mine has froze before. just let it warm up for a while, and maybe charge it, because a lot of the time they say they are dead if they froze.

you should jsut let it warm up becasue since it has moving parts they can freeze...but if you have one of the original oldschool ipod they cna't really freeze in the cold becasue they have no moving parts

ya the new video's have real hard drives and if they get too cold they get sketchy. let it warm up and take it easy with it. i use my itrip all the time but i always remember to bring it back in the house when i get home

turn the hold switch on then off and hold the menu button and the middle circle button down simultaneously...hopefully it will reset it or somethin, if not...you might have a battery problem. Your ipod itself is probably fine tho, i put mine in the freezer every once in a while because it is really fucked up and the hard drive freezes all the time but when I put it in the freezer it kinda resets it for whatever reason. So ya, the cold isnt really bad for the ipod itself.

you should obviously put it in the microwave/toaster/oven to warm it up again




and if you actually are retarded enough to do it, im not liable.
