Ipod touch is "frozen" can't power off or connect to itunes

I was listening to music on my ipod touch when the song stopped and would not play again. Took my headphones out, put them back in, still nothing. Powered down to see if that would work. Put the ipod in my pocket after powering down and checked it a couple hours later and it was frozen. Now, if I push the power button the screen shows a cable connecting to the iTunes icon. When I push and hold the power down button I am unable to slide the power off button...the touch screen does not work. I connected to itunes but received a message stating it was unable to connect because my ipod was locked and I need to enter my password on my ipod....but it's locked! Ideas?

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.

  • HT204053 my Ipod touch is frozen,  I turn it off but it is not working, what should I do?

    My Ipod touch is frozen, I turned it off and back on but it is not working

    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.

  • 3rd gen iPod Touch (refurb) keeps asking to power off.

    Hi, just purchased the above for my son and it keeps going to the slide to power off screen without pressing the off button. This occurs sometimes every few seconds (you can just hit cancel ok and it does)then stops. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Is this a setting somewhere? I have searched but cannot find anything. Help!

    - First try resetting your 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 would be to restore from backup via iTunes
    - Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes
    - Last would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare.
