How to reboot and iPod

Posted by Urban Hafner Thu, 22 Dec 2005 16:46:00 GMT

This is mostly a reminder to myself so that I know where to find it next time.

Today my iPod (G4) started skipping the last 20 seconds (or so) of each song it was playing. Being a computer guy I assumed that rebooting the iPod would probably fix this. Googling for “ipod reboot” I found this weblog entry.

Just in case here’s what to do:

  1. Put the hold switch on and then off again
  2. Press the menu and select (that’s the one in the middle) buttons for a while.
  3. When the apple logo appears on the screen you have successfully rebooted.
