Ipod touch music player is frozen

My Ipod touch froze while I was using the music player and now it wont work at all (the music player) when I try to open it, it shows a white screen then returns to my home page. If I get lucky it will go to playlist page but wont do anything from there. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help

Terminate the music player. To do this double-click the Home button to bring up the recent apps tray. Locate the music player icon and touch the music player icon until an "X" appears at its corner. Now touch the "X" to terminate the player.
You may also want to reset your iPod. Press the Home button and the On/Off button together and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Problem with the Ipod Touch Music Player

Hi, I recently got an iPod touch 3g (8 gig) around christmas, and its been a truly great buy and worked flawlessly. However just recently I started having issues with the iPod's music player.
Ever since last night, I noticed that when I use the music player, and try to move 'FORWARD' a song (IE the double forward arrow button) the arrow would stay white like I was pressing it, NOT move forward a song, the screen would be unresponsive as the current song played, and then after 2-3 seconds the music player would crash and go back to the home screen.
I know it was a crash because when I went back to the music player, it was reset back to the 'Shuffle' option with the list of songs below it (usually, it leaves off on the last song you were listening to.)
I also noticed, that even if I just listened to a song completely without hitting forward, it would STILL freeze up and crash to home screen once the song was finished, even if I DIDN'T press anything.
But apparently the double back arrow (rewind/back) works without crashing it.
So my question is: what can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting my iPod (by holding the top and home buttons for 10 seconds) and it did not solve this. I always keep my iPod charged up, and I can't think of ANYTHING I did yesterday or recently at all to cause this problem....I generally only use the iPod touch for music or internet browsing.
any help appreciated..
-Ben

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and wont turn on (1604 error)

I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and will not turn on. I try restoring factory settings but the process terminates with a 1604 error. I have researched this problem on the net and think i have tried everything, but still no joy. I have tried removing all apple and itunes software and reinstalling, updating the apple drivers - nothing has worked. I am using itunes 10.3 on my pc, windows xp.
If anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful - I am off on holiday on thursday and would love to have my ipod with me!
Many thanks in advance.
Craig.

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

My music player is frozen and a music download is frozen

My music player is frozen and a itunes download is frozen can anyone help?

Close the Music app and reboot the iPad and then try again.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

IPod touch music.. How do I stop

I have a new iPod touch with software version 3.1.2. How do I make the music stop playing when I want it to? The only way i've found is to go back to the music section and press pause, there has to be another way isn't their...

Double tap the home button and a little media player menu will pop up. If the music is already stopped, then double tapping the home button takes you to the home screens.

IPod touch Music settings?

Okay...
I finally broke down and bought an portable player, and 32gb iPod touch. I am going to be running my Klipsch Image One Headphones with this unit... are there any setting I can use or anything I can do to the downloads/files I am goign to transfer from my computer to make the sound better?
faster/deeper sample rate?
save files as what?
anything at all?
I am not concerned with file size, just sound quality
thanks in advance

If this is music you have already ripped into your computer, probably not, but using Klipsch headphones will get the best out of that music.
For any music you're going to buy in the future, it depends on what is available. If you're buying digital files, and there is a choice of bit rates, pay for the highest bit rate. The Apple Store music purchases are (as far as I know) now in MPEG-4 AAC format, which will not always play on other makes of player. MP3 is the universal format, used by all players, although some cannot play the highest bit rate files. If you're ripping a CD, then you have a lot of choice and I believe (from what people say on these forums) that the best one is probably Apple Lossless.
In the end, this will come down to your personal preference, according to how much trade-off you want to make; the highest bit rate will (usually) create the largest file size which will significantly reduce how many songs you can get on the Touch. That may become an issue as your music collection grows. However, if you cannot hear the difference between the highest bit rate and one of the lower ones, there will be little point in using the higher one. One method to help you decide is to import the same song in different formats and bit rates until you find one your happy with.
I use Bose on-ear headphones, Klipsch in-ear headphones and the Klipsch RoomGroove and I typically use *iTunes plus* (AAC) at 256kbps for my music. You may not be happy with that - it really is down to you. Perhaps my age-related hearing loss means that I'm happy with my choice, you may not be if you're younger and still have full frequency hearing. (Mmmm! Age-related hearing loss, there's something to look forward to - not!)
While typing this, I had a check on the Klipsch website and found this http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/support/how-to-buy-audio/digital-dish-details/ which should help you make a decision, especially paragraph four, beginning "If you’re into serious listening..."
Note what the article points out about certain file formats only working on Apple products. Also, note that you cannot add album artwork to a WAV file.
Good listening.
Phil
