Roaming Mum

After a year of using my 120GB iPod  classic , it suddenly froze on me yesterday! This was the first time that this happened after several times of being dropped! At first, I can still select some songs but doesn’t play then it came to a point where I can’t do anything! As in it’s totally frozen!

After minutes of googling, i finally managed to bump into a site that worked to revive my baby!

Here’s how to soft reset your iPod:

1. Press the menu button and the center button at the same time.
2. Hold the buttons down for 8 seconds. Wait until the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears.
3. Your iPod has been officially reset!

It didn’t work at first but I tried it again after 30 mins. and it worked!

If that didn’t work, you may also want to try this:

1. Make sure the iPod Classic isn’t simply paused or locked. Check the screen for a lock symbol. If you see a lock, unlock the Hold switch. You should be back in business.
2. Put the iPod on a flat surface to stabilize it. Slide the Hold switch on, then slide it off.
3. Hold down Select and Menu together for several seconds with two fingers. Make sure your finger isn’t touching the Click Wheel. When the Apple logo appears, release Select and Menu.
4. If the iPod Classic doesn’t reset, repeat the above step. If that still doesn’t get your iPod Classic to restart, plug the iPod into a power adapter or a computer and see if it starts up.
