Ipod touch froze after reset

Hi. Does anyone knows how I can get the ipod touch to work after it was resetted. It does nothing but show the Apple icon and won't do anything else.

Got a new 4g 32GB for Xmas. Trouble since day 1. I'm not one who loads all kinds of apps, just a few games, music, and movies. I don't sync email, or surf the web(much). Really don't use it much at all. I've restored this thing 4 times since receiving it. It just locks up, I reset, and it goes to the original setup screen (you know, the one with the picture of the usb plug...). Each time I've had to reload all my music, etc. Real pain in the rear.
Last night I was on the plane watching a movie (which I had to stop and restart about every ten minutes because the video froze while sound remained, or vice versa) and it powers off, restarts, then presents a screen that says there are no video files on the device, even though I had been watching a movie (in small pieces) for 45 minutes.
The POS is now connected to my PC, frozen on the apple logo screen; can't power it off, if I reset it comes back to the same state; it'll restart itself occasionally with the same result.
Am I the only one experiencing this type of behavior, or did I just get a defective device? Software is all up to date...thinking of making a trip back to Best Buy...

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

My ipod touch froze & after i reset it, it still won't turn on

my ipod touch froze so i held down the lock and home button to restart it. it did this but when the apple logo shows up as if its going to awaken,
it immediately turns off again. i tried holding down the home & lock button the whole time and it still immediately shuts off of flashes a white screen and the screen goes blank again. the ipod doesnt even do anything when i plug it into the computer or itunes so i can restore it. ive repeated processes to reset it conuntless times but it hasnt effected it at all.
i've tried basically everything to try and revive it, but so far nothing has worked.
anybody have any other tips or options that will help me make it work again?

Some more information, please. What happens when you attempt to sync? Any messages? Etc., etc., etc.

IPod Touch stuck after reset

I've got an iPod Touch 32Gb 3rd Gen, I tried updating it to iOS 4.3 (it was on 4.1) So everytime it gave me an error while Backing up my iPod (the step before extracting) So i thought, if i reset the iTouch from the Settings, it won't try to Backup. So from the Settings Menu on the iPod, I reset it ( full hard reset, media included )
Now after the reset, the iPod refuses to start up, just keeps showing the Apple logo (with a loading circle sign on it).
Tried putting it into Restore mode, but it keeps going back to the same screen.

I was having the exact same problem with my Ipod touch, finally I figured out the problem after having tried all of those troubleshooting links, 1st I went into the start menu then right clicked on My Computer, then clicked manage. Then once I got into computer management I clicked on Device Manager, and at the bottom of the page I clicked the on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, it should say apple Mobil device right underneath, once you get there leave this page open. Open up itunes, connect ipod then hold the on/off switch and home button until itunes asks you to restore your ipod. Click restore, and it may say also say update and restore if so click on it. Then while it tries to restore your ipod click back on computer management and keep an eye on the apple mobil device USB port, you should get a warning that pops up next to the mobil device port, if you do double click on the apple mobil device and click reinstall.
Sorry this is so long and drawn out I hope that it helps.

IPOD Touch Froze // During reset ?

I just got my ipod touch back from a friend of mine, and as i reseted ( erasing everything ) During the process it froze on the apple screen. Im quite concerned but i know this is mostlikely fixable.
Thanks!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next I would place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Itunes doesn't recognize ipod touch even after I download latest version

About a week ago my ipod touch froze on the apple logo screen. I found a way to reset the factory setting and then try something else (can't remember what it was) where the itunes logo shows up on the screen and you plug it into your computer. After I did that a message came up that said "The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 9.2 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes". I did that and it still won't recognize it. I even downloaded the latest version of iTunes 3 times and after I plug my ipod in still the same message. I got this ipod touch as a Christmas gift in 2009. A friend of my mom's bought a car and it came with it. She didn't want it so she gave it to me. So, I'm not even sure which version it is. I've had no problems with it up until now. What do I need to do to get itunes to recognize my ipod? There's got to be more than downloaded the latest version several times- I know that's not good.

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start by removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using the instructions in the link.

My iPod touch froze, now everytime I try to turn it on, it deosnt work

My iPod touch froze, since then everytime I turn it on, it shows Apple logo for around a minute, then switches off.
I am wondering what is wrong since my iPod touch has always been in good condition

Is the battery fully charged?
If still problem after charging, try:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

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.

My ipod touch will not reset and I can't restore in iTunes since it won't allow me to access wth a passcode on the ipod.

My iPod touch will not reset. I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over. I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel. Any ideas?

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My iPod Touch froze and then......

I was trying to play a game and my iPod Touch froze up. After a minute it switched off and now I can't turn it back on. My battery life was at about 1/4 to 1/3 full. Any suggestions? Please tell me that all I need to do is plug it back up and get it back to a full charge.

No telling for sure, but with battery level relatively low, it could be that you just need to recharge. Plug the Touch into the USB cable, and let iTunes do the rest. You might want to leave it attached to the cable until it's fully charged.
Let us know if that helped.

How do I get my video playlists back on iPod Touch 4G after (epic fail) iOS6 update

As other users have identified, playlists present on iTunes on laptop but not on iPod touch 4G after iOS6 update except when select edit. Can I get them back? Not wasting time messing around. Either this is easily sortable or I get a new player from another maunfacturer - seems Apple can't be bothered to sort these issues so not sure I can be bothered with Apple anymore.

i had a problem simular after doing an update on itunes, I re-set=up the itunes according to my os and its working fine
