- Press and hold the Menu and Center buttons for at least 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

i just bought my refurbished i pod nano 8g. It froze up and all i am seeing is a blank gray screen. I have tried to reset it by pressing the center button and the menu button but it still wont reset. What should i do

iPod nano is very good as a walkaround mp3 player. my only complaint is that the included headphones lack good bass. I replaced it with the Sennheiser CX-300 and the sound was awesome.

Had a few Freezes now on my ipod 8g kinda seems to happend when i try to recharge it, it worked to reset it the first time but not more then that, After that i just try to reset, if it dosent work i just plug it in to my computer and it seems to work perfectly, Guess you need to have full battery for it to work to
