IPod shuts down in the middle of songs

I am on my second iPod touch due to this problem and I'm getting very frustrated.
I can either be on the internet, listening to a song, or scrolling through albums and the iPod will freeze for a second and go back to the main screen. This has been starting to happen a lot lately. For instance, on my half hour drive home from work it shut off 5 times in the middle of songs when I am not even touching it.
The battery is charged and I have the latest software on it.
Please help me...

+1. This happens occasionally for me. Been going on for a while both on iPhone 3G and 4.

See Here for,
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been randomely shutting down in the middle of a screen.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.

I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

My computer shut down in the middle of downloading a movie rental and after restarting my computer, the rental was deleted. How do I get it back without paying for it again?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away from where I live.

My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge now. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away and I depend on my phone to stay in constant touch with my child's specialist.

I've tried that several times. It will not reset. The screen just stays black. I've never had this problem before. It usually resets the first time.

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. Why?

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. This is very annoying. What is the fix?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process

i'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process. Whats the problem?

Hi TD,
Yes they do appear in full size and I can edit them. I've just realized that it's not just photos from the Net that are not appearing - it seems to be happening for all photos I've imported into iPhoto after a certain date.
After spending many more frustrating hours trying to work this out, I found that if I click all of the 'events' which contain the photos I'm after and then create a Book - all these photos appear in the selection window strip. However I still need to work out a proper solution as this still limits me to only those photos in the highlighted 'events' and no new pictures can be added to that particular Book.
Heeeelp please!

Randomly shuts off in the middle of songs.

My brand new nano randomly pauses and shuts off in the middle of songs...help!

Same thing happened to mine. Im trying to figure out if its under warranty but i dont remember the date i bought it on. i think its the headphone jack. This seems to be real common. Its supposed to pause when unplugged but mine doesnt. then when the screen goes to sleep it will pause. Real strange. Poor design. I hate the unplug pause feature for this reason. Mine will play if I keep my finger on the screen or keep it plugged into the charger.

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Why does my HP ENVY 7640 continually shut down in the middle of printing?

Why does my HP ENVY 7640 All-in-One printer continually shut down right in the middle of printing?

Hi @JE66,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Envy 7640 is continually shutting down during the middle of printing. I am happy to look into this for you!
Please, take a look through the steps within this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) Also I would suggest to watch this video:
It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Afterwards, I would also make sure that the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a great day!

Can I shut down in the middle of Applying privileges to secondary drive?

I've had it with this permissions and locked hard drive mess. I gotta get to work. I'd like to erase my secondary drives (Lacie 1.8TB). I tried to "Apply to Enclosed Items" in a desperate attempt to remove the lock and now it's taking forever to Apply. Can I just shut down the computer, restart and wipe the drive with disk utility? Or could shutting down in the middle of the Applying Permissions process damage the drive?

I made the mistake of doing this once, too (trying to apply new permissions to my Time Machine folders on a secondary drive), on my Mac Pro.
It took days - literally.

Ipod nano shuts off in the middle of songs

Received a 6th generation ipod nano for Christmas, and it frequently stops playing in the middle of songs and shuts down. Anyone have any ideas? Battery power is not the issue as it has happened with the battery at nearly full charge, and also with it at less than half charge. I can usually turn it back on again, but sometimes it is more difficult. Headphones are fully plugged in so that is not the issue. Is the device defective?

If you are positive the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones are flush with the Nano, also check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
Otherwise, bring it in for service as it may be a hardware malfunction with the headphone jack.

IPhone 5s shut down in the middle of the night.

My phone randomly shut off in the middle of the night, I'm not sure if it was just a glitch and won't happen again, but I want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. The phone was charging and I had to hold the power and home button down for about 30 seconds for it to turn back on. Could you tell me how to prevent this from happening again?

It's a computer, they're not perfect devices, sometimes they freeze. There's nothing you can do to guarantee it won't happen again. I would just ignore it unless it happens again. If it does, you can do the standard troubleshooting steps such as restart, reset, and restore.
