Ipod freezes up while running

My ipod freezes up every time I run. I know that at 15 mins it will not work. I have it on hold while I'm running. Once it freezes up it is impossible to reset the screen until I get home because I need a flat surface to reset it on. Why does this happen? How do I prevent it from happening? It is very frustrating. I have 10K coming up and would like some music.

the same thing has happened to me...and it is starting to drive me crazy, all i want is my ipod to work!!

IPOD freezes when I run

Everytime I run my IPOD freezes up. I can reset it but only while standing still. It runs fine after being reset until I start running again. I have tried with and without hold on but it doesn't seem to matter. I have already had to have my IPOD reformatted by Apple once. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do to prevent this. Supposedly the IPOD was fine for running.

My iPod freezes when I run too. Since the original iPod I was usuing lasted 18 months, even in Iraq, I decided that it was normal wear and tear so I purchased a new iPod. However, this new iPod didn't even make it a 1/2 mile before it froze. I reset it twice and it froze again each time. This is really disappointing and I cannot beleive that Apple does not do anything about this. I can't even get a support tech to talk to me. I have contact the state's attorney general's office to see if there are any other complaints. They stated that a class action lawsuit can be a poosibility if enough people join together.
I was very happy with the iPod and even solicted other users but this to me is unacceptable. Apple should advertise that the iPod can not handle a simple task as running. They obviously know about this problem but refuse to acknowledge it b/c of the potential to lose so much business as everyone using an MP3 player to run with.

IPod acts crazy while running

Hi Folks,
Sorry if this is a re-post or if I'm off topic!! I just bought this past December the 4th gen. ipod touch (32 GB) and just for the record it is not jailbroken or anything like that... Any way the device works fine haven't had any trouble. Except everytime I use it while running it gets possessed by the own devil!! It fast forwards (Chimpunk voices), it skips tracks including folders & the voice comand option pops back & forward constantly.. To be honest the whole reason I bought the iPod was to use it while I work-out!! I have used it for long hour drives and it behaves like it was intended to..
I already tried everything.. Hard reset, normal reset it also behaved the same with the old iOS so downgrade is not an option and the same goes for itunes.. All my music goes through an mp3 cleaner/fixer by the way.
Any help will be greatly apreciated!!
Thanks in advance

Ipod locking up while running

I have a 30gig ipod and had no issues until recently. Lately while running it will lock up. I can reboot it and get it working again but it is a royal pain and it does it every time I run. I did restore to factory settings and it did not seem to help. Is my ipod done for? Will this happen with a new one too?

Video freezing up while running Lab View 10

I am using Lab View 10. My video will freeze up every so often. Somtimes labview will abort by itself? I can run other applications while lab view is frozen. Is it a lab view programming problem or a possible video card problem. The main VI is 1.7 MB. I am running Windows Xp 32 bit. CPU 2.4 Gig, Memory 4 gig, Video Nvidea GeForce 8400 GS. It appears to be a video refresh problem. I can have a screen with two different application screens on top of each other. Can someone confirm that the video card is the issure?
Any suggestions would be helpfull.
Solved!

I'm having trouble understanding the exact behavior of 'Video' on your system. Are you having trouble displaying specific VIs? (Controls/Indicators, Updates on the Front Panel, Etc) Are you seeing generalized glitches only when running LabVIEW? If you can provide further detail on the behavior, it will be very helpful in providing meaningful troubleshooting steps of the system.

IPod Mini skips while running

I understand the problem: the hard drive can get jostled while I'm running, and the cache can only hold a certain number of songs. How do I convert songs that are currently at 128 bit rate to a smaller bit rate, like 56? This would allow the Mini to hold more songs in cache and lead to less skipping.

About MP3 custom import options
The import options in the Importing pane of iTunes preferences give you increased control over the quality of your imported audio files and the amount of disk space the songs use. If you choose MP3 encoding, you can also set the following custom import options by choosing Custom from the Setting pop-up menu:
Stereo Bit Rate: The higher the Mono or Stereo kilobits per second (kbps), the higher the audio quality and the larger the file size. The most common bit rate for stereo MP3 files is 128 kbps. Lower bit rates are more appropriate for sound files containing voice recordings (as opposed to music).
Variable Bit Rate Encoding (VBR): This setting varies the number of bits used to store the music depending on the complexity of the music. This can help keep file size to a minimum.
Sample Rate: Sample rate is the number of times per second that the music waveforms are captured digitally. The higher the sample rate, the higher the quality and the larger the file size. Be sure to choose a sample rate that is no higher than the rate used to originally store the music, or you'll waste space. CD quality, for example, is 44.100 kHz, so choosing a higher rate when you're encoding from a CD is unnecessary. In general, the best choice is Auto, which uses the same rate as the original music.
Channels: Mono files are about half the size of stereo files. Mono is appropriate if you don't have stereo speakers or if your audio files are monaural. If you'll be listening to your MP3 files using your stereo system, choose Stereo or Auto. Auto converts tracks that are already monaural into mono MP3 files, and stereo files into stereo MP3 files.
Stereo Mode: In Normal mode, your MP3 files contain one track for the right stereo channel and one track for the left. In many cases, the two channels contain related information. In Joint Stereo mode, one channel carries the information that's identical on both channels, and the other channel carries the unique information. At bit rates of 128 kbps and below, this can improve the sound quality of your converted audio.
Smart Encoding Adjustments: If you choose this option, iTunes analyzes your encoding settings and music source and changes your settings as needed to maximize the quality of your encoded files.
Filter Frequencies Below 10 Hz: Filtering inaudible frequencies results in smaller, more efficient files without any perceived loss in audio quality.

My ipod freezes randomly while play

So if i'm playing my ipod- it will just stop playing- it show's that its still playing- the status bar on the song is still moving, volume up and no sound :(- and then if you try to scroll forward- you can - but the album covers are all garbled and unrecognizable. You can't get any other dong to play- I"ve had to reset it several times. Which is a big pain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- oh and i have current software

It's probally your hard drive it may be getting old and waring out.

Brand-new iPod Touch 5th gen often freezes win7 while charging

Hi,
I've had a new iPod touch 5th gen for about two weeks now.
I also have a laptop that runs Win7, that has had no problems whatsoever until now, and that has no problems when the iPod isn't plugged in.
Here's what happens:
I plug in the iPod Touch to update files and recharge the battery
All goes well, iTunes sees iPod, battery's charging
Lalala
Bam! Some 15-30min later:
Laptop freezes over.
I have had to manually shut down the laptop more than a dozen times in a couple weeks now.
The iPod is killing the laptop dead. Slowly, but surely, it's happening.
I love my laptop. I NEED my laptop. I otherwise love the iPod too
This happens whether the iPod is ejected, but still charging, or not; whether iTunes is on or not
I unplug the iPod: nothing; laptop still dead.
Sometimes, it happens when I change songs, as I simultaneously listen to the iPod while it charges.
Other times, it happens while fiddling with playlists and tag infos in iTunes. (<-- I am particularly weary of this one, since, it seems to me, the iPod takes a few good seconds to access tag infos/change songs, much longer than, for instance, did my iPod Nano 5th gen, though, understandably, that one did not have an OS)
Other times, it just happens suddenly, with no apparent cause other than that the iPod is plugged in.
Could it be the cable? (any way to find that out without investing in a new cable? )
The iPod runs iOS 6.1.3; the laptop runs iTunes 11.0.5.5.
The laptop is equipped with a fairly new SSD, no HDD [does that matter?!]
Any help/ideas to get these two to get along would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.

If yo mean the iPod freeze and does some things when charging. other users have experienced that problem. However. I have not seen a reply concerning the resolution.

Computer freezes while running Endeca Tools Service

Hello,
We are facing a problem while running Endeca Tools Service with Experience Manager (v3.1.2 ) on Windows 7.
My computer freezes recurrently while the service is running. The same issue is happening to all of my colleagues who have installed the products.
Any help with this is much much appreciated.
Thanks.

For your question, you probably want the Endeca Experience Management forum (Endeca Experience Management).
Endeca Information Discovery is a different product.

Ipod freezes while attempting to Synce

I just got a 80GB ipod classic. It was working fine untill last night when it froze while i was syncing it. whenver i plug it into my computer (macbook pro (10.4.10), the ipod recognizes that its been plugged in and the "do not disconnect" icon appears. this is the point where the ipod freezes. the computer never responds and the ipod icon does not appear in itues or as an external drive. I then disconnect the ipod and reset it which makes is work normal again (untill i try to sync).
I had been experimenting with putting text files on the ipod and i think that might be what caused the problem. Is there a way to restore teh ipod without doing it through itunes? it seems like this would solve the
problem.
The ipod software is version 1.2.1
thanks in advance

this sounds like a variation of the same problem from this "locked" thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5324590
since I could not reply there I wrote a message to the support team and am copying it here to encourage others to do the same, and as a guide for the type of language and attitude that is needed to get a response to this issue. (ie calling and yelling/cursing/threatening gets you nowhere) feel free to use any portions of it you wish in your own message, as this is an issue that apple needs to address on a large scale instead of one at a time returns for units that don't perform any better.
"Dear Apple,
My 80 Gigabyte iPod Classic is freezing during navigation in ITunes, and seems to be following the pattern of other complaints from this forum on the Apple Support Discussions page http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5324590
I just purchased the iPod new from TigerDirect.com within the last two weeks, and am very disappointed with it's glitchy behavior in iTunes. I also have a 30GB iPod Video that I'm using with ITunes with absolutely no problems whatsoever. It seems that this is a widespread problem that would be best addressed with a firmware update or a recall, as telephone tech support and apple "genius bar" employees either don't know of the problem and have no resolution. Those that are aware consider it a small and isolated occurance (either innocently or by instruction from superiors). This is a serious issue when considering the relatively large value of a new iPod, the large share Apple currently has in the portable media device market, and what I'm sure is Apple's interest in continuing to lead this market with innovation and quality. The number one complaint people have with Microsoft is instability and crashing. Please don't ignore this problem and let Apple's reputation and quality drop to their level. Apple has a responsibility to fix this issue for all affected, and to do so quickly and courteously. Please forward this message to any and all superiors that may be able to resolve this issue when dead ends are met.
Thank You"

Entire computer freeze while running Safari in OS X Mavericks

I honestly can't recall the last time I've had a full "system freeze" on this or my two previous MacBook Pro laptops. But now it's happened twice in the past couple weeks, both times while running Safari and under OS X 10.9.2. This is the sort of freeze where the only thing I could get to function was the trackpad or bluetooth mouse. I could move the mouse around but couldn't click on anything. Nor could I request a Force Quit as none of the pulldowns worked, nor would <option><command> <esc> bring up any menu. I closed the lid but the computer wouldn't even go to sleep. My last resort was to hold down the power key until the machine shut down which worked. I restarted and it came up ok. I am about to go stare at the system log but haven't done so yet.
Might this be a Mavericks issue?? I am running the latest 10.9.2 and I've been running that for both of these recent events. Anyone seeing this??? Again both times it happened while Safari was up and running so I suppose it could be a Safari issue but I am most often on Safari anyway so it's a bit premature to blame Safari.
Any thoughts???
thanks... bob..

Bob,
I've had Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, a 2009 MacBook and an iMac since the day it was released and have installed updates up to and including 10.9.2 on the dates each update was released. Safari is my primary browser and I use it a lot. I have not experienced such a problem on any of the 3 computers. I have been very pleased with the performance of all 3 machines.
Since the problem is so random on your system, it will probably be difficult to diagnose. If you have not done so, possible a clean install from the Recovery Partition will fix the problem.

Report "freeze" - while running through Appplication

Hi folks,
we have a report that runs fine through report builder and while running it through application except the one institute.
In that institute, where data amount is even not as large as in testing database (or in any other institute), report freeze after while. When I run that report in this database through report builder then it's quick and without any problem - so I think it's not database problem, but could be some setting on report's server.
We tried to extend cache size from original value 50. After increasing cache size in config file to 600 (in .../reports/conf folder rep_rerver.conf file <property name="cacheSize" value="600"/> ) report runs fine (there were no change in report on in testing data amount during all testing process) . Normal value that we have in other institutions (config files for other databases is 50 - where this amount is enough)
We don't want lo leave this value on 600, but at the moment we don't know what other parameters can have something to do with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tomas
