Unresponsive ipod and I tried EVERYTHING

The fact is, it has frozen a few times by itself over the last few weeks. When I first recieved it I never encountered the problem until this month. It'll freeze whenever it pleases, this includes when it casually plays music, connecting or disconnecting from the PC. I will also add, I had press the "menu" and "select" button at the off switch. Even the on switch. Yet no Apple logo appears and I had tried it from 10 secs to even 30secs. I tried other various buttons and pressing it down but it does nothing. Even toggled the on/off switch in hope it'll come back alive.
Normally, at this point I give up and let the battery run out, so I'm here to ask what other alternative solutions is there? Thank you

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 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
If that doesn't work, plug your iPod into iTunes, and click restore. You will have to put music back onto yor iPod after.

Help! iTunes wont recognise iPod and ive tried everything..

I seem to have this ongoing drama with iTunes. I thought it was all over last week when I updated iTunes with the latest version. Everything was sweet for a couple of days. Now its back!
Whats happenning is this:
I connect iPod.
Nothing happens, it doenst start up iTunes.
So I manually open iTunes.
iTunes is very slow. Finally opens up.
Then it spends another 5mins "frozen".
Finally the iPod pops up but its asking me to re-name it.
It asks me this every time.
When it syncs it takes a long time.
When I ask it to eject, it takes probably 20min.
Sometimes i have to eject it from My Computer.
This is what I have tried to do:
Restart the computer.
Restart iPod.
Change USB ports.
Restore iPod from iTunes - it never actually completed this as after 2 hrs of watching the progress bar not going past the first stage I gave up!
Re-install iTunes. Couldnt get it to go past the part where it was stopping a service? Dont know what this means but it wouldnt re-install.
So can anyone suggest what I should try now cause I am stuck.
Please if you have a suggestion I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Update - I have discovered that iTunes will only recognise my iPod if I open it in the following order 1)Connect iPod, and 2)Open iTunes. If I already have iTunes open and then plug the iPod in it wont work.
Its still asking me to set up the iPod and it takes around 5mins to detect the iPod is connected.
Please can anyone help me?????

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

I have updated my ipod and it deleted everything including my photos and i did not save my photos on any other device, How do i get them back?

You didn't import all of your pics regularly? Particularly before an update?
They may very well be gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Is there anyway to have an 11 inch mac air connected to an external monitor with lid closed and still be able to see content. I have a wireless ketboard and mouse and have tried everything. Only works when plugged in.

You are referring to a feature called Clamshell Mode, please read Clamshell Mode setup for instructions.
BTW when posting when you use generalities such as "have tried everything" this tells us nothing. When posting please be specific and try to paint a complete picture. It just makes things easier for those trying to help you.

I got a new ipod and i tried to transfer my songs but some of the songs will not work on it

I recently bought a new ipod and i tried to transfer my old songs from my old ipod onto it, but some of the songs will not transfer even though i bought them through itunes. do you know how to fix this problem?

So you are saying that some songs do sync to the iPod from this iTunes library, right?
What is the source of the non-syncing songs? What is the format? Is it different from the songs that do sync?

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:

Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

After downloading the latest update, my playlists now go into shuffle mode everytime I try to play. I have turn6ed off shuffle on both my computer and ipod, and even tried recreating a new list, to no avail. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play. I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck. I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened. Any ideas on how to fix?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.
