My Ipod Locked Up

posted by Rory Wilfong in Business Life, Entertainment |

Whenever your Ipod locks up(freezes) hold the center button and the menu button down at the same time until it resets.

note… this is for the ipod nano… not sure about the others.

worked on my 30g vid. Used to have to let it sit until completely drained (LONG time), then plug back into my computer for a new, complete charge. Very frustrating, Apple fails to mention this trick in any Ipod references, wonder why. COMPLETELY solved my problem here. Thanks.

THANK YOU! This worked for my 40 gig photo. I was freaking out because it was working fine and then it just froze.

Thanks!! My ipod has been locked up for 2 days. I searched the ipod help and everything at apple.com. And of course I wasn’t able to find anything about an ipod locking up. Thanks for the great help that apple wouldn’t give!

Hi guys , i just wanna say thank you very,very much for that very cool tip!!!!
My 80g ipod was frozen for 3 hours . I too was freaking out . This is a solution that
Apple should have on their website . After finding your website (with that very cool tip )

thank you… just worked on my daughter’s nano. She was so worried that it would be broken forever. She will be so happy to find it working again in the morning.

Wow!Love ya! I just bought my 3rd gen. 2 days ago and was so upset that it froze and would not respond to ANYTHING. It took about a minute holding those bottons down but it’s back to normal. Thank you so so much for this post!
