Hi,
Just to say thanks for the advice. I'm a new Nano (4gb)user and found that after I did an update the Nano kept freezing all my applications not being recognised (e.g. in iTunes). I reformatted the drive as advised which has fixed the problem.

I'm using a 2009 Macbook Pro and have installed the lastest update 10.8.1

I've been seeing this for some time now and getting quite sick of it. It happens when I've been away at work for the day and come home to find frozen notifications.
You can fix this temporarily by quitting Notification Centre from Activity Monitor but it keeps happening to me every week or so.

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...

HELP - Ipod 30gb keeps freezing

okay, i've reset the darn thing about a million times. all updates have been installed. yet, my ipod keeps freezing. if i am lucky, i get one or two songs to complete before it freezes. i've got about 20gb of music on it now, which i'm guessing is too much of a stress for the little fellow.
this morning i restored the ipod, hoping that this would solve the problem. while i wasn't happy about having to load a library of music back on to the ipod, i felt as if i had no choice. now, however, it still freezes up on me. HELP!

Take it to Apple service centre & tell them your problem & all the things that you have tried to make it work. If your ipod is under warranty they will sort out your problem either by rectifying it or by replacing your ipod.

Ipod video keeps freezing

ok so I just got my ipod few days ago brand new, had no problems with it. Today when I tried to charge it from my laptop this message comes up from itunes saying a new version (7)is available. So i download it and then it says a new ipod version is available 1.2. and i start downloadding that. so as its updating all the files in the ipod and its almost done, my ipod freezes and itunes says ipod is done updating you can now disconnect. so i disconnect the ipod but its still frozen, so i do a reset and it works fine for maybe a minute and all my files are there and it plays fine but then it freezes again. so i reset again and it freezes in a much shorter time... then i try to restore it from itunes to its factory settings and with much difficulty of it keep freezing i finally get to do it and even put my songs back on there. but then after maybe more than a minute it freezes again. i even ran the diagnostic and it showed everything was fine... any ideas what could be wrong, i tried resseting abuncha times and it freezes everytime, sometimes instantly. it seems like something is spinning in it and then it suddenly stops and crashes. this thing is literally two days old...
ANY help would be much appreciated.

Windows recognizes iPod, but not iTunes or iPod updater, causes freezing

I'm having some issues with my 60GB iPod Photo. I tried to store my friend's music on my iPod as files. Upon uploading them to my own computer, some files caused freezing, requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the iPod. I finally gave up and deleted all the files stored on my iPod. All of a sudden, although Windows XP Pro recognized that an iPod was plugged in, it would no longer open iTunes automatically. When opening iTunes once the iPod was plugged in, it would cause iTunes to freeze.
I decided to restore my iPod. About halfway through, there was an error message saying my iPod could not be restored. All songs were deleted but my iPod was still not recognized. Now, the iPod updater does not recognize that in iPod is connected, even though Windows does. The updater freezes, inhibiting me from completing my restore. iTunes freezes as well when my iPod is plugged in. My iPod displays "update in progress - do not disconnect," but nothing happens. When my iPod is not connected to the computer, I can navigate through it normally, although it does need to be unfrozen when left unused for a couple of days. I cannot tell if it plays files because they were all removed during my unsuccessful restore.
I have tried reinstalling all my iPod related software and I have tried my iPod on more than one computer with different USB cables, but nothing works.
Help, please!

This is exactly the same problem that I am having I have posted on 14th March on itunes forum. I wish you luck I wait with interest to see what someone says. My ipod was working like a dream until i downloaded the update

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

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.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- 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.

8GB ipod touch keeps freezing up and won't run apps correctly

I have an 8GB ipod touch that is almost a year old and it keeps freezing up. Some apps that use the motion side to side to move objects, doodlejump for example, won't work. I have reloaded apps and restored the ipod and it is still having a problem. What would be the issue and can it be fixed?

If the restore you did was from backup. restore to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup. If you then still have problems I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If they determine it is a hardware problem and it is within warranty they should give you a replacment iPod.

Back up and update keeps freezing!!

This is so frustrating! I tried to update my Bold 9900 this morning and it just froze at the back up. So I tried to just back up my phone first but it keeps freezing at "Backing up Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and it won't carry on. What am I to do? I'm having major problems with the battery and all sorts, my last blackberry was as good as gold, this one is just awful!!

I'm having the exact same issue. At first I thought it was my new Torch 9860, but after reading this I suspect it's something in the Desktop Software. It does the same thing whether backing up to update or doing a stand-alone backup: it gets to "Database: Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and hangs.
This is really bad because I haven't been able to get a good backup since I switched to my Torch!

My 7th generation 160 g iPod classic keeps freezing, I've only had it for 3 months?

This iPod was ordered brand new 3 months ago, however it keeps freezing and locking up when I try to scroll through menus or switch songs. I would really like this problem to be fixed. How do I go about this?

Try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Latest ipod updater just freezes

I've got the latest ipod updater here and I've been trying to get my ipod updated because one day it just decided to stop working in itunes for some reason, and the updater freezes whenever it loads. It was getting the "ipod service error" thing before, but I reinstalled and now I've upgraded to just freezing. For a minute the first time I loaded it up it showed a list of ipods on the screen and looked like it wanted me to pick one, but it froze on that screen too. What's going on here?
The ipod itself still works fine when i plug it into other things to listen to it... it's just the software that seems to be screwed. Thanks for any help, in advance.

Hi...
It doesn't "freeze" per se, like it does when the ipod is connected, but it just stays at initializing."
I've tried the solutions presented in that link more than a few times with no success.
Oh, second note:
"iPod Updater 2006-06-28 cannot continue because there are other applications using iPod. Please close all iPod applications and try again."
This is after initializing for awhile.

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.

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
