My iPod's song timer is stuck on two seconds. How do I fix this?

Thanks,

It's a common problem.

It's been long since I unlocked an iPod (I now use a sony phone instead) so I've forgotton the procedure so look it up on the internet but it should be something like holding down the Select button (the center button) and Menu on the click wheel for 5 seconds. The iPod will display the Apple logo when it has finished rebooting. You may need turn it off then back on again to reboot or mess with the lock/unlock switch.

I've had the same problem and what GatorHex says always seems to work.

My friend discovered that dropping the ipod tends to fix it. It's worked for him several times now.

throw it in a lake

I've done that. lol

Yeah, it's been a while since mine spannered up. Think you press the menu and centre button at the same time and keep them down for like 5 seconds then it resets. Or the play and centre button, I can't remember. One or the other. But if it still isn't having it then first put the device on hold then not on hold (ie. flip the hold switch back and fore in one movement), then do the buttons held down trick. Normally does the business.

If it still won't fix itself then let it play until the battery runs out then hope that it still works. If still acts up then hopefully within a year of buying it to send back to Apple. If you phone them they send someone to collect it (and package it for you).

One time we had a Nano that did the same thing and it took 3 recalls to get it working. Well, it worked the 1st time but they kept cocking up the sodding engraving (single quotes are not good). And waiting about 4 weeks to get it back was pissing us off. After the 2nd engraving cock up we demanded our money back. They won't do that, but after I pretty much demanded blood at the very least down the phone, then the woman said what if they could sort it out in 3 days. Eh? Yep, we will pick it up, *definitely* get it right this time, and send it back to you within 3 days. Err, ok... And yes they did as they said. Apparently if you are nice (I was the first few times) you are put through to normal support, but if you kick up a fuss like a baby then they shove you onto priority support where they definitely will sort out the problem one way or another. 3 days later got the (brand new v2 model actually) Nano back perfectly fine with the correct engraving...

So shout down the phone...

Cheers

Ps. One neat thing though, was 2 out of 3 of the ones we got back were brand new models with the full packaging etc. When I gave the stuff back to the pickup bloke they insisted on only the Nano, nothing else. So basically I have 2 free boxes. No big deal, but free headphones and baggies are nothing to be sniffed at.

and leave it there.
lol jk.
