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 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."

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 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"
See URLs:

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 during restore.

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.

HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

Ipod touch has frozen

So i was trying to update it and it froze while updating so i cancled everthing and disconnected it, now when i turn it back on it shows a screen to showing the usb connector on the screen and i can't get it to go off, i tried to resent it also and it won't work what should i do

Plug it into iTunes, it will find an iPod Touch in recovery mode, it needs to finish restoring in iTunes.
Hope that was helpful.

My daughter's iPod Touch has frozen.

I have tried to restore teh iPod and whilst I can get itconnected it seems to time out once the download has been completed.

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

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
