I was waiting at the bus stop this morning listening to tunes when suddenly the music stopped. I looked at the ipod, it said it was playing but the timer wasnt changing and nothing was actually playing. It froze completely, plugging it into the wall and to the computer doesnt do anything and it wont reset.


Any ideas? I really dont want to have to buy another ipod within a year...

I had that all the time with my Creative Zen Micro and the only way to cure it was to take the battery out and put it back in, im not sure if its that easy with the iPod though...

I had that happen twice...once when i first got it and a second timeafter about 2 and a half years.  The first time all i did was wait for the battery to die, the second time it wasnt so easy...a sad face with the apple support page came up. i didnt touch it for like two months and it magically worked after dropping it pretty hard on the ground.
