HT201263 frozen ipod touch

I have tried Apple's solution when you're unable to update or restore and it didn't work. My ipod 1st generation continually restarts on its own and then freezes before it even gets to the home screen and its not recognized in itunes. A friend borrowed it and while he had it he decided to jailbreak it for me and now it doesn't work at all.

Get your friend to fix it. He broke it.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
  Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

    How do you fix  a frozen ipod touch, it only shows the apple logo?

    Hello,
    I have same broken iPod Touch 4G, I'm stuck on the Apple logo and only what I can do is just restart. If I connect iPod turns on but that's all. I checked a lot of tricks how to restart/reboot device and how to get DFU but I have only the logo. iTunes on my mac can't recognize the device.
    And in Apple retail store the guy told me: sorry it's dead. We can fix for about £200. After 1 month when my waranty is finished. Funny isn't it? I can't believe that my lovely iPod is dead after 13 months. Where is the "for quality you have to pay." Is it conspiracy if you don't buy extra waranty we will send you killing signal into your iDevice?
    Many thanks for help

  • Frozen iPod Touch?

    My iPod touch is completely frozen. The shut down sequence nor anything else is working. I've tried connecting it to my sound station, my Vista notebook (iTunes does not even recognize it), keeping in the power button...nothing.
    How do I "remove the battery" or completely restart it?
    The only thing I can think of is to let the battery run dead as the screen is on..with no touch sensitivity though.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Well, if safari crashes at 20% or less, than I guess the only thing to do is to charge your ipod!
    But maybe low battery is not the problem. While searching on google, I found this :

    If you read the comments, you will see that safari crashef often.

  • Frozen IPOD Touch w/ USB connector symbol

    IPOD touch is frozen with USB connector/ITUNES symbol on screen. I can only turn the IPOD on and off, and it always comes back to this screen. I've connected it to my MacBook, but ITUNES won't allow it to connect until I enter the passcode on the IPOD Touch....which obviously I cannot do. I cannot reset IPOD Touch. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so what do I do? Thanks in advance...

    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off.
    Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on.
    Restore your iPod.

  • How can I fix a frozen iPod touch 4th generation?

    I tried to put my pass code in and it frozen and wouldn't unlock.  The screen then went to the apple logo screen for five minutes.  From the apple logo screen then went to a white screen with colorful vertical lines on the screen.  It's now been on this last screen for thirty minutes.  I don't really want to replace it or bring it to an apple store because the nearest store is over two hours away.  I've tried to press the power and home button and I've held the power button down for five minutes with no results.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. You have no iCloud since that requies iOS 5 If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes. If yo do not have a backup yo can't restoe from backup
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
