Restore the iPod using iTunes. If that doesn't work, if it is less than a year old you may take it back and Apple will give you a new one free of charge unless you did something to it like you dropped it or it got in the water.

This has happened to several people, unfortunately. BUT, there is a way to fix it! Click on the apple support link below.

reboot the ipod by switching the hold button from off to on then off again, then hold down the middle button and the top button untill it turns off and on again. it should then behave its self

The ONLY way to resolve this issue is to restore using iTunes. iTunes will restore the iPod. It is recommended to only have one iPod connected to one computer at a time. Also shairring your library should not cause the iTunes to not restore your iPod. If you are not wanting to restore the iPod due to not wanting to loose music, you will have to choose between unlocking the volume limit and keeping music.

Maybe i shud start by explaining why most Ipods freeze or crash. When you unplug you ipod improperly this may and usually causes the itunes software to crush and stop functioning. The softwares corrupts and cant function. So you probably cant enjoy ua music.
With the viruses in your computer its easily to infect your ipod since ipod is a mass storage device also. Some viruses have a way of freezing the itunes software.

When it comes to restoring your ipod you need a computer that is not infected with viruses. you need to format your ipod if it cant be restored directly from the internet. After the ipod is completely formated which means you have done away with the viruses/all the songs you can restore it with itunes.

But there is also a way of recovering songs from your ipod before formating or restoring since if you format you get to loose all ua files without recovering them.

But the biggest problem is when your ipod is not even recognized by your computer. But if your computer can recognize your ipod as a mass storage even if its not syncing your music, there is a possibility restore it to normacy. The only rist is loosing all your data, but with an expert you dont have to loose anything.

i dont know about the freezing but when u sync your ipod all the music is erased from the ipod and then your complete itunes library is loaded back on the ipod to keep this from happening u need to click on the ipod on the side of the itunes go into the ipod setting and select load music manually now to put music on you have to click and drag the song or album over into the ipod on the side of itunes

Format it and reinstall/sync with itunes.your folders have been corrupted some how.RICHARDM69
