Ipod froze... what else can I do?

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link. Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

My doc says that I have to have the app downloaded for the IPOD to work. No app-any suggestions?

It was tough and with no directions! Remove the silicone cover.The inside black piece separates from the back black piece (see if you can see the seam and pry it apart from there) and then the iPod sandwiches in between.

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

Same problem here. Recorded 3 songs, did an ISO upgrade, now nothing. Currently running Ipad 2 iOS 8.4.1. I do believe I have a 100$ paper weight. I'll stick this thing next to my other computer trash in hopes someone comes up with a clever fix someday.

Try pushing the reset button on the side. You might have to use a paper clip or pin, but that worked for me when mine locked up.

I have the same problem. I'm using an iPod touch and the charging quit. It plays fine, but the WiFi quits without the charger running, so my connection to internet radio drops after about 20 minutes or so.

I am experiencing the same problem with 4Gb Blue Nano, which freezes pretty much once a day, usually happens while accessing a song or audiobook immediately after syncing. Does not happen every time, though - seems to happen when I am too fast to push the play button without waiting for the previous menu to fully appear. This is very annoying, as my old iPod Mini NEVER did that.

It happened to me 2 days ago, and all I had to do was to unplug the Ipod and plug it back. And make sure that the connection is tight(pushed all the way in), a lose connection might cause that error msg to pup up. Also make sure that the Ipod is charged up, because it isn't getting charged from the cable. I don't know where you live, but you should know that the cold is draining the battery quicker than normal usage does.

I was hoping to get a decent working device. It's pretty simple, yet the LCD was messed up from the start and then after a couple of weeks my IPOD 5 tells me the device is not recognized. Reminds me of Windoze.

Is this the first time you are using this device? If so, swipe your finger from the "Lock" icon to the Speaker icon" If the screen is frozen or crashed, press the "reset" button (tiny hole near the power button, stick a paper clip tip inside. It will reboot.

I would contact them ASAP and have them send you a new one. Also, do you have any other device to test it with? For instance, an iPhone? That way you can see if it purely is a defective unit or whether it is just having trouble working with that iPad.

Hi I'm not sure if this will help you or not but I suspect that mine was froze on me a couple of times when I couldn't hear anything or get it to respond..smiles...so I held down the left/back button and bottom/down area on the zune swirl pad for a few second and my screen then went to black. I then lightly pressed the center of the swirl touch pad and the screen came back to life and the sound was back and all was well. I hope that this will help you. I saw a notation on resetting in a cnet review as well but can't recall what their suggestion was. If I come across it again in my lurking around, I will come and post it for you if your question is still open and unresolved.

Try turning the receiver off before you remove the iPod, and leaving it off before you plug it back in. This might resolve the problem.
