IPod 4G keeps crashing, freezing and shutting down randomly

I think since the IOS7 update, my Ipod keeps on skipping songs, freezing on apps, crashing on apps and sometimes
shutting down randomly. I have tried deleting from multitask, and shutting down (which only works for like 10 mins).
How can I fix this? And repair is too expensive.

Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Replaced Logic Board, RAM, and hard drive connecting wire, but Macbook Pro 15' (Mid 2010) now freezes and shuts down randomly

    I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro '15. Summer of 2012, it kept shutting down and making the three beeping noises, so I took it in for repair. I was told that my Logicboard needed to be replaced, so I replaced it, and took my Macbook abroad with me. Halfway through the summer, the three beeping noises resumed, and since I was abroad, I couldn't use my 90 day warranty and take it back for repair. By the time I returned to the US, my warranty ended, and I was told that the RAM actually needed to be replaced. So I replaced that.
    In May of this year, my laptop wouldn't start and instead showed a folder with a question mark. I took it to repair and was told it was the hard drive wire that needed to be replaced, so I replaced that. Less than two weeks after, my Mac began freezing whenever I had a YouTube video or song playing- it made short, staticky sounds and then shut down. Now, it shuts down randomly even when I'm not playing videos or songs, and regardless of if it is running on battery or plugged in. Since I got my hard drive wire replaced, I've also noticed that the laptop takes an incredibly slow time to start up.
    The last the Genius Bar technicians looked at my computer when replacing the harddrive wire, they hadn't said anything else was wrong with my laptop.
    I've spent almost $1000 total fixing my macbook and am quite sick of going through this over and over again. Can anyone help me know what went wrong this time? (I have no apple care) Thank you in advance.

    Check to see if you've any panic logs -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps on freezing and shutting down

    Hi guys.
    Around the end of April we decided to get an iPhone 5 from dialaphone.com. The phone was totally fine until about last week, when it started to lag and then, after a few minutes after being switched on, black out. We have tried to restore it using iTunes many times, but there was either two outcomes- it either has the same problem as before or has a continuous booting logo (on for five seconds, then off for five seconds, then on for five seconds, and so on.) Something notable is that instead of turning off, it had a completely blue screen. Also, there was another problem that developed after. If you successfully tried to turn the phone on, the amount of battery left in the phone would be stuck at that level, e.g if you turn it on and the battery in  the corner says 66% when you turn it on, the phone's battery indicator would be totally stuck 66% even though the battery is draining.
    We have taken it to many places, including EE (the carrier of the phone). We are planning an appointment for a Genius to look at it today. Somebody told me that the "software deleted itself", others say that the phone is overheating because of the very hot weather. If somebody could give us a mere suggestion, it would help ALOT.
    Thanks,
    Marcus

    When you did the restore did you restore from back up or did you set up as a new phone?

  • 2012 MacBook Pro freezing and shutting down randomly

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (15.4" 2.6ghz i7 model) and I'm having some serious issues with the laptop freezing up completely and also randomly restarting. The freezes are hard freezes as well, not simple hangs, they require me to hold the power button down to restart Occasionally when it shuts itself down and attempts to restart it will give me the dreaded "3 beeps" indicating a hardware problem. Strangely, if I hold the power button down so that it shuts itself off entirely and let it sit for a minute it will always restart fine afterwards.
    I have swapped out the RAM for new modules and the problem has persisted. It happens at various times as well, sometime in the middle of the night while its asleep, other times while I'm actively using it, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to when it happens. Likewise they occur regardless of any externals in use as well (I have a 23" external monitor that occasionally use via a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter as well as some USB 3 & 2 external HD's, USB 2.0 hub and a Firewire audio interface. The freezes seem to happen even if I'm using the laptop by itself without any peripherals plugged in.
    To make my situation more complicated, I upgraded many of the componants of the laptop upon purchasing it, so I can't really be sure if I have a faulty HD since my only experience with it has been in it's current upgraded state. I have a 256GB SSD as my boot drive and I replaced my optical drive with a data doubler with a 750GB WD HD.
    It is not currently under warrenty nor do I have Apple Care so I'd like to do as much legwork as I can to narrow down my issue- I have seen other threads where people have had thier logic boards replaced and the issues persisted- I don't quite have the $$ to spend on that sort of repair unless it truly is the root of my problems.
    What can I do to further troubleshoot my setup? The freezes don't happen regularly but they are often enough to be a problem. I am also a musician and use my laptop for live performances so I need to make sure this doesn't happen during a show!
    Thanks in advance for any assistance

    Sounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
    Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
    One of these devices could be causing it.
    Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
    Select your language.
    Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
    Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit.

  • Z30 freezing and shutting down

    I am on my 2 nd z30 in 2 weeks and they have both had a problem with freezing and shutting down, sometimes in mid use and sometimes on its own, can anyone?

    Hello soggy001
    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com
    Make restarted the z30?
    If your problem evidences the persistence
    Apply a hard reset keep the power button for 30 seconds.
    Regards.
    I recommend you make a reload of the BlackBerry OS Link
    Connect your z30 and run BBLink
    Then go to preference and press the reload option software
    Let the process do all your work, and then you start setting your BB
    And load your backup.
    And let us know if your problem evidences the persistence.
    You must have the latest version of the BlackBerry Link installed.

  • IPod Touch 2.0.1 Reboots and shuts down randomly

    I have an 8gb iPod touch on the 2.0.1(5b108) firmware that now reboots and shuts down randomly while just sitting idle. I've tried restoring and resetting and it still does this. In terms of the shutting down randomly it seems like my hold button is sticking or broken, but I can't explain the random restarting. This has only been happening since I updated to 2.0.1. Any advice?

    As posted before as m9performance but the forum would not let me logo on as that.
    This has been going on for some time now Apple was to fix this problem with the 2.0 update absolute rubbish it is now worse that before just turning it self off and resetting it self e.g. tonight from 17-30h to 18-45h it did this 3 soddin times.
    Where as before it would be about once every 3 weeks or monthly it is about time Apple started to honour their customers with a product that works e.g. it dose what it says on the box and plays music until the customer tells it not to.
    Come on Apple fix up and fix your product lots of people have mp3 players with out the touch problems like I have said before never mind bringing out a new bigger one 32G get the old ones working first. At the end of the day it is down to YOU Apple and not for the users to have to keep posting the same problems hoping that you as a company decide to fix your mistakes and eventually look after your customers.

  • IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation

    My IMAC is  freezing and shutting down without explanation . Any thoughts or suggestions?  Could this mean the motherboard is about to die? I have considered erasing the hard drive and reloading, but I'm unsure if that will help i.e. if I back up my IMAC using time machine, then I am just relaoding the problem when I use time machine to reaload........

  • Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its  related to overheating ?

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works

    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.

  • Microphoto Freezes and Shuts Down During File trans

    I just bought my Creative Zen Microphoto a week ago and was pumped when I got. It worked fine for a couple of days, I didn't have a problem transfering the music through windows media player 0. everything worked fine and i was really happy with it. however, after i uninstalled it and upgraded to wmp version the microphoto FREEZES and SHUTS DOWN during file transfers. I went to the recovery menu and reformatted it and cleaned it up. I tried it again and the same thing happened. It transfered about 25 songs and just froze adn does nothing. I have tried anything and everything . PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Thanks, Jon

    Jason, thanks for trying your help but I'm thinking now it has something to do with the hard dri've failing. But that doesnt make since becase the player still turns on fine and it still works, like i can still use the radio etc. i just can' transfer music. i installed the windows media pack thing and that didn't work. i just don't know what to do anymore. should i install the creative software that i got with my player or would that not matter? i deleted it i just think that it would not matter. it didn't seem to work when i had it installed i stil had the same problems. i just don't know what to do right now jason i am running out of ideas?

  • Recent freezing and shutting down every down 10-15 minutes and hard to log in to internet very slow

    My son has 2009 Macbook white version and recently (last week or so) freezing all the time, cannot log on to internet, and shuts down every 10-15 minutes. Is there a download (free hopefully to clean it up for any spyware or maleware). He is a student and very busy in University and cannot be without the computer?

    He will need something to back up onto like an external hard drive. The disks are necessary if the hard drive needs to be repaired, you can't repair the boot volume so you need to start up from an install disc and run Disk Utility from there. When you talk to him have him resettle SMC and pram, sometimes unexpected shutdowns can be corrected that way. The freezing is another issue, I'm concerned with the health of his hard drive. Another thing to ask when you talk to him is how much total space and how much free space does his hard drive have?
    To reset the SMC
    MacBook and MacBook Pro 
    Laptops with a battery you can remove 
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Newer Mac portables with a battery you don't remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.  
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
