Answer 1

go 2 the ipod service center..............................

Answer 2

good luck:

For iPod Photo, iPod mini, iPod video, and the iPod with the click-wheel, toggle the hold switch on and then off. Very quickly, then press the menu button and the selection button at the same time. Hold them until the screen resets (usually about 6 seconds).

For all other iPods, press the Play/Pause button and the Select Button (in the center of the wheel) at the same time. Hold them until the screen resets (usually about 6 seconds).

If this does not work right away, try plugging it in and then repeating the above steps while the iPod has a power supply.

Answer 3

Try switching the hold button on and off and then clicking on the menu and centre button at the same time until the apple logo appears. Then click the menu button and it should be back to normal. That should work but if it doesn't one of the 5 r's probably will. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
