Ipod touch screen is frozen and will not shut down or re-set

I loaded a new game and when I opened the game, my Ipod Touch froze as soon as the game started to boot. The touchscreen is unresponsive and the Ipod will not restart or re-set. It will not register when hooked to Itunes on my computer. Has anyone had this happen, and how can I get it to re-boot.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If still "on", let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try again.

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • Macbook Pro screen is black and will not shut down or boot up right.

    Last night my 2007 macbook pro would not go to sleep properly.  When I closed the book the light stayed on and the fan continued running.  Later I shut it down. 
    This morning the computer turned on but the screen is black.  I tried closing the book but again it would not sleep.  I hold down the power button and it seems to shut down but when I push the power button again the light comes back on and the fan starts up but the screen stays black and there is no powerup sound.
    The lights on the battery are lit up.  I tried taking the battery out but same thing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Try:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Then see if it will boot into Safe Mode. Do not remove the battery unless it's defective.
    If none of the above work then you may have a hardware failure so take it in for service.

  • TS1382 My replacement iPod Nano is frozen and will not shut down or stop playing.  I cannot operate the touch or slide functions...truly frozen.

    I have tried to reset the IiPod, but an unsure of how to properly reset the instrument.

    To do a hard reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.
    If you are still unable to get any sort of response, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain.  Then charge it back up and see if things are back to normal.

  • Improperly disconnected ipod nano now screen is blank, and will not shut off.

    I accidently unplugged iPod Nano (second generation) improperly; now the screen is blank and will not shut down.

    Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch has not been activated, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take a couple of tries.
    Otherwise, wait for the iPod's battery to fully drain. Then connect it to a power source charge up as normal. It might be necessary to restore the Nano via iTunes after that as there may be corrupt files still leftover from improperly ejecting the iPod.

  • Help Please B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down...

    My old back-up B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down. After the crash my wife who was working on it attempted to restart it and all that happens is the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning dial (not multi-colored wheel). This actually happened a few months ago and I've just been using my MacBook instead, but realized there was still some info that we needed to retrieve from the G3.
    The only way to shut down is to unplug. I replaced the Lithium 3.6V battery but that didn't help. I tried holding down the apple, command + P, R keys for the 3 chimes and that didn't solve it. I have no clue what else to do. I would love to somehow be able to at least download the info from the hard drive(s), but have no idea if the drives may be corrupted.
    Please help with any advice. Many thanks.

    You can also try two other methods of Disk repair, without the Install CD:
    • Boot up while holding down the Shift key at startup. This forces the Mac to check and Repair its Hard Drive as it boots up, and does not load most extensions. This is called Safe Boot or Safe Mode.
    • Boot up Darwin in Single-user mode by Holding down Command and S at startup. When the messages stop scrolling, and it appears to prompt you for input, type:
    fsck -fy
    which forces it to check the disk, even if it is journaled.
    The full story is in this article:

  • HT1430 How can you reboot your Touch if the screen is frozen and will not allow you to use the "slide to power off"

  • My music screen has frozen and will not respond to my touch

    my 32g iPod touch will not respond to my touch while i am in my music library.  i can navigate through my iPod and access my apps, calendar, etc., but as soon as i try to get into my music and browse through it, nothing.  it has done this before, but it usually "snaps out of it", and eventually begins to work properly.  i purchased this iPod brand new in march 2012, so in my opinion it should not be acting up.  anyone have any idea as to what is going on with it? 

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • While updating to 8.3 screen is frozen and will not work. How do I reboot?

    Started update to 8.3, verifying update appears and nothing works. The screen has been this way for over 12 hours. Can't even shut down. Is there a fix?

    You could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

  • Frozen cursor, will not shut down

  • My iPad just randomly stopped having sound and will not shut down only restart.

    my iPad just stopped have sound.  Only works with ear-buds.  Also, now when I power it down or even force it, will only restart & will not stay shut off.  I have done the whole mute/lock thing, did a reset & even backed it up & restored it.  Anybody have any suggestions??  thanks!

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
