My ipod is frozen

[Whatevar]

It's just stuck on pause and says it's on hold (but it's not).

When I tried to plug it into my computer to charge it, it said the USB device had malfunctioned?

What does one do in these situations? Just WAIT for it to unfreeze??

ipods are shit. Mines never worked properly. Now it can't be off mains charging for longer than 10 minutes

[Pipo]

Too much MAriah can kill an ipod

[Whatevar]

I KNOW IPODS ARE SHIT blah blah

Just TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

And DON'T say "pour water on it" or something THANKS :D

[Världen]

Put the batteries out..May lose some data though,

Buy a Creative Zen Vision: next time :disco:

[Whatevar]

Can you open it? :confused:

[That One]

That happened to mine. I had to leave it on til the batteries had run out because NOTHING would unstick it. It worked fine then when I switched it back on.

I've not had any other problems in over a year though so I can't complain really.

[Pickle]

Do that emergency re set thing, says it all in the book

[Whatevar]

BOOOOOOK?

[Världen]

Can you open it? :confused:
I have no clue, that's just what I do when my hangs up. I don't have a I-pod though. :shy:

[Whatevar]

I thought maybe SHAKING it vigourously might help :D

[Whatevar]

I have no clue, that's just what I do when my hangs up. I don't have a I-pod though. :shy:
Then HUSH

[Suedehead]

Reset it by pressing down the centre button and Menu, or let the batteries run out.

[Whatevar]

THANK YOU

[Världen]

You're always welcome.

[DrEAmFish]

yeah, hold in the centre button and menu for 10secs!

[Whatevar]

Yes I've done it now THANKS

[Suedehead]

Oh and I'm not "bitter" you utter utter cunt.

[Dr Lecter]

Where does the Suedey / Whateva hatred come from?

[cwej]

just to share some experience i had my first big ipod freeze fright
not only did it freeze, but it killed my computer when i plugged it in, it didn't respond to any toggling, resetting, plugging in the power, itunes said it's "corrupt" and had to be restored to original setting, i.e. everything on it had to be erased

well i read on some forum something that magically helped - you plug it in the power, you put it on a flat horizontal surface, you toggle the hold switch and then press the enter and menu buttons together

it was like a mini-CPR session

anyway horizontal is the new missionary

all it takes is a quick search on the apple FAQs to tell you how to do a reboot. something that is essentially a hard drive is going to crash every now and again to be fair.
