IPod Problem

namkcuR · 01-08-2006, 03:23 PM

My 30GB IPod 5G won't turn off when I hold play. I know that normally the solution to this problem is to reset the IPod by holding in Play and Menu at the same time for 5 or 10 seconds, but my IPod won't even do that righ tnow. It' just...on. It'll play anything I want it - it works, it just won't turn off or reset.

What do I do?

Try plugging it into a wall powersource.

That's helped mine before.

To reset it i think you have to toggle the hold switch on and off several times before you hold menu and the middle button. I went weeks trying to figure out why wine wouldn't turn on and when I was resetting it i was pressing menu - play instead of menu - and the middle button
