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 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

(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.

  • 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?

  • 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 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.

  • 60gb ipod frozen after plugging into second computer

    I plugged my son's 60 gb ipod into my computer, but my computer asked me to erase his sync settings and sync it to my computer.
    I said no, the computer failed to recognize the ipod, I shut the computer down and unplugged it.
    Now his ipod is frozen, and holding the menu and center buttons does nothing.
    When he plugged into his usb port, the ipod made whining noises that also projected through his computer.
    I have itunes 7.0.2 (15) on my computer, he has 7.0.1 (7)

    First plug your mini on an USB-Power adapter NO PC!!
    Than normally it will start, load the mini's battery for a while.
    Than instal the latest version of itunes on your pc.
    Open itunes than plug your mini in...
    And it normally shows up.. Restore and done!
    When it doesn't work the mini has a wrong format! That happens when you restored it on a mac!!!
    Maybe you've done that. Than plug it into a mac open Disc-Utility than change the format to FAT.
    Than again in your windows and will it work...
    Ask again when it won't or you does'nt understand

  • 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 Clearing data.

    I cleared the data on my ipod and now it has been stuck on the loading ring for an hour. What should I do?

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still problem then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
