IPod is Frozen

I've had my 30MB iPod for several weeks now. I have downloaded several books, a movie and 50 CD's as well as a game from i-tunes. This evening I was playing the game and the unit "froze" in mid stream. I immediately connected it to my computer, and it indicated that it was connected by a "ding ding". However, in my i-Tunes window, the i-pod is not showing up.
How do I reset the i-Pod without the i-Tunes recognizing it? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm leaving the country in a couple of days and was really looking forward to having my very own entertainment with me. I did not purchase it from a store, but rather from a machine at a local grocery store. HELP

lmao. Stupid grocery machine stores. I know which ones you're talking about...I see 'em at Vons all the time. So umm, yeah. press and hold Center Button and Menu button at the same time until you see it shut down and restart.

Ok...My Ipod is frozen, what next???

My Ipod is frozen. I've tried resetting it. I've tried downloading the updater. I've hooked up to both my computer and USB adapter. I'm out of answers. I only have questions. This Ipod is not that old. It's a 20gb with only 1600 songs on it. What trips me out is that my mini NEVEr gave me any problems.
So...what do I do now?

My iPod is frozen at the start-up logo. How can I fix this?

My iPod is frozen at the start-up screen logo thing, and it just won't continue to the menu.
I've tried restarting it by holding the select button and the menu button, and it restarts but just ends up at the same frozen screen.
PLEASE HELP
Regards,
Desperate Cygurd

I've actually managed to fix this by unplugging the speakers and turning up the volume for the internal speaker. I found this solution on the following link.

My IPod nano (older version) is frozen, so I can't do anything, and all of the online "help" things say that the IPod icon should appear under "Devices" but it's not, and because the IPod's frozen... What should I do???

Ipod Touch frozen with Apple logo & loading bar below!

My laptop shutdown while my Ipod was updating software. It is frozen with the apple logo & the loading bar below. When I turned my laptop back on, it will not recognize my Ipod. This means I cannot even try restoring it. I have unplugged & plugged back in & tried holding the buttons on the Ipod for 10 seconds. I'm not sure what to do! Help please!

IPod touch frozen and itunes cannot detect iPod?

It just began with me connecting my iPod to my mac and a window popping up saying "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly, and you must manuually eject the ipod before each disconnect".I didn't know how to update it again (because my itunes is the lastest version already). You can't even see the contents (music, apps, books) of my ipod on itunes. I forgot to eject it manually today and now my ipod is frozen on the homescreen where all the apps are. Its been frozen for like an hour. I've tried holding the off button but to no avail.Now... my frozen ipod doesn't even show up on itunes. I need help!! (its a pretty old ipod touch with no camera)

Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, untilt he Apple logo comes back again? If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

My Ipod is frozen with the appel symbol on ?
I have tried the hard reset with no luck.
The problem apperd after that i started a sync from Ipod to PC

What happens when you follow the instruction in the link I provided?
If it still shows the log, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try it again.
If the logo still shows that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

30G Ipod video frozen

I hope someone can help me my ipod has frozen it shows "Do Not Disconnect". The battery is full and the hold padlock is shown in the top left corner. I have tried a reset and nothing happens?
Can somene tell me what I need to do?

Ok, I am useless with the whole ipod thing, but that exact thing happened my within the first week of my new 30g. What I did was let the ipod drain its battery over night and when it was dead, I pluged it into my laptop and it worked ( i.e. wasn't frozen on the "do not disconnect" anymore), but not too well, so in itunes I restored factory settings and then had to start downloading from the beginning (not to bad for me as only a week old and everything still in library)
Would drain it anyway and see how you go

HT1363 my ipod was frozen but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about that?

my ipod was frozen, but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about it?

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

"this game cannot be launched" and ipod is frozen

Ipod says, "this game cannot be launched" and ipod is frozen. it is a 160 gig clasic. any thoughts?

Usually a hard reset takes care of this issue. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Any luck there?

Help everyone..anyone! My ipod is frozen and my computer does not detect.

Hi everyone I'm very disappointed to say that my ipod photo has been frozen for the past few days. First off, I accidentally disconnected it while plugged into the computer, and now my computer won't recognize the ipod at all. It says that "the device has malfunctioned" and to make matters worse, my ipod is frozen on the main screen. I tried charging it using my wall charger, but it didn't work. I tried pluging it in using usb but the usb doesnt recognize my ipod either. Somehow when my ipod is connected and i start Itunes..it doesn't work and it doesnt read my ipod photo.
So..Im stuck here and if I can't fix this I'm pretty much done for because I'd have to send it back to Apple.
Thanks guys.
Oh and I tried restoring the ipod too but everything says that my ipod isn't connected!

Have a look at these.

It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
