My Ipod is crazy, sometimes works and sometimes don't

This started two days ago, I was looking for one song when my ipod got frozen, so I thought of letting my ipod on until the battery was empty, but ten minutes later my ipod started to play again.
The next day I couldn't use it in my computer, it didn't recognized my ipod at all, so I disconected it, but again it was frozen, and again three times after that my ipod got frozen.
Today again with the same problem, my ipod sometimes gets frozen and sometimes works fine. The only thing even strange than that is that at the time my ipod is frozen you hear like the hard drive is seeking for something but it sounds really bad, like if the hard drive is stuck with something, and when finally the ipod got unfrozen again the sound but this time much harder than the first time, that is always the same way.
Well I need the help of somebody who can give me a hand and I will really apreciate that, and sorry about my english I don't know if I made a mistake but sorry again and I will like your help with my ipod.

Ok, this is a different thread, but almost exactly explains what happened with mine:
"Backstory:
I let battery run all the way down to do a complete charge. Plugged it into computer and looked like it was charging eventhough it did not appear on the desktop. After ten min of charging or so, it restarted then shut down... then restarted and shut down.. repeatedly. It would go through about 5 of these "restarting" cycles before completely turning off... but then it would start the cycles again. It did this for about 30 min.
Finally after looking up some topics here, I decided to try disk mode. This was successful and I was able to charge the battery to full. BUT it still didn't appear on the desktop and I couldn't turn it on.
It is currently still in disk mode (with a check mark) with about half battery. (unplugged)"
So mine is also, still, in disk mode. I can plug the usb in and charge it, but i'm not sure whether to charge the battery or let it run out. I am also completely stuck in "Disk Mode" and I can't even reset it.
My computer recognizes when it is plugged in, because the little "safely remove hardware" dialog box comes up, but it does not recognise the IPOD. I have tried running the updater, it didn't recognise the iPod, and said "iPod service error". So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the iPod about 3 times all together, but that didn't work either.
Right now it is in black and white, and it has a black checkmark (backlight will not turn on) and says "ok to disconnect"... even though the usb is not plugged in.
I just bought this last week for my birthday, so I am fairly new to iPod. But I am very good with most electronics, but this has me completely stumped..
I can press any button, or any button combination, and nothing happens. The only thing that is working is the "hold" slider and when I plug in the usb.
If you helped me fix this, I don't know how I could thank you.

  • A Mail keyboard shortcut I set sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - why?

    Using the keyboard shortcut panel I changed the keyboard shortcut for "Send" to CMD+E.
    After quitting and restarting Mail I can see in the menus that this is showing CMD+E now.
    Problem is - when composing a message sometimes CMD+E works and the mail gets sent and sometimes I just get a beep and nothing happens.
    Why would that be?

    My point is that the behavior that motivated your post is not necessarily a bug itself. The bug is somewhere else. The reason sometimes it works as you expect and sometimes it doesn't could very well be that sometimes the other command is enabled (thus causing it to be chosen) and sometimes it isn't (thus causing Send to be chosen).
    Actually, I've just tried it, out of curiosity, and the Edit > Find > Use Selection for Find is indeed sometimes enabled and sometimes disabled when a new message is created depending on where the cursor is located, so I maintain that what you call second bug is probably not a bug at all. Rather it's expected behavior resulting from a conflict that you've introduced.
    The bug is somewhere else, namely whatever it is that prevents the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane to realize that there is a conflict and whatever it is that causes the shortcut to disappear from the other command when its menu is displayed. But that's not what is causing the behavior that motivated your question. That behavior is the expected behavior when two commands have the same keyboard shortcut and the one that gets the first chance at handling the command is sometimes enabled and sometimes disabled.
    Does it sound like I have it right?
    Almost.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • My Flash player sometimes works and sometimes does not

    I have an issue with my flash player on one specific website. Here is the link:
    http://www.joj.sk/sudna-sien/sudna-sien-archiv.html
    Sometimes I can play videos from archive and sometimes can´t. I use Windows 7.
    I thought it is a problem of the server where are the videos stored. But on my secom computer (Windows Vista) the videos works fine, so server problerm I can exclude.
    I use the same version of the flash player on the both computers. It is 10.2.152.32 . Las time when it did not work, I installed the newest version of the Flash player, but it did not work too. So I installed back the older vesion 10.2.152.32.
    On Youtube i never had this problem. It works fine.
    I have no idea where can be the problem. Is there any setting for flasplayer or cache or cokkies or something else, or maybe firewall?  Please help.  Thanks.

    P.S. all videos on that site play fine for me with Flash Player 11.1.102.55.

  • DHCP reservations sometimes work and sometimes not.

    Hello.
    I have created a few DHCP reservations in my enivoriment. Some of the reservations do take and some do not. I even recreated the reservations verified the MAC addresses rebooted the PC also a IPCONFIG/release and IPCONFIG/renew
    still will not grab the IP address set in the reservation.
    What more can I look at since some reservations work and some do not?

    Hi,
    Does the client get the IP address from the DHCP server which has reservations? You may check this by "ipconfig /all".
    If yes, please check that if there is any warning or error in the event viewer of the DHCP server.
    If no, it means that there is other unauthorized DHCP server in your network.
    If it is possible, please post these warnings and errors here. It's useful for further troubleshooting.
    Hope this helps.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • Why is the text bubble to the same person with another iPhone sometimes green and sometimes blue?

    Why is the text bubble sometimes green and sometimes blue when I text to the same person/number who has an iPhone 4s?

    Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
    If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

    Upgraded to IOS 7 and phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't.  What's going on?  I've missed several calls but my phones been sitting right in front of me (Yes, the sound switch is turned on on the side)
    What's going on?  Its Random!

    Your phone might be on do not disturb mood... So, when it's locked, you receive no calls. If you see a crescent at the top of your screen, go to setting, do not disturb, and turn off the manual
    Hope that help
