My U2 iPod froze while i was listening to it?

I was riding my bike home listening to my 20G U2 verison ipod, the hold button was on. All of a sudden its just stops playing and freezes, the screen that shows the songs is still showing the time and name of song except it had just stopped. i got this ipod in july of 2005 and its been about 5 months now. now the hold button says its constantly on when its actually not and im in the main menu again. i cant move the cursor and its gone useless. i tried plugging it into a power source but it didnt help. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP FIGURE OUT *** HAPPENED BEFORE I TAKE THIS THING AND SHOVE IT UP APPLE'S ***!

it's probably a defect. warranty should cover it, just call 1-800-goapple and complain. i'm sure they'll fix it for you... maybe they'll replace it too with a new 30gb ipod with video.

Make sure you are resetting the iPod correctly.

It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

TS4006 my daughters lost her ipod somewhere while she was out, is there any way we can locate it?

my daughters lost her ipod somewhere while she was out, can it be located?

"find my iPhone" option must be activated on the iPod before loosing it. If you haven't you are out of luck. If you had, then either go to http://www.icloud.com or use the "Find my iPhone" apps from any other iOS device.
The iPod will need to be connected to a wifi network in order to be located.

My Iphone froze while I was updating my OS

Hello,
My Iphone 3G froze while is was upgrading the OS installed on it. Even when i restart my phone the "Connected to Itunes" logo appears. I have even tried to hold home and sleep button for 10 seconds with no results.
I've also tried reinstalling Itunes, but the Iphone doesn't appear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 2g, and 3GS have crashed every time on updates on XP, vista, and win7. The restore usually doesn't work the first time or 2 until you've rebooted the computer once or twice. I even had to create a second user on the computer, load a separate itunes on it to get it to restore(with apple guy walking me through it) then switching to my normal user and backing up to the phone. Really wastes a ton of time.

Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

My ipod froze while reseting what can i do ?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

If Resetting the iPod isn't much help, try connecting to computer and restore the iPod.
Connect iPod to computer or Mac
Open iTunes and let it synchronize.
Press the Restore button. (Note: Make sure you backed up all your data before clicking "Restore". Any unsaved data will be lost forever.)
Your iPod should be running as good as new after the restore.

IPod froze, then it was BLANK(all songs gone!). What happened?

First my iPod(2nd generation iPod nano) froze. This has happened 2 or 3 times before, and when it does, I've had to let the power run out, then turn it on. When I've done this before, it's always been fine: no longer frozen, all songs present, etc. This time, however, I let the battery run down, turned it on, and while it was no longer frozen, it was completely empty! All the songs were gone, and even my preferences had been reset.
I plugged it into my computer, and it said the iPod was "corrupted." I "Restored" it to its factory settings, and I have now sync'd it, so hopefully now it will work. I also downloaded yet another new version of iTunes, so if that was the problem, maybe now I'll be fine.
Still, I'd like to know just what caused this so I can prevent it from happening again. Anyone know?

I plugged it into my computer, and it said the iPod was "corrupted."
There's your answer. Occasionally it would appear that the iPod software becomes corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod may report used space and iTunes may show them. I've seen this problem many times here on the forums.
I can't answer your question as to why because I've never seen a plausible explanation.

My MacBook pro completely froze while I was using safari and after a force shutdown now on startup reaches apple logo screen but goes no further. What could cause this?

While browsing on safari earlier today I had about 10 tabs open some with YouTube.
I was on a flash website browsing and the system froze and the spinning wheel came Up on the mouse.
I tried to move the mouse to get to the force quit in safari but then the mouse froze too, after a minute I held down the power button and turned off the laptop.
Now I tried to turn it back on, it turns on and loads up as far as the white screen with the grey apple logo and goes no further?
What does this mean, how can I solve it? I'm in panic as all of my school notes are on it, any help or advice would be muh appreciated!

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

HELP ! Ipod froze while syncing so I unplugged. Now not showing any music on Ipod or in Itunes but will show the songs in my ipod control

So basicly I was trying to figure out on how to get all my album art back on my 160gb Ipod Classic. It showed in itunes but not on my ipod. My cover flow was full of Question marks. Having 140gb of music ir was fustrating manually putting it back on to each album. This happened a few months ago. So the 5 or 6gb of new music i put on since this happened is on my Ipod and show in my coverflow on my Ipod.
It came to a point where i had to leave my computer and noticed that my ipod was still in a synchnnizing stage and seemed like it was frozen. Having to leave the computer I had to unplug the ipod. By doing so, when i turned it on it said that i had no songs on my Ipod. When plugged into my itunes it also says no songs but at the bottom of the itunes screen it shows there is 140gb of "other Information" with 1.5 gb remaining but not music. I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder. I have had a few different computers since this new ipod has music from ages ago from an old 30gb classic and have transfered over the years on multiple computers (so restoring or syncing to this computer is out of the question). Thus all the ratings and playlist are very dear to me. Hundreds of hours invested in this ipod OVER 6 Years. It seems like there is some file missing or needed to link everything together.
I have spent endless hours trying many diffferent aproches. Like one forum said go into AL'S IPOD>IPOD CONTROL>ITUNES.. when in there they said to look for a file called ITunesDB and another called ITunesD8.old and switch them and rename ITunesD8.old_mlpmp but i only have the ituned DB not the ItunesDB.old
I also tried
Also when i plug in my ipod a notice in windows says "DO YOU WANT TO SCAN AND FIX E>AL'S IPOD
                                                                                      There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you
                                                                                       remove the device or disc before all files have been writen to it
                                                                                      SCAN AND FIX (RECOMMENDED)
                                                                        this will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc
                                                                                                           OR
                                                                                            CONTINUE WITHOUT SCANNING
So i figure the problem started when i went into my control panel and chose show all hidden files so i can look at my files in the Ipod_control and was fooling around with the preference area by selecting the read only icon and disabling the hidden icon. I tried reversing this before ejecting my ipod but it was stuck in the Synchronizing do not disconnect mode and would not eject. Everytime i did try to eject it said in itunes with a yellow triangle saying " files or folders are in use in another area and cannot eject" even tho everyting has been closed......
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX??????? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.
