How do you "unfreeze" an ipod?

Turn on the hold button and press play and menu at the same time for 5 seconds. That will set you free....never fails...it's in the instructions...

PS, it that doesn't do it shut off the hold button. I'm at a loss as to which. One of them will work.

My computer has crashed and I was trying to transfer my Nano tunes to my new laptop. Well I erased all 225 purchased tunes from my Nano. Is there a way I redeem them from Apple? They must have a record. someone? I want to cry....
