Troubleshooting: Your iPod Wonโ€™t Turn On

If your iPod wonโ€™t turn on, most likely itโ€™s one of two things: (1) Check to see if your button lock (that Hold button on top of the iPod) is turned on. If it is, all buttons are locked. Slide it over so you donโ€™t see the orange indicator any longer (which unlocks all the buttons), then press any button to turn on your iPod.

If neither of these two solutions works, try resetting your iPod (using the instructions on the next page).
