Thaw Your Frozen iPod

by Jon Chase on October 20, 2009 at 06:34 AM


Impress your less tech-savvy friends by rebooting their seemingly "bricked," or frozen, iPod. For older, click-wheel versions: Toggle the Hold switch from on to off, then press and hold the Menu and Center buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. For iPod Touches and iPhones, simultaneously press the Sleep button (on top) and Home button until the Apple logo appears. (Ignore the option to shut it down and keep holding.) Ta-da! You just saved someone a couple hundies!
