My new iPod has frozen!!!

I was happily listening to my music on my ipod and then it just stopped. I cant do anything with it. I cant switch it on, on, change music or anything.
Has anyone else had this problem!?
I am very annoyed with apple.
thanks in anticipation

Yes, I had the very same problem within the first hour of buying the it, I was very ****** off indeed. try this:
flick the hold button to and from hold twice
Then quickly hold the middle select button AND the menu button at the same time for about 8-10 seconds.
give it a try and let me know how it goes.

My ipod has frozen and the wheel will not spin

my ipod has frozen and i cannot get the wheel to spin

Perhaps it would be a good idea to try a hard reset of the device. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If the issue still persists, you'll want to connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings allowing it to receive a fresh new copy of its software and rebuild all of its essential databases that could have become corrupt. This will help rule out a software issue.

My new iPod has now crashed and is unusable after updating it. Don't update. I just lost the only good thing I have because of them pushing me into it.

My new iPod has been updated. I was pushed into it. So then I thought "it could use one it could improve it". I read as much as the terms and conditions as I could read that was understandable. And now it's been less then two days and my iPod is now practically useless. Don't update your iPod. It was the only good thing I had. I pleded and pleded to my parents for weeks and save up for weeks to get one. And now it's not even a year old and I've lost it. I can't afford to get a new one. And I can't afford to loose this one. i worked hard every day all day For months to be able to even get a quarter of what i needed. And my parents agreed to pay for the rest and it was my Christmas present. i was extremely happy. It's the best thing that I have and I've lost it because of an update Apple pushed me into. Now they won't help me.
my iPod is freezing every 5-10 minutes for long periods of time. It is:
freezing
the keyboard board is lacking severely
lags through out ipod
i cannot play games as it lags then freezes.
my screen is pressing where I don't press it.
it becomes very excruciatingly slow
I Cannot write to fast or it freezes and i have to re start
Im not getting told when I have notifications (such as emails)
i cannot use facebook, games, Safari. Email, messenger and a few others with out my iPod crashing.
i Cannot use the iPod properly at all.
it can take up to 10 minutes for my camera to work. It usually takes 1 minute or more.
the camera freezes or wont take a photo when I press
it freezes on panorama or worn take panoramas.
it has trouble even trying to get the lock screen up.
and best of all of it. I can never tell when I'm going to be screwed by Apple.

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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified. [drivers?]

Yes -that again- the reason I'm making a new post is that this is the second time an ipod hasn't worked with me, I would like to know if there's something I can do to my system or whatever to repair it. Here's the situation.
- Just so ya know, I use Vista on a laptop [unfortunatley]
- Previously [as in yesterday] I had an ipod touch, it was stuck in recovery mode and nothing [and I mean nothing] worked to recover it, it wasn't being recognized at all. This problem occured when I installed Itunes 9.
- Today I bought myself a brand new iPod Nano (5th Gen) for several reasons [not just to do with the itouch breaking, I was sick to death of the thing in general], took it home and connected it. 'A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified' yadda yadda.
- I tried everything, I have also downgraded my itunes back to 8, still the same message!! Argh! Here's the thing (that I think might be causing the problem) when I open Device Manager and go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, there is no apple/ipod recognized. There is a 'USB Mass Storage Device' whch has an error symbol next to it, I've tired updating/reinstalling it etc and it doesn't work ):
- Is there anything anyone can do? I'm so sick of ipods breaking on me. Just so you guys know, I'm not completley computer savvy so i'll need precise instructions, thanks so much to anyone who can help me.

This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)
I use a Toshiba Satelite L350-170, my Vista is a 32-bit Thankyou!

My ipod has frozen tried to reset but no luck please help??

Ipod has frozen I have tried to reset it but no luck, please help?

Let's ensure you are doing the reset process correctly.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

My ipod has frozen and isn't being recognised by itunes

Recently, my iPod has been having troubles. It's been freezing in the middle of songs and when I try to change track, and, up till today, it's recovered. It's now been frozen for three hours. I restored the factory settings a couple of days ago, and it workeds, but only for a few hours.
This morning, it froze in the middle of the song, and it's now not being recognised by iTunes. I've tried to do a hard reset, but it's not responding at all.
It's an iPod Classic 30GB, and I think it's a 5th Generation. I got it second hand, and so I don't think I can take it and get it fixed and whatnot without paying money. Is it worth getting a new iPod? There is an Apple store near me, so I can take it in and see what they say, but as I said, it's second hand and it's past the warrenty.

Charge the iPod for at least 2 hours
Do the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center Button simultaneously for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons
Refer to this Apple Support article on the 5Rs.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If you plan to get a new iPod, get the iPod Touch and avoid at all cost the iPod Classic, the new generation of HD in the iPod Classic appear to be not very sturdy and reliable, in my Opinion, yours is still more sturdy, (6 years old), but the battery and hardisk would be in the last lap. The full charge battery should last at least 20 hours of continuos music.
You can do the iPod Disk diagnostic to see the HD health, as posted by tt2.

Don't worry about the Mac user, the DD process refer only to iPod Classic.
Have a nice day!

New Ipod nano FROZEN!

Okay, I've done everything that the support section has said to do. My ipod nano 3rd generation has not responded to anything I've done. The hold slid thing is off, and my nano is even connected to the computer, and my computer isn't reading it.
I even reboot my system to make sure it's running fine, and I also know that I've got the updated itunes.
What's next? Do I go back to best buy to see what they can do for me? Or did I waste $200.00 on the nano?
There is a full charge, and the screen is on. It will not reset at all. It's frozen to where it is not responding to anything that I do.
HELP! I don't think I can live without it... LOL

I have just been given a new ipod nano for my birthday. I cannot for the life of me get it to sync. I have songs in my itunes libary which have been taken from my previous libary of music on my PC (Windows Media??). The ipod will start to sync and says '1 out of 898' or something at the top. It syncs 7 tracks then freezes EVERY SINGLE TIME! I have never been so frustrated with something, as it appears to sync but then freezes- I don't have limewire or anything so why does this happen!?! Please help me out as I'm beginning to feel your products are poor. All I want to do is put my music on my ipod. My brother told me that ipods do not hold tracks that are non-compatible (MP3 for example) but I got an ipod as I was told the opposite.
Get back to me, Sarah, 17

My Ipod has frozen

It's just frozen, tried turning it on and off, it's fully charged but nothing nada - can anyone help

When an iPod is frozen, the first thing to do is to Force Quit an application.
From the iPod Touch User Guide:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red >slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the application quits.
You can also try to reset the iPod Touch.
From the iPod Touch User Guide:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten >seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If worse comes to worst, you can always restore your iPod Touch
From the iPod Touch User Guide:
Connect iPod touch to your computer. Select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar and click the >Summary tab.
Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPod touch software >available.
Click Restore. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process. When restoring, >it is recommended that you back up iPod touch when prompted.
When the iPod touch software has been restored, you can either set it up as a new iPod touch, or >restore your music, videos, application data, and other content from a backup.
After restoring from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible through the iPod touch user >interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPod touch. For information about erasing all content and >settings, see “Resetting iPod touch” on page 143.

My Ipod has Frozen twice now

Half way through a song it has frozen on me and I've had to wait till the battery died once and the next time I took it apart and unplugged the battery. I also tried many times to plug it into my computer and reseting it many time with no change to the unit. Is there a reason for this to be happening? Ive only had it for 5 months. Is there a way I can get it to stop freezing or a better way then waiting for the battery to die?
Froger

Hey froger,
I have a couple of options here. None of these are guaranteed to work, but you've got nothing to lose by trying them.
First things first!
When the iPod decides to freeze, I want you to try the 5 R's. The instructions on how to do this can be found by clicking here : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/five_rs/
The other thing I could reccommend is that you dont have too many videos and photos, and you dont have over what your iPod can hold in terms of songs.
If none of these help, I suggest you call your nearest Apple store and tell them the situation. As it is within its warranty (you've only had it 5 months), they will try and fix it free of charge, and if they cant fix it, you have the right to ask for a brand new one, again, free of charge.
I hope this helps,
Ryan

New ipod has space taken up...

hello, i am new to this discussion site. i have an immediate question that i hope someone knows the answer to.
i have an ipod that is not new but i bought it as a demo from an apple store about two weeks ago. it is an ipod 60 GB. i don't know what generation it is, but it is not the one that plays videos. it has color and can show photos plus it is thicker than a typical 20 GB. 2005 is labeled on the back of it.
my question is why is that my new ipod that i bought two weeks ago, has 53.56 GB that are available? what happened to the other something 4.25 that were not accounted for? let my tell you all that i have only 2.19 GB used up. i have no photos on it. nothing but music on it. what heck happened to the rest of the 4.25 GB's? somebody please help me out!

It's not only Apple, any computer disk maker is going
to calculate disk space the same way, there will
always be about a 10% discrepancy between quoted disk
size & usable disk size. Another example: a 20GB
ipod has approximately 18.6GB usable space. I have
160GB LaCie external HD, the usable space was
something like 149GB, if I remember correctly.
so, that 60 GB's that are labled on the boxes of the ipods are just a scheme that the manufactures claim and end up getting away with? i am cheated out by the manufactures. i pay for the 60 but only get 53.7...

Try force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

Hello Norm,
Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear again. Keep in mind, this troubleshooting procedure may take a few attempts.

Brand new IPod Touch frozen

My son's brand new ipod touch went to a blank screen and now won't do anything. Even when we hold the sleep button for more than ten seconds nothing happens. Should we return it to the store? He just got it last night.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
If that doesn't help, take it back. If it fixes the problem, read this (especially chapter 2) before you do anything else.

My new Ipod has no volume

Make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the headphones jack. You will feel a definite "click" when fully seated. You may need to press harder than expected.
