sokmebody please help me.

I got an old iPod just yesterday and it was working fine.

It suddenly freezes and when I finally get it working again it randomly pauses and switches songs and fast forwards them and wont turn off. And then it freezes again.

I did something and then tried seeing if going to an (audio) podcast would work.

It slided halfway on and now my iPod is frozen with an unloaded podcast.

 

What is wrong with my iPod, and how do I fix it?

or atleast turn it off?

:confused:

what were you doing when you used it?

i mean you had it on your pocket?

the buttons are very sensitive and can be clicked easily....

when i play my ipod and i hide it on my pocket i always use the block option so the buttons don't click themselves.

Try pressing the centre button and Menu button Simultaneously until it turns off. Remember to count slowly, I did it too fast and delayed myself:P

Could you maybe copy and paste anything that might apply to me?

If its not too much to ask. The site is too big for my computer.

This is for all Nanos

 

 

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.
   

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, 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.

To reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)

 

 

 

 

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
   
2. Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
   

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 you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Center (Select) button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.

When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time are preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on.

Thankyou :nice: :kiss:
