My ipod touch keeps freezing and doesnt want to turn on anymore.

i have a 32gb 4th generation ipod touch, it stopped working properly like 2 weeks ago. It stopped functioning right when the home button didnt go as smooth. I had to press it really hard to go from one app to the home screen. if i pressed it twice to change music, it would turn negative color. i turned that off but the button kept acting the same. it is fustrating. ive tried turning it off then back on but it doesnt change and today while in an app it froze completely. i held the power and home button to reset it, although it was hard, it turned off. while trying to turn it back on, it froze on the black screen with the apple in the middle. is there anyway i can fix it or what can i do?
i need help its very fustrating and it keeps turning on and off by itself on the black screen with the apple for over 10 minutes.
ive only had it for 5 months. please help!

This also happened to me when I did the jailbreak and restored, he caught the apple in the middle of the screen and spent four monthswithout knowing what to do, I called support and found it was onlyTIGHTEN THE BUTTON UP, HOLD AND PRESS THE BUTTONAND HOME HOLD BOTH, then the image will appear to connectthe pc, when you will connect to iTunes and a message that youriPod disendo is in recovery mode, then just restore it and hope itreturns to normal. Hope this helps everyone.
Ps: I do not speak English and I'm translating this message forgoogle, so sorry for the mistakes grammarians.

Why does my iPod touch keep freezing when I attempt to turn off iCloud Keychain in the settings?

Everytime I try to turn off iCloud Keychain, my iPod's
Screen freezes and automatically turns iCloud Keychain back on. I really don't want ICloud Keychain and it has been a while since I tried to turn it off.

I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I want to update it

I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I want to update it because I can barely buy any apps but what will happen to all my music and media and info and accounts and progress?? I dot want all that deleted and it's not on my computer. I'm worried because I have so much progress and info and I don't want it all gone. What will it do?

I'm guessing you have Itunes on your computer, So when you go to plug your ipod touch in and itunes opens if it is syncing to your computer it will come up with "Syncing" and whatever the name of your ipod is. Click the (x) on the right hand side and it should stop the sync. After you have stopped the computer syncing you now have to click on the icon that has your ipod connected (so if it is called Ipodtouch click on that) then it should say in the info section IOs update or something like that and click on that. This will update your ipod touch to the latest IOs without syncing and/or deleting your apps. Once you have updated the IOs the apps will be synced with your computer automatically.
Hope this helped

Hey lattifahfromny,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may assist you:

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

If not successful, try the remainder of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod touch 2G freezing and restarting

Lately, as in the past few weeks or so, my ipod has been freezing and restarting at random intervals. Sometimes, it works for days, then acts up, and sometimes it only works for a few minutes. When it does this, the screen flashes and goes all sorts of different colors, then the ipod shuts off. Sometimes, it takes upwards of five minutes and trying different buttons to get it to come back on. I've already tried many resets and I've restored it twice, I am also using the latest software. I have NO idea what else to do.

Hi Damien,
please write about your experience there because I have a similar problem:
My ipod touch 2G 8GB freezes too after various periods of normal function. It is possible to get it working again by setting it back to factory defaults and then playing back the backup. The freezing occurs quite often.
The ipod was in the dealer´s repair shop twice (i suppos that is not an Apple repair shop). Both times they sent it back with de text "device tested, no mistake found, operating system installed as goodwill". I presume they just set it back to factory defaults which I can do myself but don´t want to do it every few minutes or hours.
How can I convince the repair shop that there is really a problem with the ipod?
Cheers
Peter

8GB ipod touch keeps freezing up and won't run apps correctly

I have an 8GB ipod touch that is almost a year old and it keeps freezing up. Some apps that use the motion side to side to move objects, doodlejump for example, won't work. I have reloaded apps and restored the ipod and it is still having a problem. What would be the issue and can it be fixed?

If the restore you did was from backup. restore to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup. If you then still have problems I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If they determine it is a hardware problem and it is within warranty they should give you a replacment iPod.

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

- Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
- Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.
- For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- For DFU mode

My ipod touch is disslabe and it wants me to connect to itunes. i connect to itunes but it says i have to accept the ivitation from myu ipod wich is locked so what do i do?

my iPod touch 5 is disyllable and it wants me to connect to iTunes. i connect to iTunes but it says i have to accept the invitation from my iPod witch is locked so what do i do?

Hello there Patss213,
If your iPod Touch is telling you to connect to iTunes and when you do, you are prompted to Trust the computer but are unable to due to the device being disabled, you will need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it with this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Keep in mind this will delete all information on the iPod, and you will need to restore it from a backup:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes 11 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My iPod Touch keeps freezing! WHY?!

I have the 8GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch with software version 4.2.1. It's about two years old and has recently begun to freeze (no colored pages, just frozen on whatever screen it was on when it froze). It happens when I am playing and exploring my music the most and has even done it for no reason. The only way to pass it is to do a force quit by holding down the power and home buttons.
I have been to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and he reset my iPod back to it's factory settings and I left with a blank iPod and the hope that the problem had been solved. Alas, it had not. I got home, synced it to my library and behold, here we are again.
I don't play games or use apps that (literally, the only app I have is Facebook). I have a huge iTunes library, but I haven't filled my iPod to the max, so there's lots of storage space. So it can't be an app or storage issue. I do have it connected to my personal home wireless internet, but that has never ever given me problems, so I don't think that's an issue either.
I have gone through my entire iTunes library and found no corrupt files and everything is up to date (both iTunes and iPod software). I have even re-downloaded iTunes. I understand that I now have an outdated iPod since the 5th Generation is out and because of that, 4.2.1 is as far as 4th Generation users will get. Apple has stopped releasing updates for the 4th Generation iPods, so updates will now bypass 4th Generation users. Fine. I've had version 4.2.1 for well over a month now and it only recently began freezing and giving me issues.
All I want to do is browse and listen to my music without it freezing as that is all I use my iPod for.
I plan on revisiting the Genius Bar for another appointment in the very near future.
I am willing to try anything (as long as it won't harm my iPod). I do however refuse to buy a replacement since the 5th Generation is out and 4th Generation updates have been abandoned. So if it comes down to buying another one, it's going to be the newest one.
Is there anything else I can do?
HELP!
-Brandon

Correction: I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch, not a 4th Gen. My mistake.
I have deleted a ton of stuff already. The only stuff left is music, that's pretty much it.
As far as restoring it goes, I have done that. The problem still seems to remain.
Any more ideas or suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.
Thanks
