My ipod touch is frozen on a screen with the ipod logo and the usb charger cable...i cannot get rid of it...i let the battery die...i held the sleep button and the power buttons..anyone have any ideas?

my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???

Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.

My Ipod touch is frozen. Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes. What is the problem? This is the second one I have had that has done this!

My Ipod touch is frozen. The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes. What is the problem? This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem. HELP!

This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup. You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup. If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

TS2771 my ipod touch is frozen with the apple logo on the screen, won't turn off, have already reset it and it still sits the same...logo on screen. Can anyone help me out?

My IPOD TOUCH is frozen with the Apple logo sitting there on the screen. I have already reset the ipod because it was freezing up so I reset it, but now it won't shut off or got o main screen it just sits with the logo on it. I can't turn it off. The screen will also flash as though it will turn off then goes back to the logo screen. Does anyone know what the heck is going on with my IPOD? It's reall frustrating me...ALOT!!!

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again
- If still not successful, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch is frozen after firmware upgrade

Hi, I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, running firmware 2.2 with Windows XP.
Yesterday I upgraded the firmware to 3.1 from the iTunes store. After downloading the installing the firmware, I got the itunes error 1601 and now, the iPod is perpetually frozen with this screen:
http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1808/HT180803.png
The iPod device is not detected in iTunes anymore. Also, the 'Found New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up and then it tries to search for the driver but cannot locate it, whenever it tries to search it comes back saying "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot locate the necessary software". I checked the Device Manager and it is not listed under one of the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" either.
I have tried the restarting Windows and using a different USB port, but to no avail. Attempts to restore the iPod also leads to iTunes error 1604.
Would appreciate any help! Thank you!

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure your security software is not blocking the USB connection to your ipod, see this article for more info: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

IPOD Shuffle is frozen

My Ipod Shuffle is frozen. No matter how many times I hold down the select and menu buttons to reboot it, it's still frozen. (I know the scroll wheel works because I can reset it this way.) the screen itself isn't frozen, when turning the hold switch on, the lock appears ont he screen, and when turning the lock switch off the lock symbol dissapears. Randomly once every few days for an hour or so it'll unfreeze, but then it will just freeze right back up again and I don't know what causes it to act that way each time....
Also Itunes allows me to still add songs to it, and when it unfreezes on those random times, those songs are on my IPOD and work.
I'm not sure what to do!

I am not sure if what I have is the same thing. But I noticed that there is no sign of power. I toggle the switch and through some effort it comes back and the power setting is fine (green). I usually have to go to the other music mode.
So my though is that the power circuitry for the iPod Shuffle got messed up. The device usually plays for a while too. So I think that heat gets to it and opens a circuit.
Oh yeah, when I regain use of it it starts off where I left the last listening session which can be several songs or more back. It works then ticks me off when it locks up.

We have tried the usual restart a few times but with no success.
You mean that you have put the iPod's Hold switch on, then off, and then press-and-held both the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds.
Have you made sure the iPod is charged?
If you have tried the Restat procedure (above) three times, have you then tried connecting the iPod to your iTunes Library?

IPod Sorting

I know this question has probably been asked a dozen or more times, but, I'm gonna dig it up anyway, sorry.
The way I have my files sorted/tagged on my computer is so I can sort on my iPod
genre > artist > album.
Just recently I went on a ramped MP3 renaming mission and re-tagged my MP3s so if there are multiple artists in a song it will say X feat. Y, but I have the Album Artist block filled in with the main artist. Now, my ipod sorts the albums correctly, but, the artist section, after choosing a genre, is a mess of lots of artists that connect to the same album. x feat. a, x feat. b, x feat. c, etc. that all connect to the album by x.
I know I can create compilations, but, I hate how the ipod then sorts these albums under a different area. I really want to be able to still go genre>artist>album.
Is there ANY way possible to sort the ipod by Album Artist instead of Artist in order to have the same genre>artist>album setup as I did before and avoid the whole, "use the compilation" tagging which then separates the albums and doesn't allow me to select via my preferred browsing method?

Thanks, I was hoping that this feature would finally be improved or 'fixed'. I used to have everything in the Title but then felt like the title was cluttered and moved it to where it should be. No biggie, somewhat disappointing, but not the worst thing in the world. I use MP3Tag, so, I'll find a script that will just move it all back.

This happened to me aswell, but it happened to me when I plugged it into the PC but same problem. what you have to do is move the 'Hold Switch' to put it on hold and then move it back again and then hold both the 'Menu button' and button in the middle of the click wheel. then it will turn off and then come up with the Apple logo and then it will work fine and you can try again. (P.S: If it doesnt show the Apple logo just try pressing any button

- Have you tried a reset to see if that will make iTunesee the iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try recovery mode. For that see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Then DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If somethng always shows on the screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

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.
