The screen on your iPod touch 5 is frozen. What to do if your iPod is frozen
Over the decades, Apple has released many types of popular music player iPod, improving them from generation to generation. Devices from the Cupertino company have long been associated by users with the standard of quality. But, like any technology, Apple devices are also susceptible to various types of software failures. iPod freezing - common problem among music lovers, resulting in short-term inoperability of the iPod. Despite software improvements, users around the world still experience device crashes and don't always know what to do if their iPod freezes.
To get rid of the software freeze, you need to restart your iPod. True, each model has its own set of hot keys for rebooting. For example, to restart the iPod Touch, you need to connect it to your computer and run it on the PC iTunes program. Then you should hold down two keys “Sleep” and “Home” at the same time until the logo appears Apple. iPod Touch will automatically restart and sync with your computer. All you have to do is click on iTunes button"Restore".
However, if you don’t have iTunes at hand, you can do a “hard reboot” that deletes all data by simultaneously holding down the “Home” and “Power” keys.
What to do if you're stuck iPod Classic? Simultaneously press Menu keys and Select on the player and wait until the company logo appears on the screen. The settings on iPod Nano and iPod Video of all generations are reset in the same way. However, you need to take into account that the player’s blocking must be removed. As for the iPod Nano 6, the device “hangs” after simultaneously pressing the “POWER + VOLUME DOWN” buttons. The latest, seventh generation Nano reboots, like the iPod Touch, by simultaneously pressing the “Home” and “Power” keys.
To restart your iPod Shuffle, you need to slide the power switch to the Off position. (the green bar is not visible) and after 10 seconds move it to the “On” position. At the same time, for the first two generations of players, Apple recommends waiting 5 seconds, and for the 3rd and 4th generations – 10 seconds.
Software malfunctions in the player may occur due to various reasons. Mechanical damage, moisture ingress into the housing, " wrong firmware", overheating of the device - all this can cause the iPod to freeze. But don’t panic and immediately contact service center. First, try restarting your iPod using the above methods, and then restore or update the firmware through iTunes. If the measures you have taken do not help fix the problem of the player freezing, then contact an authorized service center.
Method No. 1
Press and hold the iPhone's power button (aka "Power") until large buttons"Turn off" and "Cancel";
Touch iPhone screen on the left side of the red button “Turn off” (slide to power off) and, without lifting your finger from the surface of the screen, swipe the button to its right border. This gesture is called “Swipe” (from the English Swipe - to carry out without taking it off). The iPhone will begin to turn off.
Wait until the device screen goes completely dark and briefly press the "Power" button. The display will show corporate logo Apple and iPhone will begin downloading to normal mode.
Method No. 2
Discharge the device and then connect it to a power source to turn it back on, but this method takes time, especially if the battery is fully charged. To speed up the charging process, turn the screen brightness to maximum and play a longer video, the battery will drain much faster than in normal mode.
In accessibility settings, which allows you to fine-tune appearance operating system for people with disabilities, there is a function to enable the display of text in bold. After activating the function " Bold font", the system will ask you to reboot the device, which is so necessary for us.
Go to "Settings -> General -> Universal access", and find the "Bold" switch.
Move it to the on position... Voila - you will be asked to restart your iPhone, for which you just need to tap on the corresponding button.
Method number 4Another change in the settings of iOS devices that requires them to be rebooted is resetting the network settings. Don't be alarmed, this function allows you to return the settings Wi-Fi networks, and cellular communications to factory ones. After rebooting the device, they can be easily restored either manually or from backup which I advise you to create as often as possible.
Follow the same path, that is, to “Settings”, then to “General”, scroll to the bottom of the screen and find the “Reset” item.
What should you do if your iPhone is frozen and does not respond to touches or presses on the mechanical control buttons? iPhone and any other iOS device can be forced to reboot from any state. For this:
Press and hold the Home and Power buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds. iPhone display will go out completely.
Release both buttons. If after this the Apple logo does not appear on the screen, briefly press the power button. The iPhone will start booting normally.
This method allows you to force restart your iPhone or iPad when a software glitch occurs. We advise you to use this procedure in case of emergency, and if you can get by with the remaining 2 methods, use them. Leave this one as a last resort.
Method number 6
Manage mobile devices from Apple and the iPhone in particular, it is possible without mechanical control buttons. The creators took into account the high, but still limited resource of mechanical controls and in case touchscreen your iPhone has survived the control buttons, the operations for which the “mechanics” were responsible can be performed using gestures.
To activate full control iPhone using touch, you need to enable the " Assistive Touch". This function allows you to flexibly configure device control using gestures and completely replaces mechanical control buttons.
Activation Assistive functions Touch
Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility;
"Tap" on the Assistive Touch menu icon; In the menu of this function, “tap” on the “Device” icon, and then long “tap” (touch the screen of the device and do not lift your finger) on “Screen lock” until the “Turn off” and “Cancel” buttons appear;
And then everything is as before turning off iPhone in normal mode, swipe right on the “Turn off” button. The device will begin to turn off;
How can you then turn it on if the shutdown button is not working properly? Just connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable and it will turn on normally.
Method No. 7
The last way is to disassemble the iPhone and replace the battery. If you don’t have experience, it’s better to contact any service; it won’t cost much and will be quick, but the likelihood of any additional damage will be significantly less :)
As you can see, the ways reboot iPhone are quite simple and do not require any additional effort.
