Ipod Touch sometimes freezes

Since the update to iOS 5 sometimes I'm using my iPod and freezes about two or three seconds, then continues functioning without a problem, but this is annoying.
How can I solve this issue?

You can try the satandard 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.
Other users, and my self, have experinced some lagafter iOS 5. It sems to be at least partially due the iPod only have 256 MB of memory. Pwring off and then back on tends to reduce the lag for a while.

My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

Ipod touch 2g freezing after unlocking

My ipod touch is freezing and having many issues right after I unlock it.
Usually it locks up and the screen and both buttons become un-responsive.
I end up having to hold both buttons down to restart, but it just freezes again right after unlocking.
What advice do you guys have?
It's 4 months old and has had relatively low use. I have a 2 year old Second Gen that's working perfectly.

First I would restore from backup via iTunes to see it that fixes problem
Next would be to restore to factory defaults, also via iTunes, and then sync.
If those do not solve problem I would say it is a hardware problem and you should either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store

My ipod touch is freezing

my ipod touch is freezing... I already tried pressing together the sleep/on-off & home buttons but it didn't work... what else can it do? the screen have these lines of light green, purple, magenta...

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 Touch 4g freezes, unfreezes after lock/unlock

My iPod touch 4g freezes after a while when you're doing nothing.
e.g. If you keep swiping to different app pages, it won't freeze. But once you stop and pause for a while, it freezes.
Then when i lock it, and unlock it, the touchscreen works again. And then it's back to the above problem.
Is this a problem with the digitizer? Or is it a software problem?
(iPod Touch has been jailbroken a few times, but is currently factory restored in an attempt to solve the problem.)

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store if still problem since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod touch sync freezes

iPod touch sync freezes at calendar sync, wired or wireless. Have rebooted computer and restored ipod to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help. After running "Activity Monitor" and going through the iTunes/iPod Touch sync process I was able to determine the suspect application that most likely caused the conflict.
While watching "Activity Monitor" almost immediately an application called "CNQL1208_ButtonManager" crashed - locking up the computer. I was able to determine by checking out a few bulletin boards that this application is the culprit in more than one problem on both Macs and Pc's. It's an app that gets loaded at start-up, which monitors the buttons on the front of my Canon Scanner (Model LiDE 35). Part of the CanoScan software download/driver for this model. I trashed this file and everything appears to work fine. In fact, the sync with my iPod touch seems to happen much faster.
The other possibility is that there was a conflict with PalmBackground Monitor, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Thanks again for the Activity Monitor suggestion.

Ipod touch 2G freezing and restarting

Lately, as in the past few weeks or so, my ipod has been freezing and restarting at random intervals. Sometimes, it works for days, then acts up, and sometimes it only works for a few minutes. When it does this, the screen flashes and goes all sorts of different colors, then the ipod shuts off. Sometimes, it takes upwards of five minutes and trying different buttons to get it to come back on. I've already tried many resets and I've restored it twice, I am also using the latest software. I have NO idea what else to do.

Hi Damien,
please write about your experience there because I have a similar problem:
My ipod touch 2G 8GB freezes too after various periods of normal function. It is possible to get it working again by setting it back to factory defaults and then playing back the backup. The freezing occurs quite often.
The ipod was in the dealer´s repair shop twice (i suppos that is not an Apple repair shop). Both times they sent it back with de text "device tested, no mistake found, operating system installed as goodwill". I presume they just set it back to factory defaults which I can do myself but don´t want to do it every few minutes or hours.
How can I convince the repair shop that there is really a problem with the ipod?
Cheers
Peter

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

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

- Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
- Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.

My iPod Touch keeps freezing! WHY?!

I have the 8GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch with software version 4.2.1. It's about two years old and has recently begun to freeze (no colored pages, just frozen on whatever screen it was on when it froze). It happens when I am playing and exploring my music the most and has even done it for no reason. The only way to pass it is to do a force quit by holding down the power and home buttons.
I have been to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and he reset my iPod back to it's factory settings and I left with a blank iPod and the hope that the problem had been solved. Alas, it had not. I got home, synced it to my library and behold, here we are again.
I don't play games or use apps that (literally, the only app I have is Facebook). I have a huge iTunes library, but I haven't filled my iPod to the max, so there's lots of storage space. So it can't be an app or storage issue. I do have it connected to my personal home wireless internet, but that has never ever given me problems, so I don't think that's an issue either.
I have gone through my entire iTunes library and found no corrupt files and everything is up to date (both iTunes and iPod software). I have even re-downloaded iTunes. I understand that I now have an outdated iPod since the 5th Generation is out and because of that, 4.2.1 is as far as 4th Generation users will get. Apple has stopped releasing updates for the 4th Generation iPods, so updates will now bypass 4th Generation users. Fine. I've had version 4.2.1 for well over a month now and it only recently began freezing and giving me issues.
All I want to do is browse and listen to my music without it freezing as that is all I use my iPod for.
I plan on revisiting the Genius Bar for another appointment in the very near future.
I am willing to try anything (as long as it won't harm my iPod). I do however refuse to buy a replacement since the 5th Generation is out and 4th Generation updates have been abandoned. So if it comes down to buying another one, it's going to be the newest one.
Is there anything else I can do?
HELP!
-Brandon

Correction: I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch, not a 4th Gen. My mistake.
I have deleted a ton of stuff already. The only stuff left is music, that's pretty much it.
As far as restoring it goes, I have done that. The problem still seems to remain.
Any more ideas or suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.
Thanks

Brand new Ipod touch 1g freezing up

I received a new ipod touch today because my old one had a bad ear jack. well i restored the new ipod from my old ipod back up. and every app i click on or song i play the ipod freezes up. i have restored it back to its original factory state and it still does it. I play Imob online and i can not even get passed the home screen anymore. it just freezes. This happens with other apps too. The only way i can get out of the freeze is to push and hold down the menu return button. what should i do to fix this?

Contact Apple ASAP and see if they can organise another replacement.
If a restore didn't work then it could indicate problems with the actual hardware, which can't be fixed by the user.

Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch, iTunes freezes?

Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch (5th generation), iTunes freezes. It starts syncing for a few seconds, slows down, stops, then iTunes becomes unresponsive. If I don't force quit it, after a few minutes, iTunes is fine, but my device still hasn't synced. Any solutions/suggestions?

See if this helps: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4268912?start=0&tstart=0
