Ipod frozen - yet again =/

my ipod froze yet again, i have no idea why this time, but it's suck on the do not disconnect screen, i let the battery run out and charge it back up, nothing. Can't reset it either, ideas?
Windows also recognizes it as a drive, yet i cant access it(not named) and it just freezes windows explorer.

Did you 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 iPod frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ?

    My iPod seems to be frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ? Eventually I did disconnect. It's remains frozen and shows almost full charge.

    I'm having similar problems. Here is exactly what happens to me:
    I dock the iPod (I believe it is the 5th gen model, one of the first to play videos). Sometimes it syncs properly sometimes not. It will add songs not on my iPod, but it won't update the play count, last played, etc. The problem was fixed when I updated to a new version of iTunes (I believe it was 7.2 at the time, I could be wrong). So I played it off just being an iTunes issue. Well, with 2 updates since then, it has done it yet again. I've tried to restart the iPod using the menu+select key. It will work to remove the iPod, but it won't help in the future. The only way I can remove the iPod is to click on "Safely Remove Hardware." I know this isn't good for the iPod, but this is the only way that I can get the "Do not disconnect" icon off my iPod. Also, I tried to click "Eject iPod" (I've used this several times in emergency cases and worked wonders) but I get a message saying "iPod is in use by another windows program." I couldn't imagine what program is using my iPod. As far as I know, iTunes is the only program that can use the iPod on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My ipod is frozen yet i cannot reset it or restore it!! what do i do??!

    i accidently dropped my ipod and it became frozen, like i have dropped it before and i was able to restart it and it was working fine however after this time i dropped it i toggle the hold on and off, then hold down play and menu, and then try menu and select and still nothing. its weird because you would think that it would be completely frozen yet its not because the time still works and is correct, and it responds to the computer when i plug it in. could anything be wrong with my scroller or wheel? help!!

    I directed to go to this depot.info.apple.com/ipod site and i typed in all my serial info and apple id and agreeded to the terms etc and then after i signed in a page came up saying error with weird symbols. i called apple and they gave me this site in which i they send me a box and i send back my ipod to get a new one, but now i cant get through the the site, i ve tried a million times

  • Ipod frozen when connecting to PC

    Recently, every time I connected ipod to PC, ipod got frozen and I have to restart again which is helpless though, and my computer doesn't recognise ipod at all, though ipod is charging properly……God```Does it mean I have to keep listening to the same music forever.
    Actually. I saw someone with the same issue, is it because of Itunes 8.0? or nothing to do with itunes? just my ipod broke?
    Helpppppp

    On both computers is the newest software installed.
    When the ipod is stuck again and I press the center and te menu that works, I can use the ipod and listen to music as long as I don't connect to any computer (I even tried a third computer with a clean install of Itunes and Ipod software freshly downloaded)
    But when I try the center and play/pause butten it does nothing. I don't see a Disk mode appear???
    Since posting first message I tried several other things.
    When I first reset my Ipod and remove hardware in my pc and after that reconnect it with the Ipod updater waiting for connection, then after a while when xp sais 'new hardware successfully installed' the ipod updater lights up the restore butten. So apperently it sees a Ipod. So I pressed it but after 5 minutes or so the ipod updater says that is cannot set the ipod on locked because it is beeing used.
    So I shutted every process that was active down with Sysinternals ProcessNT (except for explorer and other mandatory processes) and tried again, but it did'nt work.
    Thank you for your comment looking forward about what you think of it?!?!?!

  • IPOD frozen on Apple Logo

    My IPOD died a couple of days ago. I had the same trouble as a lot of people reformatting my IPOD - it kept asking me to do it over and over again.
    I tried reformatting it in FAT32. When I went to try reformatting my IPOD in ITUNES again, it went through, but now the APPLE logo is frozen on my IPOD.
    I have been without my IPOD for about a week now and I am really starting to miss it.

    i got the same problem n when i reset it just shows the apple till my battery dies

  • I've followed all the instructions in order to restore my ipod touch yet it won't even turn off or show the red slipper to shut down. I've tried holding down both buttons each at a time it doesn't do anything. Anybody ever experience this? If so help?

    I've followed all the instructions in order to restore my ipod touch yet it won't even turn off or show the red slipper to shut down. I've tried holding down both buttons each at a time it doesn't do anything. Anybody ever experience this? If so help? Should I just go to the apple store?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod frozen on language

    My ipod nano remains frozen despite following all reset directions and installing new ipod software udater 2006. My nano remains frozen on "language" screen with "English" highlighted. Prior to installing the updater, it was frozen on the menu screen with "music" highlighted. It is charged to full power. My computer and itunes recognizes it and will download songs to it, according to my computer.
    I'm not sure what to do next.
    bbkk

    Well you said....
    "Then the "language" screen reappears and I'm frozen there again."
    .....so I thought your iPod was frozen on that screen. That's what you've been saying throughout this thread without any mention of the iPod screen turning off after 30 seconds.
    However, since the instructions about leaving the iPod to drain for 24 hours are contained in the Apple document "My iPod won't turn on", I think it applies to your situation also.
    If this doesn't solve the issue, it needs service, or at least visit an Apple store and let them take a look.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • Ipod disabled try again in 23257422 minutes message. how do i now use my ipod touch

    I have got the message "ipod disabled try again in 23...... minutes. Is there a fix for this

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
