Restart the ipod, by holding the centre and menu buttons OR the lock and home button (Ipod touch), then reconnect to the computer.
If a game happens to freeze on the ipod touch you can press the top power button and the button that would usually bring you back to the home page of the ipod touch. Hold them both until the ipod goes black, which means that you reset the ipod. when turning it back on, your ipod will function properly and you can restart your game!
It depends on what is wrong with it. If you need to reset it, hold the home button with the power button wait until it switches off you will then see the apple symbol and your iPod should then restart, this if its an iPod Touch
restart your ipod touch
all you need to do is press the home button for a few secs and it will restart
Hold the Home button and Sleep button at once until the screen goes black (about 10 seconds). The iPod will then restart, which can take a few minutes.
You would have to restart it, it all depends on what model you have if its an ipod nano or video try holding down the middle button with the down or up button. If you have an Ipod touch or iphone hold the power and home button at the same time -- i have an i touch owned a nano previously hope this helped
The iPod Touch does not have a 'hold button'. To restart the iPod Touch from a frozen screen position, hold down the power button, and then slide the off switch to the right, and it will shut off (and will take longer than usual). Then, just turn it back on by holding the power button until the Apple logo appears.
The iPod Touch sleep/wake button is the button, when pressed once, puts your iPod to sleep. It also awakens your iPod Touch from that sleep and turns on and off your iPod Touch.
When it freezes hold down the power button (the one at the top) and the home button for about 10 seconds or until the apple symbol shows up on the screen. Your ipod will restart and it should be fine.
hold down the sleep button at the top until it asks to power down. do so and press the home button to restart.
ANSWER: in general, - Turn the HOLD switch on and then off then - hold down the menu button and the center button for about 5 seconds This will reset the ipod, but no data will be lost.
