iPod acting funky? Reboot it! Everybody should know how to reboot this beloved device.


The iPod is perfect–almost. If your iPod is acting wierd, try a reboot!

Restart or reset your iPod:

1. Slide the hold key on the top of the device to the right and then back to the left again.
2. Press and hold the Menu button and the center “select” button for a few seconds.
3. After a few seconds, your device will reboot.

    I gave my son an Ipod last year. He inadvertantly put a code in that he can’t remember. His ipod is now useless. How can we reset his ipod so that he can use it again?

    When I hold menu and the centre button, the apple logo appears then doesn’t go until the power runs out. When I try my iPod, it says connect to power so I do but the apple logo reappears and will not budge. Can’t connect to a computer either. Any ideas?
