought I'd share.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58aVv6CQIlI&feature=em-subs_digest

    Unfortunately it only works on standard definition media. For some reason that escapes me anamorphic HD such as 1440x1080 does not have this option.
