IPod freezing after update to 1.2, downgrade to 1.1.2 fixes it

I like many others was suffering with a dead ipod after update to 1.2, after many frustrating hours of resetting, restoring and reformatting, I decided to reformat the iPod and reinstall version 1.1.2 which can be downloaded from the downloads section. Following this my iPod is working fine.
Hurrah.

How did you reformat your iPod? I have been trying to do this, but after I attempt to sync my ipod and I press the restore button, it only tells me that
an unknown error doesn't let me restore it.
I thought that iTunes 7.01 would do the trick, but nothing happened.

IPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!!

iPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!! After installing version 1.2 the "do not disconnect" screen took forever to disappear, so i just removed the cables and it still remained

Apple just released firmware 1.2.1 for the ipod, you should try restoring your iPod again with that.

Firefox keeps slowing down/freezing after update, have to keep closing/opening it again to fix it, lose sound whenever it happens too

I think it's flash related, but i'm not sure. it doesn't crash/freeze completely, it just suddenly out of nowhere becomes excruciatingly slow, never did this before todays update

Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
Restart and run the combo updater.

However, you might need to reinstall OS X in the Recovery Drive. This process should not damage your data but it's always advised that you backup first.
If you don't have a clone backup it's time to start. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. You will need an external drive to backup your data.

Free space: It suggested you have a minimum of 10% free but this can vary depending on the size of the drive. When you get below 10GB free you need to start moving files off the drive.
You can keep your iPhoto and iTunes Libraries on an external drive. Hold down the option key when launching the app to point to the new library location.

I think it's flash related? I lose sound whenever it happens too, not just in the browser, the whole computer. as soon as I close/open firefox again, it's fine. Until it happens again, anyway. Never had this problem before today's update

IPod freezes after connecting to PC/iTunes

I think it's a common problem that iPods freeze after plugging in the USB cable. I don't know if it's working for others, but if i do a reset (hold menu plus select) on the iPod while it is plugged and iTunes is running it works. But i have to do this every time i plug it in... So much to years of software development...

"All of my songs that were numbered or had numbers in the title are not at the bottom of the songs list instead of being the first songs listed."
I assume you meant to say "now" at the bottom of the list?
Unfortunately, like it or not this how the latest version of iTunes sorts songs. Numbers now appear at the end of the listings.

Ipod freezes after sync

Hey F.hodgkiss,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

5G 60 Gig iPod freeze after fully charged...

My iPod freezes after a full charge. This usually happens after about 8 or more hours of leaving the power plug in, and occurs more often if the ear buds are plugged in. A simple reset wakes the iPod.
Have you experienced this?
Thanks!

They are partially charged. An hour is about right,
no cause for alarm.
how about the usual charging time? how long is it? mine is like an hour, and it is already full after that. is that ok?

Ipod freezing after not using it for 2 days

my Ipod freezes after not using it for 2 days, should i go to the apple store and get a new 1, or is this normal. If i do go to the apple store, i would probably get a nano right since they dont sell mini's anymore

What do you mean it "freezes". After 36 hours of inactivity the mini will go into 'deep sleep' mode. When awoken from deep sleep, the iPod will appear to reset. Is this what yours is doing? If so, it's normal.
Also, Apple still has a stock of minis available for warranty claims, so you wouldn't get a nano.
Cheers!

Wifi doesnt work on iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

The wifi doesn't work on my iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this did not work, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If still no luck, this might be a hardware problem and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

Video Freezes after Update to 1.1

Video freezes after 20 seconds of play and then resumes with no audio after upgrading to 1.1.
From what I've read, this seems to be a problem when video has been converted using a third party software. It seems at this point, the only way to remedy the situation is to downgrade to 1.0. Here's how to do it without having to restore your ipod:
http://www.digg.com/apple/Howto_downgrade_to_older(iPod)firmware_WITHOUTrestoring
Just as a note, I called applecare and my technician was clueless about the problem. She was telling me to send it in, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't a hardware problem, just a problem with the upgrade, as people on many other forums are reporting it. In that case, you probably won't get much help calling customer service just yet. Hopefully they'll put a fix out for it soon.

IPod freezes after power on--can't restore!

I just received a replacement 5th Gen. 30GB iPod. I updated iTunes, and plugged in my iPod to sync. At first, the iPod was not recognized, and I discovered in my Device Manager (Windows XP Pro) that a driver needed to be re-installed. I updated the driver, and restarted my pc. I re-connected the iPod, iTunes opened, and updated my iPod with my library. After the update was complete, the iPod screen still showed DO NOT DISCONNECT, so I waited about 5 minutes, then pressed the eject button next to the iPod in the sources menu. The source disappeared, but the iPod still showed DO NOT DISCONNECT. I disconnected it from my pc, and tried to power it off, but to no avail! I tried 8 times to reset it, and finally, it did so. The iPod restarted, and immediately froze on the menu screen. It wouldn't respond to power off and only reset after multiple attempts (on a flat surface, pressing menu away from the center, etc.) I closed iTunes, reconnected the iPod to the pc, and iTunes opened, recognized the device, and updated. The DO NOT DISCONNECT would not go away again. I tried this again, after resetting the iPod and closing iTunes, to attempt to restore the iPod, but it freezes, and does not restore. The iPod was fully charged when I started, and I have tried multiple USB ports on my pc. I have a 2G Nano that syncs just fine, so I'm not sure what else to check on the pc, if anything. The iPod will power on with no trouble, but it still freezes on the menu screen and requires several attempts to reset. Any ideas before I have to pay to send this replacement iPod back to Apple? Your help is very much appreciated!!

I have the EXACT same problem as well. I just got a replacement iPod. I plugged it in the first time, transfered my library and updated the software to 1.2. When i tried to disconnect it, my ipod just hung at the 'Do not disconnect' screen. It simply wudnt disconnect. I pulled out the plug directly and restarted my iPod, but it keeps hanging. I restart it using Menu and Center buttons, and it hangs within seconds of startup. I cannot even Restore it in iTunes because it KEEPS HANGING. I cant even do anything with it. Restart, hang. I really need help in this. Thanks.

IPod freezing when updating music/copying files

In the past few months I bought a new Mac Mini. When transferring files from my Mac at work and my roommate's PC at home, using the disk use option on my iPod, it would start to copy the files and stop part of the way through and freeze. There's no way to stop it once it freezes and I end up having to restart my computer. I have tried resetting the iPod to factory settings and reinstalling all my music. I'm using the latest iPod software and running iTunes 6.0.1. When it updates my songs, it does the same thing where it may get about 1000 songs in and then it locks up. When I restart the machine, it has to start from the beginning. The only way around this problem I found was to stop it every couple hundred songs and restart the update. It still freezes when using disk use if the files are big enough. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does it require servicing or is there something I should be doing?
Thanks!!!

I have been having a similar issue with my iPod since December. Whenever I plug the iPod into my computer to update the songs, it freezes after 20, 30, 40 songs or so. But I think I've discovered the source of the problem, at least in my case, so I thought I'd share it in case it helped anyone else.
I got an AirClick remote for the iPod for Christmas, which I use in the car. But for the sake of convenience, I've been leaving the receiver plugged in to the top of the iPod instead of removing it when I'm not using it. And ever since, it's been freezing when I update songs, but I never made the connection until yesterday. When I remove the AirClick receiver before docking the iPod to my computer, it updates as many songs as I would like (even thousands at a time) without freezing.
So if you have any devices plugged in to the top of your iPod, even the headphone remote, I would recommend disconnecting them before connecting the iPod to your computer.
Hope this helps somebody!
