Non responsive Ipod mini

Hi,
My ipod mini has gone strange on me! I have been transferring music and podcasts to it successfully until last night, when I get an error message when transferring ipods which says "the ipod cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable". The podcasts I'm trying to move show up on the ipod through itunes (and shows and increased use of memory on the ipod) but it doesn't update the actual ipod. If I try to move music it simply won't let me move it at all. Other than once disconnecting my ipod before ejecting (after which it worked fine), I don't know what I could have done to have caused this. All of my ipod music and podcasts are still on my ipod and plays fine. Just can't move new stuff on there!
Any suggestions/help please?

Non-Responsive iPod.

I've been having a lot of problems with the clickwheel of my iPod. It seems to scroll randomly, even when I'm not touching the iPod. I've tried the 5 r's multiple times, got frustrated and stuck the thing in a drawer for a couple of weeks.
Tonight, I pulled it out, reset it, reinstalled the latest update... and the clickwheel doesn't work. I can't scroll, I can't select. The iPod doesn't seem to recognize that I'm touching it... It's like it's on hold, when in fact it's not. In fact, the only response I get is when I toggle the hold switch (I'll get the icon to come on and off and the iPod will wake up).
It's a 30GB iPod with video with the latest iTunes and firmware upgrade. I'm running a Mac with the latest OS upgrades, if that makes any difference. Is this a physical problem (has my clickwheel just died)? Could there be some song/file that would cause this? A problem with the upgrade?

There's a faint hope that you might find something useful here.

None responsive ipod apple logo comes on then screen goes black

Ive not used ipod for a while .Now it wont charge apple logo comes on then screen goes black

After connecting to a charging source for hours try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

How can I fix my non responsive ipod touch screen?

The screen shows the "connect to itunes" logo, and I do. But since it has a passcode on it, It won't connect to itunes and I can't put the passcode in because the touch screen is unresponsive. I've tried resetting multiple times and that has done nothing.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTuns. For recovery mode:

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

What are you considering non responsive with the plugins? Flash player is working just fine then I get your crash page in the middle of doing something. You say it only crashes when it's been unresponsive for 45 seconds. Mine is crashing in less then 1

I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month. I have updated to the latest version with the crash protection. Now the flash player crashes about every 20 minutes or so. On your blog page you state that I will get the crash page when the plugin has been non-responsive for 45 seconds well with mine the games are going along just fine then wham crash page. Flash player was responding and you gave me crash report anyway. What's up???? Flash player is crashing within seconds not 45 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your check plugin page always states that my plugins are UP TO DATE!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== three months ago and getting worse with every upgrade you send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
<u>'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''</u>
For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash

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.

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.

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.

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:
