iPod help!

!!

My iPod (nano) is “stuck.” Basically the screen is frozen on. I can’t turn it off or change tracks or get it to do anything at all. I was playing it in my docking station when it just stopped playing. I looked over and it was frozen. Grrrr.

Anyone know anything about this?

I think if you hold down the middle circle button and the play button at the same time for a few seconds it should reset.

Yep! Its pretty cool, it doesnt hurt nothing too, I do though Advise that you kill off that song, for it might have a virus or something. Thats happened to me many times, and killing the song off helped real well. Just Dlod a differ version of it, or a differ file of it, you can tell its differ by the size of the file.

Well poo. I tried that and it didn’t work. It is like 4 years old, but still….

I think I still have the book for it somewhere at home.

Thanks Washu, I’ve played this song on it a million times and it never had a problem before. but I did download another album recently, so that one could have messed it up somewhere.

lol. I think the boaring ones were the best, for I have tried many, I also have 3 sets, but only use one cause they are comphy! Nikki! its okay! Dont worry, my sis has a silver nano, I got a blue one because everyone I knew had a silver one, and charged it at my sisters house. Its funny when everyone gets theirs mixed up. I dont have to worry though! lol!

Yea! I named mine Blueberry cause thats what I was eating at the time I opened mine up. :D and it sounds cute. Do you have earbuds too Nikki?

Ok, first off; no ear buds. My ears are too small and they never stay in.

Last night I finally got a chance to look at it and plug it into my computer. By that time the battery had died so it was fianlly off. It turned back on no problem. So um….crisis averted!!

So weird.

I thought about taking the battery out, but I’m not even sure where it is! LOL.

is there an apple store near you? because, if there is, it most likely has a genius bar where you can get it fixed. you can look up store locations on the apple website. best of luck! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. The toggling the buttons and holding them down did not work. Tried it several times, waiting 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds up to a minute and it never reset. Eventually the battery drained and it died off completely.

I was able to recharge it, and it’s working normally again.

Thank you.
