Ipod 5g touch keeps freezing

I have had my Ipod 5g touch for a month now, and whenever I try to access my photos, all that come up is a blank screen. Also, whenever I try to go on certain apps, it keeps freezing. I have never had this problem before, and I have everything up to date. I have a Ipod 4g touch that I've had for a little over a year, and never had problems like this before. My mom has the same Ipod 5, and so does my brother, and they haven't had problems like this before.

  • My iPod 160GB classic keeps freezing during play.

    My iPod 160GB classic keeps freezing during play.  Have restored it via itunes and now it won't sync completely.   Is there a way of running a defrag or reformatting the ipod?

    Yes, I think so.

  • 8GB ipod touch keeps freezing up and won't run apps correctly

    I have an 8GB ipod touch that is almost a year old and it keeps freezing up.  Some apps that use the motion side to side to move objects, doodlejump for example, won't work.  I have reloaded apps and restored the ipod and it is still having a problem.  What would be the issue and can it be fixed?

    If the restore you did was from backup. restore to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup.  If you then still have problems I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If they determine it is a hardware problem and it is within warranty they should give you a replacment iPod.

On my classic I'll hold down menu botton on the wheel. But thing happen, I'm tired of letting battery go dead and recharge it, just to freeze up again. I made it work one time by holding down the menu button. That's  about it. I need help.

    PS I don't know operation system on my ipod classic, but on my mac book pro i am using (11.0.2) my mac os x (10.6.8). So, I try to take a quess at my os my classic

    Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
    Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
    Good luck!

  • My ipod touch keeps freezing and doesnt want to turn on anymore.

    i have a 32gb 4th generation ipod touch, it stopped working properly like 2 weeks ago. It stopped functioning right when the home button didnt go as smooth. I had to press it really hard to go from one app to the home screen. if i pressed it twice to change music, it would turn negative color. i turned that off but the button kept acting the same. it is fustrating. ive tried turning it off then back on but it doesnt change and today while in an app it froze completely.  i held the power and home button to reset it, although it was hard, it turned off. while trying to turn it back on, it froze on the black screen with the apple in the middle. is there anyway i can fix it or what can i do?
    i need help its very fustrating and it keeps turning on and off by itself on the black screen with the apple for over 10 minutes.
    ive only had it for 5 months. please help!

    This also happened to me when I did the jailbreak and restored, he caught the apple in the middle of the screen and spent four monthswithout knowing what to do, I called support and found it was onlyTIGHTEN THE BUTTON UP, HOLD AND PRESS THE BUTTONAND HOME HOLD BOTH, then the image will appear to connectthe pc, when you will connect to iTunes and a message that youriPod disendo is in recovery mode, then just restore it and hope itreturns to normal. Hope this helps everyone.
    Ps: I do not speak English and I'm translating this message forgoogle, so sorry for the mistakes grammarians.

  • My iPod Touch keeps freezing! WHY?!

    I have the 8GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch with software version 4.2.1. It's about two years old and has recently begun to freeze (no colored pages, just frozen on whatever screen it was on when it froze). It happens when I am playing and exploring my music the most and has even done it for no reason. The only way to pass it is to do a force quit by holding down the power and home buttons.
    I have been to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and he reset my iPod back to it's factory settings and I left with a blank iPod and the hope that the problem had been solved. Alas, it had not. I got home, synced it to my library and behold, here we are again.
    I don't play games or use apps that (literally, the only app I have is Facebook). I have a huge iTunes library, but I haven't filled my iPod to the max, so there's lots of storage space. So it can't be an app or storage issue. I do have it connected to my personal home wireless internet, but that has never ever given me problems, so I don't think that's an issue either.
    I have gone through my entire iTunes library and found no corrupt files and everything is up to date (both iTunes and iPod software). I have even re-downloaded iTunes. I understand that I now have an outdated iPod since the 5th Generation is out and because of that, 4.2.1 is as far as 4th Generation users will get. Apple has stopped releasing updates for the 4th Generation iPods, so updates will now bypass 4th Generation users. Fine. I've had version 4.2.1 for well over a month now and it only recently began freezing and giving me issues.
    All I want to do is browse and listen to my music without it freezing as that is all I use my iPod for.
    I plan on revisiting the Genius Bar for another appointment in the very near future.
    I am willing to try anything (as long as it won't harm my iPod). I do however refuse to buy a replacement since the 5th Generation is out and 4th Generation updates have been abandoned. So if it comes down to buying another one, it's going to be the newest one.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    HELP!
    -Brandon

    Correction: I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch, not a 4th Gen. My mistake.
    I have deleted a ton of stuff already. The only stuff left is music, that's pretty much it.
    As far as restoring it goes, I have done that. The problem still seems to remain.
    Any more ideas or suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • My replacement ipod touch keeps freezing

    I just got a new replacement ipod touch 2 weeks ago . It freezes every few sec but weird thing is that i think it is just the keyboard because it responds to the home button. This happens with like every app that needs a keyboard. Another weird thing is that this problem goes away and then comes back. And i lose wifi when this happens too. And it wouldnt let me put my ipod to shut down. Until i reset but the problem happened again. Right now it is gone cause i exited out of the app and restarted but it happens again later. This happens on safari too! If this replacement is another defect what do i do? :( I found out this problem when it wouldnt let me message my friends on facebook and i thought it was just the app but it started happening on safari too!

    There are some major problems with this ipod. I know everyone says this, but restoring from a backup might help.
    You could also make an appointment with a Genious at an apple store, if you live near one. They might be able to fix this better than someone on the forums. These appointments are free!!

  • Ipod touch keeps freezing in recovery mode

    Every time I try to upgrade my ipod touch to 3.1.3, it crashes and goes into recovery mode and doesn't work. itunes doesn't recognize the device so I have to use someone else's PC and itunes account to restore it to its original settings. Anyone got any suggestions.

  • 1st generation ipod touch keeps freezing

    My ipod won't unlock and when it does it freezes on the home screen until the battery dies. I tried restoring it and it didn't fix anything. HELP PLEASE! Has this happened to anyone else?

    If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.
