Answer 1

Mini, 4th, Photo, Nano, and 5G Generations
Reboot iPod: Hold down the Menu and Select buttons.
Disk Mode: Immidiately hold down the Play and Select buttons as the iPod reboots. 1
Diagnostic Mode: Hold Rewind and Select buttons as the iPod reboots.
Non-default Firmware (only when the old ipodloader is installed): Hold Rewind after rebooting the iPod. (Alternatively, switch the hold switch to 'lock position' after rebooting)
The Select button is the one in the Center of the click/scroll wheel.

1 To reach disk mode, connect the iPod to your PC/Mac before starting. Then press and hold the 'Reboot iPod' combination above until the iPod reboots (you'll notice a change on the screen). Quickly move your hand so you are now holding the 'Disk Mode' combination above. You have to do this before the apple logo comes back (or perhaps within 1 second afterwards).

Answer 2

Plug it in on your pc. attempt restoring it. Thats what i did with my nano on an identical time because it does not unfreeze and it rather is effective. if it is the 1st gen, they're sluggish no count quantity quantity what. in line with possibility yours is slower than conventional.
