Hi there,

I have an 80gig classic less than 1 year old!

What does it mean when it freezes on pause?

If I press reset will it wipe the memory

Thanks in advance

Hello Paul,
Could be a problem with the hard drive. I've had mine do funny things when a drive was on the way out. I've also had it be funny when left in the car overnight during winter, so it got a tad cold. After a couple of hours inside it was fine.

You might want to run a disk check program on the iPod, see if it picks anything up. Having said that, I've run Disk Utility on mine when the drive was dying and it said it was fine, which was total tosh. If I went into Terminal and tried to copy a file it'd fail with an I/O error, so I knew there was a real issue there.

If you have content that exists only on the iPod then I'd advise trying to copy it from the iPod now, just in case the disk is going.

Depends what you mean by resetting it. If you mean use the "Restore" option in iTunes then it'll wipe everything on it, so yes, you'll need to add music back onto it. If you mean using these instructions, then no, it won't kill all the data on the iPod, it literally just resets the device.
