Use your iPod as hard disk

Your iPod may freeze sometimes, and then you have to reset it. Slide the hold button ( on the top or bottom of nano) to lock position, you will see orange color, slide it back to unlock position. Now hold down center select button and menu together until apple logo appears on the screen. Now release the buttons. It will respond now.
