IPod Touch 4 frozen - stuck on screen

My brother was on watching a Youtube video and when he had clicked "Done" to get out of fullscreen mode his iPod suddenly froze and is now stuck on this screen:http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x238/tai230/ERGH.jpg
I've tried the Power + Home button thing, and I can't really restore since the computer doesn't detect it at all.
What could be the issue?
Thanks.

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.

and
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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.

Ipod touch is frozen with white screen

My daughters ipod touch just froze. The screen is lit up white and can do nothing. I tried holding the on/off and home button at the same time for at least 15 seconds and it still wont restart. I also tried charging it for several hours and nothing. Any ideas?

You have to let the battery drain. After it is drained and the screen shuts off, THEN charge it back up.

Ipod Touch completely frozen with white screen

My ipod touch is completley frozen with a grey/white screen. it will not respond to reset or restore, neither my pc or itunes recognise it when i plug it in. Anybody have any ideas other than contact apple directly? All software on ipod touch and itunes is up to date.

- If the reset does not work, connct to comuer and if iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod via iTunes.
- Next let the battery fully draind and charge for an hour.. The try the reset:
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.
and connecting to iTunes to try to restore.
- If the iPod still has the white screen then it is time make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
- If the iPod is off se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to se the iPod so tha you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

IPod touch 4g frozen on white screen

Hi all, I have a fairly important problem. I was listening to Pandora while on the Facebook app, and I had just unlocked my iPod touch 4g/5g when the music stopped, screen froze, and faded to white. Now I have it plugged into iTunes. It downloaded all of the recent purchases I had made since the last time I synced it, but iTunes does not recognize or acknowledge the presence of my iPod. The screen is still white, some 30 minutes after this happened. It's completely unresponsive and I've tried holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple icon showed up, but the icon never showed up... I also have read quite a few other discussion forums about the "white screen of death", but they are all older and not about the current generation iPod touch. If this could be fixed quickly that would be awesome. I use my iPod quite frequently so it would be nice to have it back up and running.
Thanks, Quinn

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."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My iPod touch is frozen and apple screen & spinning wheel keep appearing

Hi I really need help,
I was updating an application on my iPod when suddenly it shut down because the battery was too low.
Then I tried to turn it on again but these apple screen and spinning wheel screen keep appearing until now.
I've tried pressing and holding the home & sleep/wake button at the same time several times, and mostly it didn't work.

First, charge the battery thouroughly.
Then, if you're still having a problem, 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 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. It could take well over an hour! 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod touch is frozen at black screen with apple logo after updating to OS 6

I was updating to new software, it told me to plug into itunes. clicked restore ipod and then the problems started. my computer doesnt even recognize it now. I've tried restarting with no luck. Done many steps recommended by Apple and still cant get it to work.

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.
The above may be repetitive but you did not say what you tried.

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.
