Apple ipod nano problem?

Question

its saying its on 'hold' so none of the buttons are working, when the hold button is actually off.. whats happened? and what can be done now to start it up again?

Answer 1

either flick the hold switch back and forth a couple times.  then maybe try holding the center button and menu until the ipod restarts.  then just let the batteries die if neither of those work

Answer 2

let the battery die out and wait a few hours than plug it back in the computer and safely disconnect it than turn it on and try it out. that should work

Answer 3

Let the battery die and then recharge it, worked when i had this problem.
