corrupt data. take all your files and copy them (for safety) then delete the originals and reload them into your I-pod, if that does not work you've got water damage (even if you don't, that is what they will say when you claim warranty insurance) so you'll need to buy a new one. but I have experienced this so my first solution should work.

Answer 13

you'll have to reset it.

hold the play+the middle button down until your ipod turns on and off and off.  

Answer 14

I think that happened to my sisters Ipod.

When it freezes, just hold down the menu botton for a few minutes 'till the screen goes black and a little white apple pops up.

For the skipping I'm not sure, but it may be the headphones.   Try pushing them in more, but if that doesnt work, then maybe get new head-phones.   If the new hea-phones dont work, then bring the ipod to Best Buy, Circut City, Radio Shack, etc.   Well, hope it helps

Answer 15

two answers for this question. try plugging your ipod into your computor and restoring the ipod to factory settings. or if that dosnt work go to the nearest apple store and have them take a look at it. if there is not an apple store in your town send it in to the apple repair center found on apple.com/support/ipod  

Answer 16

Have you tried resetting it? I would try that first. Just move the hold button to lock and then unlock it and hold the center button and menu button down. You might have to wait a couple of seconds before it resets itself. And this wont remove any of your songs.

Hope this helps!

Answer 17

i would definitely reset your ipod. if its the nano then you hold the center button and the play/or menu button continuosly.

Answer 18

it's probably damaged firmware. you should just get a new i pod.

Answer 19

hold down on menu & select at same time for ten secs...till it shuts off, then it will be ok.  been there many times.

Answer 20

you know that menu when you plug your ipod in that automatically appears? (that part under "devices") go to the summary tab, and then click "restore" which is in the version part of the page. restoring your ipod will erase the entire library from your ipod. then you just upload it back on. i did that when my ipod wasn't working, and that worked for me.
