One common problem with the iPod nano is that the device can lock up. This can often be fixed by simply resetting the device. To reset your nano, follow this Tech-Recipe.

1. Verify that the device does not have the Hold switch engaged (if it does, this could be the problem!).

2. Press and hold both the Menu and Select buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.

This will not delete any of your songs or files, however you may lose some of your custom settings.
