Ipod nano locked by itself. HELP!

I got this ipod nano a few months ago, and i've never had any problems with it.
But yesterday i took it down here to the computer to hook it up so it would charge. then i come back an hour later and find it didnt charge, and thers a lock symbol next to the play/pause icon in the top left corner of the ipod screen. i tried click stuff on the ipod, but it wouldnt move. so i unhooked it, and tried to reset it but holding down menu and the select. and then menu and the play/pause button because i forgot which one it was to reset it. but neither worked. then i toggled the hold button, and that didnt work. and just pressing stuff doesnt work either. then i hooked it back up. and it still is like that.
someone please help me! i dont know what to do with it.
thankyou

Igor, could you tell me what you did to fix it? My
iPod fell out of my locker and now my iPod's stuck on
hold!
Are yu saying that the hold switch doesn't work to get it out of "Hold"? Have you tried (with the hold switch in the left or off position) to reset it: press and hold Menu and Select (center) buttons at the same time for at least 6 seconds?

  • Ipod Nano Locked Up PLEASE HELP!!!

    Ok, I purchased a second generation 4gig green Ipod nano on Monday. For some strange reason today it locked up. Now it refuses to work at all. It is stuck with the backlight on and the music paused. I do not know what I did worng or if it is my Ipod. It was working perfectly. Then I pressed pause and it screwed up. If nobody can help me by tommorrow I will have to take it back. Also, my computer just managed to detect it. It told me I should restore it so I told it yes. Now it keeps having the error message "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." Somebody please help me.

  • When on battery power, my IPod Nano it shuts itself off after 2-3 minutes.  Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

    Can anyone help me keep my iPod Nano from shutting itself down after 2-3 minutes on battery power?  It works fine when connected to a power source.
    Thanks,
    George

    Try here to fix it.  I doubt that you will ever find out why it did that.

  • My ipod nano pauses by itself 3 to 4 times per song..how can i fix it?

    My ipod nano pauses by itself 3 to 4 time per song... i need help and information on getting it fix...please help

    Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be seen.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

  • My 6th generation ipod nano volume adjusts itself and turns down volume without me touching it.  This is the second ipod on which this has happened. I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!

    My ipod nano 6th generation has started changing the volume while music is playing. It doesn't matter whether I am running or sitting.  It will turn volume down to zero in the middle of a song.  This happened on my last ipod a few months ago and I returned it and got a new one.  This is my second grey one.  I don't want to have to return it again, but I might.

    Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store.  Let them see what you are seeing.  Only this time............
    Prior to leaving the Apple Store:    ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

  • IPod nano locked with folder and exclamation

    I have received today a new iPod nano and it has worked just for an hour. In the middle of a transfer from my pc it got locked. I tried everything but to no avail. It doesn't reset pressing select and menu and it doesn't restore with iPod updater, because it cannot write to it. All I see is the folder with an exclamation mark and the support page ("www.apple.com/support/ipod"). So I am lost.
    Any help?

    If you put it in disk mode, then try connecting to the computer and restoring.
    Also, see this...

  • Ipod Nano Locked and impossible to unlock!!!

    Last time I charged my 2G Ipod Nano I noticed it was locked: the lock icond appeard on the screen but the hold button was not on the hold position.
    After it got charged, I was unable to unlock it, the hold button does not respond.
    I don't know what to do and I fear I have messed it in a way it won't be able to function again.
    Please help me!

    Well, first of all install ipod updater. You get it here at apple.com. I did this when my ipod was skipping songs it fixes problems for a month but then well they come back... Anywho restart and restore your nano (i know it ***** but this deletes all the songs on your nano). If thaat does not work take it to the apple store and explain the problem and they will either replace it or tell you how to fix it.

  • NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

    Hi Guys,
    I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have.
    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
    The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    How long was it "stuck?"
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

    My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
    i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
    a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
    but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?
