(Possible) bug: iPod freezes after starting an audiobook

When I start an audiobook on my iPod, it freezes for +/- 33 seconds. This means that the screen is stuck and the buttons don't work. Is it me or is this a bug?
I've tested this with an .m4a file that I renamed to .m4b to be able to access it as an audiobook.

That's not really the problem. The thing is: I can use my iPod as I would use it normally, but when I open an audiobook, my iPod freezes temporarily (for +/- 33 seconds).
Interesting: when I connect my iPod with my computer during the time that my iPod is frozen, my computer doesn't respond until after the 33-second delay.

IPod freezes at start of Audiobooks

My Nano freezes for 30 secs as soon as I start to play audiobooks.
Audio continues, but everything else freezes and I can't do anything.
Anyone got any solutions?

Do a restore. You will lose all data so archive your Nano files to your hard-drive.
Here's my story of my restore: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3235446&#3235446

HT204053 i'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't upadte my free software, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOTOWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how I ca

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

IPod freezes after connecting to PC/iTunes

I think it's a common problem that iPods freeze after plugging in the USB cable. I don't know if it's working for others, but if i do a reset (hold menu plus select) on the iPod while it is plugged and iTunes is running it works. But i have to do this every time i plug it in... So much to years of software development...

"All of my songs that were numbered or had numbers in the title are not at the bottom of the songs list instead of being the first songs listed."
I assume you meant to say "now" at the bottom of the list?
Unfortunately, like it or not this how the latest version of iTunes sorts songs. Numbers now appear at the end of the listings.

IPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!!

iPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!! After installing version 1.2 the "do not disconnect" screen took forever to disappear, so i just removed the cables and it still remained
like that, i restarted it manually, but now it's getting stuck when the apple logo appears...i reset it and when i finnally turns on, and i'm at the language tab, it freezes. can anyone help.!?

Apple just released firmware 1.2.1 for the ipod, you should try restoring your iPod again with that.

Ipod freezes after sync

My Ipod freezes after every sync. I am forced to reboot it. Has anyone seen this? How do I fix it?

I took to my local Apple location and they just replaced it.

5G 60 Gig iPod freeze after fully charged...

My iPod freezes after a full charge. This usually happens after about 8 or more hours of leaving the power plug in, and occurs more often if the ear buds are plugged in. A simple reset wakes the iPod.
Have you experienced this?
Thanks!

They are partially charged. An hour is about right,
no cause for alarm.
how about the usual charging time? how long is it? mine is like an hour, and it is already full after that. is that ok?

Ipod freezing after not using it for 2 days

my Ipod freezes after not using it for 2 days, should i go to the apple store and get a new 1, or is this normal. If i do go to the apple store, i would probably get a nano right since they dont sell mini's anymore

What do you mean it "freezes". After 36 hours of inactivity the mini will go into 'deep sleep' mode. When awoken from deep sleep, the iPod will appear to reset. Is this what yours is doing? If so, it's normal.
Also, Apple still has a stock of minis available for warranty claims, so you wouldn't get a nano.
Cheers!

After Installing ox lion, mac pro freezes after start up

so... just like the title says. after installing ox lion on my macbook pro ( i have snow leopard before. 4g memory), sometimes it freezes right after start up, and I could not click on anything, and i had to force it to shut down by holding the power button.
I don't know if anybody else have the same problem or not? is it a bug or something? hope it can be solved soon.....
Also, I have installed all the updates so far...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I just don't know if this is showing some sort of problem..
If your Mac boots to the Desktop without freezing, nothing to worry about. The screen color may vary somewhat betweeen one Mac OS X to another.
This can help startup issues also.
Disable the Lion "resume" feature ...

IPOD Freeze after rating a song

I bought a new IPOD VIDEO 60G on 1 April (after my Ipod 4th generation's hard drive gave in 4 days after the warranty expired) and I already have problems ....as i can see a lot of people do
Have any of you come across this problem: I rate a song and the ipod freeze and do not want to go back to the "play" menu, it keeps playing songs in this RATING mode without wanting to UNFREEZe, bloody irritating and also worrying...
Any Quickfixes???

This is a known problem.
1.1.1 (the latest iPod updater) is supposed to fix it.
See -> iPod "stuck" on the artwork or rating screen

G4 running OS 10.5.4 freezes after start-up

My G4 is running Mac OS 10.5.4. It started frequently freezing after restart many months ago. I have to hard restart a few times and then it will eventually work, or, I can start-up in safe mode and then restart and it will work just fine. Once we are up and running there are no problems. I cannot link this problem to any new downloads or programs. I thought it might be hard drive failure and replaced the hard drive on the machine, but I still have a problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Welcome!
Can you be more specific about which G4 you have? There are a number of variants that can have different hardware issues. These two Apple tech documents are helpful in determining the exact model:
G4 Minitowers prior to Jan 2002
G4 Minitowers since Jan 2002
As you are running Leopard, I assume that your processor is at least 867mHz.
Was the computer stable prior to installing Leopard?
Did you use Leopard retail install disks?
Do you have enough RAM? How about free space on the hard drive? Free space should be at least 15 percent, more if you have limited RAM. %12MB RAM is about the minimum I'd try for runnign Lepoard.
When it freezes, do you get a bunch of cryptic writing on the screen or does it lock up with no information showing on-screen?
If the problems showed up after an incremental update (example: applying the 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 update), sometimes repairing permission on your boot volume can help.
Do you have any third-party PCI cards installed? What video card do you have?
I know this is a lot to digest, but is a start on the troubleshooting process.

Freezing , freeze after start-up

I have just had a new logic board fitted, the machine is now chimeing and starting up on every power-up but the OS has error's and the computer freezes after reaching as far as displaying desktop items or sometimes before.
I have tried:-
Booting from disks, computer freezes before it starts to install data or does not display my partioned hard drive in the destination window.
Target mode and re-installing 10.4 in archive and install mode.
could this be a faulty hard drive ? it has had approx 7000 hours use.
would it be a hard drive issue if it is still accessable from Target mode ?
Matt.

DaddyPaycheck-
I took it to the repair centre today and it booted up first time and did again. So I brought it home and first start a freeze. After 4 or so freezes I tried another instalation of 10.3.9 disks, (the orginal boot up discs the machine came with) that worked fine and did so through software update untill i installed 10.4 from dvd and then ran software update , de-selected the 10.4.9 and installed just the Java 1.3 and 1.4 updates - for better functionality within 10.4 - restarted from software update and the machine has frozen everytime.
It's time to take it back again tomorrow morning I am so peeved with the machine.

Please help - My iPod freezes after playing an mp4 movie

Hi all!
I've converted some dvd movies to mp4 using Avex DVD converter. However, after I watch one of these movies, my iPod freezes, and I have to reset it.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks!
-K

.m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats are recognized formats. There could be a problem with the conversion.
You could try another converter.
