iPod is Frozen If your iPod freezes or crashes, try a simple reset to get it running again.

Some models require you instead to hold down the Menu and Play/Pause buttons for up to 10 seconds. Your iPod should come back to life. If not, try connecting it to iTunes and restoring the hard drive. If it still doesn't work, the problem could be the battery, but it could be the internal circuitry.
