Ipod frozen after 1 month of use

i got my ipod for christmas; a brand-new ipod video. the past few days it has been going all slow and yesterday it went to the next song on the playlist when i clicked a song. (repetedly) then, just now, i charged it for about 3 hours, and it has been disconnected from the computer for about a half hour and it is stuck on the 'restart' screen with the apple. it wont respond! what should i do?

See this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

  • My iphone4 now has message activate your phone after months of use.  Any suggestions?

    Hi.  My iphone4 now has message activate your phone after months of use.  Any suggestions?  I don't want to lose anything on my sim preferably.

    The iTunes Store has never officially been available from the Channel Islands, which though a crown dependency are not (as far as the record companies are concerned, and they are the driving force behind these restrictions) part of the UK. The terms of use for the iTunes Store say that access to the UK iTunes Store from outside its country isn't allowed and it's possible that Apple is now enforcing that by technical means.
    Sorry, but you're probably stuck at this point.

  • Ipod frozen one month after warranty expired!

    I REALLY REALLY hope somoeone can help! I have the 40GB ipod that I got as a 2004 Christmas gift. I only use it when I go to the gym, so it hasn't been jostled around from frequent use. It has a protective case and resides in it's own compartment in my gym bag. Needless to say, it has ALWAYS been very protected.
    I pulled out my ipod to take it on vacation in January this year. I get on the plane, pull out my ipod and it's frozen. I've been trying these 5R's, but the best I get after several updates and resets is the language screen and this only happens when I move the hold switch from on to off. From there, nothing happens.
    Could it be a mere coincidence the timing of such an issue? Has anyone else had this happen and how on earth does apple get away with this?!

    I tried that a dozen times but buttons seem to be locked -
    Dead iPod Nano after Upgrade to iTunes 7.1.1.5.
    Immediately after upgrading to iTunes 7.1.1.5. and updating, charging, and syncing, my iPod does not function properly.
    Symptoms:
    _The click wheel does not seem to work any more. The hold switch is set correctly to the left position.
    _No response to a reset by holding menu / select buttons for 10 secs.
    _When iPod is plugged into my CPU it seems to act normally - the screen lights up briefly and displays the message "do not connect" as iTunes starts and syncs all checked songs like normal.
    _After the sync the iPod display a full battery icon.
    _When the iPod is unplugged from the CPU the iPod display is lit briefly, displays the menu where the user selects which language to use. There is a small icon that looks like a lock at the top of the screen. After about 15 secs the screen goes blank despite trying to scroll and make selections with the click wheel.
    _The iPod does not respond to the click wheel when in Itunes (which may be normal) or when disconnected (even after switching the hold switch back and forth several times).
    _The iPod shows up in iTunes and in My Computer.
    _Songs on iPod open in Windows Media Player and play OK when selected directly from My Computer.
    I tried resetting and upgrading the iPod several times from Itunes and also restoring ITunes 5 but no luck.
    This iPod (2g) is 15 mos. old and worked perfectly just prior to the upgrade to 7.1.1.5..
    Help!

  • Ipod frozen after reset

    after I reseted my ipod, I got the apple logo, but the ipod never moves on to the main menu. It is just frozen on the apple logo.
    Also, if I connect it to my PC, it is not recognized ...

    Have downloaded latest ipod update and instructed to plug into mains power (why ? what would be the sense of complicating a system by having varing power sources? which is what I thought original) but now i am comforted by the fact that the ipod doesn't recognise the mains power and neither does the PC now recognise the ipod. When I go on line for support Apple doesn't recognise the serial number of the ipod so after resorting to reboot as all else has failed to find that the ipod does recognise the reboot, just keeps coming back to asking for mains power. My ipod has become and expensive paper weight
    My ipod was purchased 21 Nov 04 suggestions at this point are
    1. Don't buy one
    2. If to late for one then if it isn't broken then don't try to fix it with updates.
    Any help?

  • IPod frozen after hibernation

    Hi,
    I noticed my iPod 80GB is always frozen after it "wakes" from hibernation.
    To wake him up, I press the select button 'till the Apple logo is shown. The initial screen is shown, but I cannot do anything.
    So, I have to reset it everytime it went into hibernation, and I think it's not right.
    Any momments?

  • Ipod frozen after playing every two MV

    It's so confused that my ipod always frozen after playing every two Avril's mv, with only a play and battery icon on the screen. For some reason it's perfectly ok when playing other mv and music. Nothing same happened.

    Tracy,
    Under the normal process, your iPod mini will show the running bar, indicating that it is trying to complete the restore process. Try to do a restore again and plug it to the AC charge striaght away. You may need to do several attempts

  • IPod Frozen after update

    After trying to update my iPod mini to 2005-09-06 I was told to plug my iPod into a wall outlet using my connector. I did that and although the iPod responds everytime it is plugged in by showing the apple logo it goes straight to a picture of plugging the iPod into a wall outlet and wont change from that. After awhile the screen just goes blank. I have tried reseting the iPod and have successfully seen the apple logo screen but every time I get to the same freeze point. I am wondering what I should do.

  • IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

    I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
    Please Help.

    I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
    Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

  • Ipod frozen after...

    my touch is frozen...however i can turn it on and off by holding the switch and home button at the same time. When it does turn on. it shows the apple, a thin line of greens and blues above it, and the white rotating wheel, which eventually freezes as well.
    All this came after, i went onto Jailbreakme.com (which is a LEGAL jailbreaking now) and downloaded Cydia. i wanted to get rid of it after 10 minutes tho, it didnt feel right. So i went under settings, hit reset all content and settings. and after it took that 30 minutes or so to delete all my stuff. i went to turn it on. and the screen keeps coming up as i described it above. I tried to go on my itunes and restoring it. but it wont recognize it as plugged into my PC. HELP?

    Ok. That happened to me. I plugged it into itunes when it loaded, and it eventually recognized it for a minute then the ipod restarted. What I did was when it loaded into itunes, I clicked restore, and it restored it in time. Plug your ipod in and wait (maybe 5 or 10 min). Then click restore IMMEDIATELY.My mac said it could not recognize the ipod, but showed it in iTunes anyway. Try this.

  • IPod frozen after playing videos

    I was watching all my music videos. After the first video finished the second video did not start. The screen is black and the buttons do not respond. I can tell the screen is on. I tried to reset the iPod by cycling the hold button and holding the menu and select button for 10 seconds but nothing happened.

    Did some experimentation and found it is likely the encoding method. The 4g nano is very finicky with mpeg-4 files for video. The codec that seems to work best is H.264.
    The dumb part is that all four of my other ipods have no issue, but I will have to reencode every movie I want to use with this new ipod. Almost makes me want to try out a Zune.

  • Video iPod frozen after static electricity charge

    Was playing a movie on video iPod connected to TV when I touched the iPod and got a small static shock....the TV screen went white and the iPod is now frozen. Does not respond to connection to iTunes or AC charger; buttons do not work either. Plugged the cables back into iPod but to no avail.
    Am I out of luck? I do have the Apple Protection plan. Any suggestions at this point?
    thanks!

    I had virtually the same thing happen to me tonight. I was sorting laundry with my iPod on. I pulled a sheet out of the laundry basket, heard a few crackles in my earbuds and the music stopped. Pulled the iPod out and -- blank white screen. iTunes recognizes the iPod, but the update didn't help, and resetting hasn't helped, either. What did you end up doing?
