Restarting and Resetting iPod touch
If something isn’t working right, try restarting, force quitting an application, or
resetting iPod touch.
Restart iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on,
press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset.
A reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn’t resolve the
problem.
Force quit an application: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch
for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button
until the application quits.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
