my ipod always freezes now after i restored it ?

If you have the problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Ipod was freezing now it sounds like the HD is racing

hi, i have a 30gb click wheel ipod and have had nothing but problems. the ipod was freezing constantly and had slow responses to the click wheel. now, the ipod is making a continuous noise, similar to a vhs tape being rewinded. i am assuming it is the hard drive. i tried the 5 steps but the ipod wont reset,,,etc. at times the ipod will play music, but it will be the first song and i have no controls,,,when i hook it up to the firewire itunes doesnt recognize the player,,,what do i do at this point
30gb click wheel Windows ME

did this happen after downloading the 1-10-2006 update?

I tried update my software on iPhone4 but my apps started crashing and now after a restore my phone wont show up in my comp or itunes. can I set it up as new and get my old stuff back later?

I tried updating my phone to the iOS5 software. I was over the max capacity of the space in my phone so the uodate failed. After attempting this the apps in my phone wouldn't open. As soon as I click on them the screen would go blank and either stay black or go back to the home screen. Turning my phone off didn't work so the only choice I was able to find was to give my phone a hard reset. This action failed so next I backed up my files and restored my phone. NOW I'm stuck because the phone will not show in windows (xp) OR in iTunes.
My phone is now set in restore mode as to if I want to set it up as a new phone or back up from icloud or itunes, neither of the last two work. If I set up my phone as new, will I be able to reback up my phone to the previous data I had before I restored it? I really don't want to lose any pics or contacts I had.
I've been working on this for 5 hours!! I've been to every site and tried any and every tip I could from apple to fix the problem and have had NO success

If the device is not being detected in iTunes, has a different USB port or sync cable been tried? What about a reboot of the comptuer?
As for pictures/videos taken with the device, they are designed to be copied to a computer on a regular basis. Did you choose to not do this prior to attempting the update? They may be lost at this point (although they should be in the backup, but no guarantees).

What problems or issues do i have if even after all the steps i took to fix my problem with the ipod classic and even after i restore it it fails to be recognized by itunes

even after i restore my ipod it fails to be recognized on my itunes and doenst allow me to format it. been through all the trouble shooting steps and disk mode an still wont work properly plz help someone

I need my phone not only because it it my alarm clock in the morning, but because i use it excessively at work. PLEASE HELP !

IPod classic freezing computer after restore

My iPod had to be reformatted from mac to windows. I went to the iPod front page and clicked restore and it went through the restore process fine. When it was finished my iTunes locked up so i reset my computer. When I turned it back on it started fine then froze iTunes again when I plug the thing in. I went to my computer and it wasn't able to actually get into the iPod, it was showing up as drive "I" already and I have no other peripherals attached. I reset my computer again, updated iTunes and plugged in my other iPod. This one worked fine, transfered songs correctly and what not. Tried the other one and it's still freezing. What the **** happened? It's an iPod classeic 30g serial: 8K6322JEWEJ
Message was edited by: circuitj3rky

When i start plug it in after disabling iTunes from starting when I plug it in I'm able to browse it through my computer. I formatted it and then it showed up in iTunes again. When i restored it again it is back to doing the same thing, even on another computer with a completely fresh install of iTunes.

IPod Classic freezes Itunes and wont Restore

I have a IPod Classic 120GB.
I was saving a file onto my IPod because i also use it as a hard drive, and the file wouldn't save. Then i noticed that iTunes froze. So i tried saving again and nothing happened.
So i unplugged my IPod and had to go to the task manager to close iTunes.
Every time i plug my iPod into my computer, it freezes iTunes. I'v tried accessing files by going to the ipod and opening it from there and going to programs such as photoshop and opening it through there and all of them say that they cant open it, then they freeze as well. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and then reinstalling a earlier version but that didnt work, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled the latest version of itunes and that didnt work either.
I tried plugging my ipod into another computer and when i click on a normal jpg. image to open from my ipod, it says that the file isnt even there, but there is an icon showing it there.
Im asumeing all my files are corrupt, so i tried to reset my ipod more than once by pressing the select + menu button for 10 seconds, then when the apple appears, i pressed the select + play to get into disk mode. there is get a check mark and connect message, nothing else happens. I tried pluggin it into my computer when i get that screen on my ipod and nothing happens cept my itunes again freezes. So i cant seem to plug it into itunes so i can restore my ipod.
when i have my ipod plugged into my computer, and i start my computer, my computer goes to a black screen, and in white words says something about
Volume Serial number 3141-5926
Fat32
check for consistancy,
and it does then says that all my files on the hard drive are unreadable and have been removed.
but when i look into my ipod after, their all still there. I tried deleting them by going into my computer, opening my ipod hard drive, but the moment i go to delete them, that too freezes.
I also recieve notifications from windows that it cant even connect to my Ipod.
also the hold switch, is not in the on position, its always been in the off position, and my iPod itself has never frozen.
Im running Vista.
I dont care that i lose everything on my ipod, i just want to set it back to factory condition like when i first bought it. I just cant seem to do so.
Help Please

He plugged it into his Mac and then it too froze his iTunes, then when he tried to access the hard drive his Mac crashed. He basically had the same problems as i did with it at home.
Eeek! Sounds like it was being "The iPod Of Doom".
Thank you so much for trying to helping me. I printed this all off and showed him and since he said we tried everything we could and it also wouldnt work for them either, we just replaced it.
Thanks very much for letting me know, Ty! (Always a relief to know I was on the right track with a troubleshoot.)
Glad you got a good resolution. Hope the new iPod behaves itself a bit better for you.

My iPod is locked now after being connected to my JVC receiver in my truck?

I have had my ipod connected via the usb to my JVC recevier in my truck. It has been like this for sometime as I dont always take it out the truck or unplug it from the receiver all the time. The other day after starting the truck the JVC screen said " no usb" and the ipod froze up,it would not do anything. It does not work connected to my mac or anything else. Can the ipod be unfrozen so to speak or is it toast?

Well hopefully it's not toast but if you can't restore via USB on your Mac... you could try taking it to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop. Make sure the battery is charged before connecting the iPod to your Mac then try the 5R's here > Apple - Support - iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant

IPod 3rd Gen bricked after attempted restore???

I have a 3rd Gen iPod that was originaly formated for windows. I wanted to format it for the mac using the "restore" in iTunes on my mac. There was some issue, iTues said it was unable to update the firmware. Next thing I know is that the iPod restarted itself and I saw the usual progresion bar at the bottom after a firmware update. After all that the ipod will not move past the apple logo startup screen. The hard drive continues to spin (until the battery dies). Connecting it to a computer does nothing. iTunes doesn't see it and neither does Disk Utility. Resetting the ipod just brings it back to the spot in the software where it hangs up again. I feel as if I already know the answer that it's now a door stop (not even a good one)

Sorry for the curt/short explanations, but I am very frustrated.
My computer recognizes my iPod. iTunes does not.
iTunes does not recognize my other nano (2gb) or my friends shuffle. However, when my friend's shuffle is plugged into the computer, the iTunes window will pop up though I still can't see the actual device. On my nano and video, iTunes does not pop up.
In response I have...

My ipod mini freezed,now shows a sad ipod icon

Good Afternoon.
The last thing my ipod-mini did was to freeze on a song title without playing it,then when battery finished,after few hours it was only able to show the apple,then the sad icon and the address www.apple.com/sopport/ipod and the half battery icon as if recharging but not when connected to my pc.
My pc does not recognise it at all.
It is 20 months old not covered by insurance anymore.
What do you suggest?!
Thank you very much,
Jessica :o(

Hey Jessica!
What you'll need to do is restore your iPod if it's experienceing the sad-faced icon on the screen.
Restoring is done in iTunes, though, so your iPod will need to be recognized in order to restore it.
First, try putting your iPod into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer to restore.
If that attempt doesn't work, then try the <a href="Five R's</a>, and check out the other things to try in this article -> <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711">iPod isn't recognized in Windows or in iTunes
Also, please see Mitch 731's very useful post here; it's all about the sad iPod icon: Sad iPod icon/my iPod idsplays a folder icon with an exclamation point!
I hope that helps you.

My Poor iMac... Always Freezing now...

It's sure funny how my Apple IIc still works and my PowerMac G5 (non-intel) still works well but yet all my Intel Based systems seam to crash then die.
I'm really getting tired replacing them if ya know what I mean. And it usually happens AFTER the warranty runs up. I mean REALLY!??!
Anyway, I have 20" Aluminum iMac 1.3
iMac7,1
SMC Version -1.20f4
2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB
And after upgrading to OSX 10.7.3 things were going along just great. I even started using XCode 4.3.2 and desiging some apps and right in the middle of a project all of a sudden a hang.
Symptoms:
See Desktop and items I'm running,
Mouse moves
Everything else frozen in time...
After a force reboot I cleared the PRAM just cause.
Then it Hang on entering password to enter.
Then after another forceboot, I was able to get in, but now it hangs.. sometimes it takes a min sometimes a few seconds, sometimes it doesn't even enter the system after logging in... sometimes it works fine for an hour then hangs.
I tried a fresh install of both 10.6.x and 10.7 and it hung during the process..
grrrr!
I'm back to 10.7 (point nothing) and it seams to be hanging on.. .however it did have a graphics glitch during login.
I hate throwing money away.
Any help without taking it to the Apple Store?
I really don't have any Help $$ I can spend at this time.. or tomorrow for that matter...
Please help!!!

When you say run Apple Hardware Test, where exactly am I running that from? Since I have 10.7 on there now, it's on the USB Key that the OS is on (no longer cd) I run the only thing that I see which is the Disk Utility and what I see is that when "Verfy Disk" is ran it sees no problems, but when I run "Verify Disk Permissions" it sees lots of problems (this is directly after a fresh clean install).
All the Permissions differ in the following areas no matter how many times I do a "Repair Disk Permissions"
"usr/share/devicemgr/frontend/admin/....fr.lproj.../app/javascript.js"
All items between the ... ... are related to other language files.
Then the last line says:
Group differs on "library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist"; should be 80; group is 0
I will look into what you mean with running Console in a moment.
One thing to note, the system doesn't freeze when booted to the USB OS X installer.

Webcam always freezes soon after starting a call, ...

Hello all! I'm on Windows 8.1. So, I have a big problem - about 30 seconds or less after starting a Skype video chat, my camera freezes for the person on the other end... forever. It happens every single time.
Using Process Explorer, I've found that unsurprisingly 'Skype.exe' is using it - HOWEVER there are always 2 instances simultaneously running. Only in Process Explorer do 2 instances show - not in Task Manager or Resource Monitor. Although in the volume mixer there are 2 separate Skype volume controls and if I shut Skype down, 1 separate control stays open for a minute or so. The webcam also stay on for a few minutes after I've shut Skype down - why is this? If I were paranoid I'd think that someone was hacking and spying on me! ; )
I have Googled and Googled and Googled with no results, no joy. I've uninstalled it, re-installed it and I don't have a Skype web plug-in (in case that was the cause). I am using the desktop version, not the app as I loathe the apps. I uninstalled the app, in fact - in case that was what was causing the issue, and as I never used it.
This is getting very frustrating - can someone please, PLEASE help me?

Hi,
I have started having exactly the same issue two days ago.
Me: Windows 7 SP1 x64
Partner: Windows 8.1 x64
Skype for Desktop 6.22.81.105
Every time I call my partner the video freezes on the other end after a few seconds (quickest was 5 longest 2 and then becomes a white spinning circle. Sometimes it comes back for a few seconds and then dies again. Restarting the video on my end helps for another 5 to 28 seconds. On my end I can see us both. Reinstalled my webcam drivers, upgraded to latest Skype version (was 6.20 before), tried disabling the firewall, tried the same set of actions on the other end. Also tried deleting Skype folders under AppData/Roaming and AppData/Local on both ends. Checked the temperature monitors on both ends - no overheating. Tried upgrading graphics drivers on the other end. Tried changing ports in the connection settings - did not help either.
Some of the other things we have tried:
Me calling my partner from a different account - freezes
Me calling my partner on a different account - freezes
Me calling my partner from a tablet connected to same network as computer - no freezes
Me calling my other account on a tablet connected to same network as computer - no freezesI am yet to try calling someone else with these scenarios.
Previously we used to spend up to 11 hours on a call without any issues.
Enabling logging did not result in any logs being created at all - and yes, I do have hidden files displaying enabled in Windows.
I have full access to both machines and will be happy to provide any logs and whatnot - given that they exist of course. Our alternative at the moment is Google Hangouts but its much less reliable and has to work through a browser - permanently leaving Skype for it would suck.
Thanks!
