My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

My ipod touch freezes during the backup portion of sync...help

Everytime I try to sync my ipod touch it freezes during the backup portion. Not sure what to do

Go to preferences, devices, and prevent it from syncing automatically.
Disable any and all security/antivirus programs on your computer, restart it, and try to sync it again.
They are most likely interfering with iTunes.
If this does not work, create another user for your computer (as an Administrator), and try to sync your ipod on that user.

IPod shuts down in the middle of songs

I am on my second iPod touch due to this problem and I'm getting very frustrated.
I can either be on the internet, listening to a song, or scrolling through albums and the iPod will freeze for a second and go back to the main screen. This has been starting to happen a lot lately. For instance, on my half hour drive home from work it shut off 5 times in the middle of songs when I am not even touching it.
The battery is charged and I have the latest software on it.
Please help me...

+1. This happens occasionally for me. Been going on for a while both on iPhone 3G and 4.

Brand new iPod keeps freezes all the time, Why?

The problem started early this year with my old iPod classic (couple years old) was beginning to freeze all the time so I just thought it was time to get a new one so I did but the same probably happened straight away and just just died after 2 weeks of constant resting so I got a brand new replacement and the same thing is happening to this one too, my question is why does this still happen and how to stop it?

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care, get a case number and keep it handy.

My new 7th gen nano keeps pausing in the middle of songs

This is the second time I've had this problem. I just returned the other (new) nano to Amazon, and now this one (replacement) has the same problem. Could it be a computer virus? Other family iPods (not gen 7) play just fine.

Is the iPod motionless (like on a table) when you use it for the fitness class? Is anything able to touch its screen or side buttons?
If you are connecting the iPod to an external speaker, does this problem ever happen when you are using your iPod normally, using your headphones?
It seems like the iPod is somehow getting the command to pause, even when you are not doing it intentionally. That command can come from the screen, from the side (center) button, or from the cord. If it's happening randomly, you may want to have the iPod checked, under warranty if it's less than one-year from purchase date. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar.
NOTE: There is also a feature called Shake to Shuffle. It doesn't sound like that is being activated, but you may want to turn OFF that feature to see if it makes any difference. I have it turned OFF, because it is annoying when it happens at "random" times when I move my iPod in a certain way.

My Mac keeps freezing in the middle of applications (most notable Safari) requiring me to shut down and restart. It also freezes during video playback (online and using Quicktime). Do I need to wipe and reinstall OS? I'm thinking I have a virus........

Please help!! It's driving me nuts. I've reinstalled the OS via the disc about 3 times so far, but haven't yet erased the drive (and am seriously considering doing so). I barely have any files on my HD because I run everything off of external drives (after losing a TON of stuff after my Mac crashed in the first 3 months of having it). I bought the computer in 2007 and was running Tiger. I passed on Leopard but gave in for Snow Leopard because I wanted an iPhone and iPad. When I installed SL, I had to reformat the HD and made it Journaled......it's been acting ******** ever since.

First you don't have a virus because none exist for OS X. So you can stop worrying about hat. If you recently got a warning about a Virus and accepted downloaded some software then you fell for a Trojan. Here is an article about that and how to rid yourself of it.
If you did not download anything like that then doing a Erase and Install would be the way to go. Here is a video that will show you exactly what to do.

Why does my Ipod keep freezing during Facetime

While using Facetime the screen freezes, its very annoying, any ideas why this can happen? We have tried turning off all the apps that we are no longer using and turning Ipod off regularly.
Any other ideas?

Not sure exactly what's going on here, but it might be worth taking a look at this Apple support document describing some of the ports that need to be opened on your router/modem in order for FaceTime to work properly.
Using FaceTime behind a firewall
There are plenty of other possible reasons you are running into issues, such as hardware or software issues on your iPod Touch device or perhaps with the other user's device on the other end.

Ipod keeps restartin in the middle of some apps

my ipod touch 16 gb 2nd gen keeps restarting on its own wen i use apps. i think its overheating but i dont know. i tried the ipod touch troubleshoot but that didnt work SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! i cant afford a new one

Hi Y'all...I found this post while searching for the same problem you're having, songs cutting off early. I called Apple Tech support and told the tech the problem and that I didn't think my IPOD classic was broken but asked him if there is a setting to adjust the play time. He told me that there is but the ipod has to be connected to Itunes. From there you highlight the song, in fact you can select all the songs on the ipod to do a global change. Next right-click (for you PC users) and select Get Info then Options. From there he said there is an option for Start Time/Stop Time. He said uncheck those boxes or you can set the time. I never want to set the song time, so I'm going to uncheck it. I'm at work now but when I get home I'll try it. I think it'll work.

Why does Safari keep (on my iPod) keep quitting in the middle of a session?

A lot of times when I'm on my iPod, on Safari, the session quits! Has this ever happened to any one else????

Have you tried a Reset... you will not lose any Data or Settings...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Also on the iPod, goto Settings > Safari > and Clear the History Cookies Cache.

My iPod keeps freezing and jumping to next songs.

Heres my dilema.
Whenever i play a song and after awhile the soing stops and goes to the next song and whenever I try to go back to it the iPod freezes.
Should I do the 24 hour battery drain or restore my iPod using the Updater. (have the newest version)
Can anybody help please?????

this is what happened to my ipod, it eventually stopped working altogether and im currently trying to find a way to resolve the problem. read my topic - 'out of warranty sad ipod- what can i do?;-(' is your ipod still in warranty, because if it does end up like mine apple will fix it for you. in the mean time try resetting it, then if this doesn't help then try restoring it- this will erase all your data on the ipod so back it up first. i hope this helps pranesh,

My iPhoto keeps freezing during import?

I just downloaded the new iPhoto from the app store, but it keeps freezing in the middle of importing

I just downloaded the new iPhoto from the app store, but it keeps freezing in the middle of importing
If rebuilding the iPhoto Library as suggested by LarryHN does not help in this case, try to import using Image Capture.
Maybe one of your photos or videos is unreadable and needs to be removed, before you can import to iPhoto.
With Image Capture you can import to a folder on your Desktop, inspect the photos, if they are readable, and then import them to iPhoto from this folder.

Why my ipod keep freezing

why my ipod keep freezing all the time

I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

IPOD freezes in the middle of podcasts

My Ipod freezes in the middle of playback of podcasts downloaded from Itunes; I have to re-set IPOD in order to continue use. Also happens with audio books. No problem, however, with playback of songs.

I think I have the same problem. It just.. freezes and you cant do anything with the song. You can change songs and sometimes it starts working again if you keep changing songs long enough but that just *****.
So yeah, I know what youre going through And Id appreciate some info about this as well. Its really starting to tick me off.
