My Ipod Touch is frozen on the apple screen

...and will not sync with my computer.  I have tried to restart in safe mode but it will not restart in safe mode.  Sometimes the apple logo gets bright but still will not sync or restart.  Is there any way to clear it and start over?  Prior to this incident I was watching a video, paused it while it was docked on my radio, and then it locked up.  I was looking to get a 64g but now not sure if it is worth it given this problem with my 32g.  Any thoughts?  Your help is greatly appreciated. 

Your "understanding?"  I have never heard of "safe mode."  Well, I'm going to ignore that reference and simply make my recommendations.
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."
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 is frozen on the apple screen how can I move past the screen

    My IPod Touch is frozen and I can't get passed the apple screen how do I unlock it

    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.  If that doesn't work, you'll need to connect the iPod to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below and restore it.

    The options are listed at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  The best option is the first (listed under "If you have previously synced with iTunes"): back it up and restore it on the last computer it was synced with after setting the passcode.

  • HT201412 My ipod touch is frozen on the apple logo and thinking circle at the same time. How do i fix it?

    Hey guys, i really need help. The other day, i was playing a game on my ipod touch and it froze up. So i turned it off and turned it back on, and it's frozen on the apple logo with a blurry thinking circle right under it. Pleas Help! Thanks!

    You do what the screen is telling you.  Connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.

  • My iPod Touch is frozen on the apple logo.

         I received my iPod Touch as a gift for valentines day over a year ago. Over 3 months ago, I tried to reset my iPod and as usual, the apple logo appeared, but this time it didn't go away.
         I went through the resetting process multiple times (holding the sleep and home button at the same time) but the screen would go black, then show the logo again. I let the battery run out and after I plugged it in to charge, the same thing happened. Basically, my iPod has been resetting itself for over 3 months. During this time, I did not have access to my computer. That was being restored. When I did get my PC back, i figured i could plug up my iPod and have it restored. BUT my comp didn't recognize my iPod as a device. I re-downloaded iTunes, plugged my iPod back up and iTunes didn't even recognize it.
         I'm also having a problem with iTunes itself. Most of my songs are missing. The names are visible, but once I try to play them, the dialogue box appears saying, "this song can not be played because the original file could not be found" and it show a exclamation point to the left of each missing song. I WOULD transfer the songs from my iPod to iTunes, but once again, my iPod is "broken". I have recently read different articles on the Apple website, but once i spotted my issue, it told me that it had to be sent in to be repaired. I also called AppleCare but i was put on hold for too long and I just gave up. I Googled my issue, and found that many other people also have this problem. Answers were posted, and I tried them all but to no avail.

  • IPod Touch is frozen on the apple logo.

    I have tried holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for 10 seconds. And everytime I turn it on, it comes to the apple logo and freezes there. I have put it in DFU mode (as another forum suggested) and then unplugging it and holding the buttons again, but that did nothing. Please help?

    I've been having the same problem, as have others. You will have to connect it to your computer and restore it. Here are two threads on the subject that should be helpful:

  • My iPod touch is stuck on the apple screen, and will not show on the computer.

    I went to pick it up and try to turn it on, and it wouldnt work.  I called and they told me to press power and home buttons and hold.  It worked, now it is stuck on the home screen.

    Is it stuck on the Home screen (Screen showing all your apps) or on the screen that shows an apple?

    Make sure your ipod is charged at least 10 min before you connect to the computer. Also make sure to have the latest version of iTunes (10.4)
    As you can see.. Stated above.. Quote "I have tried Recovery.. and it does not work.." Unquote
