Non responsive/entirely frozen iPod.

[Its one of second generation nanos]
So, I was playing music on my new iHome. I paused it so I could change the song, when it became totally non responsive.
I put in its USB cable, and iTunes didn't even register that it was plugged in. I tried the 5 Rs, and it didnt do anything.
The hold wont work, it wont restart, it's completely frozen.
I really don't want to go down to the Apple store... Can anyone help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try resetting your iPod using the steps listed here...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
It may take several attempts. That article also has tips if your iPod won't reset.
If you can't get it to reset after several attempts, then you may need to just disconnect the iPod and wait for the battery to drain.

HT201406 i have a frozen ipod touch the screen has multicolored vertical lines and is non responsive any ideas?

i have an i pod touch which appears to be frozen it has multicoloured vertical lines on the screen and is non responsive has anyone had the same probs

If that does not work:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When playing games on my iPod touch. Some are stutters and non responsive

Trying to play games on my iPod touch and they are slow, stuttery and non responsive. iPod software is up to date

Do the games require an internet connection? If so then maybe slow connection.
otherwise:
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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Ipod touch 4th display problem - Non-responsive

Good afternoon.
iPod touch 4th Gen is non-responsive to the screen. Will display "slide to unlock" but is unresponsive to touch. Screen also has vertical and horizontal lines which appear all the way across the screen. Interestingly the siri will come on if you push the button. In other words siri works, the display shows full charge and directional arrow. It would appear that the screen is non-responsive and displaying these lines but the underlying operations are fine. Siri will answer a question. Of course I've reset and also restored everything to factory settings and latest software updates. I don't have any software on the iPod that wasn't from the iTunes store. BTW, there's been no trauma to the screen or case. I'm beyond 90 days from purchase, but under one year of ownership.
Any ideas? Thank you.

If you restored as new and the problem persists then you have a hardware problem. If you have had it for less than a year it is in warranty so take it to an Apple Store and have the iPod replaced.

My ipod touch is locked up and non-responsive

I have tried to reset by holding lock and power buttons at the same time with no success. I have a white screen and the ipod is non-responsive to anything.

- If you can turn it off try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes.
- Otherwise let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try a reset (both buttons) and a restore.
- If screen is still white then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stoe.

IPod Nano is Non-responsive

I have had my iPod nano for a few weeks. A coule of days ago, it was playing a song then it started to get funny. The song slowed down and then froze. The controls became non-responsive but the screen stayed on and lit. I connected it to my computer and nothing happened. I left it over night (unplugged) and the screen was blank my morning. Plugging it in to my compter does nothing. Nothing happens. Does anybody know what can be wrong? I want to check before I call customer service.

I had the same exact problem. I tried all the same things and nothing worked. When I took it to my local Apple Store the determined that it was broken and non-responsive. They replaced it with a new one and the replacement is wroking GREAT!!! So, if you have purchased the iPod Nano within the last year then they should still replace it under the factory warranty.

Itunes non-responsive with ipod

itunes will open up but as soon as we connect an ipod the itunes freezes up and becomes non-responsive. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes but still doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions? We have three 30g ipods, could this be the problem?
Tks

After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: 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 still a problem, connect the iPod to its computer and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
- If not shown, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode see:

PS CC Frozen and non responsive.

My PS CC has frozen and become non responsive. It had been working fine until this week. I contacted Adobe support, got the usual "we can't help, contact technical support in 4 hours (please just smile and accept being punished for being in a different time-zone), or call this number to a closed office".
Has anybody else experienced their PS CC freezing and becoming non responsive?
If so did you fix it, and how?

Then you will have to go for a uninstall, then use the CS Cleaner tool and reinstall.

Mine is no longer responding to anything but when it's connected to the computer, it will restore and sync, but I cannot turn it off, play music or anything else and I would really like to know a solution for this as well!

I have a large collection of books and music. My ipod will sync everything without a problem. Every time I try to sync my iPad it freezes and becomes non-responsive after every file. I'll get one file on there and then have to keep clicking to get itunes to respond again. What is up with this?

Frozen iPod Screen

What do I do with a white screen on iPod touch and Power and Home buttons at the same time are non-responsive? I've read about similar problems and solutions but I haven't found one that fits my situation exactly. The other problems have a frozen white screen, but it will time out and go into "sleep mode" or the black screen where mine doesn't. Any ideas?

Try letting the battry full drain. It may take hours. Then charge for an hour and then try a reset
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.
ANd then a restore if necessary.

Now that I was sent by Microsoft to your download update site to get the latest version 4.0.1, Firefox crashes (becomes non-responsive) before opening any site page I try. When will you fix this problem?

For two weeks I have tried to use your automatic download of the latest version 4.0.1. It would sit there telling me it is trying to connect to the download computer for hours, several times overnight. Then, it became non-responsive and error messages were sent to Microsoft who directed me to your download site. After downloading your latest version several times, the new page would open. After selecting a bookmarked site, it would open (sometimes only partially) but when I tried to scroll down, it would freeze up and become non-responsive, again prompting error messages to Microsoft. They must be getting a kick out of this. I'm running a Gateway 7200S desktop with Microsoft XP and Intel single range Pentium 4 processor. I have been using your Mozilla Firefox as my default browser for several years with much satisfaction. Unfortunately, whatever upgrades were made have rendered it useless for me.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
