Ipod stopped working - screen still on showing played song but locked up

My ipod was working nicely through a docking sound system when it got to the end of a track and stopped working. the screen is fully illuminated, showing the next track at a time of 0:00 but nothing is working. No response to any buttons, no response to docking into itunes, no response to any of the "locked" suggestions on the apple website. The website lock faults are all if the ipod won't come on however mine is on but won't do anything. Anyone know any reset ideas ? I'm stuck!!! Kev
(It's a 30gb and I think it's a classic)

Thanks. I tried that and it did unfreeze the screen. When it starts back up it gives me this website (www.apple.com/support/ipod)alternating between 'Please Wait Very Low Battery'. This could be because is was on while it was frozen.
Any thoughts for a next step?

  • 4th gen ipod stopped working

    I have a 4th gen ipod that stopped working. I had it playing in the car on a charger, after making a stop it wouldn't work again. It did flicker for a few minutes, but no sound. It won't charge and the computer won't recognize it and it won't reset. So how do I determine if it is the battery or the logic board?

    Need some additional info to help.
    When you connect it to your Mac, does it show the iPod icon on the desktop?
    What does it show on the iPod screen when you connect to the Mac?
    if it shows the "Don't disconnected" screen, then it is your battery is dead. leave it charging for about 4 hours and Reset the iPod, to see if iTunes sense it, while still connected.
    If you Ipod works after charging 4 hours, then your car docking system charger is kaput!
    or else time to replace the iPod battery.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod stopped working with iTrip

    My iPod stopped working with my iTrip very mysteriously. I left it in the car for 2 hours (as I always do at work) and it worked when I left and wouldn't work when I went to drive home. I've replaced the iTrip and know that it works with another iPod (identical to mine and bought at the exact same time).
    Does anyone know if there's way to fix this?

    I just started having issues with my iPod as well. It is paired with my JVC receiver through an iPod adapter. I can normally control my iPod through the JVC once it is connected, but the last few days I have had to control it through the iPod itself. The screen on the receiver says connecting, but never does unless I do manually.( pressing play on the iPod). I can still see song titles, but no control. IE pause, next or previous songs. Nothing seems to work, and have treid powering both off then back on. Is this an update issue that wont let them pair anymore? I also tried a friends iphone and seemed to work fine with the JVC, so the receiver is not the issue.

  • 5th Gen ipod stopped working , connected to Alpine CDA117

    Out of nowhere the ipod stopped working when hooked directly to the Alpine CDA117.
    It worked this morning when I pulled out of the driveway and drove to my shop . I did not unplug it when I arrived, it stayed in the car hooked up as it does often.
    When I got back in the car about 2 hours later it was not working . It recognizes the ipod , shows the song , playlist etc but no volume and it's not "playing" so it's sort of on "pause", but not showing that it really is "paused"
    Apple looked at it , thought there might be some dust on the contacts , cleaned it , tried it in the store and it worked fine both with earbuds and through speakers.
    It works in my wife's car via the same hookup.
    My wife's ipod works in my car hooked up just as mine would be .
    The guy at Best Buy who hooked it up , hooked his up and his worked fine.
    Firmware is up to date .
    I literally did nothing to it once I arrived and my shop and then got back in the car 2 hours later.
    Help me !
    I have a 3 hour ride up to the Berkshires on Saturday and will go bonkers without my music .

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • My iPod stop working....

    My iPod stop working...
    I load my pictures in and now my screen shows only red letters and nothing else!!!
    what should I do?
    pachy

    I did try that by doing everything the manual book said:
    1. connect iPod to a power outlet using the iPod Power adapter (I did)
    2. Toggle the hold switch on and off...yes I did turn on and off and on and off..
    3. press and hold the select and menu buttons..for at least 6 seconds (I did 1 min and nothing happened still) until the apple logo appears.
    Besides the software failure, the power is still on ... and I CAN'T TURN IT OFF neither!!!!!
    what other alternate tips or troubleshooting ...are there that will solve this problem? Thank you
    Do I really need to make an appointment and go down to Genius BAR?
    Thank you again and please help me

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.

    Update!
    This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
    a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
    b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!

  • Hello  My system version 10.5.8  I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:   "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".

    Hello
    My system version 10.5.8
    I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
    "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
    After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
    I then tried the following experimental steps:
    a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
    b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
    c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
    d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
    e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
    Guys, please solve the problem

    There are many threads on this.  I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
    I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have.  Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.
