I went to drive in my car and use the ipod feature and I noticed that it wasn't working, so I looked at the ipod and it says "Ok to Disconnect" and has a black checkmark... Also, it shows that it's charging even though it's not even plugged in.. which is odd!

Anyway, I've tried to re-sync it to itunes, and I've tried to hold down the off (Play/Pause) and no luck... anyone have any ideas? Is there an Apple Help line I can call for iPod?

Thanks

I believe that in order to reboot it you need to hold down the Play/Pause button and the Menu button at the same time for about 5 seconds.

...I think.

Assuming it's the same as my Nano, I think it's either Menu + Center circle button or Play/Pause + Center circle button to reboot it.
