My music screen has frozen and will not respond to my touch

my 32g iPod touch will not respond to my touch while i am in my music library.  i can navigate through my iPod and access my apps, calendar, etc., but as soon as i try to get into my music and browse through it, nothing.  it has done this before, but it usually "snaps out of it", and eventually begins to work properly.  i purchased this iPod brand new in march 2012, so in my opinion it should not be acting up.  anyone have any idea as to what is going on with it? 

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • My ipod screen is white, and will not respond to any actions

    My ipod touch screen is white, and will not respond to the home button or the sleep/wake button. The battery never drains all the way, and syncing on itunes doesn't help. I would prefer not to restore it, because i have a lot of information on it. PLEASE HELP!!

    The battery has to drain eventually. Be patient. Letting it drain and charging it back up after it goes black should fix this.

  • Imac 27" Intel Core 7 CPU. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware scan and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back

    Imac 27" Intel Core7  CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

    I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
    So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

  • HT1430 How can you reboot your Touch if the screen is frozen and will not allow you to use the "slide to power off"

    How can I reboot my Touch when the screen is frozen and I cannot use the "slide to power off" feature?

    Next 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - 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.

  • Phone has frozen and will not switch on

    Twitter was not working so I unistalled it from Iphone.  Reinstalled it but the phone then froze.  Turned phone off but now it will not switch back on and is frozen on the apple screen.  Help

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes less than 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.
    If this does not work you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you decide to Restore the Firmware, connect iPhone to computer with iTunes open, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, Restore the Firmware. Again usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • Ipod touch screen is frozen and will not shut down or re-set

    I loaded a new game and when I opened the game, my Ipod Touch froze as soon as the game started to boot. The touchscreen is unresponsive and the Ipod will not restart or re-set. It will not register when hooked to Itunes on my computer. Has anyone had this happen, and how can I get it to re-boot.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If still "on", let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try again.

  • While updating to 8.3 screen is frozen and will not work. How do I reboot?

    Started update to 8.3, verifying update appears and nothing works. The screen has been this way for over 12 hours. Can't even shut down. Is there a fix?

    You could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

  • Ipod screen is white and will not respond to buttons, nor will it reset. Help!

    Can someone please help me?  My ipod touch 4th Gen. just froze as I was trying to view information on a Free Music Ap.. Now the screen is white and the buttons do not work, nor will it let me reset it.  I connected it to my computer, hoping that Itunes or Apple would cause it to reset but it is still unreponsive.  I can't even force it to turn off.  Can someone please help?!  Thanks in advance!

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My screen seems to have frozen and does not respond when I touch. I tried to shut it off and when the red slider comes up, it does not let me slide it off.

    My ipad screen seems to have frozen. I tried to turn it off and the red slider does not respond when I slide it. What can I do?

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting. Let it do that and see if you're unfrozen.
