IPod has frozen during OS4 download! HELP

Hi, was downloading OS4 to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch when things have gone drastically wrong it appears!
iTunes downloaded the updated fine, but as soon as it tried to updated the iPod, the iPod came up with the screen with the USB Cable, arrow and iTunes symbol. My computer preceeded to tell me it needed to look for a driver on a CD which I obviously don't have. Now iTunes doesn't recognise my iPod and my iPod is permanantly stuck in the screen as described above?
Please Help!

Well I've got my iPod back to normal. I tried plugging it into my desktop instead of my laptop but had the same problem. In the end I took it to my nearest Apple store and they plugged it in and straight away it came up with the restore iPod message! Never mind, all fixed now. It even still downloaded os4 and although I had to restore my iPod, I was able to use my last backup which restored my settings pretty much as I had them. It even left the browsers I had up at the time all setup!
Anyway, I'm happy now. My suggestion to everyone, if in doubt, take it to an apple store and let them sort it out, lol

Updated to 10.4.6 and computer has frozen during installation. Help

was prompted to install update of 10.4.6 but during the installation the computer has frozen. The little bar that shows progress of installation is almost at the end but computer is frozen. the mouse cursor moves but nothing else responds. no previous problems at all until this moment.

i have spoken to the apple shop where we bought the computer, they suggested restarting to see if it has hopefully installed properly. Any suggestion on whether this is ok to do or what else to try? any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Ipod has frozen I have tried to reset it but no luck, please help?

Let's ensure you are doing the reset process correctly.
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.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

My ipod has frozen and the wheel will not spin

my ipod has frozen and i cannot get the wheel to spin

Perhaps it would be a good idea to try a hard reset of the device. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If the issue still persists, you'll want to connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings allowing it to receive a fresh new copy of its software and rebuild all of its essential databases that could have become corrupt. This will help rule out a software issue.

New macbook pro has frozen during windows migration and can,t operate, new macbook pro has frozen during windows migration and can,t operate

trying to set up new macbook and has frozen during the process of using windows migration, now can,t get it to go

Try just holding down the power key to power off - you may have some files that migrated, maybe, maybe not.
You won't hurt anything - just have to try MA again if it doesn't work the first time.

Reset iPhone, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds time of holding both buttons. Then try again to get your Apps.

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

Try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Make sure itunes is updated to the lates version on the computer.

I'm having trouble with downloads of Aps. I have several that have frozen during the download. I can't delete them and resetting my iPad or trying the airplane mode has not helped. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble downloading Aps on my iPad . I have several that have frozen during downloading and I can't delete them. I've tried resetting my iPad, airplane mode and going through iTunes and Aps store, nothing has helped. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem, but different circumstances. Someone gave me their iPod nano to load with tunes. I, myself, don't own an iPod, and the flimsy booklet that came with this device is pointless -- no real info. Anyway, once it was charged, I chose tunes from my library to upload to the iPod, but the entire library began to load (not just the checked selections). I made several attempts to resolve this, including an attempt to restore the iPod to its original settings. Unfortunately, now the computer and iTunes will not recognize this iPod (when iTunes is open and iPod is connected, iPod does not appear in source list, and desktop only reads the device as "iPod", as opposed to what it was originally reading it as) and I can't even get back to the part of iTunes that asks me if I want to restore the iPod. Do I have to bring this to an Apple store, or is there anyone out there who can tell me how to resolve this? I tried the "5 R's" recommended by Apple, but they don't seem to work.

My Ipod has Frozen twice now

Half way through a song it has frozen on me and I've had to wait till the battery died once and the next time I took it apart and unplugged the battery. I also tried many times to plug it into my computer and reseting it many time with no change to the unit. Is there a reason for this to be happening? Ive only had it for 5 months. Is there a way I can get it to stop freezing or a better way then waiting for the battery to die?
Froger

Hey froger,
I have a couple of options here. None of these are guaranteed to work, but you've got nothing to lose by trying them.
First things first!
When the iPod decides to freeze, I want you to try the 5 R's. The instructions on how to do this can be found by clicking here : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/five_rs/
The other thing I could reccommend is that you dont have too many videos and photos, and you dont have over what your iPod can hold in terms of songs.
If none of these help, I suggest you call your nearest Apple store and tell them the situation. As it is within its warranty (you've only had it 5 months), they will try and fix it free of charge, and if they cant fix it, you have the right to ask for a brand new one, again, free of charge.
I hope this helps,
Ryan

What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
the force eject and then shut down.
2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Maybe I need another driver?
Or maybe some update to my OS?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.
