My stupid nano is frozen again. this time it's saying it 's locked when it's not and I cant use it. Does anyone know of a reset type thing or anything like that? I've tried switching it to locked and unlocked and that hasn't worked. Next Im going ot try throwing it against the wall and see what happens.

Hold down the Menu button and the middle button at the same time for a few seconds and that may restart it.

The other option is to plug it in to your computer and when iTunes opens, there's something in there where you can set it back to factory settings.

Hopefully that works. Good luck!

The same thing has happened to me. The Apple website is super helpful. Here are their instructions (which worked for me).


Toggle the Hold switch. To do this, slide the switch to Hold (an orange bar appears) and then slide it back (orange bar is hidden).
Reset the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, connect the iPod to a power source by either plugging it into an Apple iPod USB Power Adapter or directly into a computer's USB port.
Let the iPod charge for at least 20 minutes. Note: If the iPod is connected to a computer, make sure the computer is not set to sleep, standby, or hibernate.
After the iPod has charged for at least 20 minutes and while it is still connected to the power source, toggle the Hold switch again as in step 1.
Try resetting the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, the iPod should be serviced.


It's easier to read on apple.com. Here is the link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304997
