My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. 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 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."

My Ipod touch has frozen while using an app.

My new Ipod touch has frozen while I was using an app. I can't even turn it off. It has pink and blus stripes on the screen. I don't want to lose all my stuff and haven't yet got a back up on the computer. What should I do?

Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch 4G frozen on restore

Hi folks
I have an iPod Touch 4G. It is a replacement as my old one failed to work anymore (freezing on restore and had pixel issues anyway).
My new one has the most up to date IOS 4.3.5. Today I added my apps back onto it with no issues. When I added my music, the iPod would come back with "No Content", after syncing. There was an error message that would come up in relation to syncing, upon physically connecting the iPod with iTunes open.
Once I resolved that (deleted old backups and manually had to copy some files to a directory), the music was coming up and syncing was no issue. When I played the music, it was jumping a few seconds into a song then going back to the start, skipping, making glitchy sounds. I removed all music and manually added it back. No joy. I removed the music, converted some to AAC and still no joy. Tried numerous fixes from forums etc, but music still doing same. I was reluctant to do a restore, but figured I had no choice.
So I do the restore. Upon restore it freezes. It says "Restoring iPod software" and gets about 1/8 of the way. Like my old one!!! I manually deleted the restore file, so iTunes would download and extract a new IOS. I started again, and still no joy. Freezes again 1/8 of the way. iTunes is up to date also. I am lost and dread going back to the Apple Store, as I will look like an idiot. No doubt they will connect it to a mac like last time and it will restore, and hopefully that will allow me to add music without issues. But that still leaves me with an issue on my laptop (Windows 7) and future dreaded updates.
Very frustrated and need help resolving it the restore issue on my PC.

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.

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.

Help, my ipod touch has frozen when downloading ios 5.1?

Can anybody help please? I was downloading the newest version onto my ipod touch and the ipod has frozen. I have tried turning off and resetting to factory settings but nothing works.

I went through two of the apple support webpages and the ipod is now connected, so the password was not the problem. I recently installed a new ActionTec modem and had to adjust a couple settings.
The topics I read were:
"iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" and
"iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points"

I thought these articles were well written, helpful, and were written from the perspective of customer usability (and better than what I typically find on other company websites).

Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

Plug it into iTunes, it will find an iPod Touch in recovery mode, it needs to finish restoring in iTunes.
