Why did my iPod  reset itself when I was trying to watch a video?

Hi Everyone,
I was watching a video on my ipod and I got halfway through the video and the Ipod reset itself. My iPod is okay after it reset itself. I was wondering has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to fix it?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
lizabler

Hey lizabler!
I personally haven't experiened this specific thing myself, by I have certainly read issues like your quite a few times on the Discussions.
When your iPod resets itself in this kind of case, this happens usually because, while you're playing a video on your iPod, it's not being able to continuouly load and play that video fast enough to actually play the video at a normal speed.
This can be caused by the iPod's battery.
How charged/discharged was your iPod around the time when your iPod reset itself? Try letting your iPod's battery fully die, then let it recharge for a full 3 hours, and see if this ever happens again.
Also, if this ever happens again, have you tried resetting your iPod several times? (holding the "Menu" and middle buttons together for 10 seconds)
Sometimes your iPod resetting itself can also be caused by your iPod's memory being highly used. For example, if you have a 60 GB iPod, and you've used up 54 GB of it already, this can sometimes somehow bog up the iPod, causing it to act strangely.
If this iPod-resetting-itself behavior recurrs, and resetting the iPod several times doesn't help, try restoring your iPod to factory settings -> How to restore your iPod
I hope that info helps you.

  • Why did my ipod shut down when it was fuly charged.

    my ipod shut down when it had changed all night.

    I buy a new cd yesterday. I went home to go on my computer hook up my Ipod to put new music on it. I did this all before. Usually went like a piece of cake. When I did it yesterday my Ipod after I put new music on it. My Ipod went not bright out. I didn't see it was okay to disconnected. Usually I did it will be light up. My Ipod was so dark I couldn't see the okay to disconnected. Can someone help why it's acting like that?

  • Why did Droid RAZR reset itself?

    On Friday my Droid RAZR reset itself back to factory settings all by itself. It was fine, and then 10 minutes later when I looked at it my apps, contacts, photos, and everything else were gone. It was prompting me to set up the phone like it was brand new. First off, why did this happen? Second, can I get anything back?

    This happened on Friday, July 4. I was out of town for the weekend so when I got back I went to the Verizon store on Monday the 7th. I asked why this happened and how I could prevent it from happening again. They told me that sometimes phones do this on their own and they don't know why. There's nothing I can do to keep it from happening again, apparently. Because of my extended warranty they've ordered me a replacement phone for free which should arrive today.
    I had never signed up for Verizon Cloud so nothing was backed up from that phone.

  • IPod reset itself when I tried to rewind or forward the video

    My 3-week-old ipod video has problem now when playing video. When I tried to rewind or foward the video (44mins, 301MB), the ipod screen suddenly turned black and the apple logo appeared at the middle (I think the ipod has reset itself). Anybody can help me to solve this problem?

    Firmware? I heard the newest firmware had problems, also i would try restoring the iPod or converting it with something else. Never heard of Jodix, make sure it is converting the file to iPod standards.

  • Ipod constantly resetting itself when plugged into Itunes.

    My new 5G 80gig Ipod constantly resets itself when I plug it into Itunes. Any ideas? The Ipod is new...

    Here's what I've done so far unsuccessfully:
    Placed it into disk mode, but it does the same thing. Once plugged into the computer the ipod is recognized by both windows and Itunes but it resets itself within 30 seconds. It constantly keeps resetting itself.
    Also, since it keeps resetting itself, and therefore disappears form itunes, I cannot reformat/hardreset it via Itunes....

  • My ipod keeps resetting itself when i plug it in to the computer, now what?

    Basically, I plugged my ipod into my laptop as usual and itunes sprang up with an error message that i can't quite remember. I just remember that it mentioned a file corruption and that i should either restore the ipod settings or i should disconnect and reconnect it. I reconnected it and got the same result, then tried again. This time iTunes didn't recognise it all and within a minute of being connected my ipod reset itself. The laptop registers it, but my ipod just keeps resetting itself and i don't know what to do. I've tried resetting it and restoring default settings, so what more can i do or is a repair the only option?

    Follow the steps mentioned in this article to disable the camera notification: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501 , then try again to connect to iTunes.

  • Ipod reset itself...

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • Why did my library duplicate itself and how do I remove it?

    Why did my library duplicate itself and how do i remove them?

    An iTunes manual? It is supposed to be so intuitive you don't need a manual.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/
    Most people don't have issues, but most people posting here do, obviously, why else would they come?
    With regards to the way iTunes works (when it is working as it is supposed to) if you use the software the way the designers expected you to it all works out OK. The problems start with those of us who think things should work slightly differently and get then confused with the results. At that point you either have to learn to work the way the program expects you to, or work around it. I encourage people to do work with it, as is easier, but in practice I write scripts to enforce my will on iTunes.

  • Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

    Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

    Hello!
    The same happened to my yesterday night when I was charging my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. My first impression was that could it be and auto update (to install iOS 6.1.2) however I'm still on 6.1.
    It erased ALL my info and shows the initial configuration wizard......this is totally a mega ***!!!!!!

  • My Ipod resets/restarts when I skip songs, help

    I don't know if you guys had the same problem. But when I skip some amount of songs, the Ipod resets itself showing the 'Apple' logo and takes me back to the menu.
    Do any of you have the problem? Apple staff, is there an Apple updater to fix this?

    Alan,
    This is most likely a software issue on your ipod. If you restore it, it would eliminate the software issue on the ipod, and barring that, your ipod would have to be sent in to be repaired/replaced, because it would be a hardware issue.
    Also, over the next little while, there should be a new version of the software out for the nano / video ipod... so keep your eyes out for that.
    Have a good one,
    Matt

  • Why did my ipod receive a song separate from the album that was downloaded

    why did my ipod receive a  song separate fron the album that it was downloaded with?
    i copied a cd using itunes

    Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
    1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
    2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?

  • HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.
