Ipod Touch screen freezes when syncing

After my ipod touch 2G fell victim to the white screen of death, i decided to use an ipod touch 1G we had. After updating itunes, i updated the ipod's software to 3.1.3. After the update and the backup (pre-restoration) everything was fine with it until the sync started; the ipod screen would freeze with the apple icon on it and the status bar around 1/4 of the way to completion. When itunes shows that the content completed syncing and the ipod was ready to be disconnected the logo and staus bar stayed put. After disconnecting the screen still has no change, doesn't go dark or lock or anything. I tried putting it into recovery mode and restoring it several times. Help?

If the screen remains on and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset, recovery mode and restore as appropriate. If the iPod acts the same as before then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iPod touch keep freezing when I attempt to turn off iCloud Keychain in the settings?

    Everytime I try to turn off iCloud Keychain, my iPod's
    Screen freezes and automatically turns iCloud Keychain back on. I really don't want ICloud Keychain and it has been a while since I tried to turn it off.

    Maybe:

  • IPod touch screen freezes up and become unresponsive whenever it needs to prompt me for passcode

    I know my problem may sound strange. My iPod touch is complete screwed to the point that I can only unlock it using the password when it boots up from off mode. After that, when I lock the screen and it prompts me for the password again, I slide the slider and it hangs down there. I tried to go to the settings app to turn off the passcode but it needs to prompt me to enter my current passcode before I can enter to turn it off and it just hangs down there. I tried to Reset All Settings which also needs my passcode, I tapped on "Reset All Settings" and the next thing it should pop out is ask me to enter my passcode but it just freezes down there being unresponsive. Help. I've tried restoring but there was an error message in the process of restoring.

    I suspected it is a bug of iOS 5.1.1. The problem is in a very vicious loop. But with many tries, there will be times when it doesn't hang when it needs to prompt you to enter a passcode. Found a solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18896056

  • Ipod touch locks up when syncing

    Hello-
    My Ipod touch syncs fine with Itunes 8.0.1.11 when syncing apps or playlists. As soon as I check "sync all music and playlists" Itunes locks up on me. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I forgot to say that I also had downloaded the newest Iphone software package for the Ipod touch. This freezeing up issue was happening before that tough.

  • My ipod touch is freezing when it tells me to restore what do i do!

    i tried to upgrade to the new software thinking it would do nothing to my ipod but it did now it is constantly in recovery mode i cant do anything with it it tells me to restore it so i try and it freezes whilst in the middle of restoring any ideas

    Take a look at this link http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
    I would suggest removing itunes through add/remove and then installing the latest version 7.6 and then hook your Ipod up and reset it while it's hooked up.
    To Reset you do this
    1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
    2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still off.
    3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
    4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
    5. The Apple logo will appear
    6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
    7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
    6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
    8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • IPod (and iTunes) freezes when syncing large playlists

    My ipod freezes when updating a large playlist or a lot of new songs. This usually requires me to physically disconnect the dock connector and reconnect the ipod.
    If i try to sync the same files using a smaller playlist the ipod is usually able to update.
    Anyone else experience this problem and/or have a fix for it?
    I've tried resetting/updating software on my ipod with no luck.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Ipod touch screen freezes up

    I have an ipod touch thats a year old it worked fine untill a few days after I updated it recently. If I leave it alone for awhile the touchscreen will work for awhile but if I start an app or try to do anything but scroll around the main screen the touchscreen will stop working soon after I start the app or program. I have done everything apple recomends you do for this problem. Is there anything else I can do about it? Or do I have to send it in and pay who knoes what for this problem?

    It would be helpful if you told us what you already did. The statement: "I have done everything apple recomends you do for this problem. " does not tell us what you actually tried.

  • Ipod touch 1st gen. touch screen freezes up

    I have a 1st gen ipod touch, after a year the touch screen freezes up constantly. I reboot, restart, re sync, upgrade, updated firmware, made sure sure the browser was cleared, I don't even have 1/2 the memory used, now & then it will unfreeze, but most of the time it is frozen. Very unreliable. Thank god it is not a phone. I even took it into the so called "Genius Bar" and they just told me to buy a new one...had this thing a little over a year...and they really think I am going to purchase more Apple products? It is pretty sad when the folks that make this crap can't diagnose it...
    Anybody else in this boat?

    Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod if you have not already done that.  If you still have the problem then you very likely have a hardware problems and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

    i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

    Why won't it let you sync?  What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes?  How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes?  To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
    Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents?  In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

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

  • I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
    It is simply a list of songs in the library
    Do you want the playlists or not?
