Please help my frozen Ipod

i was going to play Vortex when the screen just stoped, it says "paused" but it is still zooming out of the menu like it does.
this happened to my old 1GB nano when i was playing music.
when i connect my ipod my computer just beeps and says there is something connected but nothing else. i unpluged my ipod and itunes said that it needs to be restored but how can i do that when my ipod wont show up in itunes?
the 5 R's dont work, i cant restart, i dont have any other usb ports, i reinstalled itunes, i restarted my computer.
does the warrenty that comes with ipods cover that?
it is 2 days old.
fifth generation
30GB
is this apples fault, or mine?
the hold is NOT on(im not that stupid)

  • Please Help Me, Major Ipod Problem

    Please Help:
    Recently I downloaded the new Itunes(Itunes 7). After downloading it I was prompted to upgrade my Ipod (30g Video) to the new system (1.2). Almost immediatly after finishing this download my Ipod turned off, and is now frozen and will not turn on. Also, my computer doesn't recognize when my Ipod is plugged in, nor does the "Do not disconnect" screen come up, my Ipod stays blank. I called Apple they told me that I can send in my Ipod for it to be fixed, but the hard drive on the Ipod will be wiped. I recently bought a new computer and do not have any of my songs in my library, this is over 2000 (2000 + dollars) songs I have bought that I am currently on the verge of losing.
    If anybody has any ideas on how can get my computer to recognize the Ipod is plugged in so I can back up all the songs (via my computer, ipod...copy all music files) would be greatly appreciated, that way when I send in my Ipod and then get it back, I can put my songs back on.
    Thank you in advance!

    A few things come to mind. First Linux. 2nd opening of said iPod and taking out the hard drive and hooking it into a EX USB hard drive connection. Not sure if it is the same.. but it is worth a shot... from the pics that I have been looking at, they appear to be the same. by doing this you will be able to tell where the problem is for sure. if it works then I think that you can go to iPod_Control (enable veiwing of hidden folders on PC) on the iPod in my computer.
    hope it works out for you.

  • Please help, Sad Face iPod

    Hey guys.
    Today when i was gonna tie my shoes my ipod fell out of my pocket.
    It wasnt a very long fall, and not a very hard surface.
    When i some 15 minutes after tried to use it, it was frozen, so i tried to restart. I did, but then it didnt start, just showing a sad face-ipod.
    What to do now? Ive tried most stuff on the internet, but nothing seems to do it. Has anyone of u had this problem?
    Please help!
    Best regards, Axel.

    The sad face icon usually means that you have a hardware problem, probably damage caused by the fall, however, have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help:iPod displays a sad iPod icon
    You can also check out this extensive user post, however read it carefully if you get to the Last Resort section you may not want to go this far: Mitch's Sad iPod and Exclamation mark post

    Try this Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond
    If that doesn't work then there is this Restoring iPod to factory settings

  • HELP! Frozen Ipod on Apple Logo

    Ok, Ive had my ipod nano since Christmas, and last night I charged it (overnight) on my docking station and today, I took it off, and tried to turn it on, and only the apple logo screen came up. I tried resetting it and it didnt work, and it definately isnt locked or on hold. After a bit, a website adress came up- the apple Support site. Then, the ipod went off again. I tried turning it back on again and it is now frozen on the apple logo screen again. Resetting doesnt help, as ive tried it, and the ipod definately isnt on hold and locked. Please help! Im desperate! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  • Please help me! iPod Touch 2 gen stuck in recovery mode!!

    I need help please! Yesterday, I installed the newest version of iTunes on a new PC with Windows XP, and when I connected my 2nd Gen 8GB iPod it prompted me for the new OS4 update to the iPod. I went ahead and said "yes" and walked away. At some point there was some kind of error and my iPod went into recovery mode. iTunes prompted me to restore. I have tried restoring multiple times always with the process reaching the very end where it's "verifying restore" and I get error message: An unknown error has occured (9). Error 9 helps me in no way. I feel I've tried everything and I can't get this thing out of recovery mode! Please help, I'm just sick over this. I haven't even had my iPod a year and I have loved it. Until yesterday.

  • Please help me my ipod wont work! D:

    I need serious help D:! ok so i have succesfully synced music onto my ipod b4 but i wanted more songs so i was syncing music onto my ipod touch once again and once the sync was almost finished it said something about an error and then when i unplugged my ipod all of my songs that i had 1st put on my ipod were gone D:! after that my ipod stopped showing up on itunes on one of my computers so i switched to the other and it started doing the same thing. i came on here and was told it might be because itunes wasnt up to date so i updated itunes and my ipod but after the update, during the time when it was backing up software i think, another error popped up and said something about how the session had timed out, my internet connection is fine to so it wasnt that. after that another error popped up saying i needed to restore my ipod back to its factory settings and i said ok but another error always pops up saying the sesion timed out of something! now my ipod is like it was when i first got it! the screen shows the end of a usb cord pointed at the itunes sign! ive tried turning it off but it wont work! and when i try to hook it up to itunes on either off my computers it doesnt show up in itunes and a message from windows pops up and says "Found new hardware: Windows needs to install driver software for your apple mobile device (Recovery mode)" please help me i cant even do anything at all with my ipod right now! D:

    The Internet provider might have too many people using the Internet than what the particular servers are setup for. Or your computer just needs to reset. Try restarting your computer. Also do a hard reset on the iPod. Hold the power button and wake button down until you see the apple logo come on. Let go. Then let the ipod finish bopting up . Then restore your iPod as a new iPod, NOT from the backup.
