  • HT1459 iPod touch frozen and doesn't respond to a reset??

    Apple logo showing and iPod touch not booting up tried reset but still just getting no further than apple logo

    See what you missed here:
    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 another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • IPod Touch Frozen and password protected

    I charged it just last night on a wall outlet extension, unplugged it and it is stuck on the iTunes connection with the USB cord picture. I tried restarting it, that doesn't do a thing, and I can not restore it or connect it to iTunes because of the password protection.

    Okay...have you tried a reset of the iPod?
    You may need to reset. Note: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding.
    To reset
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod touch frozen and itunes cannot detect iPod?

    It just began with me connecting my iPod to my mac and a window popping up saying "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly, and you must manuually eject the ipod before each disconnect".I didn't know how to update it again (because my itunes is the lastest version already). You can't even see the contents (music, apps, books) of my ipod on itunes. I forgot to eject it manually today and now my ipod is frozen on the homescreen where all the apps are. Its been frozen for like an hour. I've tried holding the off button but to no avail.Now... my frozen ipod doesn't even show up on itunes. I need help!! (its a pretty old ipod touch with no camera)

    Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, untilt he Apple logo comes back again? If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • Ipod Touch Frozen and Unresponsive, not recognized by Macbook

    My Ipod Touch suddenly froze and stopped working. I have a black screen, tried the Ipod "reset" by holding both buttons for at least 10 sec. The apple symbol comes on, then the screen goes back to black. Tried this both connected and not connected to my MacBook. Ipod is not recognized when attached to USB by Itunes or MacBook. I downloaded the current version of iTunes with the same results. Please help.

    I would try and put the touch into a recovery mode.
    1. Start iTunes
    2. Unplug the touch and try to turn it off (hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider and turn it off. This may not work so go to step 3)
    3. Hold down the Home button and, while continuing to hold the button down, plug the touch USB cable back into your computer.
    4. Continue to hold the button down until iTunes responds with "an iPod has been detected in Recovery mode". Follow the onscreen instructions and restore the device.

  • IPod touch frozen and cannot unlock

    My son's iPod touch is frozen the screen will go on and just display "3MIHEHHR MOBN...." which seems like it's in a different language.  He said he was fooling around in languages.  When I plug it in via computer, i was hoping to set to default settings to unlock it.  But it knows the ipod is password protected.  Is there any other way of unlocking this device so I can get this working again for him?
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Was in a app when froze and tried to turn off but instead went to a blue screen and wont restart or charge. Its only 4 days old with no damage. Not sure what to do????

    You need to press the Power (on the top) and Home (on the front) buttons at the same time and hold them pressed until the Apple logo appears. Then it will re-start.

  • If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

    if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
    The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
    it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
    and i hope you understand my problem..
    i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • HT1320 My ipod nano is frozen and I cannot reset it.  How do I reset my ipod?

    I have an ipod nano that I purchased in 2009.  I believe it is a 5th generation.  It is frozen and I cannot reset it.

    Hey there Tricia9170,
    It sounds like you are unable to use the iPod Nano becuase it is unresponsive. Verify that this is the reset you have performed:
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    If so, try restoring it with the following steps in iTunes:
    Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
    How to restore your iPod:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Note
    : For Mac users, A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
    6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
