The iPod is a portable music player made by Apple. As of early 2011, Apple sells four models: iPod shuffle, iPod classic, iPod nano and iPod touch. If your iPod experiences a problem such as not responding or freezing, you can reset it to see if that takes care of the problem. IPod Shuffle The iPod shuffle is the smallest iPod model, with 2GB of storage.
It has no screen and attaches to your clothing with a clip, making it well suited for exercising while listening to music.
When it doesn't respond, or if the status light is solid red, you can reset it.
Slide the three-way switch left toward the word "Off," covering the green bar. Wait 10 seconds, and then slide the switch back to reveal the green bar to turn it back on.

After this, release the button and then again press the top button and the home button at the same time briefly to start your iPod Touch.

It will take much longer than usual to start up when starting after a reset like this. After the restart after reset, your iPod Touch should work normally.

Try to restart the ipod ..... hold down the home button and lock button for about 10 - 20 seconds and it should do a hard reset on the ipod......if it comes back up and still doesnt work, you may want to take it to the apple store.....it may have a failing touch screen.

1. Verify if your pc passes the system requirements.
(a) usb 2.0 port
(b) You are running the latest version of itunes

2. Recharge your iPod Touch

3. Check USB connections. Use a USB port that is built into the computer instead of using an external usb hub.

4. Restart iPod Touch. Do the following steps: To restart iPod touch, first turn iPod touch off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPod touch will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPod touch on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPod touch not responding? To reset iPod touch, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

5. Restart your computer then reconnect your iPod Touch

6. Try reinstalling iTunes. And if this doesn't resolve the issue, you can also try uninstalling iTunes then reinstalling the latest version.

7. Check if there are third-party software that might prevent iTunes from recognizing your iPod touch. Such software may be security software, anti-virus software and webcam drivers. What you can do is adjust the software settings or you may also temporarily disable the software.

Connect your iPod Touch to your computer. Turn your iPod Touch off (hold down the top button and slide the red off slider). Then hold down the top button and the home button for ten seconds then let go of the top button while still holding the home button and KEEP holding it for up to 30 seconds. If it doesn't work the first time, try it again - iTunes should pop up and say that it sees an iPod Touch in restore mode. Click restore and you'll be able to get it back up...

Just a simple solution--try rebooting your iPod touch. To do that:

1. Hold down both Power (button on the top) and Home (button on the front) buttons.
2. Continue doing so even after the iPod Touch turns off and when the Apple logo appears, let go.
3. Your iPod Touch is now going to operate smoothly, unless you have damaged your device, and if you have, go to an Apple store to have it fixed.

Restarting the ipod after it has frozen is a simple 5 step process.

1. Hold down the hold button at the top left of the touch and the home button at the center front of the device.
2. Continue holding them even after the slider to turn off the touch appears. Do not let go at this point.
3. A few seconds after this, the screen will flash and go black. At this point, the touch has been rebooted.
4. Hold down the hold button at the top left until the screen lights up again and the Apple logo appears.
5. Release the button and let the iPod touch finish booting up and you’ll be ready to rock again
