这几句快把我笑翻了：“If you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Center (Select) button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.”

是我太有幽默感了么。

Summary

Learn how to reset or restart iPod following a freeze. Tip: Check out this helpful movie too.

If you have an iPod shuffle, click here for reset steps. If you have an iPod touch, see this document.

Important: If your iPod is frozen or won’t turn on, it may be because iPod is paused or the Hold switch is in the locked position. If so, a lock symbol appears on the screen. Slide the Hold switch to the unlocked position and check the screen.

If the iPod is connected to a computer and displays any of the following messages you should eject the iPod from within iTunes instead of resetting it:

  • Connected. Eject before disconnecting
  • Sync in Progress. Please wait…
  • Do not disconnect

If your iPod is frozen or won’t turn on, the steps to reset it vary by model. You can easily tell which iPod model you have if you’re not sure.

  2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn’t set to go to sleep.

When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time are preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on.

iPod not responding

If your iPod does not respond to these steps, see additional steps in the “iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ“.

Additional Information

Apple releases new versions of the iPod Software Update application from time to time. These later versions may include new functions or improvements to existing features. Learn about updating iPod’s software.

To return iPod to its original factory settings, use the iPod Software Updater utility to restore iPod.

许久没用nano，这东东最近几次僵死。依稀记得好象有按几个键重启的过程，还有进调试模式的方式。

调试暂时用不上了，不过重置还是蛮有用的。

上网翻了翻apple的FAQ，这段描述实在看的我觉得很有趣。贴过来留个纪念。

Symptoms

Having trouble with your iPod? These troubleshooting steps will show you the smoothest path to resolving your issue. Be sure to perform troubleshooting before having your iPod serviced.

Products Affected

iPod

Resolution

Start with these first

  • Make sure that your computer meets the system requirements for the iPod.
  • In some cases, simply updating to the latest versions of iTunes and iPod Software may resolve your issue.
  • Visit the iPod Support page if you have questions about using your iPod or need help with an issue.
  • Check out these helpful tutorials for more information on updating and troubleshooting your iPod.

Your iPod doesn’t respond, won’t turn on, or the display remains blank

If your iPod doesn’t respond, is “frozen”, won’t turn on, or nothing appears on the LCD screen check for these possible causes:

  • The Hold switch may be on. Check the Hold switch to make sure it’s not in the locked position. Unlock it, and try using iPod again.

    Tip: Even if the Hold switch is already in the unlocked position, it’s sometimes helpful to toggle it so it’s locked and unlocked again.

  • You may need to reset your iPod. Resetting your iPod does not affect your music or data files.
  • Your iPod’s battery may not be charged. Plug your iPod in, wait for a moment, press a button to turn it on, and check the screen. Here are some easy steps to get the most out of your battery. Note: On recent iPod models, when the battery is completely empty, your computer may not recognize your iPod for up to 30 minutes even though it’s connected and charging.

Songs do not transfer to your iPod

If you’ve recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes and songs do not copy to your iPod, your iPod may require a specific or later version of iPod software. Use iTunes 7 or later to determine if your iPod’s software needs to be updated.

You see a folder icon with an exclamation point

Some iPod models require a specific or later version of iPod software. Try updating or restoring iPod. If you still see the exclamation point, try these additional troubleshooting tips. If you see a sad iPod icon with an exclamation point, see this article.

iPod doesn’t appear in iTunes, on the desktop, or in Windows Explorer

Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or on the desktop when you connect it to your computer. For Mac, find an answer here. For Windows PC customers, try these solutions.

“Do not disconnect” screen

The “Do not disconnect” screen is normal. Learn more about the disconnect screens.

The headphones don’t work

If your iPod’s headphones don’t work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn’t work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.

Gather information for service

To order service for your iPod, you’ll need to know its serial number and purchase date. If service for your iPod is not covered under Apple’s one-year limited warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod, there will be a fee.

How to get your iPod serviced

It’s easy! Additional answers to common service questions can be found in the iPod Service FAQ.

Important

  1. If you use our online repair service, please provide an address where someone will be available to accept the service box or accessory.
  2. If your iPod was personalized (engraved) by Apple, please use our online repair service, which is the only way to have a replacement iPod sent with the same personalization.

What is the status of my iPod repair?

Just go to our Repair Status page any time you want to find out the status of your iPod repair.
