Step 1: Lock And Unlock

On the top of your iPod, slide the hold button to the "on" position. You will know it's on when you can see orange.

Then, slide the hold button back to the "off" position.

Step 2: Reset

Simultaneously hold down the Menu button and the center of the click wheel until you see the Apple logo in the iPod display.

When you see the Apple logo, release both buttons.

Consider your iPod reset.

    All I do is let it die. When it freezes i don't reset it, It just dies within a few hours depending on the battery level. Sometimes it takes all night. But then all you do is charge it back up and everything is okay.
