Hi — I am also experiencing a computer freeze when I plug my gb ipod classic in. Hey, i just bought a used iPod Nano 3rd generation with 4GB on it, on saturday.
Its friday and up til now its been working virtually perfectly! Even last night i was listening to music and setting up an alarm for 7am.
When i woke up the next morning i grabbed my iPod and tried to check the time on it, but the screen wouldnt light up or anything, it stayed black. Then i plugged it into my computer thinking it might need to be charged even though i already charged it fully the previous night. When i plugged it in, the screen lit up. Please help.. This really helped me a lot! I bought this iPod just when it came out so it was like bucks!
And I was so shocked when it froze! I pressed the menu and center button and it really worked! I have had loads more songs on it previously but decided to change the type of music I listened to. I have put new music onto my computer and it says it is transfering the track but will only do then says its full. Please help. Hi, Thank you for the tips. My IPOD that had stopped playing Progress bar was frozen and no audio sound was heard although it was in the play mode.
Hey, thanks, my ipod nano 2nd generation had froze up and wasnt doing anything, hitting the center and menu at the same time did the trick for me : i was thinking i might have to finally upgrade but i guess not : Thanks!

My ipod is frozen on the plug into itunes screen but when i plug it into itunes it doesnt recognize the ipod… Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thank You! Your tricks helped so much…. Literately saved my life….. My iPod freezes, turns white, then turns off and the apple logo comes back and turns on every time I press EDIT on a photo in my normal photo roll without apps!! OMG thank you sooo much I was crying!! Help I have an iPod 4gb nano and I found it in my room today and I plugged it in and it said connect to power and I did all these things and it still says connect to power.
The charger works on everything else so the charger works but it is the iPod. What should I do? I cleaned out the power thing with a toothpick and found a big ball of fuzz in it but it still says connect to power.
Help what should I do. I have the gb Ipod classic. While it is not plugged to anything it works perfectly…but when I have it plugged in to my car stereo it works great for a while but then it just locks up. I have to take it off of the stereo hookup and press the middle and the top button to reset it…then it is ok for another few days and does it again.
It is like it is getting an over charge or something and just locking up…Is there anything I can do or add to my ipod to stop this? The second is always plugged in at home connected to both power and a stereo, through a dock thingie , and the second is always connected to my car through a cable, though the power comes and goes depending upon whether or not the car is on.
Both exhibit the same syndrome:. Every week or two they freeze, completely. No amount of fiddling the hold switch on and off, pushing multiple buttons and holding them for long periods, or plugging and unplugging them from power adaptors, the car, or a computer affects this. They show no signs of life at all, other than the screen typically being visible though possibly dim. The only way to get them back to life is to leave them unplugged and wait until the battery drains.
Any better solution to the problem than the one, painfully time consuming one, I have? Any understanding of the problem sufficient to at least give me a scheme to prevent the problem? I have two iPods, one a third generation nano, and the other a venerable disk based one, vintage The former is always connected to my car, and the latter is always connected to a power adapter and stereo through a dock. The power to the nano goes on an off as the car does, while that to the even older one is on all the same.
Both exhibit the same syndrome. Every week or two they will completely freeze. Nothing changes. And ideas what I might do that is less time consuming for resurrecting them? Or ideas for how to prevent the problem? Ive tryed every thing i can think of and nothing works for me. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

This can often "thaw" your iPod without any other action needed on your part. This works whether you plug your iPod into a computer or an outlet — either will do. Try letting your iPod run out of battery. Is your iPod so frozen that you can't even reset it with the steps above? In this case, one thing you may want to try is leaving your iPod in a safe place for a long time so that the battery can completely drain.
When this happens, the iPod will be forced to turn off, ending whatever process is keeping it frozen. After this, simply plug it in, let it charge for a few minutes, and try to turn it back on. Your iPod may take quite some time to run out of battery completely, especially if it didn't freeze in the middle of an energy-consuming task like playing music. If your iPod froze in an "idle" state with a full battery, it may take days for it to drain, so be patient.
Try restoring factory settings when all else fails. If nothing you do seems to get any results, you may want to try the last-resort method of wiping your iPod's memory completely. This will return it to its factory settings, meaning that any music, apps, videos, and personal data on the device will be lost. If possible, you will probably want to back up your files onto one or more computers.
To perform a factory reset: [4] X Research source Connect your iPod to your computer and start iTunes. If possible, take the opportunity to sync your iPod with iTunes so that you can easily retrieve your files after the restore.
Select your iPod in iTunes. On the "Summary" tab, click "Restore" Confirm your choice in the pop-up window. Wait for the process to complete as iTunes downloads the new OS files and restores your device.
Follow the set-up prompts once your iPod restarts to get it working again. Consult Apple Support for additional help. Have a problem that's not addressed in this article? Apple's official help resources are a great place to start.
