New iPod BROKEN!

I'm assuming you have the 4G iPod Photo? Holding down all the button probably won't do anything, but holding down I THINK - Menu and the Center button, will reset it.

 

Have you tried holding down the middle button and the top of the click wheel simultaneously? This should hopefully reset it.

 

ditto, go get the instruction book and double check the reset instructions and give it a go. My 40gb 4G iPod frooze up like this one me once and I reset it and hasn't happened since.

 

Just a BTW, assuming the reset fixes your problem, I'm pretty sure it would have been caused by the iPod having to access the hard drive whilst being jerked around quite a bit. It happens to mine quite a bit because I go running with it all the time. There's a buffer to prevent this so it's fine so long as I let the iPod choose the tracks and I don't go playing random stuff as I'm running. This way it'll keep the buffer filled and it won't really have to access the hard drive.

Let the battery run out, then recharge. It should be fine then.

iPods can sometimes 'run home to momma' if given a good static shock, been jostled, had some water dripped on it, etc.

You let the battery go, and it'll forget the trauma, and should come happily back to you..
