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 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.

    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.

    Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

  • 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.

  • I was charging my ipod on my bose dock and my ipod screen is frozen and im trying to turn it off my nothing is working.

    my ipod screen is frozen....

    Hello ayesham007,
    What happens when you tried a reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Select and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once if no luck the first time.
    If that doens't help, you may need to wait for your iPod's battery to drain.

    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
    - Next try DFU mode and restore.

  • 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.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 screen is frozen on 'connected'

    I synced my ipod and then "ejected" it but left it attached to the computer in order to charge.  I then disconnected the ipod and got a message saying: The disk was not properly ejected and now my ipod is frozen on the "Connected" screen (saying Eject before disconnecting) with the image of the usb cord and when I reattach it to the computer, my computer doesn't acknowledge the device. HELP!

  • Ipod touch screen frozen

    My son's ipod screen is frozen in the "slide to unlock" mode. It's fully charged, but nothing happens when you try to slide to unlock. I'm able to connect it to my computer to back it up, but still nothing happens. Less than a year old, so it's covered under warranty, but if there's a fix out there, I'd like to try that first. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
