Pod Trouble

5 06 2008

After the recent software update from Apple for my Ipod Nano 3rd(ver 1.2), There has been lots of system hangs, always my ipod gets stuck often. I don’t know if its the software which is causing this, but after the software update it causes the ipod to hang. So most of the times i was restoring the software every time it hangs using Itunes, Later it get was frustrating as all my songs,podocasts,photos where also erased with it, so i searched the net and THEN i realised 😛 there is something called restarting a system he he..

RESTARTING AN IPOD

Restarting an ipod is pretty simple, you need to do the following steps

  1. Check if HOLD button is NOT on hold 😛
  2. Slide the HOLD button to hold and slide it back to unhold again
  3. Press and hold the MENU button and CENTER button simulatenously for a few seconds(5-6 sec). You should see the screen go blank and a Grey apple logo on the screen. You may release the buttons then.
  4. If you dont see the logo, try repeating the steps 2 and 3.
  5. If that doesn’t help try restoring the apple software using itunes( 😛 like how i used to do before )
  6. If even that doesn’t help you have bigger problems call the apple customer care and pray that you are in the warranty period.

Most of the times restarting the ipod helps, if not that restoring the ipod software helps most times.
