My iPod Touch 4g keeps rebooting. ( sometimes it freezes on the white screen; sometimes on the Apple symbol) What should I do to make it stop? My iPod's warranty has expired. It happens every 10-15 minutes. Help!

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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My ipod touch 3g keeps asking to connect to itunes and i no longer have the computer

    help me please

    Connect the iPod to another computer that has iTunes installed and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you do not know it or it will not accept the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    You will lose everything on the iPod, but that is the way it is.

  • Why would my ipod touch 4th generation be stuck on a blue and white screen

    i need help finding out why my ipod touch has a white screen with a blue line on it. I was reading then it started changing different colors now its stck on a white and blue screen

    Things like that sometimes just happen. To try to resolve try:
    - A 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.
    - Connect to computer and restore via iTunes.
    - If screen stil shows that, and yu could not restore, let the batttery full drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • I just got a Ipod Touch 5G but it won't sync with Itunes because it is not newest one. What should I do?

    Well you see, I just got this new Ipod 5G that I really wanted but something went wrong when I tried to sync it with Itunes. It said that the ipod needed 10.7 Itunes but clearly I had not so late version 10.6.3. And I can't update my itunes because it is at the point where it can not update for now so I don't know when it will ever update to 10.7 but right now I am stuck on 10.6.3. And if I can't get it to update how will I be able to sync my music into this new ipod, what should I do?

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or use a combination of these instructions and iTunes Match to put content onto the iPod touch.

  • I'd like to connect my ipod touch (3rd generation) to my ipad2, but I don't see each other through bluetooth. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
    I appreciate any input.

    iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
    iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth.
    On the iPad running Keynote, open your Keynote presentation.
    Tap the Tools icon in the toolbar.
    In the Tools menu, tap Settings.
    In the Settings menu, tap Remote.
    In the Remote Settings menu, turn on Enable Remotes.
    On the iPhone, open the Keynote Remote app.
    In the iPhone Settings window, tap New Keynote Link.
    On the iPad, the name of the iPhone appears in the Remote Settings window; tap Link.
    On the iPad, enter the four digit number that is displayed on the iPhone, and then tap Done.
    iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. You can begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow.

    I'm a little unclear regarding what you've already done so I'll start from the beginning.

    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.

    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.
    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.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation crashed twice when I was playing music and trying edit a photo. What should I do if it happens again?

    I was listening to music and I wet in to edit a couple of photos, then as I started, my iPod went black and the loading apple came up. After I got in, I tried the same thing and it crashed a second time. I decided to leave it alone for now, but what should I do if my iPod crashes again? Thanks!
