My iPod keeps on freezing, HELP!!!

everytime i plug my iPod into my iHome to charge it and listen to music it freezes up. i take it out and try to reset it, but it keeps on going back to the main menu and freezes. i left it alone for awhile but it makes this buzzing noise like it is still on. i keep trying to reset it but it makes this noise and the screen turns all black. it does not go to the black screen with the apple in the middle, or to the menu screen.
any help will be much appreciated. thank you!

My ipod keeps on freezing with every two songs.

my ipod keeps on freezing.i have read the other post but mine is different.recently every time i listen to my ipod it keeps on freezeing on the song list with every other song as in one song would work..the3n the next it would freeze and nothing can unfreeze the screen.i tried resetting the ipod and it happens again and again.does anyone know how i can fix my ipod so that i dont have to resent it everytime it freezes like every 5 mins?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

HT1351 my ipod keeps on freezing and now it wont turn back on even if i try charging it what do i do?

Hello I have a ipod nano 5th Gen and it keeps on freezing and powering off and I tried resetting it and charging it but it wont turn back on what do I do?

Hello firebird1986,
I would be concerned too if my iPod was unresponsive and powering off too. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

My ipod keeps self navigating.help!

if you can help me sort this out,i would really appreciate it.

Try the standard fizes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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 defaults/new iPod. If still have the problem then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My 2nd Generation iPod Touch keeps on freezing.

Okaay, so here's the problem.
My iPod keeps on freezing whenever I put it on 'hold'.
Like, if I'm done using the iPod, I'll press the 'hold' button like always... and then several minutes later, when I want to use it again my iPod wouldn't turn on.
And if I try to turn it on... I would have to press the button really hard and long ('cause I dropped it several times so the hold button is like... dented in).
And my iPod runs out of battery really quick even though I don't even use it anymore.
I don't know if it's because I only have like 0.29mb that's why it's causing these problems...
And I don't really want to restore my iPod because some of the stuff that's on there can't sync (like some voice clips)... but if restoring is the only way... then i guess i'll restore it.
I couldn't use some apps too.

You can't fill up any HD to the max and expect the Mac/Pc/iDevice to be working without any problems. That's why the OS needs a little free space to be able to perform certain tasks, and 0.29mb is certainly not enough space to make sure your ipod can function without problems.
The storage media in your Apple product, like all storage devices, uses some of its capacity for formatting, so actual capacity available for applications and files will be less. In addition, other factors, such as pre-installed systems or other software and media, will also use part of the available storage capacity.
copied from How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
Before you try to restore, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
Voice memos are part of the backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Apps also need some free space to be able to start or perform their tasks. So, to wrap it up, give your ipod more free space and it will be working again without causing problems.

Help!! My Ipod keeps freezing every 5-10 songs it plays

So my ipod keeps freezing every5-10 songs it plays. It tends to do this the most when it is on shuffle...Need help finding a soultion or the reason for this...is it the software or the Ipod itself...Thanks for your time

I think as your iPod is still under warranty you should get it serviced, or at least take it to an Apple store if one is nearby.

My Ipod keeps freezing! help please!

So I got my new iPod nano for Christmas and I loaded all the songs I wanted on it and everything went well with loading the songs on it and I started listening to it and the iPod will randomly freeze in the middle of a song and either stop in the play screen and stop playing the song, or it will just restart itself. I have tried the "5 R's" and that does'nt work, and i have completely reset the entire iPod as well, so what is wrong, and can anyone help?

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.

Frustrated! iPod keeps freezing when trying to update

My 40G iPod keeps freezing whenever I try to update it. I plug it into the computer, iTunes starts but then freezes after a song or two. Sometimes it crashes me whole machine. In any case, I can't add any music to my iPod, rendering it useless. I've seen s imilar posts but no solutions. I installed the latest iPod updater software and am using the latest version of iTunes. Funnily, this problem didn't start until I upgraded to the newest iTunes. Can anyone help? This is very very frustrating.

Me too .. very frustrating, spent the last 3 hrs looking for solutions.
Also noticed Apple has suspended downloads of itunes 6 for the time being ... wondering if its a related bug.

My iPod keeps on freezing, HELP!!!
