My iPod Touch is messed up!!! Something is REALLY wrong!

Last night, I had no problem at all, whatsoever. This morning, I was on the bus, and it was working fine, UNTIL I arrived at the school. It was slowing down and it froze!
That is not my problem. What I am going through is a huge predicament. It comes in various problems.
1) It starts with the Apple Logo Icon and stays like that forever. After literally twenty minutes, I hold the power and home buttons for a few seconds, then let go. SOMETIMES it brings me to the screen with the gray slider thingy. BUT it then freezes, and if I keep trying to unfreeze it too many times, it STAYS frozen until I reset my iPod. THEN IT ALL REPEATS AGAIN!!!
Also! If I leave the logo screen alone, a loading thing appears in the middle of the screen and after a few minutes, my iPod resets and it still repeats AGAIN!!!
2) ANY TIME I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON, MY iPOD FREEZES!!!
3) MY iPOD FREEZES WHEN I TRY TO PLAY MUSIC!!!
4) When my iPod is plugged-in to the computer, it DOES appear on iTunes. But when it resets itself after a period of time, it interrupts a syncing process...! AND MAKES THE COMPUTER ACT LIKE THE iPOD ISN'T PLUGGED-IN! Then, after a while, it reappears in iTunes and everything repeats again!!!!!
5) I restored my iPod, and it still happening!
6) Even after I updated my iPod, I am still having this problem!!
7) Whenever I manage to unlock my iPod, it automatically freezes!!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried everything!!!!!!!! I want my iPod Touch back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! I also have a small question... does the salt for melting snow and ice ruin electronic devices? I dropped my headphones in salt Saturday night, and on Sunday afternoon, I put my headphones back in.
Oh, and the headphones were cleaned after being dropped!

Since you've already done the "5 R's," your next option should be to visit your local Apple Store (should you have one) to have an expert check it out. If you're still under warranty, there shouldn't be a problem; if not, repairs might be your best option.
Apple's advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1394
Salt and electronics - not a good mix. If you cleaned your headphones, and thoroughly, you've minimized any chance of potential damage.

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
Thanks in advance for your help!

With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

I just purchased an iPod Touch for my brother for Xmas. Can I transfer music from my computer to the iPod Touch without messing it up for him when he plugs it into his computer for the 1st time? Dave

No since you can only sync with one computer.

My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow and when ever I get on a app it will shut it down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do

My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

- Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Next, reset the iPod
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
Then you can try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

My ipod touch is now disabled after entering the wrong passcode too many times. How do I enable it again - it says "connect to itunes" but itunes will not recognize the ipod because it is disabled.

iOS: Unable to update or restore

Should I buy the new iPod touch? My concern when buying really only Siri. The only drawback is the high price. What would you do?

It is really up to you. Since y say yo have iOS 6 yo must have a 4G iPod which is not bad.

I downloaded the ios5 and during the installation something went really wrong and now I can't open it, restore it or reset it by hand. Any ideas?

Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
Other infomation that may assist in answers:
-The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
-All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
-There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
-The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
-My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
Thank you if you answered responsibily, and if you responded like a tool then I dislike you.

I need help!!! My iPod touch is messed up I charge it but then when I go to turn it on it shows the apple then a loading circle then the screen turns white and says it isn't charged is there anyway I myself could fix it?

Plz help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- 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 is messed up, please help!

I had to restore my ipod touch about 5 times now, because it went into recovory mode, and the screen didnt turn on one time, with a fully charged battery. I am not impressed with the softare for my ipod touch, when i updated it, itunes did not recognize my ipod, but my XP pro did. so i unloaded my ipod software to the 1.1.2 vesion and it worked fine. My new problem is that my ipod will be running for a day on a full battery, but then the next day, it says the battery needs to be charged. This happend twice. i think for $300 dollars, this thing should be better, way better. not impressed, mabye the last time i will buy an apple product. Anyone with the same problems or and answer?

Next try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

My 3rd gen. 32gb iPod touch was messed up by an iPad2!?!

My iPod touch 3rd generation 32gb was sitting next to my bed. My mom set her iPad2, which is synced to her iTunes, started glowing and so did my iPod. Then when I was trying to update my dictionary app., it said that my mom was logged in and needed her password. I logged in, logged out, restarted the thing, then when all failed restored it. I used the iCloud back up thing, which did not help, o I restored it as a new device, now I have apps that I delted a year ago and no music, I had 12.3gb of music, I NEED IT =_(! HELP APPLE PEOPLE, or somebody... Buy the way I did think to do both WiFi and USB sync, both failed.. =/ help me please, I don't like being mad at Apple Products.

I woke up this morning and did what you said...It WORKED! I rebooted the thing and then plugged the USB into iTunes and dragged the music, then it just started loading it all back on. You're a life saver!
