My ipod freezes while backing up and wont let me sync anything :S

can someone please help me..i restored the old setting on my ipod to see if it will work but now i just have an empty ipod touch..it wont let me sync my ipod because it keeps freezing while backingup..

Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to make an entire new file. It is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

My ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music

my ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music. how can i fix it or cani get a new one?

- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
If not under warranty, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place might be less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

5th generation ipod freezes while playing music and syncing

i have a 5th gen ipod.its about 3 years old.i had no problems with it until recently.while playing music or podcast the i have noticed that weird whirring noises come from the ipod.the music or podcast plays but the buttons dont work.like if i try to pause or go back to the menu.also the battery drains out.while playing a video it freezes.
i have restored it several times.still the problem persists.
restarting the ipod doesnt solve the problem as it freezes again.
even removing the files that freeze doesnt solve the problem.please help

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

I bought a movie from iTunes and my iPod was syncing so i thought it would sync the movie too. Well it did but it didnt for some reason I dont know it shows up on my iPod, but its grayish looking and wont let me play it at all. Help!?

I go to my computer (PC) and log into my iTunes and everything and see Pitch Perfect so thinking I've got enough money for this I can just buy it no problem. Meanwhile, my iPod Touch 4th Generation is syncing to my PC. Me thinking I have enough storage space for the movie to be held. I buy it and think its gonna goahead and be on my iPod now. When the movie is done downloading I go to the videos app on my iPod and see it. It is grayish and I didnt know if it was normal or not so i just click dont work, click again, click again,click again.Not working. Then i come here for somebody else to help me.

TS1538 my i pod touch says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes" so i tried to connect to itunes and it says"ipod is locked with passcode enter passcode on your ipod" but i can't it wont let me do anything ive tried reseting it but that doesn't work either

i have no idea what to do please help

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I have an ipod 8generation and i deleted all of my things to download a few shows then deleted them to get my things back but it wont let me it says i have no space. Why?

Hello,
Sometimes that you see something it saves in cache, (or could be that the show is in progress to be deleted) so here's the problem.
Just restart your device to see if the cache of the shows deletes themselves.
Then try to import your music again.
Cheers.
You can use this tool to quickly clean all the cache that needs to be deleted-

My ipod has just turned off and wont come back on

my ipod has just turned off and wont come back on but i know it had a good amount of battery left and if i plug it into my computer or docking station nothing happens please help...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod went through the wash about two years ago and now the wifi is dimed out and wont let me turn it on. :/

okay so , my ipod is about two years old and went through the washer and dryer. no one has used it for two years because no one ever took the time to fix it, until now when my previous ipod cracked and barley works now. So i took it upon my time to fix this washed ipod and i have been able to successfully restore it and , backup, and restore backup. i have also reset the network settings, and still my wifi is dimmed out and wont let me switch it on, i have read the apple websites resolution to this problem and i have tried it and they do not seem to work as my wifi is still DIMMED out. I would like to switch over to this one because my cracked one is hard to use, but in order for me to use this one it would be very nice to have wifi so i could download apps, and when i restored and reset the ipod to act like a new one, it wont even let me sign in to my apple id because i do not have Internet, now the funny part is my wifi is working fine for my 5 family members and their phones/android tablets, i am the only one who has an apple device. please right back!!! thanks!

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
