Answer 1

Before taking it back, follow Apple's "5 R Steps"
1. Reset your iPod.
2. Retry with a different USB port.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software.
5. Restore your iPod.

Resetting is done by holding the center button and menu together for about 5 seconds. Restoring is done by using the iPod software on your computer or the disk that came with it. This will erase everything on the iPod and set it back to factory settings. Most issues can be solved by doing these steps. If they do not help, take it back.

Answer 2

I had this happen to me. Don't worry. Basically what you need to do is go to a place that sells ipods. I took mine to BestBuy.

They just need to reset the ipod. They explained that sometimes it will just freeze up on you like that, and it usually happens to brand new ones. They just need to reset it and it'll be find. You'll lose anything that you had on the ipod though fyi.

It wont help if you plug it back into the comp. At least that's what happend when mine froze. Just a heads up.

I hope this helps.
