Just becuase I keep needing to do this:
To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:
- iPod nano (3rd generation)
- iPod classic
- iPod (5th generation)
- iPod nano (2nd generation)
- iPod nano
- iPod with color display (iPod photo)
- iPod (Click Wheel)
- iPod mini
- iPod mini (2nd generation)
- Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
- Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
