IPod freezes while playing

Hello, I'm having some troubles with my iPod.
I've had it for a few months now, and whenever I play certain songs, my iPod stops playing part of the way through the song and lags severely when I try to push any buttons. When this happens, I can hear and feel things happening inside of it, as if it's working or loading something. If I just let it do what it feels it needs to do, then it starts playing again eventually, usually after about a minute. It's not the files because all of my songs work fine in iTunes. Another thing I should probably note is that right after it starts working again, the battery indicator drops to near empty, then goes back up to a probably more accurate level after a few minutes.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi, I found this solution on another message board. I am trying it today. Please let me know how it works for you.
Guess what ... i finally found the solution!
The Mac technician said i'll need to replace the board which is more than half the price of my IPOD. So i decided to give it my best.
all this while i was treatin it like an IPOD & was thinkin that the harddisk could have a problem i.e. bad sector something. But then I treated it like a hard disk. So I’m guessing that this should work with all IPODs that come with harddisk.
I’m using windows XP, so I don’t know how it’s gonna work for Mac users.
But I guess they kinda have similar applications like scan disk/error checking.
So this is what you do… I’m gonna tell ya all I did.
Backup your music.
Remove all IPOD Application (i.e. I Tunes, Ipod updater … etc)
Restart your computer
Plug you ipod and format it (Goto “My Computer” right click on your IPOD and click on format. Do not select “Quick Format”. The normal format took about 20 mins on my 30GB. File system should be Fat32)
Once you’ve formatted your IPOD unplug it from the computer & turn it off (hold “play” button for a few seconds and it should go off)
Installation
Get the CD that came along with your IPOD use that to install I Tune.
As you insert the Disk, the autorun starts the installation wizard while that’s progressing plug in your ipod. And your computer will re-install it.
After the installation is complete your IPOD wil have the the factory settings & the firmware. Even after you format your IPOD it still has the factory firmware.
Note. The old I Tunes (green icon) might not work because you had a newer version on your computer before.
This is where I disconnected my ipod and scrolled around played games, tried in and out of menu’s and it was working perfectly. That’s when I installed the new iTunes.
But I did not update the firmware because that’s what caused my IPOD to start freezing.
Hope this works for ya guys. I know how it feels without music. I’m so addicted to it!
If you have any questions feel free to email me [email protected]

5th generation ipod freezes while playing music and syncing

i have a 5th gen ipod.its about 3 years old.i had no problems with it until recently.while playing music or podcast the i have noticed that weird whirring noises come from the ipod.the music or podcast plays but the buttons dont work.like if i try to pause or go back to the menu.also the battery drains out.while playing a video it freezes.
i have restored it several times.still the problem persists.
restarting the ipod doesnt solve the problem as it freezes again.
even removing the files that freeze doesnt solve the problem.please help

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

IPod freezes while playing video

I just got a new 60GB iPod video, put an invisible shield on it, and synced it with my computer. I've had an iTunes account for a while, so I downloaded some of the tv shows they have in the store. I also downloaded dvd decoder and videora to convert some of my dvd's.
The Problem: when I play movies on my iPod that I ripped from dvd's (whether the movie is 1 minute long or 2 hours), they freeze 31 seconds in every time. Then they start playing again after about 5 seconds but with no sound. If I let it continue to play, it will not freeze. Then if press menu and click on the movie again, it will start playing with sound from where it left off, but freeze again after 30 seconds. But all the tv shows that I downloaded from iTunes play through without a problem. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks a lot.

IPOD FREEZING WHILE PLAYING TUNE

Got 20GB [U2 spcl edition] this time last year. Few months ago began freezing 8-15 seconds into a tune. Recently went through My Music and deleted every song/album that seemed to freeze iPod. Repeatedly RESET iPod by toggling Hold button. Recently saved all My Music files, deleted iTunes, downloaded and reinstalled iTunes and then RESTORED iPod. Not freezing as much but still freezing. Any thoughts of how to solve? Does this sound like hardware rather than software problem?

Nevermind I figured out that the hard drive was failing and corrupting the video files.

Movie freezes while playing. Lasts for several minutes and continues to happen throughout movie.

Movie freezes while playing on Apple TV. Will remain frozen for several minutes and happens repeatedly throughout movie.

Could be related to interference. Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify. If on wifi try ethernet.

Ipod freezes when playing video through dock

Okay, this is a challenging one. I will be surprised if someone can help me figure this one out, but I will be very grateful!!
Picked up a brand new 60gb 5th generation video ipod the other day. 1.1 update already installed. Everything worked great. Was able to play videos through the AV dock, no problem, and was able to hook it up to the JBL stereo for the ipod, no problem.
Here is where it gets interesting. I took an avi video from my digital camera, and used Quicktime Pro to convert it into a .mov Apple Quicktime movie. I am using Windows XP. I then imported that .mov movie into itunes. Then I right clicked on the file and told itunes to convert it into the ipod format. I then hooked the ipod up to the computer, and the video was transferred to the ipod with no problems.
Then I was able to play the video with no problem on the ipod screen (not hooked up to the AV dock). Then I inserted the ipod into the AV dock that is hooked up to my tv. I played videos this way without a problem, before I loaded this new home made video. When I played the new video, I answered Yes to Tv Out, and right after that point my ipod froze up. No video played at all. Then I had to reset my ipod.
I tried this again several times, with the same result. This was now happening with regular videos that I downloaded from itunes. Also now, when I hooked the ipod up to the JBL stereo, and just tried to play a song, the ipod would freeze up. However, songs and videos play fine when the ipod is not hooked up to a dock.
It seems to me like my home made video somehow corrupted the software drivers for the port on the ipod.
Then to fix the problem, I finally had to do the dreaded RESTORE. I could not update the ipod, because I was already at version 1.1. I tried rolling back to an earlier version, but the updater told me that the update was not compatible with my ipod.
The RESTORE did fix the problem. The ipod was completely back to normal. I could hook it up to the JBL and the AV dock with no problems. Until...yes, I tried playing the home made video again. I just wanted to see if it was a fluke. Same problem came back....arrghhh!
He is another weird observation. I can start the video playing on the ipod, without it hooked up to the dock, and answer Yes to tv out. The video starts playing, then I can insert the ipod into the dock, while it is still playing, and the video plays fine on the tv, through the dock! Until the video finishes. Once the video finishes, the ipod freezes up again.
I wonder if this is a hardware problem, and I should just return my ipod. It seems like a software problem to me. I think if it is my home made video that is corrupting my ipod, I think itunes should be smart enough to not copy something to my ipod that is going to corrupt it.
Ha..ha...wow, sorry that was very long-winded. Anyone have any suggestions?
Dell Dimension 2.8ghz P4 Windows XP 2.25GB of RAM

All I can suggest is to re-encode the video as m4v with QT Pro, there might've been a problem in encoding. Also, try sending this same video (setting TV Out to Yes) with the iPod not plugged into the dock and with an Apple RCA cable, if you have one, hooked up to a TV. If that works, the dock connector might be damaged (unlikely) but it's possible. So once you've re-encoded, see if the dock situation works then. Good luck.

Nano freezes while playing

This has happened twice since I got the nano 3 weeks ago. While playing a song the unit freezes. Music stops, screen stays on, and all buttons are non-responsive. Can not even turn it off. Toggling the hold button does nothing. It eventually goes off when the battery discharges totally. I have not had a chances to connect to my computer when this happens as it has been with my daughter both times while at school Tried resetting after the first incident and thought it was OK until it happened again today. What is the problem and is there a fix? Anyone else have it happen to them? Thanks.

My ipod experience has not been crash hot from day one. After my mini crapped itself I decided to purchase a nano instead of spending $100+ to fix the mini. I was investigating them for two weeks asking shop people from Apple stores to department stores what they knew about them and the life expectancy of that model. No one knew anything claiming Apple just release a new model onto the market without telling anyone much at all. Anyway I purchased a nano and sure enough 7 days later the nano mkII was realeased onto the market making mine out of date very quickly. From day one it was randomly skipping sections of songs and I thought it was a little odd for an mp3 player. When it was only about 5 weeks old it went to some wierd screen and totaly froze. It would go through the motions of resetting but it wouldn't work. Then the click wheel stopped all together. I took it to apple, waited while the service dept cleared the backlog of complaints and had mine taken away for testing. I was told it would take a couple of days to get a replacement if need be and everything would be alright. A week later and still no phone call so I contacted them and they said they had no idea what was going on or when a replacement would turn up. They could not give me a replacement from the shop because that was "not procedure". I rang apple, ended up in India and with the lady on the other end of the phone reading off the standard response sheet. I had her put me through to Sydney who told me they were sorry for the delay but they are expecting a shipment in 10 days. I was then told if I didn't have a new ipod within a week to ring back and they will see what they can do. HELLO!!! No shipments for 10 days!! Why would I expect to have one within 7 days and why can't you do now what you would do in 7 days??? UGGGH! Now that ( i assume ) they are not making any Gen 1's anymore can I expect to get a refurbished one as the web site states may happen? The whole experiece with apple just gets worse and worse.

IPOD freezes during play or turns off by itself or the music plays very slo

hey i had my ipod for almost 2 years now. its worked fine for awhile but recently, when i am playing my music it either
1) shuts off and turns itself back on
2) freezes and then the battery bar is reduced to nothing even after i charged it or
3) while playing music, its sounds really really slow, kind like when cassette tape is messed up or you are playing music really slow.
what should i do?

This just started happening to me today. I've had this iPod for about 7 months.
One thing I can think of, and it might not be much help, but I have not synced my iPod for a long time, since I rebuilt my system.
I have hesitated because I am afraid I might loss the contents of the iPod, so until I finish watching all my programs, I am hold tight.
Do you sync your iPod with your system frequently?

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system. If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating. Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

New MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6) Freezes while playing Portal, WOW, etc,

I have the new macbook pro that came out February 2011 with Mac OS-X 10.6, and I have encountered multiple problems with the computer running sluggish and freezing up in some applications. For example while playing Portal, the computer will get extremely hot and everything will freeze while the fan slows down, then it will come back, and about 5 minutes later it does it again. Same thing happens with WOW and I'm sure with many other applications. Even will run slow while watching tv on Netflix. It's ridiculous and unacceptable. Is there a news release with a factory defect or an update available to fix this overheating problem? Thanks

Is there a news release with a factory defect
Not that I am aware of. Check Google or call Apple Care as you are still under warranty.
or an update available to fix this overheating problem?

Zen Micro Freezing While Play

My Zen Micro is my second MP3 player. My first one was a 2.5 GB Rio Nitrus. It was everything I needed it to be until it started acting funny. It froze up a few times while playing. Then I went on vacation and a week later when I got back and tried to use it, it froze again only this time it wouldn't restart correctly. I'm worried that I might be coming into a similar problem with my Zen Micro. It has never frozen until today. I hadn't used it in a week, similar to what happened when my Nitrus went on me. It paused for about 20 seconds when I was running on the treadmill, and then later, it completely froze. The only thing I could do to reset it was take the battery out of the back. It appears to be fine now but it has me worried. Is there anyone who owns a Zen and experienced similar problems and should this be something I worry about? It especially ticked me off today because I just spent $20 last night for a new holster and belt clip for it. Anyone have any input?Message Edited by diesel6304 on 0-06-2006 08:29 PM

It might be because you were running on the treadmill and you experienced "head crash", where the heads reading the HDD inside your Micro hit the HDD itself. Best to not do that. I use it on the treadmill, but I only powerwalk on the treadmill......
Oh yeah, in addition, it's normal every now and then for it to freeze (okay, not normal normal, but unless it's doing it regularly, it's not really that much to worry about). I would suggest running a disc cleanup from the recovery mode.Message Edited by RMskater on 0-06-2006 0:53 PM

I have the same problem. FLAC files are stuttering as well, but that's already reported. It looks like it's a problem of the last update, since the old one was fine

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"

Ipod freezing while syncing large files

My 30GB ipod video will freeze while sycing large files such as movies or audiobooks. When this happens, you can here the hard drive in the Ipod making alot of noise. I think the drive is near death. Has anyone had a similar issue?
I'm using an Intel Imac (OSX) with a mac formated Ipod. I have rebooted the Ipod and have even done a factory reset in the past. It will fix it for a little while, but the symptoms return.

I wish i could but im having the same problem. please someone help us!!
