| iPod Nano Freezes; Reset Is the Solution
I've had my iPod Nano since October, and there have been probably three times so far where I've had my iPod turned off and when I go to turn it back on and update it by plugging it into my comptuer, my iPod freezes and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I've tried toggling the Hold switch to no avail. The only thing that seems to solve the problem is resetting it by holding the Menu button and the center button at the same time for about six seconds, until the Apple logo appears. After that, it's fine. No data is lost at all, and it continues to work just fine with iTunes recognizing it, etc. Is this typical Nano behavior? Is it normal to have to reset it once in a while? Or is this something that I should be concerned about?

I've had this happen a couple of times with a 2G iPod 10 GB and a 4G iPod 40 GB. Not that often, though, but it's good to remember the "secret reset key-combo" for those occasions.

The iPod and the system drivers are still screwy. Often I will connect my iPod and the whole UI locks up temporarily (can't move mouse, keyboard, etc). This happens also on my PC... but yeah, resetting the iPod fixes 98% of all problems, restoring fixes the rest.  |

What do you mean by "restore" it? Why restore it if resetting it solves the problem and gets it working again? The data is fine, why restore it?
