How-To: Reset your iPod (when your iPod has frozen)
Mar.26, 2008 in

Okay, this happens to my iPod all the time and I always forget how to unfreeze it. So here are the simple instructions to reset your iPod Classic (< 5th Generation), iPod Mini and iPod Nano:
- Cycle the hold switch switch a couple of times and leave hold off
- Hold down the Menu and Middle Button for 6-8 seconds
- The iPod should reset and display the Apple logo
If the above steps don’t work, try repeating them a few times. I haven never had a problem getting the iPod to reset with a little repetition.
