My 'brand new' iPod 5G ver1.2 keeps crashing and locking up... HELP?

Hi Folks
Any ideas?
My brand new iPod 5G 80GB keeps crashing! Sometimes the only way to recover is to let the battery run flat then it will reset as the Menu/Select will not work?
Does anyone else have this problem?
F.Y.I. Especially crashes when launching 'Vortex' as it enters the main game menu?
Regards
Jay

Hi...
To 'fire' a software reset, just enable/disable
hold-function sometimes and click & hold the menu-
and ok-button the same time! You may do this several
times!!! On success, your iPod will startup with the
apple logo and needs some time to re-run the menu!
My iPod has been crashed two times in a week now and
this reset works for me!
Regards,...
Hi Kaju
Thanks for your suggestion, Today this method of reset would not work.. All key presses where not recognised.. now I sit here as I type this at Edinburgh airport with a dead battery on my iPod as this was the only way to reset it, i.e. let it run out of battery power. f.y.i. I get the Apple logo when I try and use it then the battery low warning then it swtiches off.. So I'm guessing it's now reset, won't find out till I get home and near a charger (fingers crossed :-~)
Not a good situation I had a 3G 20GB iPod up until last week when I purchased this one. The older 3G 'NEVER' crashed in all the years I had it.. I hope Apple release a bug fix soon as reading here I see others have lots of 'crashing' problems with other 5G iPods..
Thanks for your suggestion once agian.
Regards
Jay

Brand New ipod Touch wont turn on and isnt recognized by windows or macbook

I just got my ipod touch and macbook today. When i press the button on top of the ipod, it wont do anything. Also, when i plug the ipod into my macbook and my other PC, they both dont recognize it. Nothing has come up on the ipod's screen. Should i take it to the apple store in my area? Thank you all!

Hi--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sorry to hear about your iPod. If you're close to an Apple store, then I'd definitely take it in and have them look at it, especially if it won't turn on when it's plugged into the MacBook or the PC. Even if the battery was drained out (unlikely on a brand new iPod), it should start up when it's getting power from the USB bus.
It's probably best to check out this list of Apple Stores:
http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
Pick the one closest to you, then make a reservation at the Genius Bar. It's been a while since I had to do that, but I think I had to wait until after midnight, or maybe until around 6 AM the day I wanted to go in.

Iphone 4 Keeps crashing and restarting, No help from Applecare

My iPhone 4 keeps crashing and restarting and AppleCare is unable to duplicate the issue or resolved the issue.
Recently my iphone randomly started crashing or it would freeze then i have to restart using power and home button, These are few things that I have already tried to resolve the issue:
1: Restore to factory settings and start over from scratch.
2. Deleted recently updated apps to see which one could be causing the issue, but the issue is still there.
3. Re-downloaded ios 5.1 and did a fresh restore.
After doing all this I called Applecare and they suggested to send in my phone and they will replace it and send me a new one since Im still having the issue after doing all of the above. Today I recieved my phone back from Applecare stating that the issue was resolved or not duplicated. So I did a restore once again and from one of the saved files that I had setup as a new phone. In the last 6 hours my phone has froze once, and crashed twice. I called Applecare again and he suggested to send the iphone in again and he will put in the notes to give it max time to detect the issue.
Are there any other alternatives? The closest Apple store is 140 miles from my house and Im fedup with sending in the phone and getting it back w/o the issue being solved. Thanks for the help in advance.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, resest, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you still have problems after going through ALL the recommended troubleshooting steps, then you likely have a hardware issue. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My iPod touch 4gen keeps crashing and lagging?? Help??

I have recently updated my iPod touch 4th generation to the new iOS 6.1.2, which I now seriouslyregret doing after reading a lot of the bad reviews on it for iPod 4g users. Whenever I open an app, after about a minute or a few seconds it crashes, especially Facebook and Tumblr, Safari and Google. My iPod is incredibly slow, especially when trying to type. My power button/lock button is broken, and I am currently using the Assistive Touch. I don't think there is a way of turning it off now without leaving my iPod useless. I've had my iPod for about two years now, and up until now I've had no crashing/lagging problems. Even the App Store, iTunes, Photos, and General crashes, and I am becoming very ****** off. I don't have the money to get it fixed and I don't know how to restore it, nor Jailbreak it, even though I don't think you're supposed to. I don't want my iPod to become useless because I use it all the time and I don't have the money to replace it. If anyone can help, please do! I seriously don't want to have to just throw it away :/ Also, if I can downgrade it to iOS 5.1.1, will that help matters any? Thanks.

Looks like a visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

BRAND NEW iPod not "recognized" by itunes and "appears to be corrupted"????

I recently purchased an 80gb ipod classic and when I came home to connect it to my computer, itunes opened and the following message appeared:
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod
I just got this, and had never even turned it on, so how can it already be corrupted? I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the ipod, to no avail. I then restored the ipod, again still message. I even quit iTunes and then reopened it, and still it says the same thing.
Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

Any idea on what's going on? This is really annoying/frustrating considering it's brand new.
ughh

Thanks, I ended up getting the newest version of iTunes (I had 7, just not 7.7 or whatever that little insignificant update was) and then tried again. This time, itunes itserlf wouldn't even open because that version of itunes only worked with Mac OS X 10.4.10, and I had 10.4.4
I did a software update for my OS, which I HATE doing because of all the glitches and possible problems associated with updates but restarted the computer.
After doing Opaldad's helpful tip, I connected the ipod and restored it. After that, its working perfectly.
Thanks for the help
and to anyone who has this in the future, make sure you have the current version of itunes and your OS
Now, just have to wait for my 14 gb of music to upload

Brand New iPod Touch - It's stuck and not being recognized by iTunes

I just got a new iPod Touch for a gift. I plugged it in and it needed to update software to 4.0. I allowed it to download and install and left the computer alone. Came back and it is currently stuck showing the screen with the USB and the iTunes symbol. It is no longer recognized on iTunes when I plug it in. I cannot get it off this screen, I would do a restore but iTunes does not recognize this. When I plug the iPod touch in, it shows up in device manager as Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) (2 of them). I am able to install the drivers on one and the other it will not let me and gives me a code 10. This is very frustrating especially since I have owned it less than 5 hours.
PLEASE HELP I HAVE SEARCHED FOR HOURS NOTHING WORKS!!!

Try Updating Itunes to the latest version

HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible. Help!!

Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago. Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do? Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

Why can I not synch my brand new IPod with one purchased itune and 2 riped from a CD, both of which are shown in my itunes account. The unhelpful "support" suggests I click an icon pictured but not in any screen view available to me. This is really off-pu

Just bought an IPod Classic and put 3 songs on my iTunes account - 1 purchased and 2 from a CD. I can't sync and the screen shot shown in the help section doesn't ressemble my scren views. i have now been on hold for 55 minutes despite a mesage saying "15 minutes or more" that implied a much quicker experience. This is really an unimpressive begining.

My iPod has seemed to crash and I need help/answers

Hello,
I purchased my iPod Touch 4th Gen about two months ago through Best Buy. As of today I was on it and it was working fine, after about a thirty monute period I went to check it and it would not unlock by pressing the lock or home button. I tried plugging it in to my laptop and it wouldn't even connect there.. I've tried everything I can possibly think of and have exhausted the past 4 hours trying to figure out what it could possibly be. I've combed through a few of the posts on here and it appears to be showing signs that it crashed but I want to be positive because just yesterday my phone screen cracked so now I need to replace that nad if my iPod is dead I'm going to kill two birds with one stone and go for the iPhone via Version. Any help is greatly appreciated and is desparately requested.
Thanks,
Rob

What have you tried?
- Did you reset the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Did you try placing the iPod in recovery mode and restoring it. For recovery mode see:

Firefox is in conflict with Flash player. Flash keeps crashing and locking up Firefox. Also, may be effecting Outlook. Downloaded the current rev of Flash. Still crashing. Please advise.

Of late, when ever I attempt to listen to radio online, or view video, the viewer / Flash crashes, locks up Firefox, and seems to also have some sort of effect on MS Outlook.

It could be that hardware acceleration in Flash is causing it (and Firefox) to crash. Try following this to disable it: [[Managing the Flash plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang]]
