How to restore iPod for Windows XP and 2000
This procedure assumes that the iPod preferences are in their default condition, which means iTunes automatically opens whenever you connect iPod to your computer.
Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
When restoring some iPod models with USB you will have to disconnect the iPod from the computer and attach it to the iPod AC Adapter to finish the restore (a graphic of a plug on the iPod will indicate if you have to do this. Some iPod models connecting via USB, including iPod mini (Second Generation) and iPod nano, do not need to be connected to the AC power adapter.
1. Open the iPod Software Updater application. It can be found by clicking on the Start menu, pointing to All Programs (Windows XP) or Programs (Windows 2000), and then point to iPod.
2. Select the iPod Updater showing the most recent date in the filename.
3. Connect your iPod to your Windows PC.
4. When it becomes available, click Restore. An alert box appears to confirm you want to restore iPod.
5. A progress bar appears on the computer screen.
6. When the restore process on the computer has finished, close the iPod Updater and look at the screen on the iPod.
* If you see an image of a wall power plug, connect your iPod to the AC adapter that came with it and plug it into a wall outlet and wait for the restore to complete.
* If you see a progress bar underneath the Apple logo, leave the iPod connected to the computer.
* If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod.
7. After the restore is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
iPod has been restored to factory settings and updated with the music and playlists in your iTunes music library.
ur also prolly gonna need the new ipod and itunes software if u havent updated them yet. hope this helps
-
but when i plug in the usb to the modem it says that its a high speed usb is being plugged into a low speed usb. where do i plugg it then
-
what happens if i just let the battery run out the i recharge it.will the frozen thing go away
-
that low speed usb just means ur using older usb technology it will still work. go ahead and let it drain if u think that will help and if it ever gets unfrozen, plug it back in. if the library is deleted that means its fucked up. then u gotta restore the settings. thatll most likely happen, if it restarts and everythings intact ur lucky, but most likely u'll have to restore the factory settings
-
i dont even no what the hell i did but i fixed it lol i think it was because i let the battery die out .i didnt loose 1 song .thanks for helping a homie out
-
no problem, good looks on not losing anything.
-
fuck ipods. i bought one this summer and it gave me nothing but problems. i had to take it back to best buy in less than a week to exchange it cuz of the same shiet you mentioned
-
no problems with mine, works like a charm, some people are rude with these lil babys
-
ive had mine for almost a year now, and i give it a daily thrashing and ive yet to encounter any problems
-
<----has one for sale...20 gig, new color screen w/video...retails $300...selling for $175. Holla!
-
ive had three ipods, and all my friends have ipods. none of us have ever had anything wrong happen to ours.
-
mine recently didnt want to turn on... i just left it alone for 2 days and it "fixed itself" i guess now it works fine.
-
i had a 20 gig 4th gen, and now a 60 gig photo, no problems with either..
-
I had an iPod a couple of years ago it has nothing on the iRiver I have now. Worst part is Apple's terrible, terrible customer service.
-
It's funny how some people complain, but dont tell you how they dropped it or ran it over with their car.

Anyway, for the original poster that had the problem with the "frozen" screen...

By the way, "resetting" an iPod should not delete your music. "Restoring" it will.
I've had an iPod since they were first released (originally for Mac only) and never had a problem.

My paychecks don't say Apple on them. I simply like their product and the brand.
