My ipod touch 3rd gen freezes when using the itunes app looking for podcasts

When looking at podcasts with my Ipod touch's itunes app, when i attempt to download podcasts from the nerdist podcast, the itunes app freezes and shuts me out for a minute or two. This only happens on some podcasts but not all.

Okay so, with some patience and some tinkering... It appears to be a problem with the most popular podcasts.  Maybe something to do with so many people downloading it at the same time?  Anyway, I've found you just have to wait it out.  Keep your itouch active and from going to sleep and eventually it will load the podcasts and you will be able to download them.  On average it takes me anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to get my most popular podcasts, I just keep it on the screen and keep it from going to sleep

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Freezes, is really slow.

    I just bought a new 32GB iPod touch 3rd gen yesterday, and it keeps freezing up. When it loads the "Slide to unlock" screen, the text doesn't "light up" and when I slide the slider over, it doesn't move. after about 20 seconds it then proceeds to the home screen and is frozed there for another 10 seconds. Then it responds normally and lets me use it temporarily. after X amount of time, (1 min - 5 mins) it freezes up when I try to enter text, and does not display the text i'm typing for about 20 -40 seconds and seems completely unresponsive. then after that 20-40 seconds it enters all the text that i typed, or if i pressed the home button during that time it will show the home screen. Any ideas on the problem? I plan on exchanging it today.
    I have tried hard resets and 2 factory restores on 2 separate machines with no difference in preformance

    Yes I have the exact same problem bought mine in December the 32GB version. I brought to a authorised repair centre but they could find nothing wrong with it. I am back to square one with a dud ipod - lots of reports on here of similiar problems...

  • Ipod touch 5 gen freezes when connected to car stereo

    I have a new ipod touch 5 gen that works perfectly until it is connected to my car stereo. Actually, it works fine for an hour or so, when suddenly the sound stops and the ipod screen is frozen blue screen or a blank screen with a glowing center. The connection is via cable from the radio to a 30 pin connector adapted to the lightning connector with apple's adaptor. Fortunately I've been able to restore after each instance, but the second time the screen was flickering and It took two restore sessions to get things stabilized. I don't want to fry this expensive toy, but I would like to use it for music in my car.

    Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
    And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • My Ipod touch (3rd. gen) is locked and the touch screen isnt working and it only turns on when charged! help!, My Ipod touch (3rd. gen) is locked and the touch screen isnt working and it only turns on when charged! help!

    My Ipod touch isnt working ... i think its locked but the touch screen now doesnt work? Help!

    Connect the iPod to your computer and charge it for at least an hour and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If it asks for an passcode and you do not know it place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the the passcode.  For recovery mode see:

  • IPod touch gets very hot when using the Internet/Video

    Hello. I have a question about my iPod touch (8 GB, 1.1.4, January Software Upgrade). When I go to Safari and browse the web, or when I'm watching a long video (YouTube and memory) the iPod gets really hot, particulary on the top, near the Sleep-Wake button. Is this normal or should I worry?

    Is it hot to the touch? or is it warm? My iPod only gets warm, but not hot, down near the home button after/during a sync or watching videos/searching the web.

  • My IPod Touch (3rd Gen) is stuck on the apple screen...Ive done a restored once and it didnt fix it, what do i do?

    Ok, so i know this is like other discussions but my Ipod Touch shows the Apple logo for 30 Secs, then it disappears and nothing shows, just a blank screen.  Ive done a couple restores and it comes up with the same results.
    Does anyone know how to permanently solve this problem.

    If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
    Regards.

  • When I save an image on my ipod touch 3rd gen then go to the photos, the library updates/rebuilds, then I cannot view the picture as it just comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG.  It never used to do this, how do I fix it?

    I go to save a picture (bu holding my finger down on the image, then pressing save image, when the option comes up), and then go to the photos to view the picture, its says updating library and takes about a minute to finish loading and rebuilding/updating the library.  After it has finished updating the library I cannot view the picture I saved because it comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG (I assume this is some sort of file, because if i save multiple pictures only one JPG, gery camera image shows up.) My ipod never used to do this.  Any idea on how to fix it?

    I've spent hours on this and it's driving me crazy. I've repeatedly tried going into recovery mode, DFU mode, and restoring (even using custom firmware) but it just won't work. Is there anything at all I can do to fix this?
