My ipod mini locks up ALL THE TIME

I think I may have gotten a lemon. My ipod mini just stops playing and none of the buttons work until I reset it. This happens at least once every time I use it sometimes two or three times. Really annoying. My boyfriend has an ipod mini and uses it at least 7 hours a day. His has only needed to be reset once ever.

Very possibly your iPod is faulty. Is it new, or has it ever worked correctly?
Before you think about sending it off for service, have you tried restoring it?

  • My yahoo email locks up all the time now.

    My yahoo email locks up all the time now.  I have to force reload every time. I receive and send emails OK.  I have the same problems on another Mac with older OS and still same problem.  I recently upgraded it to Lion and the problem still exists.  It started 4-6 weeks ago and has progressivley gotten worse.  I've had yahoo email for years now but am considering dropping this email account if it's not soon fixed.  Thanks for any input...

  • HOW DO I KEEP MY VOLUME BUTTON FROM LOCKING UP ALL THE TIME?

    HOW DO I KEEP MY VOLUME BUTTON FROM LOCKING UP ALL THE TIME? I UNDID IT ONCE BEFORE BUT CAN'T KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING.

    You don't tell us what year model MBP you have. Also, there is no such thing as iOS 10.9.5, but there is Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. In addition to that, tell what you mean exactly by "... locking up all the time..." and What you Did exactly when you "... undid it once before..."

  • IPod touch applications crash all the time

    I've been really happy with my iPod touch, but recently it has started crashing all the time - generally speaking, an app will run for about 30secs - 1 min before crashing, though this is more like 5-10secs if I'm also playing music. The app crashes and back we go to the home screen, though music will carry on playing seamlessly. It seems to affect all applications (there is nothing on my iPod that doesn't crash regularly now), so I suspect an OS bug rather than individual apps being at fault.
    I still have 2Gb free space but I wonder whether it's possible the device is running out of memory and just crashing the app as a result?
    I have the official 2.1 release installed, no jailbreaking or anything.

    Hi,
    First thing to do is try reset, restore etc. See here [5R's Trouble Shoot|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch>.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Mac Mini Fan on all the time almost...

    I'm noticing that my Mini fan is on almost all the time now, not when the computer is at rest, but pretty much when I do any copying of files or run multiple programs. Could that be a sign of something wrong? Maybe I have bad RAM. Gets pretty loud...

    Standard reasons for a loud fan in your situation would be:
    1) Mini sitting on or near other heat producing equipment;
    2) Mini not getting free access to room temperature air;
    3) Mini's vents clogged by dust or animal hair -- gentle vacuuming can help here. I don't recommend compressed "air".
    It's hard to see how "bad RAM" would figure into this problem.
    Keep in mind that the Mini's fan is always running when the computer is on; but normally it spins slowly enough that you don't hear it.

  • Ipod mini scrolls trough all the songs in the playlist!!!

    My ipod mini was working fine until now. When i play one song, it plays for less then 1 second and goes to the next song in the playlist, and then it does the same for the next... so i basically only get to hear less than 1 second of every song! I've tried reseting it a few times, but that doesn't seem to do anything..... if anyone knowa what to do, please help!!! thank you, Morgan

    I was thinking,my computer crashed, so i had to put the songs from my ipod mini onto my computer using the tips from the dicusion "my computer crashed!!!" so i was wondering if this would effect the odd patern of my songs.????

  • Help! My IPod Mini keeps losing all the songs I put on it!

    A while ago I noticed that the battery life of my IPod mini(original) was getting shorter, however didnt really mind because I didnt use it that often. However I updated it with the new ipod software that my itunes suggested when I plugged it in to my computer. However since then its been going crazy. It wont play anything and just switches back to the apple sign. So I restored it using the ipod updater but it still has the same problem. Ill leave it to update, then it will list everything on it, but once I select something to play it turns it self off. Then once I manage to turn it back on again all the titles are gone. Have tried all the steps on the support page, really dont know what to do with it now!

    "Have tried all the steps on the support page, really dont know what to do with it now!"
    Have you considered that it may need battery replacement, especially since you said battery life was getting noticeably shorter? Is it still under warranty?
    If not, Google "ipod batteries" for alternatives to Apple.
    If you want to use Apple, they do an out of warranty battery replacement programme.

  • HT2481 iPhoto locks up all the time

    I have a lot of photos in iPhoto that I want to delete but every time I try to empty my iPhoto trash, the program locks up and I get a "Not Responding" indicator in the Force Quit list.  What do I do?  I've tried this several times always with the same result.  I've tried to go on Time Machine to before the time of the vapor lock but that does not work either.

    I tried that but I cannot get them out of the trash.  I click on trash and I see a lot of rectangles of dotted lines and I can't get them back out of the trash.

  • Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

    Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
    I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
    But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
    I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

    I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

    I have an iPhone 4 with all the software updates. I have set some reminders and when I get reminded I go in to check them off and it will not let me.

  • My iPod 160GB classic is locking up all the time

    I do a hard restart, as described by Apple support, and it comes back. Then a couple of days later I will be listening through the USB connection in my car and it will lock up again. So i was advised to attached my iPod to my MAC and restored it to factory settings. Still happens. I had a great deal of music on my iPod so i deleted about 15% still doesn't help. Is this looking like a hard drive issue?
