Device freezes when I try to delete apps

Question

I have the 5th generation iPod touch with iOS 7.0.4 and whenever I hold down on an app and try to delete it, my iPod freezes for about a minute and then restarts. I can hold down the apps so they jiggle and I can move them, but whenever I press the &#x27;x&#x27;, I can&#x27;t do anything else. Nothing works including the home button, locking, swiping, moving icons, etc. I have tried -restarting my iPod; -closing all my apps (double tap home button, swipe apps so they close); -going to Settings&gt;General&gt;Usage to delete apps, but it freezes as soon as I press on UsageMemory is not a problem as I have 10G of free space. I know backing it up and then erasing everything should work, but I don&#x27;t have that option because my USB wire doesn&#x27;t work when I plug it into the Mac. It works for charging via wall charger, but it&#x27;s broken or something and doesn&#x27;t let me connect to iTunes or the computer.
