Ok...My Ipod is frozen, what next???

My Ipod is frozen. I've tried resetting it. I've tried downloading the updater. I've hooked up to both my computer and USB adapter. I'm out of answers. I only have questions. This Ipod is not that old. It's a 20gb with only 1600 songs on it. What trips me out is that my mini NEVEr gave me any problems.
So...what do I do now?

See Here...
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this First... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the Reset again.

After 5 R's and Ipod reset utility, what next?

Nothing has worked so far to make my 1-gen iPod operable. (It has worked fine in the past.) I get a blinking orange light when it is plugged in to a usb port.
It shows up in System Profiler but not in ITunes or on my desktop.
The iPod Reset Utility either crashes when I run it or tells me I have "two iPods" attached to my computer, and that I should remove one. I do not have two iPods attached to my computer.
Thoughts on next steps?

There are several different things to consider here:
a) Disk Utility will only see your iPS when and if it's present as a mounted volume. Yours isn't mounting, it won't be seen. The fact that it's seen in the Profiles really doesn't mean anything at all.
b) Disk Repair won't really do anything at all to a Shuffle.
c) Re-formatting should NOT be done in your case. The only case when it's ever called for is a few cases where Windoze users have inadvisedly followed their own OS prompts to 'help out' by formatting this new drive that's suddenly popped up on their system. Even in those cases the Reset Utility will do the same thing and, beyond that, we're back to (a) above: If your iPS can be seen by Finder and Disk Utility then it can also be seen by the Reset Utility.
d) You need to get to the stage where you can reliably open and use the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility. You might have to d/l a fresh copy of it, you might have to Repair Permissions, you might only have to log out to a Restart. What you DO have to do is to get it so that it will open and run.
e) Once you do that, you have to make sure that you're exactly, exactly, following the instructions for its use. Severe cases absolutely require that it be run from a clean, fresh system start with nothing else at all going on, that it be given enough time to work, and that more than one run might be required.

Yo my ipod is frozen, what can I do?

Yo how can I fix my frozen ipod?

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

My ipod is frozen what can i do? 4gb nano

nothing will work,have tried all the off on scenarios etc.is there anything else other than restoring?

Hi Terrymcmullan,
I know this may sound simple, but have you tried resetting your iPod? Follow the steps, to ensure that you're doing the resetting step properly:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (leave it on the white side of the switch, which is the Off position).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds.
You might need to try this quite a few times. Try connecting your iPod to a power source for more effect.
Also, you could try rapidly toggling your iPod's hold switch back and forth while connected to your computer.
Any success after trying either of those things?

Try connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it. This article has instructions for placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

My IPod nano (older version) is frozen, so I can't do anything, and all of the online "help" things say that the IPod icon should appear under "Devices" but it's not, and because the IPod's frozen... What should I do???

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.
Regards.

HT1363 my ipod was frozen but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about that?

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
