Ipod (5th Gen) + Computer = Freezes

It Just Recently Started Freezing Up On Me.
It Runs Fine On Other Computers But I Have All My Stuff On This Computer And I Don't Want To Have Two Computer On Just To Sync My Ipod.
I Was Editing Some Video Files For A School Project And After I Tried To Change The Name/Artist So I Could Easily Find It...It Froze Up When I Pluged My Ipod To The Computer.
After Some Time After Connected The Ipod Would Start Charging But It Would Not Connect And The Computer Is Frozen Like Ice.
I Tried Restarting, Restalling, Changing USB Ports, Restoring(both computer and Ipod), Everythings Updated, Ipod Was Fully Charged.
Even After All That It Would Still Freeze Up My Computer.
Now I Have To Find And Transfer All My Videos To Another Computer And Install My Video Editor Program Onto It And Redo A Lot Of Videos.
I Want To Keep The Current Computer I Use To Sync My Files So If Anyones Has An Answer I Would Like To Hear It. (Hopefully Before ... Feb. 11/08)
Thank You For Spending Your Time Reading This.

Can you elaborate on what you did and if it worked?
I have the same problem and I've tried everything I can think of as well.

HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video). My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it. On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

Its been like this for awhile and I can not 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 another cable
- 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.

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

Not without installing additional software on your computer. The problem is that your Windows PC cannot read the Mac's disk format. If the iPod was previously used on a Mac, its storage uses the Mac's disk format. The Restore process reformats the iPod's disk for use with Windows, but this erases its current content.
There are third-party products that allow Windows to read the Mac's disk format. For example
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive
However, even if your computer is able to read the Mac's disk format, iTunes cannot be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
So, you may be able to do it by first making the iPod's disk readable on a Windows PC, and then using a method (that is not iTunes) to transfer its song files to your computer's drive. After the song files are on your computer, you can add them to the iTunes library.

HT201246 what shall i do if i forgot my ipod 5th gen password and i cannot connect it to a computer???????

what shall i do if i forgot my ipod 5th gen password and i cannot connect it to a computer???????
ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SWITCHING ON MY IPOD IN 5 MONTHS

If no computer:
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. 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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

I have an Ipod 5th gen, I added a keyboard which was greek, I had changed my password to a greek short sentence. But the decided to take the greek keyboard off as I didn't use it often, so there was no point in having it. But I forgot to change my password, so I can't enter my Ipod. I've tried to enter the password in English and its not working! I don't really want to restart it all because I will loose everything! If anyone could help that would be great thank you.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

My iPod 5th gen won't charge:'(

As stated in the tittle my iPod won't charge. I have looked at a lot of the similar posts but none of them are helpful. I can NOT get into DFU mode, I HAVE read both iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting and iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery pages, I HAVE tried another cable and another wall charger, I HAVE checked all connections/sockets on the iPod, cord, and wallcharger for debree, rust, or other forign materials, and I HAVE tried plugging it into my computer.
Just for clarification, my sister has an iPod 5th gen with the iOS 7.0.4 and her iPod charges on both mine and her cable/wallcharger/computer BUT my iPod does not charge on any combination of those. The nearest apple store is 1hr 29mins from me (I checked!)
Usually computers and tech do not elude my deductive skills but this has me stumped! Please help! Any of such is greatly appriecated!

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

My ipod 5th gen keeps turning off whenever I unlock it!

A few days ago I was on my ipod 5th gen and it randomly restarted itself, I didn't think much of it but as soon as I unlocked my ipod it froze for a second or two and restarted itself again, it happens every time I unlock it, if i stay on the home screen its fine and I can access my music but it wont connect to any wifi and always restarts itself every time i type in the passcode. I've tried going into itunes to back it up and restore it but it needs me to allow access to my ipod by unlocking it (which i cant do) and saying i trust my computer. Nothing ive tried has done anything and i cant back it up cuz i cant unlock my ipod without it restarting itself.

IPod 5th gen frozen after upgrading to iOS 8

I was able to download and install of iOS 8 on my iPod 5th gen (no iSight camera version). Everything went great, no errors or warnings. After it installed and the iPod reset, it is now stuck on a white screen with a black Apple and the progress bar. It has been stuck on this screen with the progress bar about 5/6 of the way across for hours.
It is still shows in iTunes with the model, capacity, and the check for update, restore iPod, backup now, and restore backup buttons. iTunes says it is on iOS 8. When I click on any of the above buttons, I get a message that "Find my iPod must be turned off before iPods can be restored." I feel like a ******* not turning Find My iPod it off before upgrading, but it should have told me to turn if off before upgrading.
I cannot power the iPod off to try to reset it, nothing happens.
Am I screwed and now have a metal and glass brick, or is there anything I can do?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
