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.

Update your ipod and make sure it is up to 1.2.1
If it is up to date, restore your ipod.

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...

30gig ipod video keeps resetting itself

my 30gig ipod video keeps resetting until it runs out of battery life, if i have it connected to my pc, it just keeps resetting indefinately, and if i disconnect it, it does so until it runs out of battery.
i've already reset it manually, returned it to factory conditions, I dont know what else to do, any help at all would be appreciated.

Hello eonitwat,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try manually forcing the iPod into Disk Mode and then reconnecting to your computer. This might prevent the iPod from continuously rebooting to allow you enough time to try and reformat the iPod completely using the tools provided by Windows.
Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod on WIndows. The instructions are for Vista and XP, but you'll find that Windows 7 is very similar to Windows Vista.

If still no luck, you may want to consider having the iPod serviced.
Worth a shot.

My videos keep freezing up on my 30 gig I-pad 2 a few seconds into the program.

I bought a 30 gig I-pad 2 about 4 months ago and videos keep freezing up even from I-pad apps. What can I do?

all videos or some?
Could be a couple of things. if it is one or two specific videos, they may be corrupted. try to re load and try again.
If it is happening frequently, take a look at how much stuff you may have open. double tap the home button to see the task bar. touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them all by touching the minus sign.
then reboot the pad by pressing the home and sleep button together until you see the apple logo. ignore the red slider.

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.

30g Ipod Video keeps rebooting

I just got the new Itunes 9.0 and synced my Ipod video as usual, but now it just keeps rebooting and is stuck on the black screen with the white apple.
I have tried (twice) going into disk mode, and restoring the Ipod, but it still has the same issue. I have also tried plugging it into a wall charger.
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advanced!

probably the next best thing to try is attempting to reset it while it is connected to a power source (like the PC). see:

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.

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 30gb Freezing COMPUTER?

Everytime I plug my ipod video in the computer recognizes it like its connected and then just freezes up my whole computer. I don't get what is going on. I have all the new itunes and everything and am connecting ipod through USB port. Someone help me please.

I was having the same problem with my 60GB Video iPod. Are you plugging in your iPod before you open iTunes? I know plugging in your iPod is supposed to automatically open iTunes for you, but that seemed to be what was causing the problem for me. If I open iTunes first then plug in my iPod it doesn't crash my computer. I also make sure my iPod is "ejected" and turned off before I unplug it. That seems to save me from crashing my system when I unplug the iPod.
Hope this helps you.

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.

Videos keep freezing- Steps to take

I use a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.3 and its barely a year old. Vidoes saved on my mac keep freezing on run time and videos taken on photobooth. It started initially when I downloaded Microscoft Silverlight. I have deleted it but the problem still presists. I'm not sure what next to do about this.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
