Unfreeze an iPod

Many of us have already experienced it. If you haven't, it's just a matter of time; your iPod freezes. The first time it happened to me, I went into a state of panic. The cause could be of various reasons. This includes overheating, from over use; programs, too many running at once; and other reasons.

Here is a guide of how to unfreeze almost every iPod. You won't loose any music, videos, etc. This will only restart your iPod.

*Make sure that your iPod is not set to Hold (there is not orange showing). iPod touch and iPhone users don't have to worry about this. *

For all iPod and iPhone models, hold down the buttons shown for approximately 10-12 seconds until a Apple logo shows up. Then you may let go of the buttons.
