Ipod touch is frozen and the home/lock button combination does not reset it

The ipod is not responding. I tried holding the lock/home button combo for more than 30 seconds. The screen will go turn all white then all black every five to ten seconds during the reset procedure. I hooked up to the PC and it did sync with computer. Since the display does not work, I cannot do anything else with the ipod. Please save me. My daughter is very upset. 
I updated the OS very recently and I am sure it is the latest but I cannot see the ipod. Itunes says it is current though.

iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive
When iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod, try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on the PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn Windows Firewall on or off

    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.

    What can I do if my iPod touch is in blank? All I did was just disconnect it from charging and then it was in blank.

    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    You can't reset the iPod with the Home and Power buttons. All y can do is restore the iPod.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs if necessary to allow the restore.:

  • HT4859 we have a iPod touch 4th gen and the screen is locked and it will let us restore it what now

    we have an ipod touch 4th gen and the screen is locked up and it will not back up or restore. I have removed iTunes and reloaded also iCloud the same we are needing help

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

    What exactly happen? If it started and froze, at what stage did it freeze?
    Maybe this:

    Following Troubleshooting security software will frequently resolve this issue. This issue can be caused by the default packet size being set incorrectly. There may be third-party software installed that modifies the default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize or MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entry into the Registry. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance in adjusting this TcpWindowSize values. Typically the default packet size is modified by 3G cellular network card software, ISP communication software, or Internet speed download optimization software. There are legitimate reasons to change the TCP/IP packet size and not use the Windows default settings (for example, network traffic optimization, home/broadband optimization, enterprise app optimization such as database apps, Exchange, and more). Deleting the "TcpWindowSize" or "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize" entries in Windows Registry could affect the system's performance with other apps or on their network connections. Deleting the customized TCP/IP settings may require the reinstallation of any third-party applications that had modified the TCP/IP settings from the Windows default settings.
    There are two ways to resolve this:
    You can follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , or follow the steps below to manually find and remove TcpWindowSize and MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entries from the Registry.
    For Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7: Go to the C:\Windows folder and launch regedit.
    Go to Edit > Find.
    Search for "TcpWindowSize" entries. There are typically multiple entries of TcpWindowSize/GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize spread throughout the entire Registry. If "TcpWindowSize" exists, one or more third-party applications have changed the user's default Windows settings for TCP/IP.
    Go to File and select Export. This step will export a copy of the Registry that can be used as a backup of the original settings.
    Delete the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    Search for the next "TcpWindowSize" entry and delete each one until the Registry no longer has any "TcpWindowSize" entries.
    Close Regedit, restart the PC, and test.
    If you are uncertain as to why these registry entries exist and the PC is a business computer, contact your network administrator and determine what values TCP/IP can be set in their Windows Registry setting so that the PC can update or restore an iOS device rather than deleting the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    If editing the registry does not resolve the issue, restoring on a different computer that did not install the communication software is the step most likely to resolve this issue.
    I would first try restoring on another computer.

  • If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

    Sounds like the Activation Lock (iOS 7) is working as designed. It determs theft since y have to know the APple ID's passward to use/restore the iPod foro use. Unless you can get the password you have a nice but thin brick. Likely the iPod was stolen
