My ipod touch is frozen and my computer doesn't recognize it and the lock button is button making a force restart impossible

I need a way to fix this problem because I have not been able to use my ipod touch in a few months

Try what you can (no lock button) here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
When it say try recovery mode, use this program instead.

  • Hey my iPod is not showing up on iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize it. It runs out of battery very fast and only shows the 'Connect to iTunes" screen. What do I do?

  • My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.

    Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier.  I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French.  When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode.  I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case.  I'll post again if I experience more problems.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes on the computer?

  • My iPod touch is stuck at the apple logo, and my computer doesn't recognize it as a device, so I can not restore it.

    I went to turn on my iPod Touch 2rd or 3rd generation, and it remained at the apple logo, and when I went to restore it, my computer/iTunes does not recognize it as a device, and so I am unable to restore it. I believe it is on iOS 5.0.1, but I am not sure.
    Thank you!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • My screen is stuck on the calling part and no matter how many times i push the lock or home buttons nothing happens

    I was trying to call someone and than it would not let me hang up and now my phone is stuck on the calling app.. I can browse across the bottom so the screen is responsive.. The lock button and the center button are functioning because they will take pictures, but my phone won't turn off or even sync with my computer.

    Do a hard reset , by holding the home and lock button at the same time for 10 seconds, till you see the apple logo.

  • IPod touch screen frozen with computer cable and iTunes sign

    My iPod touch is frozen with a computer cable and iTunes disc sign on the screen. I have tried to restart it but it has not gone away. Any suggestions as to what it may be or how to fix it?

    Called Apple tech help - no freaking use!!! So I read a few posts and amongst others under help in itunes, I ran diagnostics and there was a link when the ipod was not recognized that discussed clearing temp files, etc. I did that, messed with MS Config to disable conflicting programs and some other stuff related to clearing temp files from installation of software. Eventually, I removed all apple software - itunes, helper, bonjour, mobile me etc and reloaded itunes. Did another reboot and this time it worked.
    Now, this is the second time I have updated software and each time it it really sucky. I thought Macs were supposed to be better than PC's (;-) well they sure are NOT. I can download and update anything else with no probs but an ipod.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like discusssed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Try to make a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as necessary.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my Zen Creative Vision:M (30 GB) anymore

    ? I still use XP and I have this mp3-player for a year now and it has been working fine until yesterday. I ripped Stefani's first album and tried to drag one of her songs on my mp3-player, but the player couldn't handle the file it seemed. So it fell out, on, out, on and I just unplugged it. Then I plugged it back in, but ever since my computer doesn't recognize it (in the media explorer it also says it's not plugged in). The videos in my library also seemed to be missing all of the sudden (only the maps remained).. and?I re-installed every programm, including windows media player, and the only outcome of it is that my computer now labels it as a MTP Media Player. So now it does connect, but i still can't transfer files or get into the player's system.
    It's strange, because many people have encountered this problem and the solutions seem to vary; one even solved it by simply re-installing WMP, which didn't work for me.
    Help would be awesome, guys!

    From the recovery screen do a Clean-up,reboot. If you have copies of all your music you may need to Format the player (do not choose reload firmware or anything like that)? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=

  • Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

    I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
    I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
    I had to do a system restore to get back the DVD drive.
    I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.
