IPod Freezes during the end of video

My iPod always freeze when I run a video until the very last second.
Is it because of my video?
I use adobe media encoder for video conversion.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do the other (purchased) songs work fine? Is this song in a playlist?
Do either of these help?

Windows 7 frequently freezes during games & (end of) videos w/ bootcamp 3.1

Hi,
when running Windows 7 via bootcamp 3.1 on my new iMac (i5, 27", ATI Radeon 4850 HD) it keeps frequently freezing (completely!) when running videos (e.g., at the end of 5-10 youtube videos) and especially when running 3d games (e.g., while switching to an in-game menu after 10-20min gaming). Even though, the Windows event logging unfortunately has no entries before the freeze, I'm certain its an ATI driver issue. Hence, I tried all drivers available or suggested in discussions, but without any success. Concretely, I tried:
- ATI 8.661.0.0 (driver date 23-09-2009, bootcamp 3.0) => freezing
- ATI 8.681.0.0 (driver date 24-11-2009, bootcamp 3.1) => freezing & color banding
- ATI 8.732.0.0 (driver date 04-05-2010, www.ati.com, mobility driver) => freezing
Does anybody has a working solution, a workaround, or another idea what else I could try?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

Don't know about the earlier poster, but that is exactly what I did. I don't know if you can download the ATI drivers from ATI without also installing Catalyst. I definitely got it as part of my download, and even tried fiddling around with the settings in there, but my systems still freezes randomly

Why is my project freezing at the end of each video demo?

I've created a project with three different video demos. I've done all the editing and have the video slides in the right order, however, each video demo freezes at the end instead of continuing on to the next video demo.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Are you positive that it's not just downloading the next video in the background and that's why it just looks like it's stalled? What happens if you just let it sit there for a minute or two? Does the next slide then start playing?

My ipod touch freezes during the backup portion of sync...help

Everytime I try to sync my ipod touch it freezes during the backup portion. Not sure what to do

Go to preferences, devices, and prevent it from syncing automatically.
Disable any and all security/antivirus programs on your computer, restart it, and try to sync it again.
They are most likely interfering with iTunes.
If this does not work, create another user for your computer (as an Administrator), and try to sync your ipod on that user.

Ipod freezing during connection to mac

I have a 3rd gen ipod and powerbook G4 with an external harddrive Lacie 80gb which now contains my itunes library. The problem I am having is in updating my ipod library. Each time I connect to the lacie drive (with firewire connection, it recognizes the ipod and starts to update it but it invariably freezes during this update. The ipod remains frozen as does the itunes program. I have to force quit the itunes and eject the ipod and then soft reset. When I then reattach it, it is not recognized by the itunes and I have to reinstall the update to get it to work. Unfortunately this erases all the music and I restart the process only to have it all happen again. I have tried manual update to no avail.
This may be related to the fact that I have moved my library to the external drive or that I am using the external firewire.
Frustrated. Can anyone help?

Hi John,
I have a very similar problem, but no solution yet. Maybe my experiences can sombody give some hint:
At home I have the G4 model displayed below. It is alway kept up to date. Last time my iPod was updated with the songs in the iTunes library there was around 6th December 05. Everything went fine then.
Next time I tried to update the iPod songlist, was about two weeks ago. The iPod would freeze this time, hanging and later crashing iTunes and the Finder (iPod could not be ejected). After several tries I thought it would be a good idea to restore the factory settings. So I tried that using the newest iPod Updater 2005-11-17. The Updater was not able to restore the settings. Finally I gave up.
Then I took the iPod to the office where I use a Mac Mini (it is kept up to date as well). I tried to restore the factory settings there and it worked like a charm. Back at home the iPod still would not sync with my PM G4. Listening to the sounds the iPod made during the first seconds of syncing revealed a repeated clicking as if the hard drive was bad.
So I took it to Apple's tech-geeks and told them the hard drive must have gone bad. They tested the iPod thoroughly, but did not find anything wrong. Especially the hard drive was ok.
Now I have it back here, but it still would not sync to my PM G4. Does anybody have any idea? I should perhaps mention, that the system on the PM has only been updated from 10.2 an, whereas the system on the Mini has been installed 10.4 out of the box.

My iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.

my iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place. What is the cure? Can I recieve credit for the rental since I could not view it in its entirerty?

Hi Epski
Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?

Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

IPOD freezes in the middle of podcasts

My Ipod freezes in the middle of playback of podcasts downloaded from Itunes; I have to re-set IPOD in order to continue use. Also happens with audio books. No problem, however, with playback of songs.

I think I have the same problem. It just.. freezes and you cant do anything with the song. You can change songs and sometimes it starts working again if you keep changing songs long enough but that just *****.
So yeah, I know what youre going through And Id appreciate some info about this as well. Its really starting to tick me off.

Problem with ipod, lagging, freezing, and also skipping to the end on video

i've had my ipod for about 4 months now and i can't help to realize my fairly new ipod is slowing down on loading.
when i first started, a white screen comes up and in the middle, it has an ipod and reads, "www.apple.com/support"
main reason why i came to this place.
thats fine to me, it works when i restart it.
then, i press a few buttons, Music -> Artist -> and whatever i want to listen to, but you know how the pages are suppose to pass? my ipod suddenly lags up(slows down) and at the top it shows that im going to those pages, but the screen won't change, then after 30 seconds, the page is loaded.
when i play a song, it tends to freeze a couple times and play again, i don't think this is such a big problem, because it only freezes for about 1 to 10 seconds at most.
also since i have an ipod video, i like to put some funny videos on it. the video when i play it, it is frozen for a couple seconds and play, but plays all the way at the end, meaning that the video has been skipped to the end of it.
these are my problems, anyone who has any idea what so ever what is wrong with my ipod then please reply.
note!!
i have tried restoring over and over again.
i have dropped my ipod a few times, but not that far from the ground.

Did you Reset it or Restore it in iTunes? And if the latter, it successfully completed the Restore?

My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

Ipod freezes during sync then error that it cant read file...

A little pre-info... I have owned a black 30gb 5th gen (video) Ipod for a couple of years now. I plug it in fine, my computer recognizes it fine, Itunes works fine with it... everything works great.
I just bought another Ipod off ebay that is exact as mine except white- auction states the Ipod works fine, seller has awesome feedback, etc.. I bought this for a gift for my sister for Christmas. It is second hand, so warranty is expired.
I plug it in the computer, and first tried to transfer some normal text data via explorer. I had put this same data on my own black Ipod with no issues, words fine. The white? Lo and behold I get that "Data Cycle Redundancy" error during copy. My experience is that that has always meant that the original file is messed up, not the destination its being copied too... but in this case I know the original file(s) were/are ok.
And the Ipod freezes. So I safely unplug, and try to hard reset it. It wouldnt for a bit, and I noticed the Ipod was rather warm (but this might be because it was frozen for several minutes with the backlight still on as well). Finally I get it to reset. Same stuff happens again, again its hard to reset.
So then I decide screw it, forget adding the stuff via explorer, Ill just try to get the music on my computer at least, over via Itunes, after I first restore the Ipod.
Itunes opens... recognizes the Ipod... I go to copy music, and it copies until it essentially 'freezes'. I tried many times - its not a bad file because the same file would copy the other times Id try. It would freeze on any random file, during the write process.
Then Itunes comes up with this error:
"the ipod cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found"
I dont think this is referring to my files trying to be copied, they werent deleted or moved from their location since importing into the Itunes library. Im wondering if theres a system type file on the Ipod that Itunes speaks to as it transfers...and when the Ipod freezes... hence it cant be found...
At the same time I get this error from Itunes, I get a Windows XP bubble pop up that says:
"Delayed Write Failed - Windows was unable to save all the data for the file x. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere."
Now again, my computer/windows is NOT the issue. Its the Ipod.
All the advice I have searched says to fix things on my computer. That includes that Apple support page in regards to those errors - it points the finger at my USB ports, etc - and thats simply not the case. If it was, my other Ipod wouldnt be working either - nor would my flash drives.
Its the white Ipod.
I saw one site suggest to format the Ipod via Windows first, then do the Itunes restore, but the Ipod froze and Windows couldnt format.
I went into Device Manager and compared the two Ipod settings, both share the same settings. They are not set on 'enable write cache'.
I have tested the HD via Diagnostics, and the BL blinked after the test, showing the HD passed... so right now I can only think of three things... a bad logic board perhaps, or the Ipod system files are corrupt somehow no matter how many times I do the restore... should I revert to an older update; is that even possible. Or the HD is bad after all and its just being missed in the test.
So now... I need help. Am I missing something important? Is it a simple fix... a corrupt file thats freezing the Ipod somewhere - or did I get a bad Ipod from the seller.
Its so close to Christmas, if there was some simple fix(instead of it being a bad HD) I could fix it myself, Id rather do that than go through the hassle of returns/refunds. Not to mention, its always a gamble how the seller will react. Will they help, or say its not a problem on their end and try to screw me... then Ill have to go through Paypal for reimbursement and that takes 90 days at least...

I wish I had good news but all I have is information. I have access to 4 5th gen ipods. 2 black 30s and 1 white 30 and 1 black 80. The one white and one of the blacks work and have worked flawlessly for the past two years. The other black 30 and 80 started having the issue mentioned here some time after upgrading to iTunes 8. I tried to lowlevel format the iPod drive to fix any issues and that didn't cure the problem. I bought a MacBook a couple of months ago and restored my ipod to Mac format and low and behold it would accept files again! However it wouldn't let me fill the ipod beyond about halfway, this was on both ipods. Now the ipods have become slowly less and less fillable. Seems like syncing rather than putting the songs on manually seems to help, but again its getting worse all the time. (the two ipods that don't have any problems belong to my girls and the problem ones belong to my son and i) <- Grasping at straws I know, but my son and I are constantly changing the songs, playlists, videos and such.
When I bought my Mac the guys at the Apple store were shocked that I was having this problem and practically begged me to bring it in so they could see what it wrong with it. I will post an update when i do that.

IPod freezing during transfer

I recently updated my version of iTunes to 6.0.4 and since then I have been unable to update songs on my iPod (4th Gen 40 GB with click wheel). The iPod will just freeze at random points during the transfer and I cannot unmount from my computer. I end up having to just unplug it and resetting it. I have tried resetting it and then transferring songs, restoring it and then transferring songs, reformatting it to windows and transferring but to no avail. I have the latest version of the iPod Software and OS X. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
20" Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Having the same problem on my PC with 4th gen. iPod/20GB. I don't know if this started when I updated iTunes or did the latest iPod updater, as I did them on the same day.
I consistently get through about 8 gigs (of 15 gigs) of the transfer (using Firewire) when the connection dies. What I have on the iPod at that point is all I get. To re-synch I have to re-format the iPod with the updater and reset the library.
This is insane. The iPod is 10 months old. I'm sure it's a software problem since before the iTunes/iPod update it seemed to work fine.
Unlike others on this thread, I'm not content to 'bin' the iPod every 10 months. If Apple will provide a fix for this, I'll happily re-consider my purchase of a video iPod, which I was looking into just as this happned. Right now, forget it. At least Microsoft supports their software with new updates after 90 days.
