I was having trouble with my iPod mini on vacation (it wouldn't turn off) and I forgot how to reset it. Found your article, reset the iPod and it turns off fine now. Thanks for the post!
How to Fix a Frozen iPod
Categories: Portable AV
The 4Gb versions (minis) seem to freeze more than the regular ones. You need to reset the iPod in order to get it functioning again. To reset:
Hold the menu and action (middle button) together.
This should reset the iPod.
I have heard some people mention that occasionally some albums appear to be missing after the reset due to database corruption. I have not witnessed any db corruption on mine so I cannot speak to that issue.

I have owned several iPods including two minis and I can't say that I have seen more trouble with the minis. Does anyone else find this to be true?

"All about the Rock and the Roll"
i need extreme help i was walking my dog while listening to my ipod and i wanted to switch from one song to the other and when i pressed the button it just stoped . Then after that all i was able to do was switch from shuffle song play to the list before. The light of the ipod would not go off ,when i tryed to move my thumb around it it would not work. And when i pressed the buttons nothing happened. Please tell me you can help . Its an ipod that has 2 gb. Please help.
I got a new PINK ipod for my birthday, and it worked great until last night. It didn't lock or freeze up or anything, but it wouldn't play. When I clicked on a song or a video, it would flash to it for a fraction of a second, then go back to the menu from which I chose it.
I found this post, reset my ipod, and now all is well again.
Just wanted to make the point that a "reboot" like this is helpful even when the ipod is not frozen.
Thanks, everyone!
