Easy peasy! Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.) Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step. I've had 2 freezes with my iPod and this trick always helped me. _________________ Old school forever!

Wooops! Guess you bought the wrong iPod then, eh mate? Only the iPod Video (30GB/60GB) models play video's (the name kinda gives it away, don't you think?) Laughing

once you've cracked the firmware of your ipod and installed podzilla or whatever be prepared for three things: - no more support from apple as you broke your warranty - get used to have your ipod 'stuck' in 'do not disconnect'-mode - better make sure you know how to reboot your ipod

easy peasy problem solved .... next time dont buy an ipod.... there are already so many problems .... i mean how many generations of ipods are there now ? and there always bringing out new ones ? perhaps to keep up with the trend but also to fix bugs and bullshit ? if something was good they wouldnt have to release so many different versions of it ..... i proberly wont buy an ipod again ....my control broke in the first month of me using it ! there not very durable , i use mine hardcore , if ur a hardcore music lover who loves to listen to music constantly dont buy an ipod ... lol they break to easily xd! as for the battery life .... lol dont get me started! lol

My mini has been great, still is in fact. Two freezes is not such a biggie when you know how to reset it. One problem is the battery life though... the batteries are a sad story. Except for that problem which seems to be common for all iPod models it seems like the older ones are the ones with the least problems. I've read too much crap about the Nano to actually get one instead for my mini. It looks sweet enough, but the quality seems quite questionable. _________________ Old school forever!

I've had my Nano for a year and a half, and I use it every time I leave the house, and have never had a problem with it. My son has had his shuffle in constant use for three years and has never had a problem with it. We're just lucky, I guess _________________

ok I think with an iPod you can have sometimesw problems. Like with the Battery or how to use it and of course sometime the support... But Ive bought again an iPod (this time the little brother of my iPod Video the Shuffle 2G) for my mother. Its a birthdaypresent. Now Im asking myself how long load the battery??? I think its hooked up on ym PC now for 5 hours or something like that and the LED is organge. Does someone knows the normal time to load the battery in it? _________________ maxud braucht funk food denn dann bleibt maxud maxud tell me if these are ligh years... dont stop the beat...

and install back the ipod firmware.
