Uh... help? iPod, ze is frozen.

iPod users...

Have any of you ever had your iPod freeze up? Just sit there on a menu and not move. It's been over 12 hours and the thing won't shut down.

I've tried plugging it into the computer and recharging it. All night.
I've tried toggling the switch on the bottom off and on.
I've tried holding down the menu button for many, many, many seconds.
I've tried plugging it into a different USB port.

It just sits there, stuck. And while my computer recognize something is plugged into that port, iTunes doesn't recognize there's an iPod.

Help. *is very sad* This is wildernessguru's birthday present.


ETA: Thank fucking god! It just worked!

I had to have the button on top On, the iPod unplugged, and hold the Menu and Center button at the same time.

Thank you lirren, titti, and jackoweskla.

Pardon a total stranger for jumping in here, but I saw this on my foaf list and I've had a number of problems in the past with my iPod freezing up so I thought I'd contribute.

You need to hold down both the center button and the up (menu) direction key on the scroll wheel at the same time for anywhere from 5-15 seconds. If it doesn't reset, keep holding. It should reset itself, but keep all your data. The screen will go black, and then the Apple logo will show. This confirms a successful reset.

No, please, thank you.

What may I do for you? I have drabbles, pick your fandom, pick your pairing.
