    I Pod Problem

    LOML has an I Pod Classic. After starting, or while using, it stops, the screen goes gray and the main menu comes on. To continue using she has to start again. The unit is fully charged, and this happens under any power source. She has gone on line to I Pod forums (yeah, they do exist), and there are others that have the same problem, but nobody has an answer. Any ideas?

      Have you tried a reset?

      I have an iPod Mini, and although I have not had your exact problem, I have had other strange behavior and a reset usually clears it up. Here are the instructions to do one for a Mini (check your manual for reset instructions for a Classic):

      Resetting iPod mini
      Most problems with iPod mini can be solved by resetting iPod mini.
      To reset iPod mini:


      1
      Connect iPod mini to a power outlet using the iPod Power Adapter.
      2


      Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again).
      3


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


      Hope this helps -

          Try resetting:

          If that doesn't work, update/reinstall software:

              Jeff & Bigbit:

              Thanks for the info. LOML is at work, and I emailed her your help. I'll keep ya-all posted.

                  If that doesn't work I'll trade you my daughter's ipod nano which went through the wash shortly after she got it, and my son's ipod video which came apart and broke the connectors. Guess I can't send you the 2 that were lost/stolen from bookbags.
