Ipod troubles: jolt, freezing..

Hi guys!
I'm writing here because I'm having some troubles with my 3d gen nano:
1-
first of all..is 2/3 days that sometimes when I'm listening to music I feel a small jolt in my ears.. is it possible? o.O could it be because my ipod sock isn't 100% cotton? I don't think is speakers' fault because they are new and they have never given me such problems..however today I started using the ipod speakers.. let's hope.. :\
2-
almost everytime I connect the ipod to the pc the ipod freezes, and I have to reset the ipod. this is really so annoying...is there a way to fix it?
3-
sometimes the ipod reset itself automatically at the end of a song. now: my previous mp3 player didn't have such problems..I'm seriously thinking at ipod linux unless apple doesn't fix something via software..(converting the damaged mp3 would be really annoying because I don't know how to recognise them: itunes plays all the mp3s correctly.. also my previous mp3 player..)
4-
a little one..and I've noticed other people wrote about this: there is a problem in ipod's coverflow with album from different artist with the same name!!!! apple, please, fix it!!!
if smeone has suggestions for me..it would be really goood

See if you can find a Mac computer and do the following
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”
It is caused by the bad sectors on the hard drive of iPod, and it must be formatted to solve but not Restore. Don't ask me why, the PC's formatting would not help in most cases

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • IPod causing iTunes freeze

    Hi guys,
    hope someone can help as this has had me flummoxed for a good few hours and nothing as of yet I have come across has helped me in fixing my iPod (5th Gen).
    Basically when attempting to use iTunes (with my iPod connected), iTunes freezes and forces itself to shutdown, I have tried to remedy this by resetting the iPod (unable to enter diagnostic mode or disk mode), reinstalled iTunes, used a different computer to see if it was my computer and god knows what else to get it working again but as of yet no luck, without accessing iTunes I can't restore original factory settings to the iPod either (which is now the aim).
    Any suggestions on what I can do or how to remedy the situation?
    Thanks

    Pretty much the same story here. I don't know if this is related to the latest version of iTunes, which I recently updated? Is there a bug?
    When I connect the iPod (5th generation video), I get "Updating <ipod name>..." screen, and it hangs. IPod says to not disconnect. It never recovers.
    I've tried:
    -Removing and reinstalling iTunes
    -Checking off the setting to NOT automatically synch ipods and iphones
    -Turning off my anti-virus
    -Reading through all the support articles, which suggest to reset the iPod to factory settings...
    The kicker is that I can't do a factory reset of the iPod or update the firmware without connecting to iTunes, of course.
    I guess it's hopeless. Time to throw the iPod out??? Seriously, what to do?

  • My ipod classic is freeze, my ipod classic is freeze, my ipod classic is freeze

  • My 2 month old Iphone is losing it's mind.  It's randomly turning on Voice Command and calling people or turning on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me go back to the home screen.

    My 2 month old IPhone started randomly turning on Voice Command and calls people and turns on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me push the home button.  Any suggestions?

    OK, I reset it several times and it worked fine all day yesterday.  Today when I turned on the bluetooth it went back to the same problem.  Voice Control comes on and the home button won't work at all.  I have gone through the reset many times and it isn't working.  How do I restore firmware as you suggested? 

  • My ipod keeps on freezing with every two songs.

    my ipod keeps on freezing.i have read the other post but mine is different.recently every time i listen to my ipod it keeps on freezeing on the song list with every other song as in one song would work..the3n the next it would freeze and nothing can unfreeze the screen.i tried resetting the ipod and it happens again and again.does anyone know how i can fix my ipod so that i dont have to resent it everytime it freezes like every 5 mins?

    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.

  • Ipod not syncing freezes

    ipod 80gb classic freezes itunes after transferring a fraction of my music, then ipod says it has no music. Freezes itunes and can not get back

    I'm not sure that if this is exactly the same problem you're having but it sounds similiar...
    I have just purchased a new ipod classic 160, and have attempted to sync it with my itunes 9.1 library. It managed to sync about 3 Gb and then an error message came up saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I then tried manually transferring the music and was successful with some of the music, but with other tracks the same error message came up. I performed a restore on the iPod, as I initially formatted it on a PC, not my Mac, and thought this might be the problem. Unfortunately this didn't fix it. As far as I can see there is no pattern to the tracks that it won't load on (well not to my eyes anyway). I would be grateful for any suggestions as I'm off traveling in a few days time without my laptop and can't imagine myself without my music collection!

  • I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • 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.

  • IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?

    My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

  • 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

  • IPod classic 160GB freezing when plugged in

    Hi,
    My new iPod classic started freezing when plugge in after the night, for example - it needs a restore, then works fine. Any ideas?
    Thank you for your help

    Yikes!, it may means it is the iPod Classic firmware 2.0.4, that is hanging up the USB Host controller, which freezes your whole Computer.
    Could be a partially updated firmware 2.0.4, (so kind of corrupted)
    Can you
    1. Open in finder <yourname>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
    2. Remove the .ipsw and .ipsw.signature for the version you are wanting to drop, in this case, 2.0.4
    3. Open iTunes and in Preferences uncheck automatic check for updates.
    4. Connect iPod and select restore. It will ask you if you want to check for newer update. Select Yes. All files will be removed and it will have to resync the entire library but it worked.
    PS: try and do this in Diskmode.

  • IPod Nano is FREEZING!

    My iPod Nano is freezing... it is mainly used to watch vids, but there is music on it. Any help would be appreciated.:)

    Finally, people who have the same problem. My 3rd gen nano worked great with my factory chrysler ipod interface and my jensen clock radio with ipod interface. Up until last month...now the ipod just freezes and soon as I plug it in to either one. I did a reset, restore, update firmware, new songs, less songs, disk mode, manually manage, etc. Finally I sent it in for repair because it's still under warranty. Apple sent it back and said it's fine...nope!! Here's a video I took of it happening-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8zJKm0M5I (Sorry it's blurry).
    Apple, fix the problem or you're going to get really bad publicity!!
