My Ipod has Frozen twice now

Half way through a song it has frozen on me and I've had to wait till the battery died once and the next time I took it apart and unplugged the battery. I also tried many times to plug it into my computer and reseting it many time with no change to the unit. Is there a reason for this to be happening? Ive only had it for 5 months. Is there a way I can get it to stop freezing or a better way then waiting for the battery to die?

Hey froger,
I have a couple of options here. None of these are guaranteed to work, but you've got nothing to lose by trying them.
First things first!
When the iPod decides to freeze, I want you to try the 5 R's. The instructions on how to do this can be found by clicking here : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/five_rs/
The other thing I could reccommend is that you dont have too many videos and photos, and you dont have over what your iPod can hold in terms of songs.
If none of these help, I suggest you call your nearest Apple store and tell them the situation. As it is within its warranty (you've only had it 5 months), they will try and fix it free of charge, and if they cant fix it, you have the right to ask for a brand new one, again, free of charge.
I hope this helps,
Ryan

HT1363 my ipod was frozen but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about that?

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

My ipod has frozen tried to reset but no luck please help??

Ipod has frozen I have tried to reset it but no luck, please help?

Let's ensure you are doing the reset process correctly.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

My ipod has frozen and the wheel will not spin

my ipod has frozen and i cannot get the wheel to spin

Perhaps it would be a good idea to try a hard reset of the device. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If the issue still persists, you'll want to connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings allowing it to receive a fresh new copy of its software and rebuild all of its essential databases that could have become corrupt. This will help rule out a software issue.

My ipod has frozen and isn't being recognised by itunes

Recently, my iPod has been having troubles. It's been freezing in the middle of songs and when I try to change track, and, up till today, it's recovered. It's now been frozen for three hours. I restored the factory settings a couple of days ago, and it workeds, but only for a few hours.
This morning, it froze in the middle of the song, and it's now not being recognised by iTunes. I've tried to do a hard reset, but it's not responding at all.
It's an iPod Classic 30GB, and I think it's a 5th Generation. I got it second hand, and so I don't think I can take it and get it fixed and whatnot without paying money. Is it worth getting a new iPod? There is an Apple store near me, so I can take it in and see what they say, but as I said, it's second hand and it's past the warrenty.

Charge the iPod for at least 2 hours
Do the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center Button simultaneously for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons
Refer to this Apple Support article on the 5Rs.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If you plan to get a new iPod, get the iPod Touch and avoid at all cost the iPod Classic, the new generation of HD in the iPod Classic appear to be not very sturdy and reliable, in my Opinion, yours is still more sturdy, (6 years old), but the battery and hardisk would be in the last lap. The full charge battery should last at least 20 hours of continuos music.
You can do the iPod Disk diagnostic to see the HD health, as posted by tt2.

Don't worry about the Mac user, the DD process refer only to iPod Classic.
Have a nice day!

Hello Norm,
Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear again. Keep in mind, this troubleshooting procedure may take a few attempts.

HELP! iPod has frozen

I need urgent help. My iPod was working fine this afternoon, I plugged it into my comp and now has completely frozen on the Do Not Disconnect screen. It is not charging and even when disconnected it still has the same screen. When plugged back in it says the same. My computer isn't recognising it either. Please help as I need it for a long haul flight tomorrow!

Let the iPod battery die. After it has died, plug it back in and it should be fine. You night not have it for your flight, but it should work again.
There's always that old portable CD player.

My new iPod has frozen!!!

I was happily listening to my music on my ipod and then it just stopped. I cant do anything with it. I cant switch it on, on, change music or anything.
Has anyone else had this problem!?
I am very annoyed with apple.
thanks in anticipation

Yes, I had the very same problem within the first hour of buying the it, I was very ****** off indeed. try this:
flick the hold button to and from hold twice
Then quickly hold the middle select button AND the menu button at the same time for about 8-10 seconds.
give it a try and let me know how it goes.

TS2039 After saving an Excel document on my Mac ( I do have Office Mac), it will not reopen and gives error code -43. It will also say that there is no such file, although the file is in the document box. Has happened twice now with big files.

I work on Excel files through my Office Mac program. On two occasions, a large Excel file, (about 1.5 MB) will not save and is not recoverable. It gives me an error code -43.
I work on many such files without problem, but this has now happened on two occasions with important files.

If it only happens with very large spread sheets, and only happens randomly, then one possibility is a buffer overflow, i.e., some piece of data is so large as to clobber the data that follows it. If that is the case then the problem would only manifest itself if (a) you happen to access that data, (b) write beyond its allocation, and (c) what's just beyond that gets clobbered is something involved with the file's pathname. Then when the pathname is needed it can't be found resulting in the -43.
In other words, more "quality" programming from Microsoft...not.
Just a theory.

IPod has "frozen" and wiped out; iPod software "null" on iMac

I connected our older iPod to my Mac the other night. While it is usually synced with iTunes my wife's "side" of the computer, I tried to load my iTunes library onto the iPod. It seemed to be working, but then froze. Although the message on the iPod was "Do not disconnect," I disconnected it. That seemed to have wiped out the contents on the iPod, as well as the iPod software on the Mac. Now when I hook up the iPod to the Mac, the image on the iPod is a disk with a circling magnifying glass. And, I also noticed on the Mac console that all of my prior iPod software updates now have a (null) designation after the task. I assume that means that the programs have been deleted.
How can I get up and running again? Thanks.

Anyone else have this issue? Any luck resolving it? It just happened to mine today. I went to turn it on and all I get is "Wheel Test."
I can't get a menu. I can't even turn it off. Toggle does nothing. I tried to reset, but the computer doesn't recognize that it is even connected. I don't know if it is taking a charge or not.
I've never had a problem or unhappy face on the mini before. Any suggestions?
