My nano keeps freezing up when i use hold and the clickwheel won't respond?

it's showing up on itunes and i did the menu center button trick. i put my ipod on hold and shuffle during a parade and when i went to turn it off afterward, i took it off hold and the click wheel wasn't responsive, but music was still playing. so i tried the trick and it reset (or whatever it does to) it and got back to the main menu but my click wheel still isn't responsive. this isn't the first time that it has happened but then i did some stuff i don't even know and it worked but it completely wiped out my ipod's memory so i had to redo it, and i would really rather not again. it's a 4G 3rd Gen Nano if that helps, and itunes is recognizing it. how can i fix this, and is this a common problem?

I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430).

HT1677 What happens when you press "save" and the device won't save your settings?

Today, I upgraded my ipod touch 4 gen to IOS 6.
I just tried to save my settings under Safari, and I get an error message, "https://www.google.com Sorry, we failed to save your settings. Try again later."
I tried most of the evening, and still the same error message...
I've tried to "Google" the error message, there is NO match, lots of other stuff, but no match to my error message.
Topbarhive

Mor info on this issue, I can't disable the "Search History" (ie: check "Do not save searches") IF I try I get the error message...
I seem to be able to disable the rest of the stuff, without the Search History checked "do not save searches" and save without the error.
If I try to check only "do not save searches" it will give me the error.
There must be something in IOS6 that I checked in someother place on my device that is causing my issue.
BTW there is no option to "remove all website data" on my device, it just show a "grayed out" "0 bytes" beside the "term" Website Data.
Thanks for helping me.

my nokia 5800 keeps freezing/crashing when i try to view my pictures and videos? what do i do

Try clearing privacy data in browser to get a bit of ram back. if no good , do hard reset, you'll need to re-set up phone so back up first. Then type *#7370# and use passkey 12345 and phone will re-start and be like'out of the box' your memory card will not be affected.
Good Luck

My replacement 6th gen nano keeps freezing.

I know that these replacement nanos only get 90-days warranty,
I got mine in Februrary, so I know this warranty is over.
But my nano keeps freezing! Sometimes it turns off by itself whenI'm listening to music.
It's quite annoying. Is there anything that Apple can do for my replacement nano with expired warranty?
(I have never dropped it or hit it with something)

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
All the best

Hi Blane756,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps for a different issue, a gray screen at startup, that I think would still be worth trying for your freezing issues:

Cable boxes keep freezing up when surfing

Cable boxes keep freezing up when surfing, have to unplug to reset, delay in response to entries cause wrong entires i.e. enterin 212 but the two does not show so you press it again and again next thing you know you have 222212 instead of 212. COMCAST does not provide an email address for its customers to file complaints because they do not want to get them...Had to try multiple account names before I found one that was not taken...

If you look around the forum, you will find a email address to send to. Also on the forum, you can post your issue and someone from Comcast will followup, you can do a online chat if you don't want to call.
Pretty much if you email, they will just call you back anyway so they can confirm your identity, since it's easy to spoof someone's identify to get into your Comcast account and make changes. Identify theft runs rampant these days using email.
The Comcast team has been notified and will followup, expect a response here by tomorrow.

I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it

Hi Everyone
I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it
It's running a i7 2ghz with 8gb ram And OS X 10.8.4
I have had the Air around 11 months and the last week is the first time it has ever frozen , now it will do it after about 15 min use
It seems a little warmer than usual and it will freeze no matter what is running , or just idle .
And just to add , no google chrome installed

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

TS3899 I can no longer send photos in an email from my iphone 5. It uploads the photo to the "new message" page - and then it freezes. I can use safari and check my emails, and when the email part is frozen the rest of the phone works fine ! any advice?!

Hi, ireland a.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
iOS: Force an app to close
Once these steps are processed, attempt to send the photo again.

HELP!!! NANO KEEPS FREEZING

My Nano keeps freezing in the middle of songs. It will play for an hour or so and then freeze mid song for no reason. It doesn't respond to any buttons. After about an hour it will start playing again all by itself. I tried reseting and restoring it. So far nothing has fixed the problem. Any ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

If you have already restored, I would try placing the ipod into disk mode and restoring once more. A restore done in disk mode restores the firmware of the ipod as well, so it can resolve some issues that persist after a restore done previously.

Can someone tell me if this is a problem with Google or Mozilla? or both? or neither?

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
This link may help - http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/02/remove-google-redirect-virus.html

Keep freezing up when put to sleep, will not wake up. iMac G5, system 10.5.8, help

Keep freezing up when put to sleep, will not wake up. iMac G5, system 10.5.8, help. What version of Flash do I need?

Probably the intermittent problem that effects some users (including me at various times). It seems that Bluetooth fails to wake properly. The 'fix' that works for me is to go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

HT4623 my iPhone 5 keeps freezing every time i use the device. any suggestions ?

.

Delete background apps from memory and then Reset. Press the home button twice quickly, in the new row of icons at the bottom of the screen, touch and hold on an icon. When the Red Minus Signs appear, tap them all. When done Reset, hold both the home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
