Loose screen, inside is visible, ipod is freezing

my ipod nano fifth generation has some problems! i was using it on a car ride at night and in the drak the backlight made me notice that the screen is loose and i can shift it around w/ my finger. and when i looked at the top-area [as in with the hold button]i could see the lights on inside the ipod. I also find that my ipod slows down in the middle of games and it freezes sometimes, especially on cover flow. Should I get my ipod checked out at an apple store so i could possibly get a new one cuz it seems like a huge mess!

you're also in the wrong forum. 5th gen nano is here

IPod touch 5th generation loose screen

If an iPod touch 5 screen gets to loose what will happen?

You will eventually be exposing the inside of the iPod to the elements. Water, debris, etc. Dont let it get too loose.

My ipod keeps freezing up between screens

My ipod keeps freezing up between screens.. it won't reboot... the only way i can fix it is to let the battery die and recharge it...

When your iPod freezes, it's not necessary to wait until the battery drains, you should just be able to reset it. If the freezing persists, then try restoring it.
Yes, you should be able to get it serviced under the warranty if the fault persists.

Are your iPod Nano's have some loose parts inside?

Hey everybody,
I recently got my black iPod nano 4GB. After using it for a couple of days I've noticed that when I shake it a little (not very strong ... not to break it I'm sure) I can feel that inside it there is some loose part that goes back and forth from one side of my ipod to the other one (inside of course). I was wondering whether there's something wrong with my iPod 'couse my girlfriend has same 2GB device, and I'can't feel any loose parts in hers when I shake it.
I suppose it's the battery, becouse I've seen some technical manual on the internet of my iPod, and the biggest part was the bettery. Why would it be loose?
I mean my iPod works perfectly and I'm not having any problems with it, but it just annoys me that I've spent 250$ on something that is not fully perfect
Would apple take care of it for free?
I think I would have some problems becouse I bought it in USA and now I'm back in Poland, where I live, so it would probably took forever to send it to states and I don't think apple would pay for an international package?
Thanks in advance,
mrdol.

I'm sitting here shaking mine and there's nothing loose inside.
You should contact Apple's support and see what they can do for you. I think they will often help with international issues with portable devices.

Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white. Ihave restarted it and restored it but it didn't work. Anyone know what is wrong with it and how it can be fixed?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

What can I do if my ipod fell and separated the screen from the things inside? i can separate them completley and see the inside of my ipod. It still works, it just doesn't display any image or whatsoever

Please help me! I just want to know what can i do to make it work again, do I have to take it to an Apple store or something? btw i bought it like two years ago, so my guarantee is not valid anymore.

IPod classic freezes when plugged in

Whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, it freezes at the "Connected, Eject before disconnecting." screen. The actual iPod freezes and I have to reset it to use it again.
Details:
1. My main computer is a PC with Windows XP. I've tried 2 different PCs and a Mac, none of them recognize it.
2. It charges properly while connected by USB.
3. My Computer doesn't always recognize it, when it does see a drive there and I try to access it, Explorer crashes.
4. iTunes doesn't always recognize there's an iPod attached, when it does recognize that its there, it offers to restore after telling me the iPod was corrupted, but never goes past the "Restoring" mini-window.
5. I can't restore since everytime I plug it in the iPod freezes.
I've tried resetting the iPod repeatedly, reinstalling the USB drivers, re-registering the Windows .dll's (even though the same thing occurs on MacOSX), to no avail.
My data and music is still there. I can still play it. I just can't sync or restore my iPod at all.
Any ideas?
TIA

There have been countless threads about this issue, and apple just locks them and acts like nothing is wrong.
As of now, the only solution to this problem is to return the ipod.

Ipod touch, Freezing while syncing.

everytime i connect my ipod it syncs my music and pictures fine, but when it starts to sync my apps it syncs about 3 apps. Then my ipod freezes while syncing, forcing me to restore my ipod from recovery mode. When i say it freezes, i mean that my ipod has the "Sync In Progress" screen, with the battery in the center, and on the bottom of the screen the "Slide To Cancel Sync" on the slider. normaly the slider is always flashing highlighting a few letters at a time, across the screen, saying "Slide To Cancel" When it freezes the slider stops flashing/scrolling and then a little spinning wheel starts to spin in the center of my ipod, on the battery logo. After about, 30 seconds the wheel stops spinning, my itunes freezes up, and my iPod touch freezes up. as soon as i disconect my frozen ipod, my itunes works again. then my ipod is stuck on the frozen "sync in progress" screen. i then have to do the long recovery/restore. Then i decided change my settings from automatic syncing to selecting what i sync. I synced my music, fine. I synced my Pictures, fine. i then decided to sync one app at a time. I first synced solitaire, fine. Then i synced sextuple, fine. Then i synced Super Monkey Ball, my ipod froze!!! So I thought that mabye thats what was freezing up my ipod. then i had to restore my ipod, again. and start the whole process over again. I synced sextuple, fine. Then i Synced super monkey ball, again, and it synced fine. then i synced solitaire, worked fine. then i synced Cube Runner, My ipod froze again. on a totaly different app. i had to restore from recovery mode again, and i synced my music, pictures, super monkey ball, solitaire, and sextuple. then i decided, i will just keep my ipod away from a computer so it won't happen again. so i have 23 apps, and i only have three on my ipod. i really want to keep trying to fix this, but i don't want to have to do a restore, and then have to resync all of my music/pictures again. I really want to know whats up with my ipod. PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO. I WILL BE TOTALY GREATFUL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I have been having the same problem too. i was sick and tired of it so the i brought it to an apple store and basically just told me stuff i already know, then 2 days later it started happening again. So i went to the apple store yet again, different guy same nonsense, "let me check your battery" "let me see if you memory has problems" "don't have too many applications running at the same time" on and on.. all that happened is that they restored it and said it should work... well clearly i go home to sync it, everything freezes, i go back they give me a new one... yet here i am 3 days later still having the problems even with a new ipod. i reinstalled itunes like 6 times, restored my ipod 4 times... so basically everyone is having the same problem... i guess we just gotta wait til apple realizes that they have a big problem to fix and does something for us

Ipod nano freezes pc when connected

Hi,
I bought a brand new I pod 2 weeks ago, loaded the current itunes version and after a few hick ups itunes loaded the music on my ipod. Now a few days later my computer totally freezes as soon as I connect the ipod to the pc. I tried everything, setting back the ipod, deinstall and reinstall itunes, even an older version of itunes, tried all available usb ports (all 2.0 versions)...nothing. I also blocked the firewall and the antivirus guard...nothing.
still full stop when connected. itunes recognizes my ipod on the screen but then it stopps. I have to restart the pc to keep on working with it. I also tried other pc's. An apple one worked fine with my ipod, another pc recognized it on the F drive and did not freeze it so I don't think the little beauty itself is the problem.
Any idea to help my restless soul... ;-)???
PC Windows XP

OK, here I am back again.
My ipod was restored by my friend who used an apple computer with the latest version of itunes 7.....
So I started from scratch, installed an earlier version of itunes (6.0.2 or so), put my music on, connected my ipod (no freezing yet) but it immediatelly asked me to use this ipod with the new version 7.0.2. I then upgraded the existing to 7.0.2 and then...as soon as I connected my ipod it recognized it, told me that it is originally communicating with another bibliothek and asked if I wanted to synchronize or only load the bought items etc...and...
did not load any songs on the ipod and....
Freeeeeeeeezzzzzzeeeee !!!! I could not move any mouse or curser on my pc anymore. What do you mean, should I throw away my computer...it looks like is definetly not the ipod.

Ipod *totally* freezes while jogging

Hey, so I am having a big problem with my iPod. Basically, I usually run with my iPod inside at the gym, and when I do so I rest the iPod on a ledge on the treadmill that I run on. However, recently I've gone out running a few times because I decided that I want more scenery when I run, and after I'd done that a few times the iPod started freezing at random times.
When I say freezing, I don't mean temporarily freezing. I mean freezing that literally nothing other than resetting the device by holding down the menu and center buttons can fix.
What could be going on? My guess is that it is either because the device gets too cold while I'm outside (it was down to about 40 or 35 one of these times), or because the device can't handle the bouncing up and down. But I have *NEVER* had this problem in any other context, like walking. And if it skips, shouldn't it at least remain responsive to the buttons?
Another piece of information that might be useful is that when I do reset it, the battery initially displays as very low when it starts up and then gradually gets higher.
Also, this has happened both in between songs and during them.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Stephen.
I have been having the same problem with my 30G 5G IPod when jogging. To begin with the IPod would freeze until i pulled it out of my back pocket and kept it fairly level in my hand whilst jogging. However, the other night when the IPod froze i brought it out of my pocket keeping it fairly level thinking that the song will continue playing, but the devise was frozen. It would not respond when pressing any of the buttons. As a result i was forced to reset.
The thing that I am most worried about is the fact that the IPod had been skipping more frequently each time i have been jogging up until the point where it completely froze last night, and i wondered if I was causing damage to the IPod.
I don't think the freezing problem is a result of the IPod becoming too cold as I reside in Australia and it is summer down here at the moment and I have been jogging in temperatures around the 30 degrees C/ 86 degrees F.
I was also wondering if there was any way to prevent the IPod from bouncing around in my back pocket (which i feel is the cause of the skipping/freezing). Are ther any other ways to carry your IPod when jogging? Do aftermarket silicon cases help to lessen the bouncing effect?

IPod is freezing..

Can anybody help me with my iPod problem please...
Just a little background, my iPod is 2 years old-
I bought it in September of 2004.
Its the click wheel with black and white screen, 20 GB.
I've heard that the iPod battery only lasts about one year,
but so far I haven't had any problem.
I use my iPod more for disk drive purposes
than for listening to music..
Ok, now here's the problem.
I was uploading some 700MB TV episodes I downloaded,
a couple of them at the same time..
and for some reason an error occured.
From that point on, one of the 700MB files would not erase
from the iPod forever..
I just ignored that problem and kept using it-
it worked fine uploading and downloading other stuff
although there was always that uneraseable file.
(The file was just there.. i couldn't play it, i couldn't erase it, etc.)
And then one day, my computer began freezing..
It would show up in iTunes but not as a disk drive..
If it did show up as a disk drive and I tried to go into
it from My Computer, the whole computer would freeze up.
The iPod also just skipped to the next track by itself
while I was listening to music.
Because I got frustrated, I left alone the iPod for a
couple of days.. and then I tried to plug it in the USB.
Now it wouldn't show up in iTunes nor as a disk drive.
While I was looking at the troubleshoot section,
I tried resetting (which basically didn't do anything because i didn't have any personal setting in my iPod),
and I also tried putting it to disk mode,
which looked like it was working..
but then the iPod would freeze up if I put it to disk mode.
it would freeze up in the "Do not disconnect" screen until
I do the reset steps.
I tried to update it using the lastest iPod updater,
but it would say "can't mount the iPod" or freeze the computer. Sometimes the program itself will freeze in the "initializing" stage, while the computer can't even recignize my iPod.
What's wrong?
Thanks for reading this long message.
Please solve my problem-
Do I need to take it to the iPod store?

Hello,
As I read your post, the main thing that was coming to my mind for each of the issues was restore your iPod.
Even though you are having the "can't mount iPod" issue (because you need the Updater to restore your iPod), try this (though you might have done a combination of steps like this already):
Eject your iPod from computer (for now).
Close Updater and iTunes programs.
Restart the computer.
Put your iPod into disk mode.
Connect your iPod to your computer.
See if your Updater works for your iPod.
This is to get your iPod to be recognized by the Updater, then we can restore it. Now here's something I most recommend doing:
The "Can't mount iPod" issue is a fairly strong indicator that your iPod's hard drive is somehow out of place (it might be a connection issue still, but I tend to doubt that). Try this:
Tap your iPod firmly on either side of it several times with your hand. This may work for you to tap your iPod's hard drive back into place.
I hope this helps you!
