Ipod Screen Frozen... HELP!!!

I was walking on my treadmill tonight and I tried to play a song... now my Ipod is stuck on the "Now Playing" Screen and won't respond to anything!! The blue icon in the top left says it's playing but the song is at 0:00 and it isn't doing anything. It's got a full battery and was working just fine moments before.
Please help me... it's my baby!! I've tried everything - switching HOLD on and off, resetting it, and plugging it in to my computer -- nothing works.

*I'm sick of the 5 R's answer to everything.*
Actually, the "5 Rs" does correct many problems. Further, many posters describe their problem with the claim "I've done everything" when they really haven't. It doesn't make sense to go to heavy-duty investigation when the basics have no been performed.

You may need to reset it. Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 10 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.

IPod touch (1st gen) Screen frozen Help!?

So ive had my ipod touch for about 2or3 years now, its been working great since. No problems whatsoever.
But today when i was putting it in the ihome dock the "slide to power off" screen came on and i pressed the cancel button and it froze so i left it a while like that to see what happens. So its been 4hours now and its still stuck on the screen. the touchscreen isnt working. But when i press the home button i can see the background change a bit.
Is there a way to restart your ipod without touching the screen or how can i fix this?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried these?

Ipod screen frozen

Hi, I have a brand new ipod 30 gb. it has been working fine until i enabled disk use and tried to put a rtf file onto my ipod. i did this and i connected my ipod with my laptop a second time and then when i disconnected, the screen was frozen on "do not disconnect" and now when i connect the usb it doesnt recognize it on my laptop at all. any ideas anyone? is there a way of resetting the ipod or something like that? thanks!

What it sounds like here is the reason the do not disconnect icon is still being displayed on your screen is usually a indication that it was unplugged to while it was transfering data or without being ejected the proper way. What you can do though is try resetting the ipod first which with your model ipod is by holding the select button (the center button for those that dont know) and the menu button for 6-10 seconds then the apple logo will appear and your ipod will reset

IPOD TOUCH FROZEN HELP?!

Right, so i tried opening an app on my ipod touch (The new one) and it froze. So i tried to reset the device by holding the home button and the lock button. this is when the screen went blank and it stopped responding. I tried plugging it into the computer but it wont even regognise that i've plugged it in! it wont respond to anything i do! someone please help??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod is frozen HELP ME

Ipod comes on but is stuck on the lock menu, tried restarting and it won't do anything, will not unlock or anything frozen.

First try some simple troubleshooting. Try resetting the iPod by holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons, ignoring the red power slider. Keep both buttons held until it reboots. and the Apple logo screen appears. This will not erase any data, settings, or info.
Make sure your iPod is charged enough. If you cannot charge it, try using different cables and plug adapters, if available. Also try using various outlets and cable/adapter combinations.
Try restoring through iTunes (assuming that your computer recognizes your iPod). This will erase all of your data and settings, but everything will be synced back at the end of the restore if you have backed up your iPod. Make sure your library is on your computer and you have backed up your iPod, which occurs at the beginning of every sync. For the first restore attempt, when iTunes prompts you to either restore from a backup or set up as new, then choose to "Restore from the backup of..." If the problem is not fixed then restore again, this time choosing to set up as a new iPod. If your computer doesn't recognize your iPod, then try recovery mode. To do this, turn it off, press and hold the home button, and plug it in to your computer via the USB cable. Hopefully, the screen showing a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon will appear and you can do a restore from there, as iTunes should recognize the iPod in recovery mode.
If you are unable to get the problem fixed, make an appointment at an Apple Store to get it replaced. If it is under warranty, then it will likely be replaced at no charge.

Hardly able to see iPod screen- Please help

I recently downloaded the newest update for my iPod and shortlyafter my iPod went black. It works fine but I can hardly see the screen. It is like the light in my iPod went out. I have tried to restore it and have done all of the suggestions on the support page but I still cannot figure it out.
Any Ideas? Please help

I just got the newest iPod Touch 32G and from time to time the screen dims so much I can't read it. This happens even on a fully charged battery. This happens randomly and nothing I do fixes it. The screen brightens up on its on after a few minutes. I also checked the brightness setting, which has no effect on it. I'm wondering if I should consider taking it back for exchange.

ITunes Locked On iPod Screen PLEASE HELP!

Okay, so I recently bought a new computer, and I downloaded all of my iTunes software onto the new one. My other computer doesn't even turn on anymore, so I can't access it at all to back up my files. I have 85 songs on my iPod. (It's a nano, if that makes a difference.) When I plug my iPod into my computer, it charges fine, and it says Do Not Disconnect for a while, but nothing updates. iTunes does recognize it, but when I click on it in the side bar in iTunes, all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them. Then at the small bar on the bottom which tells you how much space is taken up on your iPod, it has a little lock next to it. I am assuming my iPod is locked. The hold button is NOT on. I tried resetting it, by just switching the hold button, and holding the menu and select button, and it reset, but it doesn't work. I had my friend plug in HER nano, and all her music is normal and it is not locked. (There isn't a lock symbol near the memory bar at the bottom.) I think I may have locked it by accident and I don't know how to unlock it!! All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer.
PLLLLLEASE HELP! I WANT IT TO WORK!

"all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
"All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer."
In manual mode you will be able to drag and add songs to your iPod. However you can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod.

IPod screen frozen, tried various steps at resetting it.

My iPod has randomly frozen on a particular song today, refusing to allow me to press anything to sort it out. I've tried the whole "menu and centre button" thing to sort it out, with no success. Tried plugging it into the computer, which does nothing and iTunes no longer recognises its presence. What do I do? I've only had the iPod for a short while and it's already playing silly buggers with me.

See this.
How to reset the iPod.
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.

Ipod is frozen HELP! SOS!
