Screen frozen and i cant reset it

HELP!!!!!!!! <3333333

To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:
iPod mini
iPod mini (Second Generation)
iPod with color display (iPod photo)
iPod (Click Wheel)
iPod nano
Fifth Generation iPod (also known as iPod with video)
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
This method really helped me when mine got stuck, it works!

    Accidently enlarged home screen and cant go back to normal screen frozen and cant even swipe on

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting.
    Probably the zoom feature enabled, double tapping with three fingers will bring back the screen to normal size again in that case.
    Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 139.
    Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three fingers

  • My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!

    My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!
    1. I tried connecting it to itunes for a system reset and it didnt work.
    2. The phone wont even turn on!!!

    If the phone wont turn on it sounds like it needs to be charged.  Plug it into a charger and wait about 15 minutes and try turning it on while still charging. Have you tried holding in your home button with the on/off button held in?  Hold them both together until the apple logo comes up and then release them.  The screen will blink off an on while it is resetting. I still think this is a battery issue. Good luck~

  • HT1320 My ipod nano is frozen and I cannot reset it.  How do I reset my ipod?

    I have an ipod nano that I purchased in 2009.  I believe it is a 5th generation.  It is frozen and I cannot reset it.

    Hey there Tricia9170,
    It sounds like you are unable to use the iPod Nano becuase it is unresponsive. Verify that this is the reset you have performed:
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    If so, try restoring it with the following steps in iTunes:
    Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
    How to restore your iPod:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Note
    : For Mac users, A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
    6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo and i cant reset it as my home button is broken what else can i try?

    my ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo and i cant reset it as my home button is broken what else can i try?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

    I BOUGHT A USED IPOD TOUCH AND ITS BEEN RESET EXCEPT FOR ICLOUD AND I CANT RESET IT WITHOUT THE PASSWORD. SO HOW DO I RESET IT

    Get the password from the person from whom you purchased it. It sounds like you encountered the Activation Lock
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    That is a new feature to help prevent theft. Apple will not help.
    You iPod may have been stolen or lost and yo may want to contact the police.

  • I created a new Screen Name and I cant find out how to ....

    I created a new Screen Name and I cant find out how to send my buddy list from my old screen name to my new one. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, BECAUSE I CANT TALK WITH MY FRIENDS!

    Hi Scott,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
    Use the Address Book.
    iChat and the Address Book are linked. If you have stored Real names in the iChat info about your contacts they shuould be in the Address Book. You can then drag them back to to the new Buddy list.
    The AIM application allows you to backup the Buddy list of one account/screen name and then import it into the new one as another workaround.

  • HT1551 Atv3 doesnt want to finish installing update although ive tried several times, now the remote wont work with it either and when I press the remote the light on the box flashes several times, I unplugged everything but nothing works and I cant reset

    my Atv3 is due for an update and ive tried several times to install it but although it downloads it never finishes installing and tells me that it wasnt possible to update and to try another time. I try every other day and it only inches forward in the progress but it never completes the installation. I was tired of waiting and I decided to keep on trying in a period of time one night until it would finally install, that never happened and Im not sure what is going on but the remote stopped working with the atv3 and when I press a button the box light flashes several times but does nothing, ive disconnected it and left it that way for over 24 hrs, ive disconnected everything (tv, internet etc) and nothing. I cant reset the atv3 through the remote either...i dont know what else to do

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!
