Thanks a lot! I was yelling and screaming at my iPod for several hours, hehe. But finally managed to reboot it with the center and menu key. Thanks!

After some moments of panic when my 6GB iPod Mini froze, I discovered here the menu/middle button suggestion, which worked like a charm. Thank you!

hey if you have an ipod touch all you have to do is hold the home button and the on or wake button for approx ten seconds and the you have restarted your ipod.
