How to Unfreeze an iPod Nano

Video Transcript

"Did you know that occasionally Apple products break? Hi I'm Dan Afonso of Afoso Consulting and Enfold IT. I'm going to show you how to reset your iPod Nano. The Nano, possibly the best music player made recently. It is simple, light, unfortunately it sometimes kind of gets stuck and it doesn't do anything. The reasons it does this are fairly limited. The usual one I am seeing is it fails to sync. There is a sync issue and it just doesn't have the right timing or the cable comes unplugged at the wrong time. It just freezes up. Another issue is bad batteries. If your batteries die or are weak or are sporadic which is much worse your iPod is going to have some issues. Also there is the usual case where it may just be defective. In any case, resetting this isn't that tough. What you have to do is you have to take your iPod that is frozen, this one isn't but I'm going to pretend it is and simply take your finger and push here and push here and now hold down for five seconds, or ten whatever it takes and eventually your iPod will reboot itself. I'm Dan Afonso and that's how you reset your iPod Nano. Boot, come on."
