Ipod Nano frozen

May 3, 2008

I’m really desperate I’ve tried toggling the hold button and holding the center and bottom buttons on my Ipod Nano but that didn’t work it’s still frozen. I was trying to upload songs onto my Ipod when I noticed nothing was happening so I disconnected the Nano and now it’s frozen. I can’t do anything on my Ipod now, nothing works on the screen not even the dimmer. Please help.

Yep sounds like your Ipod Nano is frozen. So here’s how to reset the Nano or any of the Ipods with the scroll wheel. Press and hold the Center and the Top (Menu) buttons for about 6-10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. You may need to repeat this several times.

Worked like a charm for me too! Thanks! Apple does not seem to make this suggestion on their site, so I was glad to find this one.
Thanks again!
