My music on my iPod 5 keeps freezing.

Sometimes, it will lag and then go back to normal. And sometimes, it will just freeze and completely shut down. I've tried restarting my ipod and restoring it from a backup but it still does that. Any solutions?

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?

    My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

  • 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.

  • HELP - Ipod 30gb keeps freezing

    okay, i've reset the darn thing about a million times. all updates have been installed. yet, my ipod keeps freezing. if i am lucky, i get one or two songs to complete before it freezes. i've got about 20gb of music on it now, which i'm guessing is too much of a stress for the little fellow.
    this morning i restored the ipod, hoping that this would solve the problem. while i wasn't happy about having to load a library of music back on to the ipod, i felt as if i had no choice. now, however, it still freezes up on me. HELP!

    Take it to Apple service centre & tell them your problem & all the things that you have tried to make it work. If your ipod is under warranty they will sort out your problem either by rectifying it or by replacing your ipod.

  • 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 7th generation 160 g iPod classic keeps freezing, I've only had it for 3 months?

    This iPod was ordered brand new 3 months ago, however it keeps freezing and locking up when I try to scroll through menus or switch songs. I would really like this problem to be fixed. How do I go about this?

    Try the Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    Do  the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted by tt2,

    If you have high numbers on the first 5 items, better bring back to Apple Store for a replacement.

  • Ipod video keeps freezing

    ok so I just got my ipod few days ago brand new, had no problems with it. Today when I tried to charge it from my laptop this message comes up from itunes saying a new version (7)is available. So i download it and then it says a new ipod version is available 1.2. and i start downloadding that. so as its updating all the files in the ipod and its almost done, my ipod freezes and itunes says ipod is done updating you can now disconnect. so i disconnect the ipod but its still frozen, so i do a reset and it works fine for maybe a minute and all my files are there and it plays fine but then it freezes again. so i reset again and it freezes in a much shorter time... then i try to restore it from itunes to its factory settings and with much difficulty of it keep freezing i finally get to do it and even put my songs back on there. but then after maybe more than a minute it freezes again. i even ran the diagnostic and it showed everything was fine... any ideas what could be wrong, i tried resseting abuncha times and it freezes everytime, sometimes instantly. it seems like something is spinning in it and then it suddenly stops and crashes. this thing is literally two days old...
    ANY help would be much appreciated.

    Update your ipod and make sure it is up to 1.2.1
    If it is up to date, restore your ipod.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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
