How To Reset Your iPod

Did that iPOD of yours keep freezing?! If your iPod is frozen or won’t turn on, it may be because iPod is paused or the Hold switch is in the locked into it’s position. If that’s the case then a lock symbol appears on the screen. Slide the Hold switch to the unlocked position and check the screen. If that’s not the case then follow these steps:

1-Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

2-Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

3- If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod because it’s not cooperating, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

*If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn’t set to go to sleep.

If these steps don’t work then have it checked out.
