Ipod Frozen - HELP

My ipod mini was working fine i added another 30 songs to it and it was still working fine.
I safely removed the ipod from my computer and it froze.
It has frozen on the 'now playing' screen, none of the buttons work and it isn't actually playing anything.
So i reconnected it to the computer but the computer doesn't recognise it now.
I have tried the '5 R's' they don't help, i have been all through the apple website and can't seem to find anything.
Is there something simple that i'm missing?
Does this mean it won't turn off until the battery has run down?
And if so will this reset it?
And is my best bet to send it back under the warranty?
Thanks

If the computer won't recognize the iPod, try these.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.

Strange iPod behavior.
When restoring the iPod, put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Leaving the iPod to discharge for around 24 hours is a recognized troubleshooting step then try the 5 R's again.

  • Ipod frozen during sync

    Help ipod frozen with white connection lead, white arrow and itune symbol on screen. Can turn it off but every time it comes on it has the same image on the screen

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • Ipod frozen when updating

    I moved 500 cds from my emac (to free up some hard drive space) to an external hard drive. I changed my itunes preference setting in "advanced" to utilize the itunes library on the external hard drive. The library has been successfully "added" to the itunes program on the emac.
    When I try to update/sync my 40 gig clickwheel ipod, it freezes after updating any number of files (1489 the first try, 32 the second try, and 4409 the third.
    When it freezes, nothing works, even on the emac. Including force quitting itunes. I am forced to do a hard shut down which leaves my ipod frozen with the "do not disconnect" message. Restting it ususally works, but how am I going to ever get my music onto my ipod? Thanks for any help.

    Hello bandock,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried connecting the iPod Touch in *Recovery Mode* and then restoring it via iTunes? If not, see this article for more information on getting your iPod into *Recovery Mode*.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • MY 8 month old might have corrupted my ipod.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My 8 month old son corroded my USB cable by chewing on the ipod connector. Not realizing this, I come in, plug in my ipod, and get an error that the USB cable is corrupted. I unplug ipod and look at the cable. The part that goes into the ipod is green and crusty...definitely corroded. SO, i go buy a new cable: Dynex dock cable from Best Buy. Just plugged it in, and nothing happened, except my pc is charging my ipod. But no communication from the computer to the ipod. Nothing in windows, or itunes. My ipod still works fine in any other playback dock, it just doesn't allow data transfers from pc to ipod. HELP!!! Is my ipod f'd???????

    If you dare you could try cleaning the connector on the ipod - I would try some denatured alcohol on a tiny bit of clean cloth over the end of a really small screwdriver or knife. Carefully wipe both sides of the male connector blade that you can see in the connector port.
    You could also try simply plugging /unplugging the cable many times - the wiping action may clean the crud off. Blow on the connectors or use compressed air while you are doing it for good measure.
    If you are near an Apple store you could take it to them and have them try it with an Apple brand cable - that may have a better chance of making good contact.
    Good luck. I knew baby spit was nasty but I didn't think it was actually corrosive!

  • IPod frozen - cannot restart - makes strange noises whilst trying to charge

    my iPod is dying!
    the iPod froze while i was listening to my tracks and i tried to restart it (as i've done it before) and nothing happened. Then i noticed the icon that indicates that the battery is totally drained and i have to charge the ipod at least for 30mins before iTunes will recognize it again.
    Ive charged it now much longer then 30mins, that icon has disappeared as soon as i connected the ipod to my charger and there is the black screen with the white apple, the ipod did get warm, still makes strange sounds as if it restarts or something and the screen goes grey and empty back to black screen with white apple. it wont stop doing it.
    What is wrong with it???? Cant use public transport anymore without my ipod pls help, am desperate!

    thanks - tried but unfortunately didn't help. At the moment, when i try to charge it i get the battery sign for a little while, then the ipod restarts again. over and over again. iTunes still won't recognize my iPod.
    I've called technical support ("Hello, how's your iPod today? - well, what ya think when i call you guys???) and will go to the iPod store tomorrow in case they might be able to restore my iPod and recover the tracks that Ive got on it...fingers crossed.

  • One song is not syncing with ipod touch - help!

    it has synced the other songs I downloaded, but this one will not sync even though it is checked to sync, and appears in the playlist in iTunes. I've reset the iPod to no avail... it's an ipod touch 2nd gen.  I've also removed and re-synced the entire playlist and it simply will not put this one track on the iPod.  HELP!

    I am having the same problem as well.  One song, purchased from iTunes, will not sync to my iPod touch.  It was on it last week, now it is not there.  When I plug the iPod into my PC, the song is in my library and it shows it in the iPod playlist when connected to iTunes...but it is no where to be found on the iPod.  I have tried to delete it from the playlist, and put it back in the playlist and re-sync, but it still is not there.  It plays on my PC in iTunes.  Any ideas out there for this one song issue?  Thanks all.

  • "itunes cant read your ipod" please help :(

    my ipod died so I plugged it into my computer, like usual, to charge and when I came back there was an error message that read:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "mine". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
    so I did that, but then I got a new error message saying:
    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I'm connected to the internet though so I have no idea what to do and when I disconnected my iPod all of my music is gone, it's still on iTunes but I would like it back on my iPod
    any help would be appreciated!!

    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    [iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple TV (2nd generation) software update server|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814]
    (Slightly different message, but seems like it might be worth a try.)
