    I had an iPod with freezing problems. FYI, just goto http://www.irestoreteam.com and they’ll take care of you. Great service and they fixed the problem. Mine was a bad battery.

    I tried doing everything in the article but it didn’t work. Some freezing problems apparently are hardware related.
