Thanks so much! I was just playing angry birds and all of a sudden it went dark and the screen wiped out besides the time and by the time they’re were mini lines all around it. But I held the top button and the center button for about 20 seconds, then the apple logo came up for about 10/15 seconds. and now it works!(; Thanks so much! I couldn’t imagine having to tell my dad that I broke a 300$ iPod!!

My ipod touch 3rd generation, 64gb froze on the main unlock screen. It has been froze froze for 2 days and the battery is dying at unbareable pace…
After it dies..do I just plug it back into my computer and it’ll be fine or is there something else I have to do?
Also is there anyway to drain the battery faster without harming the ipod?
Any help would be great. I’ve only had it a month and if it’s broken already I’m gonna die.

@bill you have to let hold your power botton and hold home button at the same time. hold both until you get a usb cord and the itunes then go to your itunes and it will say restore unknown ipod or so and yes restore it. then if you have backed up your ipod before the freeze happen you can um get your stuff back.

“If you press and hold the Menu button as well as the center select button for about 10 seconds, you will restart your iPod.”
You’re awesome. You saved me so much time from spending trying various ways to unfreeze my iTouch.
There’s an application I have on my iPod that freezes it if I forget to close it out before I go to bed.
I need the application so removing it isn’t an option.
I wouldn’t be able to do anything at all except hit the top button to try and turn it off, but when it would show the slider to shut down, it’d be frozen and I wouldn’t be able to slide the bar.
The solution to hit that top button along with the bottom, center select button simultaneously worked like a charm! It shut down and I was able to restart it, all without headache.
Thank you SO much!

My iPod would always take me back to my main page the I figured out that it was over heating so I just have to blow on it every 5 minutes or so and that seemed to fix the problem

Ok so my itouch 2g has been working fine for a while now, and my brother goes to turn it on today and he said it was lagging really bad, everything was delayed sometimes up to minutes. He restarted it a couple of times, and then it started to flash the apple symbol, and then go white after a minute of the apple symbol every time he restarted it. Now, when you restart it, it does the apple symbol, and actually goes to the home screen, but if you turn it off or open an app, it freezes again and eventually turns white. Does anybody know what to do?

Pookie, That means you have to connect it to itunes, as if the picture wasnt simple enough already. Some of you, who say that when you open an app and i just goes back to the home screen, that means that the app crashed, usually related to an incomplete download, usually something you get when you download from Installous or some of those other jailbroken apps. And if your ipod is jailbroken, and you update it to a new version like 3.1.3, your jailbreak wont support the new version, unless it was made for 3.1.3, or whatever version you updated to. So, if you updated, and your apps and cydia and all that arent working, you have to do a recovery from itunes (reset to factory settings), and then jailbreak it using a newer jailbreak software. If you are version 3.13, use Spirit, it is fast and easy, you click a button on the computer after connecting your itouch or iphone, and its done. Fast, free and easy, i used it on my itouch and it worked like a charm. So yes, there is now finally a jailbreak for 3.1.3 if you were wandering.
