Ipod Frozen?

[Rocketman]

When I plugged in the ipod to the computer to let it recharge, it didn't do anything, I don't think. It's on my mom's computer, which is five years old and has crashed multiple times: it's really crappy. Anyway, I unplugged the ipod around an hour later, and it hadn't charged at all. I tried to go to the menu and raise the volume...the sound effect was there, yet the screen was frozen. It won't work. It's been that way. I can't get on itunes on the computer either.
Ideas?

its frozen?
i think you have to hold the middle button and the botton button at the same time, and it should restart itself. (i think those are the buttons)

hold on -> off then hold down centre and play at the same time. serious.

Alright, I'll try it. The computer said, when I tried to get on itunes, that the ipod or something needed to be reformated. I dunno... I'll just try what you said. If it works, thanks a lot.

How long do I gotta hold it? Nothing happened, except for the button clicking sound effect.

I love you.

Not really... I don't even know you. But I love your help, if that sounds any better. Perfect visual guide. Thanks. Now I'm gonna listen to Hey Soul Sister again.
